reciprocity rules!!

I'm starting to feel rather preachy about gratitude and generosity, but it is just the honest truth that it fuels itself! Look at the cute stuff Amy sent me!! She brought it back from Paper Source (can you believe she held off because she was worried about presentation?! Just throw it in a paper sack, the cute things speak for themselves!!)

It is one of the most delightful experiences on earth to open your mailbox on an ordinary, busy Wednesday and find it blocked by a package. An unexpected gift from an unknown source filled with unimaginable goodness! The anticiaption of opening this gift... the thought of the person sending it... REALLY! There is not much better than this!

If you feel like you're missing out, do something for someone! Because it makes people want to do things in return and then it keeps going and you end up with so much goodness that brings you joy and happiness and blogging material!

THANK YOU Amy!! I am giddy right now! A whole bundle of tags, the cutest hot pink ribbon, the 'J' and the accordian book (which you know I can't wait to make!)... all wrapped in pink paper and bright green tissue! A box of thoughtful delights! It TOTALLY made my day!

Your thank-you post is much better written than mine, but I feel just like you do.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm starting to catch the fever of good mail and giving. How I didn't have it before with friends like you guys is hard to understand, but there it is.

Great pictures, as usual. Perhaps you have too many talents...hence the busyness!

It is fun to read all of the cool stuff you guys do for each other. You are all "lucky" to have such friendships.

I can't wait to hear about Women's Conference and your booth.
