Spring Cleaning and Mail

Wow, I have received some GREAT mail over the last week or so!  The talented and understanding Laura of My Little Orange Kitchen fame, sent me an AWESOME feel good package!  I can truly say that I adore everything in it! Laura, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the package and just knowing things!  She is truly one of those people that I am going to be able to say "I knew her when"!  You just wait and see!  I am going to be such a name dropper!!!!

Are you asking "what is in that gorgeously wrapped package"?

My latest weakness!  Tea! 

and......

My girl!  Isn't she BEAUTIFUL, in the truest sense of the word?!?!?!  I am "obsessed" with her!

With the last week or so, I can say that this package was SO perfect!  Great smell good things, Great feel good things and a Great book to read while waiting patiently (bull@^!*) in waiting rooms for someone to call out my name!  How hard is it to say Leigh?  Apparently pretty hard.  I have been called Leaha, Lay and my favorite Leg!

I ordered one of Beata's Mariska dolls!

 

I have one word for her - adorable!!

As most of you know, I am a huge fan of Alicia Paulson's of Posie Gets Cozy!  When I found out that she had more kits to make clothespin babies, with a spring theme this time, I had to order them as well! I had a ball making the Santa Lucia ones last winter!

Yummy packaging!

That cute little box held a doll made by the master herself!  Yes, I had to have one that she made and signed!!!

And...here is Willow in all her Posie glory!

Now that the pretty pictures have been shown, you have to see one of the reasons that I am not playing in blogland as much!

I am cleaning out my house from top to bottom!  So, hopefully next week I will be back to my normal happy blogging, crafting, painting self, haha!

At some point I asked myself, what happened to the boys that used to fit in these barely worn sometimes new clothes!

We are having a neighborhood yard sale/give to Goodwill day in a few weeks.  I will be ready this year (for the first time ever, haha)!

We survived Boo's birthday party but Bentley pretty much summed up the few days of birthday activities!

The rest of the week will include more doctor appointments and tests as well as cleaning and cleaning out, so bear with me! To lure you back for my next post, just wait till you see what three special princesses and a dear hubby got/made for me and Bentley! Now how many people do you know can type that sentence and mean it, teehee!!!!

what a fabulous parcel from Laura and goodies from Beata. Tell you what, it wouldn't need a party to make me look like Bentley it would simply be a mere consideration of Spring Cleaning! Go girl!
As for the clothespin dolls, I loved your Santa Lucia ones and can't wait to see your newest additions.

I hope you got my email earlier. Did you? I am (very) temporarily awake and decided to check a couple of blogs. It makes me so happy to see how many people love you! All your goodies are just wonderful! And if EVER there were a beautiful human being who deserves to be lavished with goodies, it's YOU! (Now Bentley, you stop being jealous! I said HUMAN BEING. You're a darling monkey-person!!)

Hey heys Girl,
I've an almost 13 y/o and I'm wondering where the time went too... Glad you're back and that Bentley's recovering ok from the bash!

Looks like the big tidy up is keeping you pretty busy. I do love a good clearout! And then you have the added bonus of receiving such wonderful treats in the mail.
Will definitely go and have a look at your links.
Cheers.

Leigh,
I am loving all the great things you posted on. The dolls and goodies are wonderful! I know about cleaning out stuff, we just had a garage sale on Saturday with the neighborhood. I am tired! Sad to hear of more appointments for you :>( I have also been away from blogging for awhile. We'll be in touch soon! Hugs, Jan
