There was another mail delivery last week. Yes, I’m such a lucky girl!!
This package came from Lisa, THE Lisa from Lisa’s Chaos, yes!
I had joined the ornament swap at her blog and packed mine in my suitcase to give her when we met in Chicago. I remember how thrilled I was to be able to meet her in real life. We spent a lovely afternoon taking pictures at the Botanical Garden in Chicago. I hope I will be able to show her my favorite places on my side of the world someday. Until I do I have loads of pictures as a memento of that meeting.
AND … the package of course!
Are you as excited as I was to open it and see what’s inside?
Here we go …
Tataaaaaaaaaaa!
The package also contained a hand made card with a lovely blessing. Awww!
Yes Lisa, my holidays WERE definitely decorated with happiness!
Look, it’s a cook!
Isn’t she precious?
I LOVE her, THANK YOU Lisa!!!
