It's so thrilling...
I love receiving a card, a letter to read, or surprise trinkets I can hold in my hands and admire.
With so many ways to communicate with people now,
little mail comes to the mailbox except bills, I rarely receive any "fun" mail.
So when I do, I really jump for joy.
A long while back, I posted about sending away for spoons, for myself, so I would receive mail.
I was a just a young girl, and still remember the excitement I felt when my spoons arrived.
It's a cute story, if you are interested you can read about it at
Now...mail is just not as exciting,
I rarely get anything fun and I never send away for anything so I will get mail...
this past week the post person brought me a several really nice surprises.
My knitting/crocheting friends Leanne and Liz have a podcast,
I signed up as a Patreon to support them and I gained so much more...
friendship and fun!
We get together over zoom, we chat, we knit, we help each other
and we laugh a lot.
After one year of membership, you get a thank you gift,
this was their way of saying thank you.
Liz made the butterfly bag and it is gorgeous and perfect for me.
She said she thought of me as soon as she saw the fabric.
There were so many wonderful items included in this thank-you "bag".
- journal & pen-
- stitch markers -
- a set of needle caps -
- hand dyed yarn -
- a ceramic butterfly -
- tea -
and of course, the gorgeous, handmade project bag.
I received this beautiful card in the mail from my blogging friend Connie at
Thanks so much for the warm wishes.
and he makes sure I get one for every holiday.
I have saved every card he ever bought me,
I even have the ones he sent to me when I was in Nursing School.
- 50 years of cards -
My youngest son Michael is the sameway, I get 2 cards for every birthday.
One sweet and mushy...the other funny!
- Many thanks to Liz, Leanne and Connie -

Hello,
What a lovely thank you gift from your club.
The butterfly bag is lovely. The yarn is the perfect color for you, shades of purple. I like the cute little butterfly and the journal.
Pretty cards from your friend and your hubby!
Take care, have a great day and a wonderful week ahead.
So glad you loved your package! It was fun to put it together for you. xoxoxo
It is fun to get mail or a package. What a nice surprise from your club!! Enjoy
Snail mail is the best alright. Especially parcels!
Great thank you gift for being a Patreon! As for hubby and son, if Mrs. F.G. knew about them I'd be in trouble!
What a fabulous thank you gift! I'm sure you were over the moon -- who wouldn't be! I save every card of Rick's too. I love "real" mail. Most of it is either junky stuff or in a window envelope these days!
It is nice to get 'snail' mail. Something tangible. I have a trunk full of letters. My grandma and I used to write to each other every Sunday. I miss her so.
Gone are the days of snail mail. I only got one Christmas card this year. That made me sad. My sweet sister-in-law sends me a birthday card every year.
Oh what a great surprise to get all those goodies from the girls, I do love that bag it was perfect for you :) I am glad you liked the card I sent and the card your hubby gave you looks so sweet, it is nice to know how appreciative others are of each other :)
You have the best friends! What is life without friends??? And I love that you are a keeper of memories.....
I too love getting and sending letters and cards. Still write letters and notes to friends and family. But the mail system has certainly slowed down lately. Sometimes my mail doesn't get where it's going for weeks... strange. May have something to do with not having enough postal employees these days? Cutbacks??
That is a very special week with all the snail mails, and your hubby's card is so sweet.
