A "Berry" Big Thank You!

and by berry I mean BLUEBERRIES!!!! 

After a very long day of teaching and a class down at OSU I made my way home to find a large box on my front door. I wasn't expecting any packages... my birthday had come and gone and Christmas had already happened. I saw the L.L. Bean label on the side of the box and began to panic. Had I accidentally bought something when I was looking around on the website? I pushed the box inside my apartment, grabbed a knife to open the box. Inside I found a set of dishes... MY DISHES... the ones I have been wanting for a very long time but couldn't bring myself to buy them for myself.

I also discovered where these beautiful dishes came from.  My dear, sweet Aunt Nancy. She decided that she just wanted to get them for me... and that is exactly what she did. It brought tears to my eyes. She is the most thoughtful of aunts. She embodies the name I have given her (since she is now a great aunt)... she is now known as "THE GREATEST" and she is. Here is the card I made and sent this week. 

I had hard time finding a blueberry stamp. I ended up having to improvise and make my own. I used a sponge blotter I had with blue ink and then added the star-like ends with a marker. I liked how it turned out. If anyone knows where to find stamps with blueberries I love to know. 

Thank you to "THE GREATEST" I love you!
