It's so thrilling...
I love receiving a card, a letter to read, or surprise trinkets I can hold in my hands and admire.
With so many ways to communicate with people now,
little mail comes to the mailbox except bills, I rarely receive any "fun" mail.
So when I do, I really jump for joy.
A long while back, I posted about sending away for spoons, for myself, so I would receive mail.
I was a just a young girl, and still remember the excitement I felt when my spoons arrived.
It's a cute story, if you are interested you can read about it at
Now...mail is just not as exciting,
I rarely get anything fun and I never send away for anything so I will get mail...
this past week the post person brought me a several really nice surprises.
My knitting/crocheting friends Leanne and Liz have a podcast,
I signed up as a Patreon to support them and I gained so much more...
friendship and fun!
We get together over zoom, we chat, we knit, we help each other
and we laugh a lot.
After one year of membership, you get a thank you gift,
this was their way of saying thank you.
Liz made the butterfly bag and it is gorgeous and perfect for me.
She said she thought of me as soon as she saw the fabric.
There were so many wonderful items included in this thank-you "bag".
- journal & pen-
- stitch markers -
- a set of needle caps -
- hand dyed yarn -
- a ceramic butterfly -
- tea -
and of course, the gorgeous, handmade project bag.
I received this beautiful card in the mail from my blogging friend Connie at
Thanks so much for the warm wishes.
and he makes sure I get one for every holiday.
I have saved every card he ever bought me,
I even have the ones he sent to me when I was in Nursing School.
- 50 years of cards -
My youngest son Michael is the sameway, I get 2 cards for every birthday.
One sweet and mushy...the other funny!
- Many thanks to Liz, Leanne and Connie -
