BENEFITS OF BLOGGING N' MORE!

Do you remember the post from last week where I mistakenly opened a package that was not mine? Well, I meant it to be funny, and so many of you sweet ladies felt so bad for me! Well, my bloggy pal, Sara felt so bad that she sent me some of her creative goodness!! What I mean by that is that she makes alot of beautiful handmade things, from cards to appliqued clothing! I've browsed through her Etsy store, and her products are so whimsical, feminine, and just downright girly! You can imagine how excited I was when she told me she was going to send me some goodies!! My girls were even excited when it came!! So, see for yourself, and if you have a chance, you should go visit her blog too. Just her gorgeous boys alone will make you want to go back!! So, THANK YOU again, Sara!!! You did make my day!

Aren't these gorgeous? Wouldn't you love to receive this?! In the middle of the back row is a tag she also made. She wrote a little on on the back of it!

On the left is the cutest little bag! See the bird on it? Isn't that birthday card behind it beatiful, too?

Happy Birthday cards! I don't even want to use them because they're so cute! I want keep for myself!!

Isn't that the cutest towel? It is now in my bathroom! It matches perfectly!

Her personal note to me! Isn't she the sweetest??

    Oh my goodness! I love her stuff, too cute. You know what? Yesterday the FedEx man delivered flowers.. and I got all excited. And was like "who on earth sent me flowers!?" I started to open it and then stopped.. looked at the address.. my addy.. but not my name!! LOL. So I called the number that was next to the address and it was for my neighbor. :( April Fools, huh!?
