My mother received her Quilted Bed Runner today! The JOY of receiving!
She was beside herself...I was so HAPPY.
I had accomplished...my desire!
To hear her HAPPY voice...to know she thought it was perfect..for her Red and White room ...and also surprised at the other little gifts included.
My mother lives...on the West Coast and I'm on the East.
In our family...when we send packages...we have to CALL...and NOT OPEN the pkg..until we can OPEN it while on the phone! WE must HEAR the exclamations of JOY!
She did indeed remark about the DOILY and FLOWER on opening the box! See what a tiny "touch" of a pretty can do!
A sweet friend of mine said...the presentation of a small gift I sent her once...made the entire receiving part so spectacular!!!
It's so FUN.
My sister is the true talented one on this..she has sent me GORGEOUS wrapped packages...and she doesn't just wrap one..ALL of the little goodies with pretty stickers and ribbons...nice little velvet bags...you know!
I just look around in my craft supplies...buttons, stickers..ribbons...little bags...little notes...just look and you'll be surprised at the things you can put on a package...think of a scrabbooking page..only it's the top of your package at opening!!
So next time...Do your package with some added touches of the HEART and HEAR what happens!!
Thanks so all who encouraged me on this project...I'm ready for another!
Yes...it'll be my Sister!
Blessings from the Heart..

Hi Hope!
I think that is a wonderful tradition, to make sure you're on the phone when a gift is opened. How much nicer to be able to hear the recipient's reaction! GREAT idea!
I never just drop off an outfit that I've made for my DGD...I want to see her face when she first sees it. That's the best part of sewing!
Your Mom's bed runner is beautiful. You do nice work.

p.s. I realize your real name isn't 'Hope', but it IS the real name of my DH's youngest great-granddaughter! ~~big smile~~
Oh Hope that is so special, I know your mom really appreciated this special gift from her girl, God bless you sweet sister as you serve God, and love others.
What a beautiful gift!! What a wonderful idea to be on the phone with the recipient BEFORE they open their gift :)
By the way, the bed runner you created for your Mom is a real treasure!!
Your projects always turn out so beautiful! How have you been? We are doing well. We miss everyone at church, I'm just now beginning to realize how much.... Tell everyone we love and miss them!
Oh, what a lovely idea to save the gift to open on the phone with the sender!
Yes, "lovely" is definitely a word I find myself using over and over after 6 trips to England.
Wow, you have been busy! I love the quilts you've done. Just beautiful.
It was a lovely and thoughtful gift. It is no wonder she was pleased :-). I always enjoy my visits here. You've created a lovely spot for your readers to enjoy and I never regret time spent here. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
