happy mail . . . and LEGO Jesus

 I always good intentions of posting her more regularly, but don't seem to get it done.

Yet, I don't give up this blog completely.  So for now . . . when it happens - it happens.

I just wanted to share my Happy Mail, LEGO Jesus (which I just had to have), and my green hair.

Today is a great day for a great day!

National Pig Day . . . .

I received this fun little package in the mail just in time for National Pig Day.

Thank you to Lorraine (Paper Vernissage) for the wonderful surprise . . . this little beaded pig is adorable.  I was completely unaware of National Pig day until 5 years ago when I happened upon Lorraine's  Pigs on Parade challenge.  This package also arrived on a day when I needed a smile!

Thank you Lorraine for the happy mail, the smile, and how you always inspire me. 

keep calm . . .

 So I more or less finished this little doll.  I haven't named her or written her story yet . . . and I am still not sure if I like her.  Although there are some things that I like about her.  

 I like her "I love sushi" hair bow . . . and her tie dyed scarf . . . and her #9 charm . . . 

 . . . and I like her little peace sign bag and I guess I like her hair.  

LOL . . . I guess I may like her a little after all.  

I have a few ideas for her story . . . maybe that will make a difference.

 Charlotte likes her . . . so I asked her for some ideas on what to name her.  

I got things like "Sparkles" and "Glitter" . . . I think that "My Little Pony" t-shirt she is wearing somehow influenced her thinking tonight.  

 Today also involved folding paper cranes, writing letters, reading, taking a nap and drinking coffee late in the day . . . which explains why I am still awake tonight.

I honestly think I am the most happy and relaxed 

when I am simply at home . . . doing the things I like to do.

Peace on Earth . . .

This was in my mailbox today . . . what a wonderful surprise!

Thank you Lorraine!

My dad used to make wood cutouts similar to this.  He would have liked this one.  I have a feeling he would have looked for the pattern and made a few.  

Lorraine also makes the most wonderful cards.  

I am always so excited when I receive one . . . and I love snowmen!

Peace on Earth!
