Thank You!!!!!

Happy Thursday.

I went out for a "mental health" day today.

That is what I call a day with a girlfriend to shop and eat!!!!

It was only 14 degrees here but the sun was out so we had a great time.

I came home and found this surprise on my door step and wanted to share it with you and say a big thank you to Vera for gifting me with one of her special creations.

Vera from Rowhomes and Cobblestones not only writes the best poems and stories she also makes beautiful creative treasures. One item she makes is pillow on beautiful velvet and puts the cutest sayings on them.

Here is the one she sent me and I have to say it is so cute and I am going to keep it on my office chair.

Is this not the cutest pillow ever?!!!! Love the "gone junkin" saying and the cute little rhinestones and the cream tassel ends.

She had this sweet little bunny card in the box along with the sweetly wrapped pillow.

Here it is up close so you can see the cute rhinestones on the j and i. Adorable!!!

If the pillow was not cute enough she also included CHOCOLATE!!!! Yep does she know me or what. She had me at Chocolate!!!! Vera I am so happy I have met you in blog world and we have become friends. Your sweet soul shines through with your special writings on your blog. Thank you for gifting me with the special handmade pillow. I will treasure it. I will also make love to the heart chocolate later wink, wink!

Speaking of giving hearts, please come back on Saturday I have a really special blogger that will touch your heart with her beautiful feature.

Nothing like a day out with friends to replenish some serotonin in the brain. Of course chocolate and shopping helps too. Isn't the blog world grand?
