From across the pond and waiting for 8 hours

Look at these happy faces! My sweet English sister, Lindsay, was my partner in the Summer Berry Swap and I do believe she sent us every wonderful berry item in England! She spoiled our whole family! She sent Katie the most darling cherry purse, strawberry gummy candies, a raspberry scented pencil and a lollipop!

She sent Mandy the cutest cherry watch! She only takes it off when she goes to sleep at night.:) Mandy also got wonderful candies and a strawberry scented pencil!

Oh my goodness! Look at all the wonderful goodies! Lindsay sent me strawberry ice cube makers (in the fridge right now!), a cranberry and chocolate bar for my husband, a darling cherry make up bag, Laura Ashley brads (CUTE!), berry colored lipsticks and gloss in a gorgeous bag, berry teas, a strawberry bath sponge, raspberry coconut chocolates, a lovely magazine, and beautiful strawberry hand towels! Plus, look at the strawberry container they are in! How cute is that!!!

Look at this... Lindsay made this for our families and it truly touched my heart. The American flag and English flag are together. Just like our families. This is such a treasure, Linday.:)

And look at this beautiful cross stitching of blueberries! Lindsay made this just for me! It takes my breath away just looking at it!

I am afraid to use it as it may get dirty, but I will use it and think of you everywhere I go, dear friend.:)

Jessica (my niece :) ) sent us the most thoughtful letters, too. Thank you, Jessica! You and your Mom are both gifted letter writers.:)

I just had to show you what I made tonight. I got the recipe here. I used vanilla pudding instead of chocolate. Once you make it you have to wait 8 hours to eat it. Yeah, right.
