Lucky Me!

Today I received 2 parcels in the post

The first was my prize from Roobarb Gifts blog giveaway - my daughter was certainly pleased with the sweets. Sarah owns a lovely shop in the village of Marsden and also has a website full of lovely things - thank you very much.

The second parcel was a real surprise from the lovely Rachel of Gingham Heart Crafts. I have only chatted with Rachel via facebook and my blog but she sent me this excellent little gift - a complete surprise. It's lovely and I will have to find a little spot for it in my studio, thank you ever so very much indeed.

I do feel very lucky, to have met some really lovely people via twitter, facebook and here on my blog - many I feel I could call friends although I have never met, some I have been lucky enough to meet at trade shows etc. I guess by just having a common interest, you converse at ease and genuinely enjoy 'virtually chatting' with like minded people but a day like today, really puts a smile on my face - thank you.
