Thank you Jan & Tom's Place!!!

Thank you Jan & Tom!!!!!

While recuperating from my back injury ~ resting in bed! ~ I came across a most delightful blog. It's Jan & Tom's Place. We both live in Michigan too. I found it very coincidental that on the day I was reading Jan's blog she was having a birthday celebration! Jan and I share a very special day ~ our birthdays!! Jan was having a birthday party/tea and invited people to share in her fun. I was all too happy to send her birthday blessings. All people born on October 8th are very special people :) ~ I'm just saying. . . .


Jan was also having a birthday give-a-way for three lucky guest attending her party. What a shock to have received an e-mail from Jan that I was one of the three winning guest!!! Happy Birthday. . . all. . . over. . . again!!


The most wonderful package arrived and I asked our oldest daughter to "capture" each and every moment for me with the camera.

My surprise began with an adorable storage box and matching card. . .

My first and favorite present is a book, "The Secret Place of the Most High" by Clift & Kathleen Richard. I can't wait to start reading this book tonight. What Christian doesn't wish to have a deep intimacy and the closest relationship possible with our Lord and Savior? Teach me all you can Lord and fill me up with your ever present Holy Spirit!!

The presents that Jan sent just kept coming and coming. One delight after another!

Bath salts, a sewing repair kit, tea, candles and a vintage looking picture frame. Perfect for my bedroom redo! I think I'll put Jan's picture in this frame :)


Wow, here's an overall shot of all the lovely, delightful surprises sent by Jan. Go check out her blog. It's wonderful. You'll be glad you did.
Thank you Jan & Tom!!
Blessings. . . until next time,

Well, I'm a Michigan girl too and I picked up on your blog from Jan & Tom's Place. I blog with Jan often and she and Tom have visited me a few times at my shop.It's so much fun to actually meet people who you blog with. I also have a cottage in northern Michigan. Check out my blog when you get a chance. My shop is located between Canton and Ann Arbor. I grew up in Madison Heights.
