Gifts

Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness. ~ Richard Bach



Thank you, my dear friend! They are beautiful and smell divine and they're still going strong!

Packages in the mail are so much fun! On June 29, Kari celebrated her My One Year Blog-iversary Giveaway and I won! So exciting let me tell you!

And what was in the box? Wonderful things that's what...



And here some of them are in their new homes...









This morning's newlywed news?

"Say, Hon, who do we have on our hit list?" John asks.

That's enough to give one pause, eh? (He meant playlist, but I actually could think of a few for the first.) :D

Have a heavenly day!

  1. Ah, such gorgeous flowers. . .Don't you just love the conversations that surround blogging with your sweetie? Mine says . . oh is that the one from. . . or is she the one who .. it is quite a lot of fun. Enjoy your day and try not to take a hit out on anyone.

  2. Hi Vee!
    What lovely flowers and such cute things from Karla! Congrats on winning her giveaway!
    My hubby also asks me about people and gives his comments. It's fun to have him join in sometimes. He loves the photos people take and thinks we all should be professional photographers! I wish!
    Have a great week!
    Hugs, Sherry

  4. I've been meaning to tell you that I LOVE the design of your header. It makes me covet. Hehehe...

    My husband would never make that mistake of "hit list". He knows there have been too many days I wanted to make a list of why to hit him. :)

  5. How funny. Tell him that the proper grammar would be "Who do we have on our hit list." That would change the meaning dramatically.

    Actually, I was thinking that he was asking what was on the list of things to do for the day. But you see, I'm living in the land of remodeling so that's where my brain is at.

    The Farmer said to tell your husband that he is now officially "blog fodder".

  6. Beautiful flowers, Vee! and congrats on winning the giveaway - I'm jealous. I've been curious to know how the honeymooners are doing? Looks like you two lovebirds are doing great! I'm so pleased! I'm still waiting on a photo of you two together....

  7. What beautiful flowers. Isn't it fun getting packages in the mail? I'm reading the Mitford series by Jan Karon. I really like her books.

  8. Glad you like the stuff, Vee. All of it looks so much better in your house than it did on my dining room table. lol

    And tell Sherry I do forgive her for getting my name wrong. My family nickname is "Sissy" so "Karla" actually looks pretty good to me! lol

    P.S. LOVE the flowers!!

  9. You were so lucky to win that giveaway. Aren't those little dolls the cutest and you've displayed them in such a creative way.

    Even after 33 years together, some days I still feel I'm on my honeymoon. And if my husband asked about our hit list I'd know he was talking about our neighbor who allows his car alarm to beep, beep, beep about four times a day.
