I LOVE GETTING PACKAGES IN THE MAIL.....

THERE'S JUST NOTHING LIKE GOOD FRIENDS...........and that's a fact !
This was sitting on my front porch when I went out to get the mail. My heart started racing, my blood pounding, beads of sweat popped out on my brow, I think I passed a little gas......


NO WHERE ON THE PACKAGE did it say "DO NOT OPEN 'TIL CHRISTMAS" and, oh, I just ripped that paper off. Now, what could be in these 2, cutely wrapped gifts?? I LOVE GETTING PRESENTS IN THE MAIL !!

By this time, I could see that it was from my good, good friend, SHEILA. Oh, and she sends the BEST gifts......


What a precious, round box...and there's a little one just like it !!!???!! What could be inside??
Would you just look at these PRECIOUS little dessert plates!!?!! AND, coasters?? How cute are those!

I want you to see them up close...such CUTE sayings on each one.















OH...and these !! These little coasters to match each plate. I am just tickled to death with such a cute and thoughtful gift from such a good friend. When my friends come over for lunch and cards, we will sure use these for our dessert and drinks.....
Oh, I love them all, Sheila, my friend. Thank you soooo much. You know me like a book and I love that!! Mostly, tho, I love YOU!! I am blessed !

BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE ~

What a nice gift. BJ I rented the move the waitress last night what a GOOD GOOD move. The only bad thing was I had NO PIE ( SO SAD )
Thank-you for telling us all about the movie. Have a wonderful day

Ahhh, a girl after my own heart. If the package does not say "Do not open before Christmas" I go for it as well. My darling husband has a hard time at Christmas, he has to hide everything from me.

My birthday is 4 days after Christmas and you would think after almost 32 years of wedded bliss, he would remember that if a gift is wrapped in Christmas paper it gets unwrapped at Christmas. LOL

That's a fun gift. I love all those sayings. What a nice fiend.
It's snowing here today. 5-10 inches, they say.
Have a good one.

I'm sooo glad you liked the plates and coasters. I thought of you as soon as I saw them. The one that really made me think of you was the one that said "I know how to save money - I never miss a sale". Merry Christmas my dear friend. I love you too!

Won't you be the talk of your next girl get together when you bring out these plates.

I believe these "quotes" would be the motto of a lot of us ladies.
