The Kindness of Strangers

For a little added fun this holiday season I decided to participate in a few gift exchanges.  Stacy organized a great little game where you write a few details about yourself - music you like, favorite places to travel, hobbies, favorite food, and someone will send you a box of surprises. Imagine my delight when a lovely woman named Becky who I've never met and probably never will sent me this.



Turns out Becky is also a card designer - be still my heart!  And she knew exactly what I'd love - a hand-made card, some homemade macaroons (recipe below!), a book to read on my Christmas vacation and a Christmas mix to go with it!

Then Caroline went straight to my weakness - tempting me with her calendar exchange and the darling Ashley sent me a sweet little treat.


The bunny card just cracked me up! I was even more thrilled by the lovely calendar and notepad. They'll both be perfect for my purse.  (I carry a big purse!)



There are so many fabulous, talented, kind and generous people in the world and I feel lucky to be connected to two more. Thank you so much for your wonderful gifts ladies.

May your holidays be bright and merry!
