Sweet blog friends!

 I'm overdue at sharing this, due to my vacation, so forgive me!

I have to show you the sweet package I got from my friend Catherine at My Home and Garden. Catherine sent this package with goodies for us, and some fun things for Cassie all the way from France!

There was a beautiful little scrapbook and handmade gift tags along with lots of french treats that we are still eating

Then there was a gift bag for Cassie.  We had her open it when she came trick or treating (I told you this was late!), so that's why she's in costume in these pictures.

Showing me some sticker books

She was very excited and Heather says she's enjoying them.

Since you saw Cassie in her Tigger suit, here is Connor being a Tiger.

And here's a pic Laura sent of the other two.  They wanted to show me a potato they got while out trick or treating.  :)

And now, one more blog friend who sent me something sweet.

My friend Carrie at Northwoods Scrapbook sent this yummy basket as a congratulations on retiring.

It had the most beautiful caramel apples in it, along with chocolate covered pretzels, toffee, chocolates and caramels. I shared one of the apples with Alaina and Ruby and you should have seen their eyes when they saw it!  Anyway, it's all good and we'll be eating for some time.

Thanks to both of them, and also to the rest of you who sent cards and notes to congratulate me. Our blogging community really is a thoughtful group and a blessing!
