Finally, the Easter Swap Goodies Arrived!

Sometimes mail really does move at a snail like pace - it surely did this time, it took over two weeks for my Easter swap package to travel from Texas to Ontario - it seems just a little bit long to me!!  This was the second swap I signed up for this Easter, actually, it is my second swap ever, it's so much fun, I'll definitely sign up for another one... 

Thanks to Sue from It's a Very Cherry World for hosting this swap - I know it must be a lot of work to organize and pair every one up.  Sue paired me up with Jeannie from I Craft.  Jeannie loves crafting, she makes some really cute things, she was very generous in her package - some lovely things came my way....

Isn't this the sweetest little Easter basket - a bunny and two chicks, what could be cuter?

Love that furry little white chick!  See the tag - I should be able to whip one of those up!

Some crafting goodies

Topped off with a cute little cupcake card!

Thanks, so much, Jeannie - I know you were worried about the package -it made the long journey and all in one piece!!  Nice to meet you!

Easter and Yes, Christmas

I've sure had a run of fun mail lately, it used to be I got letters often, but those days are long gone, so any time there is anything in the box besides bills and flyers, it's good. It's especially nice when it comes from blogging friends.  

When Ericaof Thrifting Sisters fame wrote me and said she found something at an estate sale that made her think of me, I had no idea what it could be.  It arrived last week - and here it is.....  

It's an Annalee Santa - I discovered these Annalee figures last fall when we were coming home through New England.  I saw some old ones first at an antique shop, I didn't really look closely at them, sure wishing I would have, then the next day I was at a Home Goods store and there were shelves of them - Halloween and Christmas - I blogged about them here.   A Santa and a cute card - that's great mail, in my mind!  Thanks so much!

Only thing, now I have to pack him away until Christmas!

Holly is keeping me in bunting - she makes them herself - she sent me one a few weeks ago and now I have another one of her creations.  I am so lucky to have met such thoughtful people through my blog, I appreciate everyone that reads my posts, I almost always have a small response for you, if you are not a no comment blogger!  In the past few days, some new people have started to follow me - thank you so much!

Happy Easter from Holly..

She also sent me a couple of Little Golden Books for Easter - I didn't have these titles when I was little and my children didn't either...

This one is already in position, the illustrations are so cute, in both of the books.

Why are bunnies always the sweetest?

I have a few reds this week so I'm linking up with Rednesday.
