Surprise Package

Last week I wrote to a blogging friend to ask her about the camera straps she makes. I wanted to buy one from her as my trip for Alt Summit is approaching rather quickly. My camera needed to look especially nice and what can be better than when someone you know makes really beautiful things.
She immediately replied saying that she had a package coming my way, as a thank you for a post I made for her. WOW! Serendipity? Synchronicity? I say, Yayyy!
Jillian: Thank you so much, for such cool, colorful and very useful goodies. I'm going to send you a thank you package for this one!!

And I got two camera straps, which one do you think I'll take to Alt??

Have a great day!

Surprise Packages!

Sometimes weeks or even months go by before anything amazing drops on my mailbox. Sometimes, very unusually they arrive the same week!
I love snail mail. I love it since... I can't even remember! I love everything that comes with a written letter, a post card, and well, when someone takes the time to send a package with such love and attention, then I'm left as if someone had given me the greatest hug of all.

Thank you Puk for such a wonderful surprise, you have left me with my mouth wide open! Everything was simply beautiful and perfect!

Thank you Mami for my pot holders (now I have 3 instead of zero!!), and just in time for Thanksgiving!
Have you received any wonderful packages (or even nice letters) lately?? Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you open the mailbox and in it lies a very peculiar sort of envelope that you immediately know, this is not a bill?

Have a great Weekend!

Arriving Early - Care packages

It could happen: Arriving early at a party (not in my experience), flights that arrive before their scheduled time  (rarely happens), babies that decide, "Hey let's surprise these people!"(happened once out of the two), a "couple" of white hairs that make a sudden appearance (did happen, still happens), or a much welcome early spring or summer. This list could go on with things that would be nice to see arriving early or that could've waited a bit longer to arrive. Here is one of my favorite things to get and appreciate when it arrives earlier rather than later; PACKAGES!! So this week not only did I receive one, but two very lovely packages from the two thoughtful and wonderful ladies in my life!!!

HAPPY early MOTHER'S DAY!!
