Get it, eggcellent, Easter, arghahaha! Okay, I am over myself. I am so thrilled, I am really not to blame for my gushing silliness!
You have to love anything that comes in a package that says this.....
I ordered this STUNNING piece of Jewelry from GoddessFindings! I have several relatives that are jewelers and I worked for my uncle for years, so I know well made goodies when I see them! This is not only gorgeous but extremely well constructed!!!
Please take into consideration, this is a self arm portrait. They are not as easy to take, as you would think.
Isn't it just sooooo lovely???
Then just to see if southern girls really swoon, Janice sent these....
I did not swoon but came darn close! I LOVE them too!!!
Then my Pay It Forwards arrived! Both of them, no waiting for, up to a year here! I have some big shoes to fill!
This little package from CurlyPops came all the way from Australia!
Oh yummy, look it is pink and pretty stuff!
Oh not only did she send an apron but a headband as well! You know, I am all about the headband/scarves thing now!!!
I tried self portraits of the headband. However, the photos would scare small children so you just have to assume it is gorgeous! I just love it all, thank you Cam!!!!!
If I did not know better I would swear that Jan was my neighbor, she knows me so well! This PIF from Daylily Lane was spectacular! Even the box was pretty, those butterflies were too cute!
Check out these goodies!!!!!
This is a magnet! I do not know if you can tell, but those are three of the prettiest ink pens wrapped up in there!
I love butterflies and spring, just look at what else Jan sent!
Plus, she made me some friendship cards! Wow, they are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Some lucky folks will be getting these in the mail!!!
But, the cutest and funniest thing ever was that Bentley received a PIF from Jan too!
He was thrilled, just look at what he got! Yep, that is his fav, Curious George hanging there with some fabulous banana candy! Isn't that so creative!
All was right with the primate world! Until.....
I made him share!
Bentley and I cannot thank you enough Jan! You have brought a ton of smiles and laughter to our home! You really do rock, love ya!!!!
I am sorry if I missed telling anyone, but Happy (late) Saint Patrick's Day!
Now don't you know, I really turned hubby on wearing these babies!
I will be away from blogland until next week. So I want to leave you with some Easter and spring photos.
Can you believe that I have had this egg for over 20 years, it is made out of sugar and icing!
I hope you have a wonderful Good Friday, weekend, Easter, and spring! Til next week! Lots of Love!
Happy Easter.
That`s the prettiest Easter Egg I`ve seen this year.

I remember those sugar eggs. My friends always got them and I wanted one so bad...I ended up at eight years old stealing one from a store (terrible) and then of course I ate it. It was disappointingly bad and hard. I'm just telling you so you don't get the urge to eat yours after 20 years! :)

I'm laughing so hard right now at your comments:
"I tried self portraits of the headband. However, the photos would scare small children so you just have to assume it is gorgeous!"
and
"Now don't you know, I really turned hubby on wearing these babies!" I can barely type!! LOL
You are to cute and funny for words :)
I love that egg you made!
What wonderful goodies you recieved! I'll have to go check out their blogs. I hope Bentley isn't too sad about having to share ;)
Have a Happy Easter my friend!!
hugs,
Rue :)

Loads of loveliness there, Leigh, although I really think you should have been brave and posted the self-portrait! Scary? I think not - remember we've all seen how pretty you are!
I hope you're having a great Easter.
:)

Happy Easter! What fantastic post you have. Beautiful goodies. Blogland and I look forward to your return.

You rock! LOL You are like a little kid with the thrills about mail. Although, if I were getting the goodies that you *are* in the mail, I may be just as thrilled!

Hope you had a lovely Eater sorry Easter with all those yummy goodies. Jane x

I just love you to little bitty pieces! You are one of the truly REAL human beings! Gorgeous bracelet! And - hey - I LOVE those socks! (Note: I ALMOST actually wrote SOCKATIN'-ES. When I was teaching my 5 year old daughter Spanish, she could never remember the word calcetines & combined the 2 to make her OWN 'Spanish' word for socks!) Anyway! I love YOUR sockatin'es! LOL! And poor Bentley having to share with naughty Nac Nac! You absolutely deserve every 'pretty' you get in the mail or otherwise, sweet girl! You're a TREASURE & a pure JOY!
