CHristmas Swap and Good Mail

I came home from Thanksgiving with some great Mail! I had a fun package from Linda. A very sweet Thanksgiving card and some yummy Sees Candy! I am going to hide them from Rebecca- she loves butterscotch! Thanks Linda!

I participated in a swap that Clemson Girl was hosting and my swap partner was Kelly. She sent me this very pretty and soft scarf and this cute slate wall hanging with a Snowman. It has "Welcome The Wilsons"

I really lucked out! Thanks so much Linda and Kelly!

Good Mail

It has been a busy couple of weeks and I wanted to thank you for the emails wondering where I have been. I have had the crud that seemed to last for weeks and I am finally back to normal.

I have had so enjoyed going to my mailbox and getting so much Good Mail!!

This St. Patricks Day package arrived from Andie. I love the notecards of the chandelier. It reminds me of the beautiful green chandelier that is hanging at Tavern on the Green in NYC. The daisy tissue, mints and gum were a hit in my house. The gum did not last long!!

I got several Thank You notes. One from Kia thanking me for a birthday gift, One from Vanessa for the burp cloth I had made for baby Anna, One from Angie for sending her a happy and one from Jennifer for Valentine goodies.
My mom sent me this cute purse. She knitted it and then felted it. It is super long so I can wear it over my shoulder and across my body. Thanks Mom!
I got this cute box from Linda. She had wrapped it in ribbon and them wrapped it in plastic so the ribbon would make it through the postal system. She must have read about how much I love ribbon.
She filled the box with pink shredded paper and put a Happy Easter hand towel and some Jelly Belly's. (Linda I loved your handwriting in your note! My kids could not believe someone could write that neatly)

We got this great box from Jen. She had made monogrammed pendants for all the girls. She also had sent me a cute pendant of the kids with Love, Learn, Laugh on it. Pink Jelly beans!! Love them.

Good Mail

I have recently been very lucky when heading to the mailbox. Look at all the good mail that has come!!

Aunt Polly sent this great package with Valentine treats and Rebecca's birthday gifts. Notice the large container of Jelly Belly's?? Rebecca is supposed to share with us.

This package came from Jen. The photo tile is fantastic and it will be sitting on my kitchen counter for all to see. Want one? You can have your own by going here. Tiffany's earrings!!!!! When I saw the bag and then the wrapped box with the white bow and then the cute little drawstring bag and then THE EARRINGS! Holy cow! I have worn them every day since getting them. Its hard to believe that a year ago we were in New York for our girls weekend and we went to Tiffany's!!

This was sent by blogger Joyful Notes for the Valentine swap that An Island Life had! What great things! That chocolate did not have a chance in this house!! Thanks Jenny!!
*** read Jenny's funny story about getting my swap gift in the mail*****

This was our table on Valentines Day. Notice the box of chocolates on each plate. Those were sent by my Mom for all of us. She had written our names on them and I used them as our place cards. The kids loved all the red and pink on the table. The red vase has a single red carnation in it. Rebecca had brought her own $2.00 to school that day to buy the flower for me. I had no idea. They were raising money for a family that had lost their house to a fire over Christmas.

My LOVE swap just arrived today and what cool things. Missy hosted the Love swap and we had to send somthing that started with each letter of LOVE. RoRo Island had my name!

L- Learn something new- the Sudoku book. Can't wait to try it out!

O- Overindulge- Chocolates, body lotion and hopefully some time for myself.

V- Virus-haha Hand Sanitizer for all those virus out there.

E- Enjoy a movie with my hubby!

She also sent the cute froggy valentine photo frame.

Thanks RoRo!

Here is what I sent Missy for her Love swap.

L- Lavender ( I made a lavender sachet out of the cute apple/pear fabric)

O- Orbit gum

V-Vanilla Candle

E- Envelopes ( I also included some personalized Toile notecards with the envelopes )

I also sent some chocolates, some bakers twine and some valentine socks.

I sent Missy notecards with her name on it (not Kim like in the photo), but when I snapped the picture I just grabbed some of the notecards that I had been making that day. So Kim I hope you got your notecards. :-)

Have you gotten any good mail lately?

Good Mail

ITs been awhile since I posted about good mail. I got this great box in the mail last week from Kristi! She recycles her boxes and uses them for Good Mail. What a great idea!

I love Ribbon! You should see my workroom..I have organizing drawers filled with every color ribbon. I was so excited to see the pink polka dot ribbon. I already used some of it for this burp cloth for a friend.! Thanks Kristi for the great good mail.Now don't feel left out about not getting some good mail. I have this going out in the mail today. Maybe one of these packages is for you?
I thought I would recycle a box of popcorn and a box of Smuckers PBJ's!!

Fall Swap, Good Mail

I just got home and waiting on my front porch was this!!!!

It came from Diana at Kiss the Frog. Look at her cute bags at her Etsy Shop.

How did she know I love Swedish Fish!! The bag was so cute and the smell.. Wow it was fantastic. The Chocolate coffee made everything smell so good. Look at all the goodies. Thanks Diana!!

I sent out a package to Tiffany then realized that there were two Jennifer's doing the swap. I really should have sent my package to Wendy. So Wendy....I mailed your box out today! Keep a look out for it!

Thanks Are We There Yet MOM? for hosting this!

Good Mail

It has been awhile since I posted some of my Good Mail. Today we arrived home to find a big box on our door step. It was from my Aunt Polly in New Hampshire. She sent cute goodies for the kids in tiny Chinese Take-Out boxes ( money, candy & Halloween Peeps) and some Fall Leaves from her yard. I got some red Toile plates!! ( You know I love Toile!!!)

A while back I answered a question at The Felt Mouse and was the first one with the correct answer....She sent me this cool box from San Francisco. All of the items were in the box of Pasta Noodles. Do you remember the song from the commercial???? "The San Francisco Treat...." I started singing it when I saw the box. Look at all the cool stuff she put inside it!! Thanks Jennifer!!

I also got a Birthday card from Kate!!

Thanks for all of the Good Mail!!

Note to all Good Mail Girls. One of our dear friends just arrived in Iraq and I just got his address. We are godparents to his new little boy! He has two sweet boys and a wonderful wife! We are so glad they live in our town! He is going to be in Iraq for a year. I just can't imagine being away from my family for that long. Especially his new little boy.

I am so proud that he is over there for our country!

I am planning on sending out some Good Mail his way. If any of you would like to send him some mail or your children would like to send mail to a soldier in Iraq please email me!!! I know he would love to get some Good Mail!! If you are not a Good Mail Girl but would like to join in that's great!!

And the Good Mail just keeps on coming!

I just love Good Mail!!

Check out all the good stuff that has filled my mailbox in the last week and a half!
