A mysterious package arrived today (01/29/2025)
A mysterious package arrived today (01/29/2025). Is it the missing items I ordered for my nieces for Christmas? No, that doesn’t feel right. Could it be the thumb drives, that I ordered for the guild library? No, there is something about the length of a thumb drive but the shape isn’t right. Oh, maybe I should read the letters and see what it says (yes subliminal messages don’t work well with me, I do have to think to read).
1) envelope with Royal Mail stamp!
It even says Roil Mail!! Eleanor!! It’s from Eleanor!!! Christmas has arrived!! Ok, let’s open it! I didn’t peek at her post before Christmas, what is in here?
2) note from Eleanor
Oh, a note Thank you!!! You are absolutely right, flat felting is very hard to convince it should be flat!!
OH MY! The back of the card birds are so cute!
3.1-3.2) The Back of the card and close-up of the little birds!
Oh, that is so cool! Ok, let’s turn the card over!
4) the front of the felted postcard
I Love the balls on the tree and the purple present! And the star stamp has sparkles. And such readable letters!
5) 3D elements of the Christmas tree and present
I will have to see if I can find a shadow box frame and a glass so you can see the back and the front. I don’t think I will be able to work on that tomorrow but once I am making sense again I will have fun framing the Christmas card!
Oh, there is still something (a lump) in the envelope… what could it be?
6) I found candy in the envelope too!
Oh, the lumps in the package look like our Rockets but are called Fizzers! I want to get a picture of them so I will not eat them before dinner!! How did you know I love rockets?
Thank you so much it’s cheered up my day! I hope your little raven is behaving himself and not causing too much havoc in your studio! And thank you Ann for organizing the Card exchange, it was lots of fun!

It took great strength not to peek at the post – hats off to you!
But it must have been worth it to see the lovely surprise. The card is delightful. As for the sweeties … they will be fun. 🙂
it was a fabulous supprize! i was distracted by my impending sergery on friday so it was the perfect distraction on wednesday night / thorsday. i hope you can see how beautifly felted the whole pictrue is. i am not sure if i am expressing my self, i got a few more of the good green little pills, not sure what they are, but they kick the pain wonderfly. if i am up for a bit longer today, i want to go read what Leanor said about the felting in her post.
i am saving the candys till i feel a bit better. i want to enjoy and remeber the flavour!
i hope you have been having fun felting while ive been a bit bleary minded.
What a wonderful surprise to find in the mail. I’m glad it finally arrived and just in time to cheer you up when you most needed it. I hope everything went well with your surgery and that you are healing well.
Love the card. Especially the cat stamp. (I am smitten with black cats.)
I loved this post and all about Leonor’s card. I am late off the mark in commenting, I am sorry! Jan I hope that you are well now!
