It Warms My Heart...

I stopped at the Post Office 
this cold winter morning..
And I was so excited!


There was a package waiting...
Just for me!


It was from my new friend, Colleen,
over at Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries!

A sweet little note...don't you just love her business card!

She has a lovely blog...
where she shares some of her wonderful creations!

Oh, yes...
I'm sure that you are wondering
what was in the package...


This adorable handmade mug rug...
Just perfect for a snowy Maine morning!

What a warm feeling when someone
shares a part of themself with you...
A very special blessing...

Thank you so much, Colleen...
You "warmed" my day!

      This certainly has been an exciting winter, weather wise! We don't have much snow right now...just really cold temperatures. Josh just flew to Florida...hope the weekend is warm down there for him!

      How is school going? Give Miss Katie a big hug for me...she is growing up so fast!
      Love,

    Have a great weekend,
