Every year, I take part in a Secret Santa on Bookcrossing. This year, did it on Facebook and got a large parcel about 2 weeks ago just before my little bird died. So, I pulled the pressies out of the parcel pack from the Northern Territory and put them under the tree.
However, over the last few days, I thought it would be good if I treated myself to them. So, I opened them both and found some wonderful paranormal romance novels, a Christmas pen with bells on it and a Kathy Reichs and a werewolf book too. Oh! How wonderful is that? Thank you so much scrapaholic for sending me these wonderful things for Christmas! You have really cheered me up.
I've had the absolute worst weekend. My little pet bird passed away and I'm working hard on making her memory good here. I haven't had the best time getting over her, but I'm getting there.
Today, though, I walked to the post office in the cool breezes - taking my time - and found I had two HGG's waiting for me in the little black space I've rented for my mail. Anyway, I grabbed them and the mail for my folks (as they're on holidays and their mail is coming to my address and not theirs) and I came home.
On opening the first one, I found a wonderful snowman card with a cool pressed penny inside it! I love these things. This came from nmugirl. Thank you so much for cheering up my week; I honestly needed this. And Rudolph looks great on the penny; there was a label inside it too. And, yes, I took the penny out and put it back... that's why it looks like it's torn.
Then, there was another card from another bookcrosser too. On opening this one, I found postcard and a Christmas card from JmsMom. The postcard was of Geronimo's grave site. Very cool! I love the Great Spirit and North American Indian Laws... and this just made my day.
Thank you both for cheering me up. I have enjoyed receiving your cards greatly.
Yesterday was a busy day. And also yesterday, I collected a lot of mail from the PO Box; including a little parcel from San Diego. When I opened it, I found a coin purse with a bookmark inside it and a note from judygreeneyes.
I love this little something from the States; as I love to received coin purses from all over the world. Anyway, it's a little something I can use this Saturday while I'm at the Logan Art Gallery as this coin purse matches a bag I scored at a charity store. Thank you so much judygreeneyes for being so kind in sending me this wonderful little gift.
HGG from San Diego
