WooHoo! Yesterday, the mailman delivered the second package from my blog contest winning streak. The very kind and generous Joni had a contest to name her adorable little doll (whom I named Frizzy Lizzy.) I won, and Joni sent me a goodie. Look how sweetly she wrapped it up:
She sent me a cool Amy Butler kit to make a little hanging paper basket. I’ve never seen one of these and it looks really fun. I love paper crafts and I love baskets — a perfect match! I ripped into the wrapped package and look what I found:
A fabulous set of note cards with a quilt pattern on the front. Just look at those beautiful colors. And you can’t see it, but the paper is textured a little bit. You can rub your hand over the blocks and almost feel them. I LOVE note cards and stationary. Joni, f I didn’t know better, I’d think we’d been friends for years — you’ve picked gifts that are just perfect for me. Thank You Very Much — I love them both! Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail is wonderful — and VERY much appreciated.
It’s a good thing I’m giving away Red Bunny tomorrow — it makes me feel a little less guilty that I’ve been on the receiving end of such fabulous gifts. What a lucky girl I am! We’ve spent our last Friday night with Red Bunny. We had a cookout with a few of the boy’s friends and then took Red Bunny and the kids to Cold Stone for a little treat — the first we’ve managed to have this summer. Um-mm good!
And finally, I managed to visit MeMum’s and watch the latest Big Love. (I think I’ve mentioned that we don’t have HBO, so MeMum records it for me.) I’m glued to Big Love this summer and I can’t believe there are only four episodes left. (It’s going to be an unbearably long haul until February and the return of Sawyer!) In order to quell my Red Bunny separation anxiety, I’ve been playing the “Find Out Which Sister-Wife You Are” game on the HBO website.
Dang it! I knew I wasn’t that little trollop Margene, but I was sure I was a Barb! I guess that shooting the Mountain Dew cans off the porch did me in. ;-) Which Sister-Wife are YOU???
See you tomorrow night!
XOXO,

Those cards look beautiful! The colours and the diagonal stripes are fantastic…kinda makes me want to break into the fabric again (which I do everyday, but its very, very late at the moment)….And we don’t get that show over here. Maybe next year! The aussies are slowpokes that way.
You are lucky – the cards are lovely and I am looking forward to seeing the basket.
Have a good weekend.

What wonderful gifts! I love the notecards – they are beautiful! I’m sorry about the Red Bunny anxiety you’re having, and I can truly understand why – he’s just the sweetest!
I am totally in love with Big Love – when I was visiting my son and DIL in West Virginia, they got me started on Season One. I haven’t seen all of it, but I was hooked! We don’t get HBO, either, and my husband wasn’t too keen about buying it for just ONE show, so I don’t get to see it! Wah wah wah!!! My son (who also watches it) tells me it’s pretty good so far this season. I’ll just have to wait ’til I can rent it. Tell your mum she’s a wonderful girl for taping it for you.
Okay – I took the Sister-Wife Quiz, and I’m a Barb. I really like her, so I think that’s a good thing. I loved the choice about shooting the pop cans off the porch – LOL!
Wow, you got some nice goodies. I’ve never seen that Amy Butler basket thingy either but it looks adorable.
Ok, I took the quiz and I’m a Barb but I have no idea what that means as I’ve never seen the show, lol.
that little gift looks fun! I love the buns in your previous post too!
I’m a Barb. I can only wish to be Margene, but figured I’d be Nikki.
I am very excited about meeting Red Bunny and I assure you that he will have a good home here with me.
