A Gift From An Angel

This has just been an awesome mail week for me!!

 I was in the HOE Red Exchange back in February. I have posted a picture of the exchange I sent to my parnter back then. Unfortunately the person who had my name flaked out on her end and I never received an exchange. This isn't the same person I sent to it was someone else.
 So Jill the wonderful coordinator of that particular exchange had asked for an angel stitcher to step in.

When I opened the envelope there was this adorable package all wrapped up so pretty! I really hated to open it!  (you can see a picture of the wrapped piece on her blog)  First I read the lovely letter she wrote to me which explained what was inside and how she decided what to stitch for me.  She said she saw my blog and knew I loved butterflies and couldn't find just the right one.
 Then I saw her name and blog address and thought "wait I know that blog!!"  My angel stitcher was Lynn B !!! If you have never visited Lynn's blog you must!  Her stitching is impeccable and her finishing ideas are amazing!!! I've been following her blog for awhile now and I am always in awe of what she comes up with!
 I was literally in tears when I opened my package to find this stunning pin pillow and pinkeep with my initials on it! Not only that but Lynn made these precious butterfly pins AND hand made labels that have either "Handmade with love from Lisa", "Handmade by Lisa S", or my blog address on them so I can add them to my stitchy gifts etc.

 Lynn went above and beyond anything I expected! She volunteered to be an angel stitcher to right someone elses wrong and she has done so ten fold! I will never forget her kindness to me and her gifts will always be a reminder of that!
Thank You so VERY much Lynn!





So that concludes my wonderful mail week!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
