Serendipity

I finally found out who won my little purse book in a recent auction. It was a former secret pal in California, and I was thrilled my book was going to someone I knew. Therefore, I packaged it nicely.......


...and included a little bonus, more Pocket Mod books in a wrapper with a ribbon closure.



It was well over ten years ago that I secretly sent things to Bonnie after being assigned to her. After all these years, she still raves about the goodies she received. A couple of years ago, she performed a random act of kindness and sent me a little handmade book, out of the blue, for no reason. As luck would have it, it arrived around my birthday, so it was a surprise to both of us!

Then last winter, I was talking online about not ever having been to a Trader Joe's store. She sent me a little surprise package with a couple of things from Trader Joe's (I think they were called Yummy Tummies, little fruit filled gummy penguins, and some Candied Walnuts). I sent her a thank you via a message written in snow on my deck....

Those are some of the penguin candies in the snow around the letters (and my plastic and cardboard lettering tool)...
It really is a small world when you get right down to it. So today, celebrate friendships, fun, and serendipity!

Meanwhile, I'll be entertaining myself...

Give me a P...


Give me an A...


Give me a T...


What does that spell?

(TAP backwards????)
