i love my readers. i really do. you guys leave such wonderful comments for me here on the blog and they truly make me smile. it's so nice knowing that you enjoy my little corner of the internet. thank you for that! we have gotten some lovely letters and cards as well and i read, adore and appreciate them all. i have replied to some but still have many that i still need to write back to and i will once i have a little more time on my hands. there's still not much down time around here. our hands are pretty full but i will get around to writing back soon. we received one letter in particular this week that just melted my heart and felt the need to share...
the envelope was adorned with red and blue striped tape, cute stamp stickers and an adorable hand cut heart. when i opened the envelope, (carefully as not to tear the return address on the back), i pulled out this lovely card...
the card was absolutely beautiful. it had a little girl who has long blonde hair on it, wearing a pretty pink dress with a cute little elephant pull toy behind her. when i opened the card up dozens of little cut out hearts fell to the couch and the inside of the card was hand written with the sweetest and neatest handwriting i've ever seen, not to mention the kindest words.
this truly made my day and meant the world to me. thank you charlotte for the sweet gesture and sentiment. the girl on the card reminds me of what i think little gemma bird might look like in a few years and she just happens to have a blue elephant in her room. which is where i put the card you sent...
...right next to it, in a frame for her to cherish.
i've said it before and i'll say it again... i have the most amazing readers ever!
thank you so much for all the love & encouragement.
love, james.
