There were some great Mickey patches and a ribbon to use in some kind of craft. This is going to be fun!
And the most amazing book!! It's the travel-version of the Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, which I can see getting a lot of use around here.
It's the time of year for the fun Christmas in July gift exchange on the Disney Pin Forum! Being a Secret Santa is a lot of fun, and they have exchanges in December and July. Lizzy and I have been working away on our boxes and mailing out today. Well, my package from my own Secret Santa just arrived! This was such a special package, too! Everything just such thoughtful gifts. They all arrived in very festive wrapping . . . And there was even a package for Nanea (who has a Hawaiian/Aulani pin collection of her own). She was pretty excited! She opened her package first, of course. It's a gorgeous Aulani Resort pin that she's had in the Want List for ages! This is going to be a lovely addition to her little board. The other things were equally wonderful. There was a pack of Star Wars Itty Bitty pins from Hallmark that Elizabeth and I have been trying to trade for for a long time. Just look at how cute that little Han Solo is! There were some great Mickey patches and a ribbon to use in some kind of craft. This is going to be fun! And the most amazing book!! It's the travel-version of the Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, which I can see getting a lot of use around here. What a bright spot in the week! This was some really fun and thoughtful mail. A big thank you to my Secret Santa!

Colossians 2:8:
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. BEATRICE: MY HONEY-BEE

My "favorite" member of the Clapham Sect. Not very much is known about him, but what is preserved keeps a beautiful memory alive of an exemplary Christian man. William Wilberforce Quote:
May I look to Him for wisdom and strength and the power of persuasion, and may I surrender myself to Him as to the event with perfect submission, and ascribe to Him all the praise if I succeed, and if I fail say from the heart thy will be done. For you Jesus Christ came into the world. For you he lived and showed God’s love. For you he suffered the darkness of Calvary and cried at the last, ‘It is accomplished.’ For you he triumphed over death and rose to new life. For you he reigns at God’s right hand. All this he did for you, though you do not know it yet.
Where there is one, there is a majority of one; and when the rights of the majority take away from the rights of the one, then the many will themselves suffer.
~Henry David Thoreau~ I often think of Bag End. I miss my books, and my armchair, and my garden. You see, that's where I belong. That's home. That's why I came back, because you don't have one. A home. It was taken from you. But I will help you take it back if I can.

He was born with a gift of laughter & a sense that the world was mad. The future is to be read with certainty only in the past. Man never changes. PRIDE & PREJUDICE:
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. PRIDE & PREJUDICE:
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion. WINSTON CHURCHILL ON
KING GEORGE VI "His conduct on the Throne may well be a model & a guide to constitutional sovereigns throughout the world today & also in future generations." "For 15 years George VI was King. Never at any moment in all the perplexities at home & abroad, in public or in private, did he fail in his duties." |
