Mail = Smiles

It is amazing how a friendly voice and a few pieces of mail can put a smile on ones face....especially when it has been missing all day!!

After a tough day at work it was lovely to come home (early 'cause I didn't want to face the piles of marking still to do!) and hear not only a lovely message on my voice mail from Helen checking on what fabric I needed but also a package of lovely red fabrics from Ads too!! As well as some OZtion FQ's.
Thank you girls for looking after me!!!
