Hey Foxy Friends!
This post is long over due.
I am definitely a behind blogger.
A blogger that is behind?
A blogger with a behind!
{hehe}
I’m late.
Yeah, that’s it.
I’m Late.
So, here is my story about a sweet surprise!
One day, I’m on the phone with my mom.
(this happens daily, so no, that’s not the surprise.)
When Austin decides to get the mail.
He returns, and puts a package on my desk.
Behindedness
(a Shannonism)
Case in point; postmark, JUNE 18th
Hmm… I didn’t order anything?
And I know I didn’t order anything from
I would remember that!
Followed by; “Hey, How did she get my address!?”
And then a… Oh, lets see!?
All the while, giving my mom the whole
play-by-play on the phone!
The mystery was solved pretty quickly when I opened it up to find a sweet note, to go along with the sweet surprise.
Well, It was this beautiful necklace…
On this pretty Necklace Card.
At first glance…
I noticed the “aqua” turquoise.
But then, I slipped it to the side,
and discovered this…
First off. It’s gorgeous.
{great work Carmella!!}
Totally “me”.
but seeing my blog name…
Yeah.
Choked me up.
and suddenly made it all feel so,
real.
I realized.
in that moment.
just how much…
this blog
and
all of you mean.
So.
The moral of this story?
When Miss Fresh likes something of yours…
Like, oh say…
Send It To Her.
You never know what you might get back? lol
Take care now…

This was a really nice post, made me feel like I was there as you were surprised with your gift. However, was I the only one who first wondered how that statue fit in that mailer…..without breaking? I’m a geek sometimes.
