The generosity of friends just amazes me, especially those friends (other craft bloggers) that I have never met but still consider friends:) I had remarked to Lera that I thought the ponytail holders she had made her daughter were adorable. She was so sweet to offer to send me one (and I love it), but I totally didn’t expect all the other goodies she sent with it! The soap she sent & made herself smells oh so yummy (like you seriously want to eat it, even though she puts a disclaimer on it about eating it). Thank you Lera! :)

Then yesterday I got a package from Laurie & I totally wasn’t even expecting one! Last week she had made an owl & I had remarked on how cute he was. Little did I know, that she had actually made the owl just for me!

I was seriously so excited when I opened up the package from her and saw Mr. Owl. He is amazingly hand-crafted (her work is just wonderful) and the cutest thing ever (well maybe besides my cats:). She also sent this very cute pig ornament (all these cute ornaments are making me wish I had a Christmas tree up year round in my studio. I should probably admit that I have hung a couple handmade ornaments from the bookshelf brackets in my studio because I just couldn’t bear to put them away till next Christmas:)

Thank you so much Laurie for being a sweet & generous friend! :) It totally brightened my day yesterday, especially since I got a jury summons in the mail too. (Which I am not overly thrilled with to say the least…)

Here are the outtakes from the owl photo shoot too… The cats were both oh so interested in him! Axel trying to steal him…

Pounce knocking Mr. Owl over…

There probably would have been outtakes from the goodies Lera sent me too, but since the soap has a bit of chocolate to it I was oh so careful to make sure the cats were not around when I took it:)

By the way, did anyone notice my new banner & that I added an “about me” page? :)
