Love through the Mail

When I was 12 years old, my family moved to Muenster in Northern Germany. I was a shy girl at that age and moving to a new town and new school was not easy. But after some time in Muenster, I made two wonderful friends who are still so dear to me today - Verena and Petra.

Verena had offered a while ago on her blog to send bookmarks made by her girls to anyone who'd like one. Just look at these beauties we got! Being avid readers, these will be used a lot! With it, she sent the prettiest heart made of birch bark and wrote a sweet note on the back of a sunny crocus picture. Vielen lieben Dank, Verena, Gerlinde, Charlotte und Constanze!

And then, yesterday, I received the loveliest care package from my friend Petra. She couldn't have planned it that way, but it arrived when I came back from the doctor's office. I am sipping a cup of the tea she sent as I am writing this and can't wait to explore everything else. Do you spy the little gummi bears? Petra is feeding my secret addiction.... Vielen Dank, Petra!! So eine Ueberraschung!!
And as if that wasn't enough to make me feel better immediately, I also received my beautiful peace earrings I had bought from Kelly last week. I'm wearing them already, Kelly, and love them!!
On the health front, with the doctor's help I should have my sinus infection cleared up in no time. I'm ready to be back to my usual energetic self! Thank you for all your well wishes! You are such good friends!
