in my post-box...

for my birthday I went a hunting for a special little something (to spend some birthday money I received from family)...and I love supporting friends who create...especially someone like Andrea who "creates" such little treasure which are practical too.
recently...she started sewing these beautiful Tea purses...I am a Tea lover and so this was perfect.
The fabric is beautiful and it fits wonderfully in my purse...I put all those little goodies in it like lip-gloss,safety pins...band-aids etc...
Thanks Andrea!

Enjoy your Sunday...we're off to the park to practice on the girl's 2 wheel bikes :-)
What are you up to today??

Good OLD FASHIONED Post.

good old fashioned POST...or "Mail" for all the N.Americans reading this out there. I did it as a kid...did you?

this trip over to the Uk was wonderful for our girls as they started to make real connections with their cousins and my friends little ones. They would comment on how far away Christmas was...and they wouldn't see eachother until then, and this upset them...SO...we decided we would ask them all to become their PEN-PALS...

everyone loves receiving mail and so today we spent 3 hours this afternoon putting packages together. I added a few little dolls and the girls added stickers and cards.

oh, that's the belly button Monster which little Miss A wanted me to draw on the girl's T-Shirt.

FUN surprises to come in our Mail box...YAY for snail mail....REAL POST!

Have a great weekend...

Oh, JUST quickly before you go...so I delivered the portraits today...not the reaction I was expecting. I really am NOT sure if the commissioner(mum of the kids) actually liked them? She never said "I really Like them" or "They're just what I wanted" or "WOW" or "you've done a wonderful job"...ALL SHE DID WAS ask her kids "what do you think?"

baffled I am...yes...baffled....BUT, she paid...so should I give a &*R&$*&?
