Really good mail


This has been a really good mail week. If you know me, you know that I hate to go shopping, but I love to order anything that I can through the mail. On weeks when I have ordered something such as a few books with the amazon certificates I earn by using my amazon visa (I put all of our purchases on this card so that I can earn them) I eagerly await our postman every day hoping that my little brown box will arrive. It seems that lately I have been getting a lot of really good mail. My Aunt Genie has sent me several boxes of treasures, and this week a big box arrived from my stepmom full of clothes for the kids, a few coveted monster trucks, and two beautiful handwoven cotton dish towels. The towels were woven by a local women in the New Mexico town where my dad and stepmom live. I have yet to wipe a dish with them because they are so soft and so pretty. And then to top it all off, today I received Lightroom (photo editing software) in the mail, a gift from my stepdad, along with a book to teach me how to use it. So, needless to say, I am feeling really blessed right now. THANK YOU!!!

    The towels are gorgeous. Just seeing their texture on the photos makes me want to touch them. You photos are beautiful, I will be interested to see what you'll do with photo editing software.

    We are so much alike. I detest shopping, ask my hubby and sisters. I go but I hate every min of it. But I absolutely love getting things in the mail or UPS. Like you, I purchase as many things as possible to get that pkg at the PO as often as possible. And if by chance I find a little yellow card in my box on a Sat., I am fit to be tied until Mon rolls around and the PO is open again.What a lovely gift. I know you'll use it a lot and will love even more than you already do. The dish towels are lovely. I think that's what you've got draped over the chairs. If not you need to explain. God bless you and yours.

    I have regular Photoshop, and I haven't done a whole lot with it. I think I need to get myself one of those books! 🙂

    Oh, how I love getting mail!Since I discovered the magic that is Etsy, I've ordered everything from dog collars to engraved dog tags, etc. Have you ever used Norwex antibacterial microfibre products!? I had a Norwex party a week ago and even got those products in the mail! * love it! *I've even gone so far as to have everything delivered to my work instead of my house so I don't have to go all around town chasing my packages down at the UPS/Canada Post depot, as most parcels arrive while I'm at work.I just can't get enough of it! I'm glad I'm not the only one….P.s. your gifts are LOVELY!

I often link to resources that I and my family personally use and recommend. I participate in the Amazon associates program and if you enter Amazon.com through my blog and then make a purchase, I receive a small percentage of the sale. I never recommend a product or resource for the sole purpose of being compensated financially. If I write that we use or love something, you can trust that we do.
