Bonjour!

Hoping you had a wonderful Christmas Holiday...the lil' ones surely enjoyed themselves and are enjoying a lil' cat nap as they have been playing with their new toys and playing in the snow for HOURS...

...had a few moments and wanted to show you some pics of one of the many heartfelt gifts that have been coming my way from dear kindred spirits from all over the world...and also update my weekly 'Merci beaucoup le vendredi' (Thank you very much Friday) posts...

This Friday, I'd like to thank sweet Elizabeth of Quest Twenty Eight .

(Remember this past November I wrote about this wonderful artist and her precious hearts? ) Elizabeth who's all the way from England wrote to me and said that she was going to send me a heart because I made her day...isn't she just the sweetest heart ever?!!! I wasn't expecting anything because I truly just wanted to showcase this wonderful artist and her most creative ornaments...(plus I ADORE hearts and Elizabeth's photos were amazing!)

Well...a couple of weeks ago, my postman delivered a very, I mean a very SPECIAL package all the way from England and well...when the outside of the package says, "ROYAL MAIL"...well, I just about keeled over...I mean...wow..."ROYAL MAIL"...quite impressive...

When I opened this very special package, I was in TEARS...literally because...Elizabeth sent me this sweet note and not just ONE heart but THREE hearts!!!! Elizabeth said she wanted to send me three to honour my '3 little Miracles' (my flickr name which is dear to me as it represents my 3 little miracles-my children: Ian, Shioban and my Sweet Angel Sinead in Heaven)...tears just overflowed and I can't tell you how Elizabeth's kind gesture made me feel...

you truly touched my heart and I will forever be grateful for your random act of kindness, esp. to me, a stranger from all the way across the Atlantic Ocean...these special hearts will be treasured for ETERNITY...

Please go to Elizabeth's etsy shoppe and check out the wonderful and creative items she makes and sells...these hearts would be perfect all year round...esp. Christmas and Valentine's Day or just because you LOVE someone...and visit her blog Quest Twenty Eight to see what she's been up to and follow up on her adventures...I'm in love with these hearts and I thank Elizabeth for sharing the beauty she creates with me...
