In the midst of all the cake baking today I managed to run a few errands in the snow. I ordered a couple of books that I have been meaning to buy. As I was returning home I could see the postal woman walking up my steps. I got a little excited. As I pulled up to the stop sign, I saw her knock on my door... I got even more excited... I couldn't wait to park and get back inside to see what had arrived. Turns out there were 2 packages of interest, addressed to me. Yay! I love getting mail, it makes me smile, even if it's just a simple Hello, it still means somebody was thinking about me, and that makes me smile. Anyhow...

| how old are these stamps? |

inside...
 |
| this little angel was wrapped in tissue paper |
|
atatched to the angel was this...
 |
| the back of the card simply states 'MADE FOR YOU BY MAGGIE2' with a butterfly stamped beside it |
|
This was all that was inside the card. Now, I am left to assume that the angel was sent from Joanne Diamond, the only thing is... I do not know a Joanne Diamond. And if I actually do, I am sorry, I am scattered brained. It happens to the best of us I suppose. So Joanne Diamond... thank you. You put a smile (and a look of puzzlement) on my face. If you would like to know more about Angels for Hope...go

And then D hands me a small package... the one I had been anxiously awaiting... I felt like a little girl as I unwrapped the tissue paper that was tied up neatly with a yellow and silver bow. At first glance...it gleamed...

| you can actually feel all the warmth and compassion as you hold this little treasure in your hand |

This is the wonderful gift that was bestowed upon me during the pay it forward give-aways that the lovely Dana hosted for the holidays. If you are not familiar with her work, you MUST click
here. I must also mention that my name was drawn (from many) on Sebastion's due date. A bit magical how things work out really.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I really plan on placing a custom order in the future so that we can have a sculpture of the entire family... I think that would be lovely. In the meantime, I will bask in it's glory.
I filled out an Angel of Hope form for you :) I filled it out awhile ago actually.
ReplyDeleteI did put yes when they asked if I wanted you to know it was requested by me. SO maybe someone else requested one for you as well? I don't know but I am happy you got the angel!
Awww. Thank you Trena! I think maybe packages were mixed up. The Envelope that I received was originally addressed to a Jill MacN...something. There is a sticker over here name and then my name written on top... maybe some other random person received an angel from Trena:) Funny when you think about it. I kept wondering how someone I didn't know would know my address.
ReplyDeleteHaha :) That is probably what happened and there is a person out there thinking, "Who is Trena?" LOL. Oh well, all that matters is that you and this Jill person got your angels ♥ I am so happy you got it and it is so pretty! ♥ Sebastion ♥
ReplyDeleteOh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your sculpture! She is just an amazing artist.
