i'm in a funk today and this made my day

i've been a little stressed out about Tucker who gave me such a scare the other day at school (all is fine...)- but it really affected me and put me in that "worry" mode about him. For those of you worriers out there, you know how stressful those feelings are. also, the heater on tucker's new hot tub is not working and when i called the company they told me they went bankrupt! jeff's truck won't start and my less than 7 month old tv died! what's next? i'm also working on this valentine's charm swap, which, quite honestly, i will be glad when it is over! just way to many people to keep track of (50 participants). i can barely remember if i had lunch, let alone juggle all that info! can't wait to go to the post office with 50 priority mail bags! and i have to pre weigh them before i go to make sure they are all under a pound (because they paid the $4.60 under a pound priority rate). people sent different bags, boxes, etc. not much continuity. just hope i don't get that grouchy mail guy!
but anyway, i just opened my email and recieved the nicest note. i have to say, "it made my day".

  8. Just a suggestion, but you know, you don't have to take all the packages to the post office. Your carrier will pick up anything that's Priority Mail, and there's no limit to the amount of packages, just request pickup online at usps.com - and it's free. Hope this helps!

  9. Hi Kecia,
    Sorry you're stressed! I think we could all use a bit more sunshine this time of year. What a nice note you got tho...that sure must have made you feel better.
    Hey, did you ever get your crow box from TT? If not, I'd be happy to pick it up when I'm there on Feb.9th and I can mail it to you.
    Let me know...
    Sending you glittery hugs,
    Laurie

  10. I have fallen behind in reading the blog...all caught up now! YOu are admired in Texas too!!! Looks like you have quite a fan club here, so take heart and just take it a minute at a time. Put on some great music and just pretend there is nothing else going on in the world but you opening up an envelope at a time and making little groups of treasures to pack and mail...imagine all those smiling faces as they receive them and enjoy seeing all the creative things that the others made! You could even think of writing a book called SWAPS and take photos of some of the best ones!!! Cheering you on here in sunny Texas (if the sun is gonna shine...lets get to Spring!) -Sandra
