Random kind act….giving & receiving

Rats 4^th time I am here in word now trying to get this damn post published……

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Michelle for the wonderful little parcel that was here waiting for me when I returned from work yesterday….It all started with a comment about a lovely little box of soap….then there was a kind email offering me my own box, how could a girl refuse that I ask and then a parcel sent to someone she barely knew. My faith in human kindness restored. Thank you again Michelle….and here it is in its new home and I can't decide whether to use it as it smells so nice. (in case you were wondering I save my eggshell to use in my whites wash sparkly cottons)

So to repay this act of kindness & balance the karma I have sent Michelle some liberty bunting…..I hope you enjoy Michelle

I really like the idea of swaps & giveaways and definitely will be doing more in the future. In fact I have just signed up for my first international swap here, a tote bag. I can't wait to find out who my swap partner is…it reminds me of when I got my first penpal Merinda Sutherland, Wallacetown New Zealand I was aged 9 and we wrote to each other until we were in our early 20's when we sadly lost touch. I still wonder from time to time when her life took her…so if by some remotely slim chance you ever read this Min get in touch!!!

My new found love of blogging/reading blogs is a bit like waiting for those letters on the mat, although not quite as personal and much more instant but nevertheless gives you a snap shot into the amazing lives of others especially when you live in a small rural village & don't get to meet that many people. So a big thank you to all those bloggers out there you are my lifeline…..
