Gifts

I am the happy recipient of three giveaways over the past several weeks.
Actually, I only won one of the giveaways ~ the other two were just
blessings from these generous ladies!
~*~
Camille, a dedicated homeschooling mama, gifted me
and several other ladies with a subscription
to 'Answers' magazine for 1 year! Can you believe that?
My 5 year old grand~daughter saw it on my coffee table
and was fascinated by the cover.
"Grandma! Look at that dinosaur's bones and big teeth!"
I guess I know who will get the magazine when I am through reading it!
:~P
Thank you, Camille! I love good magazines!
~*~
I only recently came across Sharyn Sowell's blog. She is a fellow
Washingtonian and has been featured in Victoria Magazine
for her delightful hand cut paper designs. She also designs fabric and
these letterpress print cards which are printed on her antique press
which she has named 'Alice'.
You must go visit her and read her story about how she started with paper cutting.
And soon she will tell us all about Alice!
Thank you, Sharyn! I am going to frame several
of these little works of art!

Sandi at Wayside Treasures sent me the most joyous
Valentine package full of sweet things to
Enjoy!

Sandi is a sweetheart who enjoys so many of the same things I do ~
antiques, crafting, and grand babies!
She made this gorgeous heart and the delicious roses adorning it!
Please go visit her and check out all the lovely things she creates!
(If you all are wondering where the chocolate went ~ Gentleman Farmer
and I shared them after dinner one night! ;~P)
~*~
Thank you Camille, Sharyn and Sandi!
I love each and every gift!

Dear Lady Farmer,

Such treasures! You are right to put that scripture; everything is a gift from Him, isn't it? Especially friends that are so generous and sweet~I have never heard of that magazine, but I'll have to add it to my list :).

Love,

Marqueta

Hello, and you are most welcome! My press and scissors are always busy designing products and it's fun to share the goodness.
Your header reminds me of Tasha Tudor, whose work I adore! I think of her when feeding my chickens, and wish I had the beautiful garden she kept.
Happy spring, blogging friend! It's lovelier than ever this year because of being so early and joyfully welcomed.

It's lovely to hear from you. WOW is all I could say about your wonderful mail days. Do you mind me borrowing your mailman for a few days? Maybe he would bring me something nice too... :)
