It's Been A Mail-a-palooza!


When I lived in my house in Georgia, my daughter had painted on the inside of the mailbox "I love gettin' mail!" along with a smiley face. My mail carrier told me she never failed to smile when she opened my mailbox.  But I do, I do love getting mail! And I got a lot of it this week!  


My daughter, Becca, sent me a package from Colorado. She had been on a trip to New Mexico a couple weeks ago, and bought that purty chili ristra for me.  She also sent the fabric for me to finish her quilt:
 
and a loaf of gluten free bread from Udi's Bakery in Parker, Colorado:

 

And when I opened the box, I also found her green ink pen she hasn't been able to find. thanks Becca!

 


I loved that bread so much, I ordered a case of it for myself, and it arrived only two days later! all the way from Parker to Greensboro, Alabama:

 
  
I saw this fabric online a month or so ago on Etsy in one yard lengths, and had been trying to find  a seller with three yards in one piece. I was so happy to find it! It's called Fairy Tip Toes, and it is soooo cute.  It was also delivered to me this week. I have to make a baby quilt for my new FabGrandchild that is due in May. In case I haven't mentioned it yet, my son's wife, Sarah is having a baby! We'll find out in two weeks whether it is a boy or a girl. I am so hoping it is a girl so I can use this fabric. But, it it's not, I'll just make something for FabGrandaughter, Sarah, with it. 




And. the last thing I got in the mail was a new copy of "The Essential Gluten Free Grocery Guide".I love this book! I can find out really quick if something I want to buy is on "the list" or not.


Ooooooo, I can hardy wait for next week to see if I get anything good in the mail!

Hope your freezer was empty. That's a lot of bread. Love the fairy fabric! Would look cute in a quilt.

Is Fabgrandpa better?

that was a fun mail day! And not even Christmas yet. I clicked on your d-i-l's blog -- she will have to change the name of it when she has her baby! How fun that you are a blogging family.

Hope your hubby is well?

Congratulations on your fab grandbaby-in-the-oven! If you learn that it's a boy, the fabric would make something precious for Fab Sarah.
