A Goodie Box From Abbie

A package in the mail, for me, for me! Yippee! Don't you love it when you go to the mailbox and get a surprise package? Or any package for that matter! Actually, I like it when I open my front door and see the package on my bench and not down by my mailbox. I have a steep driveway, and the delivery gal that day is SO LAZY! Heaven forbid she should have to get out of her mail truck and DELIVER a package. Luckily I was home to get Abbie's package out of the street. Gee, did anyone hear about the high winds in Tennessee? The winds that dropped a limb from my neighbor's dead tree and landed on my husband's now smashed car. I can't complain. I pray that God will be with those with great lose during this time. And the mail lady, well, she got a very dirty look from me. I wonder if she would have even picked it up out of the street if I hadn't of been there? Only if she could pull right up to it and lean over to grab it because her butt is super glued to the seat.

Sorry, I just had to get that off of my chest. Isn't that one thing blogs are for? Just don't disrespect my packages, especially those from Abbie!

So, my girls and I sat on the floor to check out the goods! I was SO excited and so were they!

Abbie always pays so much attention to every little detail. I just now unwrapped my goodie from her that I won some time ago. I love to just look at her packages! Her blog is great as well!

Oh my, look at all of that!

Too, Too thoughtful! Look at my goodies!

I LOVE this lace. It is gorgeous and such a generous width!



Abbie has the best seam binding. I hope she starts listing things in her Etsy shop again, hint, hint, hint! I love these spools! It will be my new obsession.



Okay, this is just SO awesome. This isn't a new copy of a map. This is a real page FROM AN OLD BOOK! Just for me, just for me.....


LOOK! It's the Eiffel Tower! Right there on my map!

I was in need of more of this beautiful black treat that I used on my Paris banner. And look how beautifully it is wrapped! Is it any wonder that Abbie has such a beautiful home?

I even love the tissue! "Girls, don't step on the tissue, don't hurt it". I will be using this in some type of altered art!


Look at all of my beautiful goodies. Great timing for a great surprise, after being stuck in my home, while my husband has my car.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ABBIE! YOU ARE SO THOUGHTFUL, GENEROUS, WONDERFUL, AND I LOVE ALL OF THE NICE COMMENTS YOU LEAVE FOR ME ON MY BLOG.

Now it's my turn ... stay tuned!

Abbie definitely sent you a Valentie Love package!! With all the things you love no less -- I laughed at "don't hurt the tissue" -- I'm with you Rhonda -- it's too pretty to waste and I know you will find some "perfect" project for it!!
