A LOVELY SURPRISE IN THE MAIL BOX

 A card arrived from Ann at Ann's Snap Edit Scrap a few days ago.  She creates the prettiest, most professional looking cards, and this latest one put another big smile on my face.  

Thank you so much Ann!  

I placed it on a favorite teddy, and it feels right at home.

It truly is a wonderful gift to get something like this in the letterbox.

  3. She sends them to me, too. And I agree. She is using her talent to make people happy. And she makes such awesome cards! What an adorable idea to have Teddy holding it!! She reminds me of a 50's schoolgirl.

    1. That's lovely, Ann spreads the joy :) Her card seemed to fit with Teddy. I have my bears still out and will putting them away soon, but she could be a 50s schoolgirl. The clothes are what drew me to her originally.

  12. getting mail that isn't a bill or a scam is a bonus in my books. Shame the price of postage is getting higher and higher! Or at least it is in Canada

  16. The card from Ann was very nice to receive, Denise. Getting actual mail is always so nice and even though the cost of US postage is going up next week, I will still continue to send out cards for birthdays and holidays. I also have a couple of people who I exchange snail-mail with on a regular basis.
