It was a great mail day!!!

You gotta love the postman on day like today. I was truly blessed with all the packages that were sitting at my door when I came home this afternoon.

First, my Firefly Secret Pal sent me this wonderful gift of an antique mooncake form. What an awesome present!!! She also sent me a paper describing the origin of the Moon Festival and the signifigance of the mooncakes. You can read about it here. Isn't that just the coolest???

She also sent along the most fabulous books in the package. The are the sweetest stories and we can't wait to read them to our Gracie!!! Thank you to my Firefly Secret Pal, this first month has just been awesome!!!


There was another big package at the door too, this one came from my CCAI secret pal. I know what your thinking, "Two Secret Pals"? but oh this is so much fun how could I resist? Besides I justify the fact these gifts are not for me anyway...they are for Grace. Look at the cute Cabbage Patch Doll that my CCAI secret pal sent. She is so adorable!!! Her name is Camilla Meredith and I think she is just perfect for Grace. What a lucky little girl!!! Thank you so much!!!


Now the presents did not stop there either. Last month I won the prize for the cutest scrapbook pages in my Yahoo Scrapbook exchange group, The Ladybug Hunters. Below is the prize I received for winning last month. It is a great BH&G book called Creative Scrapbooking All Seasons. I will get some great inspiration for the months to come in the book! I also posted my pages but I really think it was the cute paper I used that help me win. How could anyone not fall in love with the little baby in the tub after all?

I also received three envelopes in the mail with quilt swaps that were fabulous too. So, you see...it was a great mail day!!!
