The sweetest things!






Beep....beep....beep! Who's making all the racket? I wondered as I pottered around the kitchen this morning. Then I hear "Hello! Hello!". I looked out the window and there was a delivery lady down at my front gate calling out to me. She didn't want to come in the yard because the sign on the gate says "beware of the dog!". LOL hahahaha LOL! Oh if she only knew! Those of you who have seen my Paris Fifi will see the humor. So after a little chat at the gate about her busy day, I wish her well and hurry up the drive to tear into the parcel she so kindly and persistently delivered to me. Can you imagine how thrilled and touched I was to see what was awaiting me? The very lovely and sweet Dianntha from Ohio Farm Girl http://ohiofarmgirl.blogspot.com/ sent me these gorgeous handmade coasters and little snowman wall hanging. I had seen the coasters on her blog and commented that I thought she had a wonderful talent for making them, and how much I loved them. The next thing I know they are in my home! If you haven't been over to see Dianntha, please do because she really is a wonderful lady! Thank you Dianntha! I love them so much and have already decided how and where I am going to display them. Wow this blogging thing is fabulous, I never knew that there were so many awesome people out there to meet! Hope you're having a terrific day too! Love Amanda xxx

Oops. Meant to post the comment about how cute those snow men are on THIS comment .... not the previous one!
Glad your family got to see the Phantom of the Opera when it was out there. We really DID enjoy it.

p.s. I am trying to figure out how to post your SUPER COOL AWARD to me on my blog. I don't understand how the layout works. Can you help me?

p.p.s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you photographed the little snowmen, with the light from that cool punch out candle shining on them. Excellent presentation.

Looking forward to seeing your crafts!

Those are very cute. How thoughtful a gift. Tell her not to be embarrassed, I'm afraid of your dog too. You can tell Paris-Fifi I said so, it will build up that
dog-esteem of hers. Tell your dog that I said it's okay if you are short, just stand tall. Your dog is one of the cutest I've seen. Happy Monday to you dear, or perhaps it's Tuesday by now, for you. Kathi

Those coasters are so cute! That was very sweet of Dianntha. I'm gonna have to visit her. By the way those pizzas look sinful. I'd love to have a piece, but guess I'll be good and have a bowl of ice cream instead! LOL God Bless, Celene
