Mug Reveal Day!

It's time for the Tea Cup/Mug Exchange Reveal.
This event is hosted by Stephanie, The Enchanting Rose Blog .







It's always a lot of fun to participate in this great event.  You get to send stuff to someone and meet them and then get a package from a different person and get to meet them too.  So you make 2 new friends that way.

I signed my mom up to participate this year.  She's 88 and loves getting mail.  She really isn't able to write much any more though but she sure had fun getting her package in the mail.  Her partner that she received from was,
Patti Boyd.  Patti doesn't have a blog.

This is what Patti sent my mom.

 This really pretty mug which was a tea infuser.  It was packaged in a really cute matching box.

Mom doesn't drink tea/coffee anymore but she liked the Tang and the Cocoa that she received.  There was cookies and jams which were enjoyed as well and a pretty book mark.

Also a lovely embroidered tea towel, some scissors, a pretty little tatted decoration.  Such delicate work on that., Somre pretty butterfly clips which mom used to decorate with.  Plus a Swinging butterfly decoration.  Mom loves butterflies.

A closer view of the tea towel and tatted ornament.

Thank you so much Patti for making my mom's day a little brighter with your wonderful package and sweet note.

Mom sent to: Shelly Kaunzner. - She doesn't have a blog.

Next up:  My partner who had my name was:  Bev Kirk - Bev does not have a blog.

Here is what I received:

 This really cute mug, some salted caramel cocoa (Yum), Chamomile Tea, French Vanilla Coffee and a Chocolate Mint candy. - I liked them all.

Hand Lotion and Some Flower Seeds. - I love flowers.

A coloring journal and pencils. - This has some great designs in it.

A super neat pot scrubbing pad.  We really like this pad for doing dishes.

Thank you so much Bev for all the wonderful items.

My partner that I sent to was:

Thanks again Stephanie for hosting this event.  It really is a lot of fun to participate in. 

Late for the Party

Welcome! - Yes it's Saturday and I'm late for the Party....What party?  - Well how about Good Fences Around the World & Willy-Nilly Friday Five.

Busy week....no excuse.

  Up first for GOOD FENCES

Spotted this decorative piece on a gate while out on a walk this past week.

I think it dresses up the plain wooden fence nicely.  Don't you?

Next to the pretty orange ball they had this sign:

Of course there were no fresh cut flowers because it's still winter here and about the only flowers growing now would be early crocus. 

Now let's join Tanya (Around Roanoke) for WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY 5

1.  It's time once again to sign up for the Teacup/Mug Exchange hosted by Stephanie from: The Enchanting Rose blog!!!

This is always so much fun.  You get to make friends with the person you send to and the person who sends to you.  It's so exciting when your package arrives, just like Christmas.  It's also a lot of fun picking out items to send to your partner.  You won't want to miss this so go sign up now.

2.  Coleen had to dress up in 80's fashion for a school project.  We are on a limited budget so had to find things she already had to work for the theme.  Here is what she & her mom came up with.

I think they did an awesome job.

3.  The winter was super hard on the roads here in "Wally World" (aka Walla Walla) -  Our street was a mess...pot holes, up rooted asphalt etc....they came the other day to do a "temporary" fix on the road.

This was part of the crew working on the road right in front of my mom's house and our house.  They just put down gravel and won't put new asphalt until late March or early April.  Not much of an improvement but better than nothing at all.

4.  Hubby was sitting at the table the other day and said to me:  "I think I may need you to wash off the back of my head."  -  I said,  "Why?"
He said, "Well a board hit me in the back of the head this morning while I was working and I think it might have some dried blood on it."

So I go look and told him,  "You are going to the ER to have that looked at right now."  He's like,  "No it's fine."  But being the nice wife that I am I said, "To bad, go get it checked out."  He did....

Here is the cut on his head before on the left & after they cleaned it up on the right.

Thankfully no concussion, no stitches needed (they glued it).  It's sore but he's lucky it wasn' t worse.  Men!

5.  Finally I leave you with a little video of our sweet kitty,  Caramel playing "fetch."

 

She is such a silly little thing and we love her to pieces.

 

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by.
