I won, I won, I won, I won!!!!!

….I got a brown box in the mail today.. could it be???…. yes!!!  It’s the package from Buffie…

Texas 003

All other plans were put aside.. I had to open this box and see the 118 things she had come up with!!!! ;-)

You see.. she missed her 100th post, and noticed it on her 118th post.. so she promised the 18th commenter 118 things!!!  and I won…. I had the advantage of being off from work that day… and could check in more frequently than most of the other sweet ladies!

Ladies… are you anxiously waiting for me to open this box?? Oh.. ok…. First thing I noticed when I opened the box was this wonderful scent! Mmmm… something in there smells really good!! Then I saw this:

Texas 018

Oh… sweet Buffie had sent me a postcard with the Texan armadillo!!!!! (belive it or not, but I have petted one) the card is prettier and more vibrant in its color in real life.. I had to turn off the flash for these pictures.

Anyway… I know, I know.. off to what she had sent me….

Texas 016

did she expect me to count all these stars and hearts??? Are there 118??

There were alot more I did count!! ;-) hehe….. no… I am just kidding!!  But I did figure out that there had to be over 400!!!!! Way more than she had promised!!!  hahaha!!!  NO.. all jokes aside…….take a look at this :

There was a theme in the box.. suddenly it all turned into lavender… every little thing was wrapped in lavender colored silk paper…

Take a look at what she sent me:

Isn’t it just wonderful.. I wish you all could smell the lovely scents these presents send out….. but it didn’t stop there… look at this lovely lavender jewelry box she sent me….

Texas 017

I sat down to read… and it turned out it was full of the most gorgious pictures  from the state of Texas… and do you know what?? It really worked on me…. I WANT TO GO THERE!!!!

Breathtaking !!!!

And here’s everything

Thank you so very much Buffie!!! A simple thank just doesn’t do these wonderful things justice!!! I so wish I could have given you a great big hug!!!
