God determines who walks into our life.....it's up to us to decide who we let walk away, who we let stay, and who we refuse to let go.

Friday morning happenings...I got mail!

look what the postman brought...

2...

count them...

2...

from blogging buddies!

the first one was a sweet thank you card from Debbie @ lakehouse...

she is such a blessing to know...

and I was so tickled that she was happy with the prayer warrior button I made and that so many of you displayed on your blogs for her...

I usually would rather ask someone if it is ok to do things like that for them...

but it all happened so fast and I knew I couldn't get a hold of her, so I did it anyway, hoping it would be ok...

and then I got this from Shirley...

from sweet romantic notions...

she's on my sidebar...

a little gift just because...

those are the bestest kind...

even the back of the card is beautiful...

and inside all of this was tucked in neatly and tied with a ribbon...

she had been at a card show and saw this little valentine and it spoke to her...

she said she had seen plenty of Easter cards with lambs, but never a valentine...

and she knew it had to live here with me...

because she had read my post about my sister, Kathy...

who has a little lamb sitting atop of her stone...

and that I collect sweet little lambs in her memory...

now, how cool is that?..

it can only happen in blogland that someone would remember a little thing like that while they are out antique hunting...

it really touched my heart...

I am going to find a frame and put it under glass, with Shirley's card...

and place it with my lambs from Cheryl...

thank you so much, girlfriends, for thinking of me...

you made my day for sure!

I'm going to be smiling all over the place all weekend!

sure makes up for that stupid magazine yesterday and then some!

I am so over my cranky mood!

Love you guys!

and as those beautiful things were coming into my home and my heart...

this was leaving...

I said you can't leave without me getting a pic!

so he smiled for me a little and then went back...

for his laundry basket!

and I signed wait a minute!

turn around!

he got tickled because he knew I was blogging him...

my son came to see me so he could do his laundry!

he came yesterday and spent the night...

we had a good time and got caught up...

my new dish towels, dish rags and oven mitts came yesterday...

so I sent him home with the old ones and a few groceries, too...

cause that's what momma's do...

the first thing I holler at all the boys, mine and their friends, neighbor kids, don't matter...

is...

are you hungry?

as soon as they walk in the door...

we've fed them all...

I even fed the football team for 2 years before the games on Monday nights...

but that's another story...

so I will leave you with this for now...

Craig and I need to grab some lunch and then more house work...

you all have a fun day!

hugs- Tete

Postcard Friendship Friday...

another week of Easter postcard images...

I love the colors in the Easter postcards...

this one has a great border...

and I love forget me nots...

and it is one of the things I like to collect...

and I love the vintage RPPCs with children....

and then if they have been colored, too...

it's a lot more fun...

roses were very popular in victorian times...

and even though this one has a visable postal mark on the front...

it is still a great image...

the colors and border are what caught my eye...

religious postcards with Christ are not that easy to find...

most of the PCs were of fantasy and fun...

I have many postcards of my own...

but I also collect images of those that I do not have...

I buy occassionally, but there is no way I could ever own all that I would want...

saving the images lets me use them in my crafting and blogging...

I make my own cards with them and just like looking through them from time to time...

and I really love this blog party so I can share what I have...

and see what everyone else has, too!...
