gifts...

In the past week, I've received 2 special packages from my postman..a pleasant experience indeed.

The first mail was from  a wonderful friend, Jeanne, whom I met when I was in Ann Arbor 2 years ago.

Jeanne and I met at a bookmaking workshop at the Kerrytown Bookfest in 2008. And since then we've been in touch and this is what Jeanne sent me..

The second package was from Marilyn; filled with a variety of papers for collage. 

Marilyn was my swap partner for Lawendula's January paper swap.

Thank You, Jeanne and Marilyn! 

I love the beautiful papers and little books you sent me....these will keep me busy in the next few days....

In closing, a quote I love from KRR (Kelly Rae Roberts)

" A friend is a present you give yourself"
