One of my blog friends reached beyond my email in box and sent something to my snail mail box. Last week I came home from work and found a box sticking out of my mail box. My first thought was that Wade must have ordered something for Christmas. Was I surprised when I saw that it was addressed to me. I didn't recognize the return address though.
I hurried inside to open it up and see just what it could be.
My sweet friend Marie at Spun by me sent me this.
Now how sweet is that. It just made my day. I went through the whole thing and found so many neat little designs. My plan is to try each one and do a weekly post showing the ones that I've completed. I probably shouldn't tell you about the plan because more often than not I don't follow through with most of my plans for my blog. But I'm sure going to give it my best effort.
So thank you again Marie. I just loved it.
And the rest of you, thanks for stopping by and seeing me every day. I just love ya all

Great gift!!!
What a great gift for such a nice person. I laughed at the little piggy on the cover.This is a good friend to have along with your community of blogger friends.
Sandee yes it was and I know I will.
Christie they sure are. wonderful surprise to come home to
beebeebabs, I thought so too
out on the prairie aw, you're all good friends to me. You guys just make my day. The pig is cute and so many others that are too
How fun! I am looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations that I know you will make! :)
xo Catherine
That will be a lot of fun to see. I've only done a little quilling, but I liked it. I'll look forward to the projects, whenever they appear!
A bonus Christmas Gift..hard to be that..:)
That was very thoughtful and a very nice surprise! Can't wait to see what you make!
Hugs to Duke!
I love that. :) Aren't bloggers the BEST??!
I look here and I see the same gang that visits me, visits you as well, and I count them as the best pallies EVER. Not a day goes by that you all don't make me smile too.
I had some great experiences this Christmas with the pallies and I count myself lucky to be a part of such a great group. YOU included!
What a wonderful gift! Marie is a very special blog friend, indeed! I am just crzy about that little pig, the designs are really, really cute!!!
It seems I shall benefit from the present you received because I just love the quilling work you do - can't wait to see what you come up with...
What a nice surprise! I have seen one of these in the shops but it was a few years ago now ... I hope that you enjoy it and look forward to seeing your ventures. I am sure you'll have one little friend eyeing up your every move with this too - yes Duke strikes me as a most inquisitive little companion. :)
Well, I didn't realize that you would accept such as a form of a bribe, and we've got a house (and then some) filled to the rafters with "stuff" (and related items)! So, get ready, you're fixing to get dumped on (I actually mean be impressed). Now, where did I put your address...
It's a really nice gift, and we all will enjoy the new creations. Can't wait to see them!
That sure was nice of Marie...the fact that she recycled something so well is great...if there were more people like this in the world there would be less rubbish!!
I am a huge recycling fan and it is nice when you can recycle things this way rather than just crushing them!!
That was a great surprise. I love finding unexpected things in the mail box.Even better is the knock on the door and finding a big present that wouldn't fit in the mail box.Enjoy it and we are looking forward to see what you create.
What a kind and thoughtful surprise! Of course you have to know that now I'm wondering if there might be any horse patterns hiding inside that box of goodies :o)
Have a hug!
you are so right, i LOVE finding my email full of blog comments and I love commenting on others and i love blogging and the friends we share with. can't wait to see what you make with your present.
Ahhhh! What a Sweet Lady!! She knows how to tempt you!!Hahaa
Can't wait to see all the new designs!!! Hope you are feeling lots better!!
hughugs
How fun is that!! Have you ever "quilled" a westie? On a card or anything? I can't remember....
Awesome, can't wait to see what creations you make
cahterine I can't wait to get started with them. No excuse for being bored this winter
sharkybtes I'm still pretty new to it but I've been enjoying it and there's so many things you can do with it
livintheblues who doesn't love a bonus
beaded tail it sure was, it made my day
Lin bloggers are the best. It's almost like high school sometimes where all the same people hang out together...lol I'm with you, I feel very lucky.
Ginny there are some really cute designs in this, I was impressed with them
Grace why yes you will. I can't wait to settle in with it and have some fun

Fishhawk I forgot to tell you I moved, let me give you the NEW address :)
Josep yes it is and I will be sharing...lol

Russ oh yes, love the knock on the door surprise...lol I don't get those very often
Jen yes it was. I'll check through and see and you'll be the first to know if i find a horse

donna very sweet. She's very crafty herself and she's always inspiring me with the things she makes
DSS never quilled a westie but one of these days I am going to figure one out
country mouse studio totally awesome
Ann we wouldn't stop by if we weren't crazy about your blog. It is tons of fun to visit you. That was so nice of your friend to send you that crafty stuff. I amazed everyday how wonderful the blogging world is. Bloggers are just the best people and most supportive people there are. We love all our bloggie friends too.
Take care and enjoy your new stuff.
That was so sweet of her!! It's always exciting when I get something in the mail!
I can't wait to see all the posts about the projects you make with this calendar! I knew your home was the perfect home for it!
Enjoy it and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
That is so sweet! See you are really loved by all of your blog friends. I have to say that I love everything on the cover. I can't wait to see your projects. I'm sure they will be as wonderful.
