I know everyone has heard the phrase: Christmas in July
Well let me tell you something . . . Ms Dee7683 has sent me "Christmas in July" . . . a box full of such treasures . . . not only a beautiful mug rug, but 2 selections of really, really pretty fabric (that I just might share in another mug rug swap - or, I might not
), flower seeds, a set of dental pick, scaler & mirror along with a helpful hint of using the picks as stilettos - I also might add that these are great for helping clean our sewing machine, too; there's a really cute mason jar lid & straw converter; buttons, tape measure, needle threader, finger nail file; rotary cutter tote case; petite size embroidery scissors; 2 pin cushions; 2 types of snacks - I think I've listed everything and didn't mean to miss something.
As we exchanged messages, Dee shared with me her love of Monarch butterflies - how she actually helps raise them. Dee also shared a chrysalis (the cocoon where the butterflies develops into the butterfly - so I'm going to "hatch" my first beautiful butterfly!!!
Dee also included milkweed seed and an African hosta - the milkweed will eventually feed the butterflies. Thanks Dee for sharing one of your many, many talents AND thanks for the Christmas gifts!!!
