~~Treasures~~

This week I received some lovely treasures. Victoria at Vintage Tea was having a tag give away and look at this darling tag I won. Thank you , Victoria...I just love it! Victoria is a very talented artisan...if you've never visited her sweet blog, pop over for a visit and say hello.
I recently participated in my first pay it forward and look at the treats Michelle at I'm A Little Teapot sent me. My package was wrapped and tied with the cutest green ribbon (one of my most favorite colors) and the M&M's were tucked under the ribbon. Too cute. Look what what I received...
Green garden gloves which I sure needed ( does she have ESP or what), the cutest watermelon notepad.....how did she know I collect watermelon, green polka dot ribbon, candy and the most wonderful.........
hand stitched book marker... it's magnetic, how cool is that. To get a closer look click on the picture. This is a true gift form the heart and I love it. When I joined her PIF she had several words and asked me to choose one I especially liked. Well, they were all very special words, I liked them all and I chose Faith and I'm so glad I did. It is very personal.....but with Faith all things are possible.
I haven't decided which book I'll be using my marker with...my Bible, my inspiration reads, or my gratitude journal.........but wherever, I will always love it and think of my wonderful friend.

To each and everyone one of my sweet friends, happy days to you. Hugs, Linda xoxo
p.s. I would love to get another Pay It Forward started. This is how it works--I will send a handmade gift to the first three people to leave a comment on my blog requesting to join the PIF. I don't know what the gift will be and you may not receive it next week, but I promise you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is to make the same promise on your blog. If anyone is interested the first three to join in with their promise to PIF will receive a handmade gift from me. I hope this makes sense~~~ Linda
