O SHOOT!

I tried so hard last night to get online to post - I could get it to pull up ,but when it came to where you write your post it had that little circle thingy that just kept going round and round and round. I even walked off and left it one time and 30 minutes later it was still going round and round and round. After a hour and half I finally had to give up and call it quits. :( I don't know what was causing it -but at least I could not blame it on a sewing machine this time.! :)

Look at this! This is what I found in our mailbox this afternoon and it came all the way from IRELAND! I was soooo excited that I could hardly contain myself. I just had to "Pace" myself so I could enjoy the thrill as long as I could. :)

IF it could talk -think of the tales it could tell about how the address has almost been ripped from the package - and - WE definitely would not want that to happen. I carried it close and I could just feel the rush of "IRELAND" and I wanted to hold onto that experience.

But you know how we gals are - sooner of later our curiosity has been known to get the best of us SO I kinda reluctantly opened it up! WOW! Check this out! :)

It was a Christmas present from my beloved Micki  at  Irish Muses(http://thedote.blogspot.com/2011/01/great-newsa-giveaway-and-my-irish.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+blogspot/SscZ+(Irish+Muses) . I think we all know Micki with the heart of gold and a truck load of talent!  I recognized as soon as I opened it -that beautiful "mug-rug"!  I know this because I fell in love with the little teapot button!!!!!!!!! when she had posted about it when she created it.  I would have to agree with the gal who said hers was too pretty to use ! LOL And the pincushion is so beautiful and it is so Soft and I just absolutely adore it. Then she topped it off with some chocolate with some berry pieces in it. I have never had any like that , but I am dieing to sample it! It is in the refrigerator right now -chilling, as I love chocolate chilled. Matter of fact just mentioning it makes my mouth water. LOL

UPDATE! I just HAD to go get into it and it is Wonderful!!!!  I guess there is more than one way to "get more fruits in your diet"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so very honored to be remembered. I think I definitely have some very real "Angels" out there in my blog family. :)
Love to all!
