ANOTHER GOODIE BOX FOR ME!!!!

 

Diagonal Sand

Good afternoon all. See the photo??????  this is my back yard if we don't get some rain soon... it looks like rain but I don't think it is going to happen, so I guess I am going to have to find our weather person and give the am smack........  You know they never get it right any way.  Well this is not what I was going to post about any way. Sorry I got off the track.

Now about my Goodie Box, my Sweet and Dear Blog Friend Vanessa sent me such wonderful thoughtful gifts in the mail. It is like Christmas. She is such a dear and I love reading her posts,  Vanilla Lavender; if you have not been to visit her please stop by you won't be sorry.

I took some great photos to share what great taste she has. So hang on, oh by the way It was a Pay it Forward which I might add is a wonderful way to say Thank You and Appreciate them. Jan for Jan and Toms Place she started it and I joined in and so did Vanessa, so I hope more of you out there will do the same, not need to it up big , just a little  somein somein in the mail.

So here is the photos. you will be amazed.

I want you to know that when I saw this I went straight back and told then and then gave each and every one I saw a smack on the cheek . lol

I put it all right here, this is my coffee and tea station, sorry about my can opener. It really does not go with the look so I am going to take it down, I don't like using it any way. The three drawer chest I found at a craft show.

Hey Alaura!! I'm so glad so hear you liked the little things I chose for you! Urrrr I told the PO officer I had glassware in the box and he said he'd be extra careful with it, I guess not. Those yo-yo are some of the things I love making, knitting and sewing. ( my mama used to teach when I was just a little girl.) Super big hugs! and thanks again for the goodie box and for hosting PIF too! Vanessa
