This was the stack of mail when we returned home...
Oh, how I love to get something besides junk mail and bills!
Callie (my helper kittie) was quite curious...
She had been investigating the package on the counter while we were gone...
...Just what could be inside?
It was my package from Tina, of One Wild Swan.
She sent this beautiful handmade Mug Mat.
The colors are perfect.
Check out how it looks with one of my favorite mugs!
This was a sweet swap organized by Donna of Brynwood Needleworks.
Be sure to stop by her blog and say "Hi" and check out the rest of the swap participants.
And speaking of sweetness...
Tina surprised me with these lovely pears,
aged with cinnamon and nutmeg.
They smell yummy!
Thank you, Tina.
I love my mug mat. You are a wonderful swap partner.
And thank you, Donna.
You are a super swap organizer.
I just really enjoy participating in swaps...
The blogging community is just so amazing.
Take care,
