HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - HERE IS ANN'S VALENTINE'S DAY CARD SHE SENT ME LAST WEEK

 

Today I wanted to share Ann's latest card she sent out.  I also wanted to show Ann where I placed Mr. Gnome.  He's among some of my treasured photos and nicknacks, slapdab in the center for all to see when they walk into our family room. 

Thank you Ann, for not only making these beautiful cards but for sending them via regular mail. It is so nice to go outside to the mailbox and find one of these inside. Puts a happy step into the day.  

Ann makes her crafted cards and other seasonal items, and she also makes the prettiest decorated cakes, plus more. You can see what I mean if you go to this link. Her blog is "Ann's Snap Edit Scrap".

Thanks again Ann! You really made my day!

Thanks for visiting everyone, and enjoy your Sunday, you too Ann. I hope you all have a great day and week ahead.

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.

SOMETHING SPECIAL POPPED INTO THE MAILBOX TODAY

This was waiting for me when I got home. 

Thank you so much Ann!A lovely treat indeed!Snail mail surprises should be recognized as the treasures they are...and photos do not do this pretty Halloween card justice.  It is in pride of place on the mantle.

Many of us know Ann for the kind-hearted, creative and talented lady she is.  If you haven't met her yet, you can visit and say hi at her website below.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

I borrowed this saying from my blogging friend Cloudia.  You can read it on her post at this link and see all her amazing photos and other wise words.  Thanks Cloudia!

My 'art' today is one of the coasters given to me as part of a gift from my son and daughter-in-law.  I placed the coaster on one of the kitchen table placemats, took a photo and turned that photo into art with the ArtCard I have on my iPad.  I have been sharing a lot of these on my blog lately.  I enjoy this app and all its different effects very much.  As the novelty wears off, I daresay so will my photos turned into art, but in the meantime...!

LOOK WHAT WAS ON OUR DOORSTEP....

two days ago.  Gregg check outside and there it was, and from someone who left no name.  We were very touched by such a kind gift.  Who would have thought that only a couple of weeks ago, we would have been so heart-warmed by being given two rolls of toilet paper and that sweet note.

"Happy Social Distance!  

Here are some supplies to brighten your day. 

Sharing Neighborly Goodwill." 

Such a sweet gesture!  Frankly, it made our day.

I hope you have plenty of supplies in your house.

Thanks for looking and whatever you are doing, I hope it is keeping you safe.

A THANK YOU TO KAREN AT KAHOLLY, QUILTY PLEASURES AND NATURE'S TREASURES

Just before I went on vacation I received the most delightful gift from Karen at Kaholly.  It was a wallet that I am using for my ID's and credit cards.  I love everything about it, from the pattern, to the shape to the obvious usefulness of such a thoughtful gift.  Thank you Karen!  It went all over Hawaii with me and is now making its way around Virginia, and everyone I show it to thinks it is such a clever way of carrying all my cards and keeping them together.
