Hello Friends,
We are still enjoying spring weather here, although it does drop down pretty cool at night, and we have been getting a bit of rain too-which keeps me from tackling all the leaves out there.
I am so enjoying my new computer, mostly because I can see colors etc. Larry is improving a little each day, and then he will have a set back-sigh. We decided he needs one of those tall toilets as he is not able to easily raise back up and get back into the wheelchair. I ordered that today. I have not heard back about my car so will call the repair shop tomorrow. I know they were backed up from the ice storm a couple weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I entered my friend Cathy's giveaway at Acorn Hollow-and I won-happy dance!! This was fun and even more fun to win-smiles. Years ago when I first started blogging-early 2000's, I held several giveaways and entered several too-so it was a surprise for me to see Cathy with a giveaway.I may have a giveaway sometime this year too. My box arrived in today's mail. I love every thing, the colors are all so me-a wonderful pick me up for my mental health for sure. I took a few photos to share.
Everything was inside this lovely basket-which will be perfect to use in my craft room. I am thinking this is a handmade item too.
I think my friend out did herself with her awesome giveaway-thank you again soooo much Cathy.
I am still using the camera I don't care for, and figuring out how to get better photos-these were taken one day last week-early morning just before sunrise
Happy new week everyone
Lucky you! Such lovely gifts
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteWow Kathy, that is a super win. I love that basket. It's great that it's soft too. And that clam shell surprised me. It's so pretty on the underside. I think you had some great happy mail. And I hope it stays warm for you. It's chilly here right now, but we have sun which is really nice for a switch, Have a great rest of your week Kathy. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, thank you this was a total surprise for sure-I am hoping it stays warm too, I need to get out and take a walk soon too Happy new week
DeleteKathy you made out like a bandit!!! Wow! I love those colors on the gloves and booties too! And that little shell is just too cute. Congratulations my friend!! So glad you won! Daughter has moved into her apartment but we are all still coughing and hacking around here.. Hubby finally came down with the respiratory bug so he's behind the rest of us.. We are all climbing the hill to recovery...uuughh.. Glad to hear Larry is making some progress even if there are setbacks.. Maybe Spring will be bright for him... With the kiddos not living here maybe i can get back to my snail mail.. Big Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThank you-Yes this was a very awesome packaged filled with wonderful items. so sorry you still fighting the 'bug" I have had a sore thoat for over a week now and just don't feel good-thinking it's drainage from allergies and this up and down weather-
DeleteI mailed out a couple letters last week-you should get one soon-hugs
Good news on the computer and Larry. I'm so glad you won Cathy's giveaway -- you've had a tough go and it couldn't go to a better home.
ReplyDeletethank you so much-this box of lovely items was a huge pick me up for sure hugs
DeleteI love happy mail. Glad you were blessed.

DeleteI knew you had won Cathy's giveaway. Congrats! Glad your computer is going good for you and that Larry is finally getting better. Janice
ReplyDeletethank you so much
DeleteWonderful sunrise pictures! so glad there is progress with Larry I do pray he doesn't have more set backs than progress. So very happy you liked the basket. The sea shell came from a Maine Beach and I decorated the inside.
ReplyDeleteCathy
wow Cathy I didn't know you decorated the shell-its lovely!! The therapist was out yesteray and she showed him an easier way in the bathroom plus the new toilet will be here a few days too will need to find someone to help with that
DeleteCongratulations on the win!
ReplyDeleteThat rope basket is pretty. It does look handmade. I've seen on a quilting show a woman sew one on a sewing machine.
Happy New Computer!
Life must be so much easier with a new machine.
I love the rope basket too wow interesting to make on a sewing machine. loving my new computer for sure happy mid week
DeleteHope Larry recovers fully soon.
ReplyDeleteYay for your happy mail!
I cannot do such. I once bought a teddybaer, worth euro 5 and sending it to Adelaide would've been euro 20!! Luckily Sami was here and took it to Perth -much cheaper then.
Love the shell especially! We're in a heat wave now, yippeee. Sending warmth to you and the lake,hugs
Our shipping costs keep more expensve here too. I love the shell we are getting a heat wave too-much nicer than snow and ice-hugs enjoy your vacation
DeleteAlways nice to receive happy mail and I love what was in yours :)
ReplyDeletePleased that you are enjoying your new computer, the choc-cookies look good and I enjoyed your sunrise photographs.
Sending lots of good wishes to you and Larry.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, yes this was a very happy box of gifts for sure-loved everythng. I love my new computer too the old one was really old and just not working well anywhere Have a good week
DeleteYour early morning photos with the "looming" sunrise are so beautiful, Kathy - I assume you feel very lucky to live in a place with that view. That is a very nice giveaway you received, I especially like the basket, so pretty. Wishing you a lovely weekend - Carola
