A MOST BEAUTIFUL, AND LOVELY BIRTHDAYGIFT !


Last friday I recieved a package from a very dear friend Terri of    Artful Affirmation!
Ofcourse I knew it was not to be opened untill my birthday,coming next week,-but 
on that friday I had to go to hospital for some test results,and as I was very nervous, I felt
that it was meant to be, that Terri`s gift arrived just that morning, and I told myself, it was
ok to open it up, for me to be comforted!


Inside was first this wonderfully beautiful card ,with Mother Mary  looking at me with her 
calming glance.


The other lovely wrapped gift revealed the most adorable and beautiful banner, also with
the same Mother Mary image , so romantic in style, and a little shabby, too.


Beautiful, old laces and ribbons, and the word :Joyful with
shabby roses .


Here is the first piece in the banner in close up, isen`t it gorgeous!! See the tiny
pink ladybug, the flowers of all kind, and wonderful seam bindings.


The third "flag" shows  the  Immaculate Heart of Mary, lovely
pink ribbon on top, and the pink beautiful flower.


You can see it here close up!!


Fourth "flag"  :the word  : Heart, tells us about one of the most importent things in life ,
Having our hearts with us, in all we do, and Terri made this amazingly beautiful piece
from her heart, I know.


This is the last "flag" with beautiful and fantastic old and new  laces ,
buttons, and another cute ladybug . So delightful and a stunning piece all together.


Thank you my dear Terri, your gift warmed my heart and gave me a feeling of ease.
And as many of you knows, everything turned out fine, all tests were as should be, and
I am not to have more tests , for which I`m so grateful.


The beautiful banner now hangs in my window,sending me greetings everyday, from dear Terri, and 
telling me to feel joy and have a happy heart for the everyday`s  little miracles and experiences.
Thank you dearest friend, your gift not only helped me that friday, but it is a daily joy
to see it and know you made it just for me, for which I`m also so very grateful.

**********************

It is friday evening here in Denmark, a little rainy but we need that for the garden,
so I`m not complaining, as all is so very dry here.
Maybe tomorrow will be a sunny day, I hope it will ,-for all of you
my dear readers and followers.
I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and love,
Dorthe

What a perfectly timed arrival to give you strength and calm before the hospital appointment - and look how it protected you for the results too! I'm sure Terri will be delighted her early birthday gift played such an important role that day.
