A few days ago I told you to enter for a chance to win a Mrs. Meyers book. Amazingly, I won the drawing!!! I was thrilled! It was the second day of school, and I was having an I-can't-homestead-and-work-full-time meltdown when I saw the package sitting on the deep freezer. It took a moment to remember what could be coming in the mail. I was just expecting a book, but I picked up the box I got a whiff of my favorite herb (Which I can not grow to save my life!) and felt the weight of the box. I knew that there was more than just a book inside. Melissa put so much thought and love into the things she sent. When I opened it... wow! I was just speechless. Inside were a delightful apron that makes me think of Holly Hobby and Little House on the Prairie, a precious doily, a peach colored, heart shaped pin keep, homemade goat's milk soap, Never Lose Heart, by Joyce Meyer, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home, a set of homemade note cards with matching adorable envelopes, a spray of lavender, and get this, a thank you card!!! Can you believe that? Melissa was thanking me for taking the time to read her blog! Her generous spirit flowed from the contents of that box and enriched my life in ways far beyond those tangible gifts! I was simply overwhelmed. It was interesting how perfectly her gifts fit my tastes, too. Peach is one of my favorite colors, and I have a LOT of heart stuff. (My husband asked me after about five years of marriage, "You have a thing for hearts, don't you?" I had never thought about it, but when I started looking around I discovered that apparently, I do!) LOL! Thank you so much, Melissa! Your gifts are treasured!
