Well that was my Thursday...Len Birthday coming in 2 days..house needed Mr.Clean (my man in a bottle) Cake needed to be bake but still didn't have the cake mix, food shopping to do company coming for Len's Big day...well you get the picture....Any how by eight that night I was wiped out..funny to have a party and have a good time to have to work yourself to death for it !!! Len go down and gets the mail late...we don't have mail boxes at our houses in the country...you have to go to the end of the road to our lock box and pick it up....
Now it Friday morning at 5:30 am and I go into the Kitchen to make my morning coffee... and see Len has left the mail in the sun room..hey that's good for him..usually I have to get it out of his truck...any how I see this box and its got my name on it...and its from Lynne now Lynne has a gift shop with just the most unique items I have ever seen...and I have ordered things from her in the past...but this box I didn't order....OK now here I am with my kitchen knife getting ready to ripped this apart when my Blogging sense's take hold of my brain...so I run and get my camera (see I am a good blogger ) snapped a real quick picture before I tear into this treasurer ..
OH I am doing the Picket Squeal now...a card....
Tossing paper all over my kitchen table...Oh what can it be from Lynne ???
Aren't these the sweetest little card holders you have ever seen...Just love these little flower pots with birds nest on them.. and Just look at that beautiful card she send me...This was just "I love you Gloria present"...Girls I just sat down with my coffee in hand and just cried...Lynne I can't say enough about your kindness to me and what your friendship have meant to me..I met Lynne on Rate my Space she is Decorator 101 so many of you know she always has a uplifting and kind word for everyone....We fast became friends when I stalked her space all the time..We join the same chat room together where I got to know this amazing woman even more on a personal level..Her amazing love she has for her Husband Bill just touched my heart (after 30 years of marriage) Her love for her Daughter and her pride and joy her grandson Bailey... Can you love someone you have never met ??? of course you can !!! I could never tell you the deep feelings I have for this wonderful woman or tell her...she works like a zillions hours a day but still will find time to email me and ask about my family and take time to pray for my baby Kyra...Lynne YOUR one in a million girl!!! I love you sis...oh yeah we adopted each other as sisters...I always wanted a sister and Boy did God hear my prays again..Now Lynne also has a blog http://lynnesgiftsfromtheheart.blogspot.com/ I am sure many have been to see her..but if you haven't PLEASE do her vignette's are just beautiful...Lynne and I both started our blogs at the same time..kinda like I Double dog dare you ha ha!!!
Again, thank you Lynne and thank above all else God for sending you into my life...
Hope all of you have a safe and blessed day...I sure have been blessed with my cyber friends...

This post just makes my heart sing! I love how so many friendships from RMS have endured. I met a few over there too that I still keep in touch with whether it be with blogging or email. This gift is so sweet and so thoughtful. I felt just like you when I got my package from Jessica that I won and saw the extra thought and care she had put into the extra things for me. You're a sweetheart and Lynne is too. You're right, she has beautiful vignette's! Now if I could just get you ladies all together and have an unlimited bank account so you could decorate my house!! LOL! Have a great day. Cindy
What a sweet post! CHEERS! Michele

Congratulations. You might want to rethink posting that picture; your privacy is compromised.

Sometimes an angel pops in just to say hi and give you a life. How sweet that was for you! Hugs!

Surprises like this are what keeps life so interesting. I agree with you about Lynne. She always "makes" whatever time it takes to stay close to her friends and family.
I feel a tablescape coming on. Can hardly wait to see what you do with the placecards.
Cute little card holders. They look wonderful with those linens. Lynne is a dear!! Sally

Gloria, darling... how incredibly sweet.. You made me cry like a baby darling. I'm so glad you like your "just because" gift. I truly appreciate your friendship and support. I've been so blest over these past few months getting to know you and your family. I truly feel like a part of it.

Sharing your beautiful home and family with us. May God continue to touch and bless you my friend. Just like the little lamp you sent me.. the light continues to stay on as our friendship grows. hugs ~lynne~
