Great Things in the Mail!

Here's Oreo

wishing you a happy day!

She's actually one of our

two barn cats that comes

in to sew with me from time to time.

She's found a happy place

in one of my scrap baskets.

Gotta love her!

Do you love a great story?

I do!

So here's mine...

I was looking in Flickr for some inspiration

and can across this very talented gal

who's Flickr name is Chloeandme.

You can view her photo stream

here

I loved her work so much that I sent her a Flickr message.

I honestly did feel like kind of a stalker,

but now that you've taken a peak at her work,

can you blame me?

She's amazing!

Well...not only is she amazing,

she's sweet as all get-out.

Through our conversations she

asked if I would be interested in a private swap.

Who? Me? Swap with you?

Heck yeah!!!

So....check out the package I received:

Is this not one of the CUTEST pouches you've ever seen??

Here's a close up of the work I love SOOO much

Seriously...

how amazing is this??

Look at all the detail.

She totally puts me to shame.

Receiving this package in the mail

was just as exciting as winning the lottery!

Not that I know what that feels like,

but I bet it feels just like what I felt when I

tore open the package like a little kid at Christmas!

And she also sent me these awesome scraps.

I am still in awe.

And I just feel so blessed!

I cannot believe the incredibly

talented, sweet, beautiful people I have met

through blogging and groups in Flickr.

Every single day

I get more inspired

to try new things,

or perfect what I know I can do.

It's just amazing!

I am just sending off her package today,

so I will post pictures of that after I know she's received it.

Let's just say

that I don't hold a candle to her talents,

but I tried!

:o)

OH!!  And I just realized April 1st

came and went and I didn't post my weight loss update!

March was a pretty good month.!

My total overall weight loss

is now

21 lbs.

SWEET!!!

I hope you find lots to be thankful for today!

xoxo
