Do you know how happy I was this morning to discover that happy mail does indeed come clear out to the little town of Maricopa. I got a little teary eyed to find 3 packages sitting on my front porch. All 3 were sent to me for different reasons. Heather made me this adorable Americana altered paint can just because she knew I've been going through a lot and could use some cheering up. I love it and will display it proudly.
Then I opened the box from Missy. She sent me a motorcycle chick Jolee's that I have never seen before, a cute little calendar, and some chocolate just to celebrate spring. How sweet is that?!
Then I opened a box from Amy. Inside was thin mint cookies (which I have already started eating...I couldn't help myself), and a beautifully wrapped package you would have thought a professional had wrapped. I of course had to take a picture before I tore into it. To my surprise she sent me that amazing chipboard pack she had talked about on her blog (that I did not win), a making memories letter "J" to alter, all nestled around my most favorite candy cane kisses! This package was for my birthday. All 3 of these sweet girls gave me cards with thoughtful messages inside. Now who could possibly have a bad day after all that? Not me! My day is going to be great. Getting ready to clean the kitchen with a smile on my face. Tonight I'm feeding dinner to our good friend Nick and his 3 boys, then I'm taking pictures of all of them with their dog so they can have some pictures before all his boys are off to college and missions. Wish me luck! Thank you so much sweet friends. Happy mail really does make you happy. Love you girls!
I really do plan to catch up with everyone. My site meter count has dropped since I've been so busy and I totally understand why. I know I've been a bad blogging buddy and promise to do better once I have essential things done to make everyday living around here a little easier. There is still so much to unpack. I will be posting pictures of my scraproom as soon as Mark mounts my TV on the wall. I really love this room.

Happy mail is the best to get! Hopefully, things will settle down for you and your family. Your in my prayers!

Don't you love the happy mail? I tell you, it always comes at the right time! Ohhhh...have you tried the coconut kisses? They are absolutely divine...
Awesome mail...love the chipboard, had it in my cart a few weeks ago and didn't buy it....should I? Does it have cool stuff in the pack? It is such a great deal, just not sure the quality. Enjoy your goodies!
What lovely friends you have and what gorgeous happy mail - wish we got that sort of mail over here ;o)
After all that you've been going through recently you more than deserve it. Hope things are improving day by day - unpacking all those boxes always seems to take longer than packing them! We'll still be around when you've finished unpacking so don't worry about the blogging =o). xx
Can't wait to see pictures when you are all done unpacking.
It's always nice to receive lovely little packages, great friends.
What nice mail and Amy is such a sweatheart! Glad the happy mail cheered you up! Can't wait to see more pictures :)
What beautiful, thoughtful gifts. I would have been thrilled as well. Hope the dinner was fun with all the boys!
Yay! I'm so glad you liked your gifts!
