GOOD MAIL DAY!

The days when you get one piece of HAPPY MAIL are pretty exciting, I'm sure you'll all agree...but the days when you get not one, not two, but THREE pieces are very exciting!


When I went to the postbox yesterday, there were not only two envelopes containing two 'Thank You' cards




but also the slip of paper to inform me that a package was waiting for me at our village Post Office, which some of you may remember is open for all of one hour a day! Off I trotted at the allotted time..well, actually I drove, as it was 100 degrees at the time!....knowing I hadn't ordered anything..well, anything that might be here already! What a lovely surprise to discover a parcel from our very own DEB TURTLE.....it had totally slipped my mind that I was the lucky recipient of her 'Kind-of-a-Chick-Flick Pass-the-DVD' idea!

Now, Deb, being Deb, didn't just send the DVD.... she sent as much of the experience as she could!


All she didn't send was  the daughter to  watch it with...and fortunately I happen to have one of these returning to the nest in a few weeks! (for a little while anyway). I have decided to keep my movie goodies till then, but then the DVD will be up for grabs again, so watch this space!

Also in the package was a new version of the TEAM TEAL  band...modelled here by my good self!...do you know how difficult it is to try to get a picture of a particular bit of the back of your head?!



Thank you Deb, for taking the time to put together such a great package while you have so much going on around you!

As I said very recently- Bloggers and Scrappers are a great bunch of people!



Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  10. Don't you love good mail? These days when my mail arrives I am often reminded of Dorothy Parker, who, upon hearing a doorbell would say, "what fresh hell is this?"

  12. Hooray! I'm so pleased that you liked your happy mail package, Alison. I hope you and your girl K enjoy the movie. And even if you don't REALLY care for the movie, at least it's a girl's night in with treats. :o) I'll look forward to hearing about it. xo

  15. makes it worth going to check for mail. I guess focussing on the back of your own head does ask for contortionism

  26. Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog! I forgot to mention one of the benefits of the "online" scrapbooking word - interacting with other scrapbookers and bloggers from all of the world. :)

    I hope that your summer is not too hot! I am finding the Bay Area of California mild after experiencing the hot summers in South Texas. Take care!

  27. Oh how special 3 pieces of happy mail in one day! I know how tickled I was to get one a few days ago so can just imagine how tickled you were with 3. :)
