Yeah! It came yesterday!

**ONCE AGAIN I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR THE HORRIBLE PICTURES, AS THE CAMERA IS STILL SICK AND NOT TAKING GOOD PICTURES**

I participated in an ornament swap that Julie at AbbilyEverAfter organized and my ornament came yesterday! I was so excited when I got home and Mr. Man said "Oh! You got a package today. It is on the counter." I went rushing in and picked it up.....first thing I noticed was that it stamped by the post office "Royal Mail"...... Me? Royalty?? Well, I certainly felt that way after opening the package!



I carefully opened the envelope and there was a beautifully handmade card signed by Hannah at ItsAMumsLife! Isn't it wonderful?? Well, the picture doesn't do it justice so you will have to take my word for it....it is wonderful!!


The note inside told me how these delicate ornaments were handcrafted in Bethlehem out of olive wood! How special!! The family carefully looked them over and then we placed them on tree in a spot right in front so we can see them from every place in the room! I stared at them all night!

I couldn't wait to post this for you all to see these! These will be treasured forever!!!!!! I should also mention that we lost an entire box of ornaments during a move to a new house 4 years ago and it was a fairly large box which included ones that my sisters and I made when we were kids. Last year our tree looked so bare and I never could bring myself to purchase new ones. I wanted special ones, not just a box that I picked up at Wal-Mart -- those would not even come close to replacing the memories that were lost in that box of ornaments. So these ornaments from Hannah are sure to be treasured and just what I needed!
