Boy it's going to be a good day today!! The mail lady brought me my Friendship swap package from Ronda over at http://simplthymeprims.blogspot.com/ & I am soooo AMUSED!!
Just look at all these goodies Ronda sent me!
She sent me some wool, a punch needle book, punch needle kit, punch needle pattern, some samples of the Zija health products she sells (which I'm drinking right now! It's actually pretty good! ), a couple adorable pads of paper ( I really needed these - I needed one for the fridge so maybe I won't lose my grocery list so often!), & 2 of the most adorable bugs I have ever seen!
Just look at the punch needle book ~ punch needle kit ~ & the super cute pattern she sent...I can't wait to sit down & read the book to figure out what to do! I had mentioned to Ronda that I loved her punch needle work & would love to learn how to actually do it some day & she was so sweet & sent me all the things I need to get started!
Here's where my bugs "landed"! I just LOVE them!
here's a close up of the bee
a close up of the ladybug
They are both so prim-tastic! Just look @ the antenna & wings! She puts so much detail into her work!
She also sent me an AWESOME pin keep - it's my first & I don't think I'll be able to actually put any pins in it because I love it so much! Think I'm going to leave it on the shelf in my kitchen ~it looks good there! :O)
Thank you so much Ronda for all the great gifts! I've had so much fun doing this swap ~ it was my first & thank you for being such a great swap partner & making it such a great experience!
If you haven't been by Ronda's blog ~ please stop over & see her. She makes such beautiful things. Also her new grandbaby Karter was born @ only 27 weeks & could use all the prayers he can get. She said he's doing great ~ that he's a tough lil guy, which is great. I hope he continues to be "tough" & grow & get to go home as soon as he can. My prayers are with Karter & all of Ronda's family.
Oh & thank you to Tricia over @ Hillcrest Home Prims for hosting the swap!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I was trying to paint my kitchen table when the mail lady arrived so I'm heading back to it! I'll hopefully have some pics of it for you in a few days!

Rachel,
I am so glad you enjoyed your swap package, it was fun putting it together for you and getting to know you. I enjoy helping others learn to do new things, punch needle is so enjoyable, I also forgot to mention there are tons of YouTube videos to help you along as well, maybe even some from the lady who authored the book I sent you.
I can't express how much it means to me that Karter continues to receive so many prayers and kind words from so many people. I know he hears you all...and I'm sure it gives him strength, I know it does me.
Have a great day Rachel, I have so enjoyed meeting you and thank you for making this swap so much fun.
Blessings,
Ronda...
Don't forget I'm here if you need help!!
