Blog Friends Are Great....

   I want you all to see what I received in the mail yesterday.  It was this wonderful hand crafted sachet from Debbie at Lakehouse.  I met Debbie thru blogging ....she's awesome.
  She used to send me and my daughter(who was fighting breast cancer) sweet cards .She sent us many prayers. My daughter was constantly on my mind and some times my heart was heavy.  It was as if Debbie could read my mind at times...because she would send me a card just when I would be stressed to the limit. She has become a true friend. I am blessed.
    When I opened the package, Debbie sent me , I could smell the lavender...oh I love that smell so much. So I am keeping it out where I can enjoy this fragrance. Thank you Debbie.
    Hope everyone is loving this day. It's beautiful here today.  I heard it snowed in Michigan...yikes too soon.  Smile today. XO

  2. Hi DD, just met you today....so glad to. Making friends thru blogging has helped me not feel so alone thru the winter months, you know when we can't go as much. :):) It's fun to write about something and have others let you know you are not the only one going thru something. We can laugh at ourselves and along with others. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  3. What a lovely handmade sachet! It is a blessing when blog friends seem to sense we need a word from them that day. Sometimes I share a worry by email with a few blog friends and then can go on, knowing that they are praying for my family. And the best thing about blogging is making pen pals of the heart!

    I know that when you see this pretty sachet and run your fingers over the workmanship, you feel a bond with a friend who is thinking of you.

    I hope you have a lovely weekend, Susie,
