You've Got Mail

Who doesn't love getting mail? No, I'm not talking about all the junk mail and bills... I mean the good stuff. If you are anything like me, the good stuff is very few compared to the not so fun mail, but maybe that's what makes it so special. I was so excited when my mail carrier brought my mail to the door a couple days ago and it was "fun" mail! The thought occurred to me, if good mail can brighten my day the way it does, I should really be sending out more "just because" packages to others to brighten there day as well. Wouldn't that be fun? A sweet surprise, totally unexpected! I must do more of that this year.

I'll share one of the sweet packages I received; it came from the talented Kelly Berkey! Yay! Her card had one of my favorite paintings of hers on the front. Isn't it beautiful?! Her faces are so dreamy... LOVE them!

And inside was a beautiful artist necklace she made me! Wow, what a treasure!

Thank you so much Kelly! I hope to share the special feeling you gave me to others this year.
To see more of Kelly's beautiful paintings and jewelry be sure to visit her etsy shop. Enjoy!

Awe, I was just sending the love back that you'd send me earlier! I'm so glad you love your necklace. If life can't be about spreading joy and love, then what is it all about, anyway? So glad you were surprised.

Hugs to you!!

Kelly

The card is beautiful! I love getting fun surprises in the mail and I mail them out regularly too. Just little things. Maybe something I have that I don't use, something I rec'd that is perfect for someone and then the little things I make just for that person.

Have a wonderful day!
