IT ARRIVED!!!

okay so the may basket arrived safe and sound to kathy! i'm so glad, because there was a dish in there that was fragile! i also received a wonderful email from her today with a huge THANKS!!! i was so happy to hear that she liked it. with everything that i was working on i guess i left my mind somewhere. while i was shopping for fun things to put in her basket i had stuck in my head that she collected "birds". ya no! i went to retrieve her address in my email and reread it and realized that she collected "flowers"! like i said i think i left my mind somewhere! so i was happy to know that she enjoyed it!

so these are the pictures i took in full size. if you go over to her blog she's got some pictures that she took after receiving it today. the smaller treasures are in her photos!

i had so much fun doing this! thanks so much kim kwan for getting me hooked onto marilyn healy's blog. that is where i first heard of the may basket swap being done at artsymama's. which is just so

funny, because when i did the shimmele class in december i remember looking at artsymama's blog and watching her create her christmas book. small world this community! it's been so much fun! i've also found some fun new places to read up on!

i've had a gr8 experience with this! i'm so glad i decided to jump in and just go for it! now aliya and i are waiting for the package to arrive from kathy! aliya has been so excited about this and even carried the package into the post office when we mailed it. she thought it was pretty interesting that we would be sending fun things like that to someone we didn't even know! she should be really excited when we receive something from someone we don't know!

so while i'm here i'll update ya on things around here! aliya, kelsey, and i met colleen, sherry, and michelle and jenna for lunch at sweet cakes. then we had a little bit of retail therapy at the local antique stores! it was so fun to hang with my girls and friends! wonderful relaxing day!
