Making My Heart Smile.....

From the inside out....

Mindy from Raymond Homestead recently had a giveaway, and I was the lucky ducky who won.....

And what a package of delight Mindy sent:

The wonderful acorn penny mat (which was the bestest prize of all) - but Mindy tucked in lots of extras....The sweet little pumpkin with fresh Sweet Annie (yummm), a little grinning black cat tin, a darling stitched Halloween pillow tuck, a pumpkin notepad, and the most thoughtful little card with Mindy's log cabin "play house" done up for Halloween. 

The penny mat:

The Sweet Annie-filled pumpkin:

The pillow tuck:

Thank you SO very much Mindy....These little treasures will always be special treasures in my heart....

I also received a surprise package in the mail from the wonderful Linda Claus....(This gal works on her off season like no one else I know!!)

And, true to her magic, she KNOOOOOOOOWWWS what I like!

(What pumpkin hoarder wouldn't love this???)

Nope Carmen - it's ALL mine! ;o)

Thank you dear Linda - hope your 'puter gets to feeling better soon so you can continue spreading your Blogland cheer.....

My truest heart-felt thanks to Mindy - and Linda - for the joy their gifts bring me ~ not just the ones that come in the mail, but also the ones they give every day they choose to share themselves with us....
