Happy Mail

I have to admit, the day Kerri posted about getting Happy Mail, I was a bit envious! There really is nothing quite like opening that metal box to find something happy inside.  As a child I had lots of pen-pals  and I can still remember the excitement of opening those fat little envelopes decorated with glittery stickers.  Well, yesterday I received some Happy Mail of my own!  It wasn't decorated with glittery stickers, but it held something even better then a fat letter inside!  

Awhile back, I won my very first give-away.  Jen, a fantastic mother  from the inspiring blog Denton Sanatorium, so graciously gave away a $40 Target gift card on her birthday. Yes, giving away a gift  on her birthday, that's just the kind of gal she is!:)  Yesterday it came in the mail.  I hope my neighbors didn't see my little happy dance by the curb.  Especially since there was a Target coupon book in the mail too!!:)  Funny thing was, Aubrey and I were heading there anyway, so this was even more then perfect!

Instead of getting Fall Decorations like I thought I would, I decided on four of these little beauties.

They fit absolutely perfectly in our new laundry room storage bench. (more pictures of the re-do to come!)

So thank you Jen and heres hoping a little Happy Mail is coming your way too.

Enjoy the day,
Cindy

  1. Yay for bloggy happy mail!
    Cute Target finds.

    Cute post about the "sorry notes". I remember the days when brushing Emily's hair was the worst part of the day...lots of screaming and fussy about too many bumps in her ponytail. I almost forgot about that!

  10. Lucky you! Love the sweet little bin. Your laundry room will be so happy and fun! Mine is in standstill mode. I think today is the day to get it moving again. I need hubby's help moving some bins to the attic, and then to decide on a color scheme. He bought the black and white tiles, which are fun, but busy on their own!

  12. I love those totes! They are so cheery! Every time I see that one I want to buy it, but the size doesn't work in the spaces I need. *sniff*
