WHAT GENEROUS BLOGGERS

Now I know there are many wonderful people in this world but I have to say that some of nicest and kind hearted people I've ever met have been my blog friends.

Have you ever had one of those down days and then the mail comes and in the hands of the mailman is a package for you? For some reason a package just perks you right up.

Well that happened to me. Only the mailman had three packages! Wow!

I had no idea what they could be because I wasn't expecting anything.
The first one I opened up came from Susan at The Little Yellow House. You can find her blog here:

I could not believe how cute everything was. First there was a cute little package that holds tea. The material is so sweet. Then there was silver tongs for sugar. There is even a cute little heart shaped sugar in there. Plus, a pretty pink rose tea mug.

Thank you so much Susan! You are such a dear! I love everything. I'll be using everything real soon.
The next package I opened up came from Kim at Kim Hardt Originals and A Glittered Halloween. You can find her fun blogs here:

Kim sent me some lovely plates, platters and two big tassel tie backs.

How kind you are Kim! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I adore all of them. I can't wait to use them.

Then the last box I opened came from Kelli at Vintage Vavoom. I won her giveaway! You can find Kelli's blog here:

I won there darling little vases. One says, Live. One says Love and the other one says Laugh. Great words to live by. Then a nice jar of pink sugar! Great for those cookies I'm going to make! Last but not least is a pretty pink diamond. Now that is perfect for my office!

Thanks Kelli. I never thought I would really win your great give away. Everything is perfect for me.

So thank you, thank you, thank you to all you wonderful blog friends. I have been really blessed to meet so many super women. You all made my day!

Hugs,

Joanne

Oh, you spoiled woman.

It's exciting to get packages. Even my dogs get excited for me when I get packages, well not really for me, they just like barking at the mail carrier.

You received some great things.
