I have a big smile on my face today. And what has prompted my big smile? Well, it's this lovely little package...
It's always a delight to get a package in the mail, especially one that is so prettily wrapped and one that contains something eagerly anticipated, but not yet seen. I pulled one end of the gingham ribbon and revealed...
...the beautiful block that I won in Annie's lovely giveaway to celebrate her year of blogging. It comes from the very talented Fee who has some wonderfully desirable items in her shop Chipper Nelly.
I will treasure this block with its pretty vintage button and perfect-for-me-colours and will keep it on the shelves next to the computer, where I can see it every day. Like all of my other gathered treasures, it will prompt thoughts about the very best bits of blogging: of fellowship with people you've not met for real; of sharing interests, ideas and passions and celebrating all forms of creativity.
Thanks Annie and thanks Fee

PS: thanks for all of the kind comments on the little video of Toby in the previous post. I'm so glad that you all saw what I saw - that unbridled joy. It does make you laugh out loud to see him like that and such carefree, all-consuming pleasure and delight is infectious. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.

PPS: It's Mothers day here in the UK tomorrow, so best wishes to all you lovely mummies out there - hope you get breakfast in bed and a relaxing day!
