“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

By: HH the Dalia Lama

This week, all across the United States,  kindness is being spread. Mamarazzi has once again organized a fabulous swap … Red, White and Blue is the theme and it is all about FUN and KINDNESS! I have participated in a few swaps and will continue, not just because I receive a superb box of goodies or because I meet  new bloggy friends, these things are indeed wonderful BUT I will continue because I enjoy putting together a package to send! It is such a wonderful feeling, as I walk away from the post office knowing hoping that the my package will be enjoyed by someone!!!!

Yesterday my swap package arrived. We had been out and about all day and when we got home my package was sitting there and I was so excited!!! Over the past few weeks I have had the greatest pleasure to get to know Forgetfulone … a lovely lady, fun mom, and hard working teacher. I have really enjoyed getting to know her and especaily seeing her very spectacular scrapbooking creations … go look!

I am happy to say that she was not the least bit forgetful while putting together the perfect picnic package that I received!

This box was full, full, full with red white and blueness!!! It all started withe a beautifully made note card — such scraping creativity! I could feel the kindness in her words and it made each little package even more special!

She thought of everything … table cloth, plates, cups, utensils, serving bowl, caddy, candles, napkin … and even decorations, a tin of mints, cookie cutters, and glow sticks for my children!!! Oh and a magazine … yeah, I love magazines but never buy them for myself … I am really looking forward to sitting with a tea and reading it!  Oh yes, and do you see the cute red, white and blue socks … how did you know? I love socks and the crazier the better!!! And I almost forget the note paper … love it, I write a lot of notes …

I do not know what to say … this is wonderful, fantastic, perfect … I have guest here for the holiday weekend and this made my life so much easier and much more festive! Forgetfulone you are wonderful, I thank you ever so kindly!
