did you ever get a beautiful handmade card in the mail for no reason at all? just because someone really nice...and really talented...was thinking about you? well i did, the other day, from my lovely friend and fellow caardvark jolene johnston.
wanna see?
gorgeous, isn't it?! and i assure you, the photo does not remotely do it justice!
but there wasn't only a card--there were prezzies, too! ART prezzies...which, as you know...are the very best kind! (especially when someone terribly thoughtful, who really knows your style, has done the picking out!) there were sparkly transparencies, and printed ribbons, and uber-fancy jeweled brads!
and yeah...that packet with the heart on it *does* say, "PINK hot chocolate"! (i will report further details on that when i have sampled it.)
but the very VERY best bit was that all of the above was brought to my home by the newest member of our happy little family...may i proudly introduce to you
MENA THE MONSTA!
of course, when arriving at a new place, it takes a little while to settle in & find one's niche. at first mena thought the typewriter would be a terrific place to perch...but it was not very comfy!
the bathroom tap was more relaxing...but a bit damp.
the big lamp affords a terrific view of the livingroom...but it's a bit precarious.
and the phone in the hall was just TOO NOISY!plus, the main problem with all of those choices was that they were all a bit lonely.
...finally...
mena found a place that was
JUST
RIGHT!
welcome mena monsta!
and may all our travels be happy ones! :)
(and many many *MANY* thanks again, miss jolene!!!)
With that many backseat drivers do you actually have to do what they say?
