A Sweet Surprise


Lookie what I found waiting for me on my step this morning!! 
Cody & I had ran to McDonald's for some breakfast (yummy!) & when we got back a big ol box was on my step! I thought it was from a swap I'm doing right now but nope ~ it was from Linda!!  Look at all the goodies she got inside of this box ~ I've never seen anyone who can pack like her! :O)

some wonderful fabric boxes, a basket, some labels, a sweet peppermint candle, a very nice ditty bag & some really cute mini ornaments :O)

a very cute apple stool

some recipe cards, cookie cutters, a pancake maker shaped like a shamrock (the kid was impressed with this!), a candle, a candle ring, some sweet lil hearts, a twig ball & my sweet lil pin keep
(I don't have any of the cookie cutters she sent me! yea! I've been thinking about some salt dough bowl fillers the last few days ~ maybe I'll get crackin now!)

Code had to help open up my box :) ~ he thought we had gotten another "sample" in the mail (we got a mini box of Cheerios the other day & you'd thought he got a new toy he was so amused!)

Look at these beautiful fabric boxes ~ they look perfect on my new shelf in my bedroom ~ just what I needed there! (I'm "stuck" on the finishing details ~ hopefully I can finish up this weekend tho & share w/you guys)

I love this darling pin keep ~ so very cute! Cody liked it too ~ he tried to talk me out of it ~ said the "jewel" on the front would make "cool treasure" lol
a perfectly prim basket


"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."
Linda ~ thank you again! You are truly a sweet, sweet person.  You brightened my day! I've been feeling kinda blah & uninspired again & you really made me smile.  Thank you so much for being my blogging friend!

I I hope to be a better blogger & post more next week.  Till then I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Didn't realize the box would be posted. I'd have covered it with brown paper! I'm not very good at wrapping but I keep packing until the box is full! LOL
I am glad to hear you like the things I gathered for you. It was fun. I love to make people smile.
