ASTOUNDED BY GENEROSITY!

I came to blogland a little over 2 months ago. I didn't know what to expect....I guess I really didn't have too many expectations at all. I figured I'd write something down once or twice a week, my family would read it and pat me on the head....and that would be that. Who knew! I had no idea that so many amazing people would come along , and share their lives, ideas, and passions. This has been such an incredible learning experience for me. I want everyone who visits here and leaves wonderful comments to know how very humbled and grateful I am. You all bring smiles to my face and joy to my heart.

And the one thing that I find so unreal, is the generosity of the people I've met here. People with such HUGE hearts, that I wonder how they even fit them inside their wee bodies! I want to introduce you all to one of those talented, generous people. Her name is Cheryl and she blogs at "Blueberry buttons". I've been going to her blog for awhile now...I don't even remember how I found her...or she found me. Who cares...I'm glad we did. She is a wonderful lady and I enjoy my visits with her!

And Cheryl...I just have to say I'm BLOWN AWAY by your thoughtful gift. I got home from work last night and I found a package on my doorstep! This wasn't a gift swap, or a "pass it on" this was a gift...just because. I get choked up just typing that...."just because" . Some people are so thoughtful.

Inside was this adorable card...that said "thank you". Thank you for what I thought? I didn't do anything!

And then I read the inside........

Thank you for making my day. I guess for some reason my stupid posts just make Cheryl smile. How cool is that. And how sweet that she would send something to express her thanks. Again...I'm BLOWN AWAY!

There was this adorable framed picture...I love flowers...and check out what it says! Thank you so much Cheryl. I LOVE IT!

And if that wasn't more than enough....there were these.


Now Cheryl makes these Home made all natural dog treats herself. YEAH...can you believe it! She bakes dog cookies!

So I had to give one to the boys.....

Well you can see what the boys thought about their gift Cheryl. Can I just tell you that Crumpet is pretty persnickety about the things he'll eat. And I thought he was gonna take my fingers off when I held up the first treat. They smell so good....(heck I was tempted myself lol) They snarfed these treats down like there was no tomorrow! If you love your puppies...and you want to see there waggely butts go a mile a minute....go over to "4 pampered paws" and check these out. Your furbabies will be oh so glad you did!

I can't thank you enough Cheryl. You made my heart get all warm and fuzzy and I feel so overwhelmed!

I also got another package the same night. BONUS! I've tried to resist these....time and again I really really have. But I finally couldn't take the temptation any more and I had to order some of those gorgeous note cards from Fifi Flowers.
They are even more gorgeous in person. I am so thrilled with everything. I fell in love with her bicycle series and had to have them. But they are waaaaay to pretty to actually use. I'm gonna have no choice but to frame them!

I also ordered a book mark...as much as I read...I deserve an O-SO-CLASSY bookmark right! Well not only did she send me the one I ordered. But she sent me another one as a special gift! What a woman! I love it so much Fifi. Thank you thank you!

If you haven't visited her or seen her paintings...you're missing out on something very special. Go...GO NOW!
