What special friends I have....

I have had a few rough weeks here. Between my Aunt passing and then Hubby had to have unexpected (and sudden) gall bladder surgery, I have been suffering from migraines. This week, I received some happy mail from some amazing friends. I am so blessed. Here is what I received:

Thank you so much for making me feel special!!! I also wanted to share some cards I made with my dear friend Julie (my Stampin' Up friend). I always have a wonderful time. Here are all the cards I made:

I am so glad that you popped by and I hope you come back tomorrow for my design team post for the Love to Create Challenge Blog. Until next time....

It is another Happy Mail Day today....

I love going to the mailbox and getting more than just bills! Today I received a present from Brenda of Creativity is only a State of Mind (man, I wish I had been creative with my blog name). This is another crafty cyber friend that amazes me with every post. If you are not a follower of her blog, then you should be . Here is the project that she made for my birthday blog hop that arrived in the mail today (I used her blog pictures as I love the outdoor shots):

Please visit Brenda's blog for some more inspiration. Thank you Brenda for my happy mail today :)


Until next time.....

A Happy Mail Day.......

Greeting fellow earthlings :


I retrieved my mail from the neighbors to be pleasantly surprised by some happy mail. Happy mail comes every so often and always at the right time. I currently have a doctor's appointment because (it appears) I have a surgery complication that is quite unpleasant. I am not a weepy person but this has me in tears at this point. So thank you to Shannon of My-o-Scrappin, Amy of Love to Crop and Tammy from The Purple Muse. Thank you ladies for making this a happier day. Here is what I received:

Blog Candy and Mini Album from Amy

Blog candy from Shannon

My birthday card from Tammy

I also want to give a shout out to the wonderful ladies that participated in my 2 day birthday blog hop. This was an amazing experience (I thought no one would want to do it) and these ladies are so talented. Here is the list for both days. Please visit them and give them some bloggie love.
