Wait Until You See What Arrived in my Mail!!!!!

I am such a lucky girl! I am really a lucky girl because I decided to be a blogging girl!!!! I love our sweet little world. Who would have ever thought that when I started this silly blog a year ago that I would have connected with all my special blogging friends. Who wants to read what I have on here...HUH!!! Seriously!!!! Somebody wants to? I think they do, because somehow I have 330 sweet peeps following me...ME...hehehe..I am so happy!!! I have my kind of art lovin' peeps, you know, the peeps that get what you are doing. I have my sweet vintage peeps, those girls make me so jealous looking at their beautiful homes and decorating tips! YIKES!!!! Those peeps can get me in all kinds of trouble, good trouble. How about the PEEPS that go all over meeting each other? REALLY JEALOUS!!!! I might be jealous, but I feel a real connection to each and everyone of you and I wish you could see the huge smiles you bring to my face when I am reading your posts. I wish you could see the tears and the saddness in my heart when you have a sad story to share with me. I feel like I know you all like a best buddie and love sharing my time with you.

I have something special to share with you today. Another blogging thing! How many people do you know that isn't in the blogging world that would have a package sent to them after writing a few words on someone's blog when entering a giveaway, nobody does that, are you nuts. Nobody but our blogging buddies that is.
I entered a giveaway a while back and got an email that I was the lucky winner of this





Isn't she beautiful, honestly you cannot see how beautiful she really is in pictures, she is amazing! I could hardly wait for her to arrive when I found out I won her. Her name is Rose Girl, she is amazing and so is the artist that painted her. Her name is Diane and she is so sweet, kind, beautiful and such a special lady. Stop by Diane's blog for a visit, trust me you won't be sorry, she is over~flowing with talent.

So what do you think, pretty special eh! My package arrived on Monday, big huge box and I am thinking what the heck, this says it is from Diane but the package is HUGE!!!! LOL...That sweet girl not only sent my prize from her giveaway but so many beautiful little treasures along with it and the sweetest note card thanking me for entering her giveaway and encouraging her on her blog. Geesh, I couldn't believe it. I mean really this talented artist thanking me for leaving a message on her blog with a piece of her gorgeous art and then all these extras. Something is wrong here, I am the one that needs to thank her BIG TIME!!! Of course I emailed Diane and thanked her but I will thank her again today. Diane I can't thanked you enough for the beautiful treasures and gorgeous painting you have sent me to fill my house and home with all things I love. You are a very talented artist and a beautiful friend. I am happy to have you along on my journey. You are a true treasure.








Also, it is like wild kingdom week around here look at the sweet bunny I found in my backyard yesterday and this goofy black cat that I found up in the tree at the same time. I do not have cats, I have my doggies. I called my neighbor because they have cats and he got up and got GOOFY out of the tree. Come to find out it wasn't that neighbor's cat, but the neighbor across the street was the owner. BAD KITTY crossing the road!

Isn't he the sweetest little thang! So darned cute.

Goofy cat! Screaming like a mad man up in the tree.

Goofy cat better not have been trying to hunt down bunny, he will get in a lot of trouble.

I am going to try and get pics taken and a post done on my sale finds from last weekend. It seems to be so busy around here just can't get things accomplished. My sweet nephew called me yesterday, he lives about four hours away and told me he was driving down today and wanted to stop by and visit his auntie..hehehe..I asked him to join me for dinner so I am really looking forward to his visit as I haven't seen him for some time. I can remember when he was little, the sweetest little baby with the most beautiful curly red hair and I would take him everywhere with me, loved him to pieces. I can hardly wait to give him a big ole smooch!!!

You said exactly how I feel about our blogging group. Everyone and I mean everyone is so nice. You are so right, to get a package like you got is darn exciting and I really like sending them, so that is why I do my French Fridays. If I can make one person happy for one day, I feel good!

Lovely giveaway and you deserve everything you get, sweet Debby.

Sue said...

Bloggers are fabulous! I love how connections/friendships can be made even when we don't know the person in "real life". Your picture and box of goodies are wonderful!

LOL at goofy cat and 'awwwwwwwww' at your cute little bunny!

Hugs,

Sue

wonderful post - love your treasures - and the photos of your backyard creatures are delightful!

I won several giveaways during OWOH - and, unfortuantely, they didn't include their names, or blogs, or email address - and I forgot who I won them from! SO I can't thank them. I feel badly.

What a terrific array of goodies came with you art prize!

Terri Kahrs said...

The generosity and kindness in Blogland is amazing! Enjoy your treasures!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo

WOW - you have certainly been livin' right - I guess your wayward Muse did get you shaped up. LUCKY you... and you are so right - Diane is such a sweetie! A really great gal. I love her faces. OH, I entered that same give-away- are you sure Diane sent it to the correct address? Huh? Huh? Great post and I love the critters in your back yard.... I bet kitty was chasing bunny and probably bunny wiggled his ears and up the tree went kitty! hugs,

trudi said...

Aw, Debby - you said it so well - I am very moved by your comments and see the truth in them every week!
Love your Goofy/Bunny story and photos - I remember when we first met here how your dog took off chasing...a bunny wasn't it? I wonder if...no, I know, the bunny was probably a relative of the other....after all, we are ALL a part of one and other.

Lori said...
