I just had to show you what the mailman brought today!!! I got another box of goodies from a swap partner. This swap was themed 'vintage owl' swap. I used to collect owl 'things' when I was younger. I remember getting this HUGE stuffed owl for a birthday...I have to hunt for a picture of it now...I think that same birthday I got one of those electronic football games and a barry manilow album...EEEKK! Well, my swap partner sent me the cutest goodies!! The little guy came in an egg. He's one of those felted guys. The kind that you pull and poke into shapes...Well, I've seen them, been intrigued by the process, but never had seen one in person until now! He is ssooo cute. He really has a personality. While the other great owl statues made their way to my shelf, the little guy has a key spot on my computer desk.

I wasn't sure if I showed the picture of the owl that I sent, but here it is. I had made these pompons and they were a little crazy to use for anything. But, I couldn't imagine the owl traveling across the globe without any creature comforts, so I added them to the box as his 'nest'. I'm sure that he made it happily and safely. I haven't heard from the partner that I sent to, but I sure hope she enjoys him...

The birthday week is almost coming to a close! It has been long! I received a nice little flowering plant at work from Lane for Valentines. He sent it all the way to Georgia where I was training. You know a girl loves getting things at work from her man - it really makes him look good! ALL women want to show off treats from her man - to show she is loved! And that she has a thoughtful man!! I crafted some really cute hearts for the family and made a little felt puppy for Logan. He's got a red bow around his tail and a red heart collar around his neck. They turned out cute - I sure hope my family isn't tired of getting crafts for holidays...I don't want to know if they are - because they will just keep coming!!

My sister sent me the cutest 'candy holder'. She took a regular 'soup like' can, painted (stained?) it pink, added a beaded wire around it and topped it off with a squished coin with a stamped heart on it! WOW! Talk about a great item - here it is!!!
