Snail Mail & Winning a Give-A-Way!!

Don't you just love snail mail?
I love sending it and of course, I adore receiving it! 
 
Cards, notes, small packages...with actual handwriting on them,
be still my heart...
 
I recently won a give-a-way at
 
Here's a peak at what Kim sent me...

 Orange Mint Soap, Spring Blossom Body Butter,
Citrus Lip Balm and Rose Lotion Bar
Heaven in a box for my dry, winter skin.
When I opened the package, it smelled like Spring in a box.
 
I will not be sharing it with Junior the squirrel.

This was in the box as well.
Thank you Kim, you have a heart as big as your farm.
Thank you for sharing it with me.
 
I hope you'll visit with Kim At My Field of Dreams
She lives on a farm, takes amazing pictures
and shares the best stories.
 
As for the products she sent, they are amazing.
I was determined to pick a favorite item, so it would be the body butter,
but everything is just wonderful.
I used the Body Butter on my hands yesterday,
I washed them at least 5 times during the day,
they were still fully moisturized and they smell so sweet!!
 
And for those who might be interested,
the products can be found and ordered at Bumble Wood Handmade.
Follow the link and check it out...great stuff!!
 
Thanks Kim, your the best!!

Last week, I also received this via snail mail...

A hand made winter cap to keep me toasty warm
during this frigid Jersey winter!
What a wonderful surprise!

Look at all those beautiful colors, hugging all that pretty purple.

This gorgeous hat was hand made just for me by
Buttons at Buttons Thoughts

Buttons also lives and works hard on a farm.
She tells amazing stories and shares beautiful pictures.
Please visit Buttons, she has become a dear friend as well.

Thanks Buttons, I will treasure this always!!

Beautiful gifts! Buttons has been knitting up a storm - I'm so happy to see one of her hats go to a sweet lady (it seems her cows have been fighting over wearing them)!

Dianna said...

Oh, how wonderful. I fell in love with that soap - just from your picture! I will definitely pay a visit to your two friends' blogs; I'm not familiar with either of them. Love the hat - you should share a picture of you wearing it!

Awesome mail. Yes, Snail-Mail is always a treat. It sounds like you are really enjoying the soap and that hat is cute. Do share a photo wearing it.

You certainly received some great gifts. I could use the butter cream for my hands in this cold weather.
The hat is adorable. I hope you will take a picture of yourself in that cute hat.
Also, thanks for the links to the other blogs; I will check them out.
Blessings to you dear friend.
