Sur-prise!!!! Sur-prise!!!! Sur-prise!!!!

Hi everyone

I received mail yesterday.  "So what" your saying.

Well, for one thing it wasn't a bill!!!!!! Yeah.

Secondly, it came across the seas to me!!!

So I opened the plain brown envelope and found this ....

That was enough to make me smile

My favourite red mixed with a rainbow of cottons

Who is Alison???

Pop on over here and say Hi to Alison at Alisonb2

A very lovely lady whose favourite colour is Purple, lots and lots of colour and craft!!!!

But the note?????

What did it mean

Well I just had to find out

So I opened the wrapping and .......

opened the wrapping and .....

opened the wrapping and .....

By this time I am giggling, I know what Alison meant

But I also had to explain to hubby why I am stopping and taking photos

So he had a quick run-down on blogland etiquette

So what's next?????

And what's inside the violet paper?????

To be honest, I didn't care

I felt like a toddler - far happier with the paper than caring what was inside ☺

But I did open it

Wonderful, tiny, bright, gorgeous rainbow buttons

Of course they have rainbow cotton with them

Ideas are spinning - what to do!!!

No rush, I can just admire for a long, long time - if I want

Thank you so much Alison for such a wonderful consolation gift

I haven't moved them from my coffee table, so I can keep looking at the wonderful colours

I hope your day is filled with rainbows and sunshine

(Unfortunately, Alison's gift is as close as I can get to sunshine here today)
