A surprise package, swaps, pay it forward gifts, A WIN, and life

Now if that is not a Title for you, okay I promise not to get too mushy here

But, I have had one of those weeks. I won't go into a great deal of detail. 

It is just one of those touchy situations where a loved one in your life confuses you enough to have you searching for answers as to why they handle

some things the way they do
Edited yet once again I was informed it would be best to revise this and remove what I had written due to who may read it
so on with the story LOL

I figured out that I was doing wrong at searching for answers and realized the thing that is bothering me was better off given to the Lord

So I have been a little behind but am proud to say I am back on track and working hard

I have a few more items to finish and put on my sale

I just made a run to the Post Office and on my way home stopped and checked the mail box, a great online friend sent me a pattern *this is for wood* but I am doing them in fabric and no I am not showing you until I get them made LOL

I opened the package and she sent me a goodie with the pattern

I had told her I was doing my kitchen in chickens and roosters

Just look at this sweet magnet Thank you Barb

You will have to pay a visit to Barb's Heartstrokes

She has a wonderful giveaway going on right now

But there was another package something I was not expecting in the mail at all

This awesome prairie Bonnet

WOW ok now I am in tears here this bonnet is from

Lecia of Farmhouseprims

Inside was a sweet little card and I have to share what Lecia had to say

"Brenda, you just give and give and give! I wonder if anyone ever gives to you.

This isn't much, but I want you to know that you are appreciated!"

"Prim Hugs"

And Big giant Prim Hugs back to you Lecia what a wonderful thing to say

my answer to this is Yes maybe not in the form of gifts but the simple

friendships I have made the wonderful customers I have

all of this means so much to me

I awake everyday and thank God for my gift and praise him for the chance to stay at home and share that gift with others!! I love to GIVE, and in return I do not expect a thing but do feel extremely blessed to have met some amazing people and

Barb and Lecia you are two of those

I also wanted to let all of those that signed up for a pay it forward gift

I will be shipping those on Saturday

OK so when I hit Publish I got an email and I can not believe this

And you want to talk about a giving person an individual who is such a tremendous

inspiring Lady

Colleen of Andbabymakesfive

just sent me an email and informed me I am the winner of her Easter Whimsy giveaway

BIG HUGS Colleen I am so Happy!!

And in closing I will leave you with this thought

*always remember something that when you give from your heart

you truly do get paid back, if nothing but the simple act of kind

words that may come your way, don't give to expect but give because you

love it you love to share and be kind to others*

God Bless

Brenda
