A Christmas surprise.

Ho, Ho, Ho.....Santa delivered a little something early.
Since we are going to Sanibel Island in March and April, someone thought I needed a little something to keep the anticipation fresh.
 It will be the first time for hubby and me....but my sweet sis and her hubby have been going to the Island for years. We will be staying at the same resort with Laurie and Rog from Heaven's Walk.  It will be wonderful to spend time at the ocean with our dearest friends.
Laurie sent some sea glass(the colors are perfect for the lakehouse!), and Sanibel beach sand, and shells!!!


I am soooooo blessed to have such a thoughtful person in my life.
Laurie is my soul sister....a kindred spirit.
I will cherish these reminders of our trip to come, and also of the person that sent me such treasures.
I love you sweet sis!!!!

  2. Oh...she is such a dear friend to you! I love that you are like sisters! What a neat thing to get in the mail. I'll bet you are even more anxious to go now. You will LOVE Sanibel...and think of me when you go across the Causeway bridge, will you? I used to cross it every day of life! I am envious! xxoo Diana

  4. You and your sister are going to be where I too would love to be. Sand and shells are all a part of my dreams though...it is good to dream of warmth and beaches! If and when I ever do get to beach I'm going to collect some for sweet memories too.
    If someone asks me why I'm smiling today I'll just say I'm on the beach. I hope your Friday is a great one.

  6. Debbie- that gift is so you! And it looks right at home on in the lakehouse. The colors are so pretty!
    Got all your shopping done? Not me- have a little bit more. Have no clue on a couple of things. Rebecca is looking for me and I have been looking online.
    I have been getting more Christmas junk! She just snagged me some glass birds that clip on this morning!
    Hugs- Tete

  7. You're welcome, sista! :)

    I'll have you know that airport security thought I was carrying bomb making material on board and they had to test the sand to make sure it was real sand.

    I think they thought I was nuts.....

    LUV you MORE!!!!

    lol!
