A Very Special Thank You!

sooo... after my last post, i headed out to maybe get a taco and mail out a group of postcrossings.  i decided against the taco (going to make bacon & eggs in a little bit instead), but remembered to pick up my mail on the way home.  


i was greeted w/ a couple terrific postcards, and also the pressies i was waiting for to send off to a couple other ppl.  : )   

 Germany

Japan

fun book by an awesome author, BJ Daniels is one of my all time favorites!  : )  

lovely, yes?  : )  


along w/ those dear things, there was a key... "why would there be a key?  i'm not expecting anything big..."  completely had forgotten a conversation i had w/ marz a couple days ago!  


this is what awaited me - notice the beautiful turtles decorating the package?

i cut them out & will put them in my postcard album.  : ) 

this was my face when i pulled it out of the mailbox (not the best photo of me, but pretty accurate to how excited i was!): 

and i kept getting more excited as i opened the box!  

on top, a ziploc w/ beautiful crocheted doilies and butterfly magnets made for me by marz's mama.  i lllllove them all!  the green one reminds me of my darling sea, and sea turtles.  : )  

GORGEOUS!  marz, your mama is UBER talented, and please give her a biiiiiig hug and thank you from me!  


the presents didn't even end there, tho!  there was a fabulous monogrammed card, and inside a most fun letter.  i love letters!  you'd never guess, right?  lol  

 she drew a turtle!  awww!  : ) 

after i'd read the letter, i unwrapped the bottom of the package to discover... 

bliss!!!  isn't he cute?  i'm naming him Marzello.  : )  


so, THANK YOU, dear marianne!  you ROCK and i'm so happy to call you friend.  (i was happy to call you friend before the presents, too, but you knew that!)  : )  


i'm very blessed to count you all as friends, you spoil me with unexpected presents (SMK ring a bell?*wink*) and letters, phone calls and photos and bloggy blogs.  thank you for taking time out of your busy lives to share a little bit of mine.  i appreciate you.  i love you!  (and Jesus loves you, too, which is way more important.)

ttfn!
