Wordless Wednesday...

not so wordless. Sorry, but I have to tell the story behind it.

The Letter Box





As some of you know I'm looking for a box to put Pebbles Birthday Letters in. And this will be perfect!! A few years back my MIL Janice who's health keeps her at home most days, had a friend help her do some QVC shopping for Christmas gifts. My SIL Stacy & I were supposed to get knifes on a wooden block as our gifts. When we opened these my MIL was so confused and embarrassed, her friend had ordered the wrong item number! But, now I have a wonderful use for it and it will be a great gift for Pebbles someday.

Please visit 5 minutes for mom to see more WW.

What a beautiful box. Made even more special because of the meaning and who it came from all around.

Beautiful box! Nope, not the wrong item number. I think your MIL's friend was just years ahead of herself. ;)

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
