BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE


Once again...I'm feeling the love of all you lovely people.


When I arrived, my sister...who's address I use when in Colombia...

Claudia's birdie...named Claudia...hanging with her post card and one of my little door knob quilts.

sent me a couple packages with goodies that just tickle my heart.


Claudia Montieth...otherwise known as Cedarstuff on Flickr...


sent the sweetest little birdie ornament across the pond...from London,


which I will treasure and hang in my new house as soon as we close on it.


YEP! We have a house 'under contract' and hopefully closing before we have to return to Colombia in March! 

We looked at 40-50 houses and honestly...in our price range...I was pretty disappointed with what we saw.


Anything that was on the 'nice' side was gobbled up as soon as it hit the market. So, I'm thankful that we were in a position to gobble up the one we did. 


As soon as we saw it...we both loved it. Both of us. That hadn't totally happened before.


I'm not going to show pictures (other than the one above) until it's officially ours...but it's an exciting time...for sure. 


I also received these small pieces from a dear blogging friend, Waggonswest.


I'm not sure what I'll do with these...but they're among the top of my already growing stack of stuff to work on!


Thank you both so much for the lovely gifts! I feel loved! I am loved!


Thanks too to all of you for your continued encouraging, uplifting comments and support. I wouldn't want to be without you.




Create Your Life,


annie!

    1. Thanks Constanza! I've only been to the beach 4 times since arriving!!! That will change once we move here and don't have so much going on. It's so very where I want to be. :) I sure hope you're feeling better. I know that it's hard to keep up online...so no worries. (No worries is a very Colombian saying). :)
