Unexpected Gifts

I'm feeling mighty blessed
on this fine day.
* * *
I've recieved not one, but TWO very unexpected gifts in the past couple of weeks. The first was this wonderful tag made by Lori. I had bid on this amazing tag on ebay but was outbid one of my favorite customers. Poo. Ever graceful in defeat, I quietly pined away for my lost tag. Amidst all this quiet pining I got a package in the mail from Lori. Huh? What could it be? Imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope only to discover my long last tag! Included was a note saying it was from Debbie (the aforementioned fave customer). I was floored. And more than a little teary-eyed. Thank you, Debbie!

Then, as if my faith in humanity wasn't already restored enough, I received yet another gift! All wrapped in prettiness was a true treasure-
a most wonderful addition to my growing family of Reds. Her name is Mica Red, after her fabulously talented creator. Mica knew I loved her, so she just sent her to me! I was shocked and truly touched by this show of generosity and kindness. Thank you so much, Mica!

Of course, the Reds wasted no time in gathering around to welcome their new sister.


Mica Red is feeling a little overwhelmed with all the attention. Naturally, Squeaker Red pushed to the front to get a good look.



Biscuit Red had to climb on a basket to see around pushy ole Squeaker. Nutmeg Red loved her new sister immediately, but Topsy Red is being her usual drama queen self and demanding some attention.
