When I first started blogging (years ago) I found Di's blog - Quilting is Blissful. For me - reading her blog is such a pick me up. She is always so cheerful, she had the funnest little stories, the cutest little cartoons and the nicest little projects she is working on. Right away we emailed back and forth - and I could see she is genuinely such a nice person. And so interesting too.
Well, skip ahead a few years (like 10!) and we come to Di's Blog Anniversary Giveaway.
Which I WON!
Yesterday I was having a rough day. My supervisors at work have been giving me more and more things to do to the point of overwhelming me. And in the mail, was this package!
Oh cares about work! Let's open this baby up!
Oh - wait. Where are my manners? I want to say thanks first.
THANK YOU Di!
See how delightful that wrapping is? And such a cute card. And Di put darling little kitty kat stickers on the card! Awww - I love it. Makes the card even more special.
Okay - first the dark blue present.
WOW! How pretty is this? It's adorable.
And I love birds.
And look at the wonderful details, love the lace and those cute buttons!
Oh I just love this! What cute flower suckers - looks yummy too.
We have a joke in our family, "All anything needs is a doily and a bird on it." Because I love birds and my husband loves doilies. I had to laugh as this certainly fits the bill.
Also inside that pocket are Flower Seeds!
ZINNAS! Perfect for where I live! I'll be planting those this weekend.
And in the light blue present....
Is this the cutest fat qtr? I LOVE it and it so reminds me of Di! So pretty and girly, and filling lives with fairy dust!
Thank you Di for all the sweet presents and for all the years of letting us read your blog and see into your world.
