Lovely Mail

Organising swaps for me, is a fun process, yes a lot of work, but still fun. I receive a ton of joy from it and discover new blogs that inspire me to try new ways of doing what I love. It also connects me with women, I otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to meet in person. I never organise a swap with the thought in mind of receiving extra parcels in the mail.
Last week and yesterday I was blessed with beautiful mail from two extremely generous women who were a part of the pin cushion and the bag swap.
The first parcel arrived from Pat. Anyone who knows Pat, knows that she gives from her heart. I have been blessed in the past by Pat, and this time was just as exciting and just as generous. I started to open the parcel and realised that you didn't want to see a pile of screwed up wrapping paper.

Such a cute envelope of parcels, which included very yummy and already gone chocolate, yummy tea, chocolate milk concentrate, a gorgeous mouse pad calendar,very pretty Fall charms, and a bottle of Best Press. Thank you so much Pat, I adore everything that you so generously included in my parcel, and the timing of it's arrival was perfect.

Yesterday the post lady left a box on my front porch from Mar. Another lady who is extremely generous and giving. All beautifully tied up with fall bows and leaves.

Oh my gosh, talk about being spoilt! An extremely cute mini iron, a yummy box of pumpkin cake mix, 2 sweet charm packs and a terrific pattern to use them in and a lovely fall pumpkin with such a sweet Scripture verse on it. The card made me giggle, :Queen Of Everything".....
Thank you so much Mar, what a wonderful surprise. You have both blessed my socks off, thank you ladies.

Happy Stitching.
