I've been most, most lucky recently!

First, I received a wonderful package from Jeannie Dukic. I was the lucky winner of one of her wonderful blog give aways where she was giving away several of her new polymer clay pendants. Jeannie does an incredible job with packaging. Opening the box, I found the tin in the back right, with a a beautiful polymer clay lid. Inside the tin, I found her wonderful packages, including the cutest little envelope for her business cards.

I haven't had the heart to take the pendants out of their clever packages yet, but I promise to share pictures when I do. In the meantime, here's a close up of her papercut decorations.
Thank you so much Jeannie! I already have plans for the hot pink/orange Half Lotus charm. Just need a wee bit of time in my schedule to finish putting it together.
This week, two more packages arrived in the mail! One from my Bead Soup partner, Tracey Nanstad, which I will share in a separate post. And the second was COOKIES from Sarah of Saturday Sequins, one of my bestest blogging friends.

Homemade Peanutbutter Chocolate Oatmeal cookies, along with a little note saying they were Mr. Sequin's favorite recipe! Now wasn't that a wonderful package to unwrap? Yum! Thank you Sarah!
This immediately makes me want to turn around and send someone a package, because it's almost as much fun to wrap and send as it is to receive and unwrap. So, if you'd like to potentially get a small package from me (it might just be a decorated letter, or it could be cookies, or beads - who knows?) leave a comment saying so and I'll randomly pick several of you to send something to. I'll do the drawing next Wednesday.
I'm so happy you like the cookies! They go pretty fast in our house, I have to say. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the package you sent to me! The biscotti didn't even last 24 hours in my care before I'd gobbled it all up. Mr. Sequin is lucky I shared at all!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI am with you on getting packages in the mail and unwrapping the goodies inside. It looks like you got some real winners this time around. Jeannie's beads and pendants are beautiful and Sarah's cookies look so very yummy. I would love to get a surprise package from you, thank you for the opportunity to win a package from you.

Isn't Jeannie such a whiz with her packaging! I got a couple pendants from her too, and have saved the wrapping :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a true treat to receive one of her packages!
DeleteWhat fun mail Karen. Jeannie's packaging is so festive.
ReplyDeleteThat's such fun packaging and I want those cookies for breakfast. I love sending out packages just as much as receiving them.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I do love getting goodies in the mail. And, having been a recipient of your packages in the past, I have to toss my name in the pot! I'm with you, I love Jeannie's packaging!
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed lucky to get these wonderful packages! Jeannie has a knack for packaging--something I am lacking. Those cookies look yummy. Are they all gone by now?
ReplyDeleteAnd, Yes, I would love to get a surprise in the mail!! Please put my name in the drawing--thanks!!
Oh man! cookies! those look delicious!! and what pretty packages, I can see why you don't want to disturb them! what a lot of fun coming in the mail this week! you are all 'wrapped up'!
ReplyDeletehow lovely to receive such wonderful packages, you lucky girl!
ReplyDeletei'd LOVE a wee something from you!! i adore real mail :) though i'll pass on cookies as i'm diabetic... unless they're sugar-free :)
What a cheerful post! Getting a package in the mail always feels exciting, and even more special when it's from special friends. Snail mail is a tangible piece of evidence that someone is thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on your post anyway, before I read about your thoughtful giveaway. I'm overseas so please don't worry about including me. I know shipping in the States has gone up dramatically! Happy wrapping!
Oh my gosh those cookies sound delicious!! I do love receiving packages, too - especially unexpected ones. Those envelope wrappings are too pretty to not use again and I don't blame you waiting.
ReplyDeleteI never get cookies in the mail, anymore! My mother used to send me cookies ... when I was 18 and living alone I once burnt some cookies so badly they were charcoal... I packaged up two of them and sent them cross country to my mother ... after that for the next couple of years every couple of months I'd get a box of cookies!
ReplyDeleteThose are the cookies that my grown children plead with me to make whenever they come home. Pat doesn't like them, so I force myself (ha!) to help the kids eat the batch...
ReplyDeleteIsn't wrapping and unwrapping packages fun? Those are truly beautiful packages!
ReplyDeleteAh hah unwrapping, what a twist. Awesome! I'd love the recipe for those cookies...
ReplyDeleteCookies in the mail?!?! This is news to me, I've never had cookies arrive at my door, certainly nothing that looks that delicious! Yum
ReplyDeleteLike you I love getting parcels in the post! I love how Jeannie packaged her pendants! Far too nice to destroy! Must say I have never received lovely home made cookies in the post. What a thoughtful surprise ! You have some lovely friends obviously!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea Karen. Getting a surprise package in mail is kind of like Christmas.Please count me in. Jeannie did an excellent job of packaging.
