HAPPY MAIL

I have to say, it's been a good week for Happy Mail here what with quilt squares (and candy!), postcards and prizes!



This fabulous quilt square arrived from the glorious BEVERLY.......many thanks Beverly.....I can't believe how scrummy the candy is!!






Two postcards.....One from the lovely RUTH, who I have been lucky enough to meet IRL (and will do so again in September) and the other from KAREN







...and the prize?.......I took part in the SCRAP365 bloghop a couple of weeks ago....and I was the lucky winner of this kit from QUIRKY KITS!

Whilst writing this post, it occurred to me that I hadn't shared the other two cards I've received as part of the PILE OF POSTCARDS EXCHANGE organised by SIAN.




This one came from SIAN herself.....





and this one from HELENA (another blogger I have met IRL!)


Thanks to everyone who is keeping our postman (mail man) busy over the summer!

I am hiding indoors out of the heat today, though I do have an errand to run this afternoon so am about to go and attempt to put some REAL clothes on!

hope you are having a good- and perhaps- sun filled weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  1. Thanks for finding me in blogland. I didn't think to add my blog address to the postcard. That was rather short-sighted! I'll be seeing you frequently now. :-) That's a great pile of happy mail!

  8. With all those wonderful goodies arriving, I'm guessing you look forward to mail deliveries. It looks like happy mail at your house just might be more plentiful than bills and junk mail. Good for you!

  10. I am glad so many people are liking our locally made candy :) We have been a bit cool for July, hanging in the mid to upper 80s, very odd but no complaints at all. I am sure soon we will be in the scorching 90s and 100s and I will daydream of sitting in the pool with you.

  14. Hi Alison, first of all many congrats on winning that Quirky Kit prize :) I can't tell you how chuffed I am that you have been "Monday-ing" while I've been away and that your postcards have begun to land. It's very exciting to see them pop up.

    Hope your dad continues to improve

  16. What great Happy Mail. Congrats on winning that lovely looking kit and what a super quilt square - it's beautiful. Oh I wish I had got in on the postcard swap but the problem with being behind is you miss out on things. BTW, we'll be in Barcelona in October. Is that near you?
