A BIG Surprise!

Good Morning Friends!

I love to get a present I was not expecting.  The only thing that I love more is when it is a handmade present!

As some of you know, I have been struggling lately.  I am in good hands, I have a very good psychiatrist and therapist.  But going to therapy and telling the truth about the things that have happened in my life is so hard.  I get very down some days;yesterday was one of those days.  Then the mail came and with it a surprise gift from my best bloggy friend Rhonda from Scrap Happens.  We have so much in common that we say we are "Sistas from another Mista".  Rhonda, it is a good thing that you put some tissues in that box because I cried and cried when I opened that box.  It was not only your note and that you were kind enough to think of me, it was that you remembered that I love owls!

So here is the calendar book that Rhonda made me...keep in mind that she made this out of a gift bag!  So talented!

Here is the front.




I am going to show you some of the inside pages so you can see how cute this is!






Isn't this wonderful?  I am going to have a hard time using it because it is so cute!  But I will use it and treasure it forever!  Thank you so much my friend.  Just knowing that I have people out there that love me and are rooting for me to fight this illness makes all the difference in the world...oh, now I am crying again...they are tears of joy!

Even the box she sent it in was decorated!



Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Thank you for being so kind to me!

Hugs,
