A WonDerFul SurPriSe PaCkaGe, YaRd wORk, & MiSc...

Good Morning everyone!!! hope your friday is off to a great start..I have the house cleaning under my belt now..so the day is mine..I wanted to share a suprise package that came on wednesday...just because..This sweet package came from Linda of Parkers Paradise and it was a welcome home package..She also sent a wonderful note to go along with it..This touched my heart and I love the goodies that went along with it. see the stacking boxes above..I love these.. and Cindy see where I put your little pan..it made a move right inbetween my pictures..it looks so good there..
see the cute little red box above the doll..that too came from Linda..might have to store some candles in it..right now it just looks prim dandy...:)
she also sent me the place mats for summer..;0)
the little kitty is right at home on my baking shelf in the kitchen..thank you so much Linda for this wonderful surprise package..you are one of the most thoughtful gals I know and you bring lots of smiles to those that receive your gifts..;)
well hubby got the treadmill back in shape..so I can get back in shape..he had to clean 10 years worth of dirt out of it..so yesterday I gave it a test drive for 20 minutes....purrs like a kitten..now I can walk rain or shine..:)
The Rhodies are in bloom...after my work out I worked in the yard for 2 hours..editing alot of plants that are taking over..felt good after the work out cause I was limber..
took care of this area on monday...
trimmed these gold dust bushes by about 3 feet..amazing at how much light comes up on the porch now..I do this twice a year...they grow so fast..

I worke here on monday and yesterday..I think this area is finished for the time being..amazing what you find when you get right into the thick of it..lots to take out..so happy its done..still have about 2 hours left in the front and then I can sit back and enjoy it..I ate my first strawberry the other day..it was from the newest plants that I put in that little mailbox in the back..it was yummy..:)
I forgot to show you the necklaces I picked up in Utah at that really neat village I went too..they also came with earrings..I love these..which is your favorite?...

I love this photo..found on the net..a mama hugging her baby...Well how many of you have started your 4th of July decorating? I am thinking of putting mine up this week or next..we have the flag up from memorial day and it usually stays up till after veterans day..
Well today I am taking a walk on the treadmill and then mowing the lawn..it is a bit overcast right now..supposed to be partly cloudy and 60 degrees..might sit outside if it warms up and catch up on some of my prim reading..almost have my halloween stitchery done..I hope you all have a wonderful weekend..:)
Its offical..I am down 30-1/2 pounds...waaahhhooo!!!
I am going to be doing a giveaway soon..2 prizes will be given away....editing my crafts..so passing them onto you..:) so stay tuned..;)
