Happy,Happy Mail.....all in one day!!!

When the postman rings the doorbell......it usually means something won't fit through the letterbox.......and that's often something exciting.......but when he gave me the pile of mail on Saturday.......there were 2 packages!!
One had come all the way from Canada........I had to open that first......a gift from Nadine......for taking part in her '30 days of creativity' challenge.
It came with a beautiful card......and packaged in a decorated bag........which contained....

these beautiful papers.......to just look at and drool over......and the biggest problem is.......they are just as beautiful on the other side......how I am ever going to decide which sides to use.....I just don't know!!

The next package was from the mega talented Kath.........I won her blog giveaway of a 'leftover' kit from one of her classes........it contains everything [including canvas and stamps] to make up the stitchery canvas.......all I need are inks.......can't wait to start.

And when I was going through the rest of the mail.....I came upon a rather thick little envelope.......and inside was this cute little fellow [sorry,Sian, I promise I won't use him on your xmas card!!]......which I'd won on The Wild Rose Studio blog hop.

It's not often.....actually it's not ever......I get a mail day as good as this one.....thank you all so much, ladies.
