A Wonderful Surprise from Magic Love Crow!

This past week I received a wonderful surprise from MagicLoveCrow aka Stacy.  She is a dear friend of mine who lives in Canada.  Stacy and I met through Etsy and have been following and sharing each others work for the past several years.  Stacy always seems to know when someone is in need of a smile and generously shares her love with so many.

Well, by know I suppose you are wondering what I received from Stacy ... It is a wonderful Baby Crow ACEO titled "Dream Catcher".   How she knew I absolutely love dream catchers is a mystery to me, but at a time when I needed something to cheer me up and bring a big smile to my face she sent me .....

I so enjoy the many paintings she has created, and watching her imagination and creativity soar, much like a Crow enjoying the beauty of flight.  This is one gift that is dearly cherished.

Finally, as Stacy always says, Big Hugs and Keep on Smiling! ;oD

A Surprise Came In The Mail!

Earlier this week I was having an ordinary day, sitting at my table and working on an illustration.  Danny Boy spotted the mailman, which set him off flying across the room and landing on top of the couch perch which affords him a grand view from the front room window, and he let go with his "Mailman Alarm"!  

Jim went out and gathered up the collection, and came back in with the usual amount of "Snail Mail" advertising, catalogs, sales promotions and a letter for me?!  In this day and age it is a rarity to actually receive a personal letter, it's like a surprise gift in the mail!  And it was!  It was addressed to me from my dear friend to the North, MagicLoveCrow!

I carefully opened up the letter which held one of Stacy's adorable Baby Crow cards, snugly enclosed inside where two beautiful ACEO's that she had picked out for us and sent "to make you smile!".   Well, she did just that - made us smile and turned an ordinary day into an extra special day!

Her gift was so special that I just had to share them with all of you (she said it was OK for me to do so)!   I hope these pictures make you smile too!

Thank you so very much special friend!

And, in Stacy's own words, "Keep On Smiling!".

Take care and may your day be happy!
