I am so blessed!<\/p>\n<p>When we returned home late Saturday night from Hershey, worn out and glad to be home, I found a package in my mail box from my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/mainelystitching.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Barbara<\/a>.  I hoped it and found that she sent my birthday gift early (a good thing, especially with how slow the USPS has been lately).  I didn&#8217;t open it right away, but wrote to her to let her know that it had arrived and to ask whether I should open it now or wait until my birthday.<\/p>\n<p>She responded that I could open it whenever I wanted, so I ripped into it this morning.  I starting have a bit of a down period yesterday and while I&#8217;m starting to feel better already today, I figured I could use the pick-me-up.  Besides, it&#8217;s my birthday month, so close enough, right?  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Lo and behold, that little brat Barbara was able to get her hands on the Ashley embroidery scissors from Gingher that I was unable to find online or in my local Joann store.  What a sweetheart that Barbara is!<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9935&#038;g2_serialNumber=1\"\/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>She also stitched me a quaker hedgehog using a beautiful rainbow of colors on purple fabric, with a luscious deep purple ribbon.  And she stuffed it with a lovely lavender mix which makes me want to eat it!  \ud83d\ude06<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9939&#038;g2_serialNumber=1\"\/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>My heart overfloweth as I sit here in tears.
