So even though the rest of my world was in upheaval this week the mail was kind to me.
I received my March Coloriffic Swap-o-rama package, blues & greens, from Lyn of Florspace. Thank you!!!
What a package it is!
She made me a monogrammed bag & some adorable cloth coasters! (I have had these on the to do list for months, yeah I can check them off!).
There is candy, bittersweet chocolate (yum!), beads(love love love em), a mechanical pencil (I can never have enough of these!), a bandana, a teddy bears, wooden box, crocheted flower, cell phone leash (great idea!), fabric & a really pretty zipper pouch. Can you ever have too many bags of assorted sizes? I don’t think so!
I love the fabric My favorite is the one on the far right, but they are all so pretty!:
Also I might add that she has an Etsy Shop with some really cute pouches & bags, incase you are looking for a little something or a great little gift. Thanks Lyn!
Then I the other night I get home & John asks me who I know in New Mexico (other than the people that he knows too that is). Of course I told him my Sugar Daddy (don't I wish!!!) I look at the fat little envelope & realize that it’s from Raesha! I opened it up to find this:
I was so surprised to be on the receiving end of Raesha’s CAOK! I am so touched that she thought to include me. I love the papers that she sent & the card is adorable! It has my favorite Black Capped Chickadee on it! I am supposed to send him on to someone else. Hmmmm……..
I know that she off on vaca with little Miss S but Thank You Thank You, Sweet lady!
If you aren’t familiar with the term check out African Kelli who started, CAOK ~ Calculated Acts Of Kindness. I know that this has been said a lot lately but Bloggers are the nicest most generous people! My only regret is that we all don’t live in the same neighborhood!
I hope that everyone else had as sweet a spot in there week!

Wow--love the color swap, I haven't heard of that one---hmmmm might have to try to get in one of the months, especially with such a lovely package, it's very tempting. Sorry you are going through some chaos lately, the package(s) arrived just in the nick of time to give you a little bit of sunshine!
don't you just hate the DQ's of the office??? They just drain everyone! I'm lucky with the staff I have now, everyone is great....but I've definitely had my share of the meenie weenies in the past!
Hugs,
Lucy
thanks for posting her shop! i've already inquired about a doxie pouch!
ugh. Sorry to hear about all the drama... Hopefully this weekend will be sewing filled, and drama-free!
Such lovely goodies in the mail - *that's a promising start to the weekend, no???
The chickadee is just adorable - and you are a far nicer person than me! I don't know that I could bear to pass it along. (but that's just me. I'm selfish. And I like Chickadees!) :)
I'm so glad you liked your CAOK:):) Can I add your photo to our flickr group??
Hi, You have posted tons and tons since I last read! I didn't get to the fabric store Material World because I forgot the address at home on the continent. I was actually in very close vicinity last night because I visited my relatives in Acton, no trains ran, what a pain. But definitely next time. Today I went to Adornment at Battersea, fabulous African fashion show on the runway, my first visit but I will go again. Check Gizella's fashion, hand painted fabrics, yummy yummy yum!
Nice bears, What better way to send your love across the miles than a Valentines Day Care Package? This delightful red gift box includes a delightfulteddy bears, Hershey Kisses and an assortment of valentines chocolates.
