Wonderful Surprise!

I opened my mailbox the other day to the most wonderful surprise!  This girl, Tracy, from cottonpickincute sent me a box to-end-all-boxes.  I mean, the girl spoiled me rotten!

Sorry for the poor pictures, it's really hard to take good shots when one is dancing around.

I mean, just look at what was in there!!!

Look at the beautiful packaging! 
(Okay, I totally have to confess... My grandma used to save wrapping paper from Christmas, and then she would iron it for use at a later date.  Yeah- we totally made fun of her for that, even though we loved her dearly...  She was a wonderful grandma, but ironing wrapping paper to a kid is kind of out there.  Well, guess who is now not only ironing that original letter from the 1940's but going to make copies of it too?  Just a warning, never make fun of grandma!!!)
To totally understand and appreciate this package, you have to read here.  It's a tribute to my dreams...
Little did Tracy know that I was actually thinking I could resurrect a discus for my attempt.   Guess who was the champion discus thrower in the family?  ( Yes Libbie was pretty good also)
The fact that my abs look remarkably similar to that in the statue is purely a coincidence...

Adorable handmade owl, love those eyes!
And the details on these bookmarks, could they be any sweeter?  And does Tracy know how much I love to read? 
Can you believe the fabulous apron? 
(I snagged the pic from her site as she took a much better picture than I did.  Thanks Tracy!!!)

It was the most thoughtful package that I have ever received.  There was also a CD, some soap, the sweetest letter and a darling little bottle of lavender.  The details Tracy put into this package are stunning.  Gotta love that girl!  She sure knows how to make a girl feel special!

  1. Aw, what a sweet package, but you are MOST deserving & then some, sweet Kate. BTW, my abs look so much like that, too (NOT!!!). You are a very lovely friend, although I've not the honor to see you face to face.

    P.S. Thanks for the thoughts for Mama.
