I am one of the luckiest bloggers ever! Thanks to blogland I have met three lovely princesses from across the pond! If you don't believe me, I have proof, just look at the stamp on the package I received from them, teehee!
I am talking some serious goodies, in this package from the royal girls! Just look!
I LOVE everything! I was so excited, I almost wet myself! Please remember that I have had two children it can happen!) I was squealing! WOOHOO!
Then for some total inspiration! I know what you are thinking! But, I will be able to do more than scarves one day, I will!
I was so perky at this point, I am pretty sure that hubby thought I needed to be sedated!
Oh yeah, my first ever English tea!! Delicious!! Uh Ah, ribbon bits, LOVE them too!!
Can there be more, you bet ya! Needles and my weakness, babies!! The red needles are gorgeous! The smaller pack holds my first DPN's! Yes, I am a little intimidated, but that has never stopped me!
The larger of the two babies is a Little Schmoo, (I think I got that right!) I have wanted one since The Queen (aka Scarletti) made her first one! I tried to convince her to sell her goodies, she is a total talent I tell ya! So, I AM TOTALLY EXCITED TO HAVE ONE OF MY VERY OWN!! The smaller of the two, is just perfectly adorable! I have named her Dimity. She has lavender in her from an English Garden!!!
With all of that being said, you must hear the rest of the story! Yep, Bentley had to get involved! Can you imagine?
Wait! What is this? No jealousy? Instant love? Hey monkee, what is up? Oh, I get it! He loves their accent! It does not hurt that they are pretty girls that like hugs!
The very next morning they had to show him that they arrived the same way that he did
What a cute trio!
Now I have to tell you the best and the most horrible part of this story! There were two more things in that package. Bentley's and my favorite things to be precise!
He got this very own artwork card!
He even let us read it!
I am pretty sure this is one of the sweetest things that Bentley ever got in the mail (me too for that matter).
All was great, until......
l got to read the second card! It was for me too! I was thrilled, more so than getting a bloggy-award-thrilled, I tell ya! But, that brought up an issue! Bentley refused to share. He said that it was his, all his!
I am here to tell you that under that little primate hand it says Leigh, it does! So now we battle! I put the cards out for everyone to see, and he steals them. I find them, put them out, he steals and hides them! I will win!
Rose, Saffron and Alice - Bentley and I thank you girls so much! Your artwork is gorgeous! We do love the cards and ya'll too. Charlotte, thank you for the goodies, offering your shoulders and being my psychic twin! I am in our parallel universe giving you the biggest hug ever!
Let's see, is there a way to get Leigh to excercise more? I do believe hubby found the way!
Isn't she gorgeous?
I have a white basket to go on her, that way YaYa and Bentley can go too. But, I really want a wicker basket! Yippee, thanks and love ya honey! I hope I have time to ride on her this weekend!
Now for one of the scary parts of my life......
All of this, plus more not shown came out of Boo's closet! I am still cleaning out the house. It is going to take me longer than expected. Please bear with me until Spring cleaning is over and I am back to blogland in force. In case you are wondering. We got his closet all cleaned out, nice and neat!
Leigh = Broken record. I have more doctor appointments this week. This sounds like last week. I thought I would be through cleaning and having tests ran but I guess not. I will be around soon though, love ya and thanks for putting up with me till this is over!
Thanks for sharing your mail with us, what a lot you get.
Hope the spring cleaning and the tests go well for you.

I'm smiling SO BIG to see all the love people give you! You deserve every single OUNCE of it! Your goodies are wonderful, and you can now sit, knit, and have a 'proper' tea! LOL! VERY royal, my 'deah'! Bently and your new babies can join you! (LOVE those shots of Bentley being a sweet boy!) The bike? Wow! Hubby gets an A+ in this retired teacher's book! A pink laptop AND a pink bike? THAT'S AWESOME! You don't get too carried away with all that cleaning till you are 100% on top of your game. Don't make me go up there & play nursie! Heehee! LOVE YOU!

It's always such a joy to come and see what you and Bentley are up to!! Great things in the mail--wow! And those cards....the best! I can't really blame Bentley for wanting to steal them. That pic of him and the new girl looking in the mailbox is so sweet, just made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Have fun with your beautiful new bike and sending up prayers that your tests all turn out well.
Smiles, Karen

Hi Leigh, I received my beautiful parcel in the mail yeasterday. You are very very naughty because you paid a small fortune in postage to get those mags all the way down under to me! I love them very much and I also love the beautiful selection of pink fabrics (my fave colour) and the gorgeous handmade card. Thankyou so so so so so much!!!!!

We're so glad all the goodies arrived and that Bentley has been such a welcoming host. The baby girls look great in the sun, they were so excited about emigrating. Looks like they'll be very happy! xx

Leigh,
Loved the babies from across the pond and don't you love the "royal air" experience? Makes you feel pretty regal doesn't it? Bentley is so cute with the new "girls". I'm proud of him. I remember having a bike like this with a white flower basket too! Bentley and all his friends can come along for the ride! A splendid gift from hubby, he's a keeper, and so is the bike!! Hope to see you back to blogging soon, You are missed my friend! Hugs, Jan@daylilylane

Everything is so cute and I'm glad Bentley has a few non-primate girlfriends!
I love the bike...How tall are you? I'm very short and it actually looks like your bike would fit me...my legs barely reach the pedals on mine and it doesn't help that my rear end makes me sit higher (like many inches higher!)...

I know you must be livin right (like the old folks say) with all the "just because" packages that you get :-) You are a sweet lady and surely deserve it all.. I tried english tea for the first time lately and it was VERY good.. I have never had loose tea before though.. anyhow, thanks for being so kind to always comment on my blog and my flickr :-)
