a surprise Christmas gift
I spent most of yesterday out of the house and soon after I got home there was a knock on the door, a delivery man with a package for me.
Woo-hoo!
I signed for it and checked the stamp to see where it was from as I didn't recall ordering anything online anywhere.....Canada! Who do I know in Canada?
Aha! Delores from Under The Porch Light.
What could this possibly be?
So I opened it....
the package...
the bubble wrap.
And what was inside?
A lovely Christmas card....
with sparkly snowflakes around the edges.
isn't it gorgeous?
And there was something else.....
a cupcake kit! A Christmas themed cupcake kit. This one is the Nutcracker Tale.
cupcake cases.....
and cupcake toppers.
It's the sweetest thing! Almost too nice to use.
But I will use it, of course I will, there are family birthdays coming up that I will make cupcakes for.
Thank you Delores.
