A Monkee found, a Compliment AND a Surprise!

WOW!  I couldn’t have had a much better day than that!!

A Monkee found
I was so happy to receive an email from Dominique who let me know that she found Daisy -

Shhhhh, it’s a secret, but Daisy was one of my favourites, I love her cheeky little grin!

Dominique was in Merrickville for supper when she spied Daisy and has now taken her home to Gatineau – I love how these monkees are spreading out across the area!   Mwahahahahah… little do their owners know that on that ‘special date’ all these monkees will leap into action as part of their plan for World Domination!  Thank you for letting me know she’s safe Dominique!

A compliment
David and I were in Brockville yesterday and took half an hour to sit in the park by the river with some Tim’s.  The bench we sat on was right by a walking path so from time to time people – walked by!  One couple came by and we greeted each other as polite Canadians do, then imagine my surprise when the lady commented on how much she liked my necklace!  I was wearing my Goddess bead!  The biggest grin filled my face, but I didn’t have time to say more than ‘thank you’ as they were off along the path.  It did make me feel very special!

A surprise
I went to the post office to mail some things and found that I had a package waiting for me, I thought it was from a Giveaway that I had won, but when I looked closer at the address I realised it was from my good friend Samma !  I met Samma through our little group on the Wet Canvas forum – she’s incredibly talented, her glass work is beautiful – so I couldn’t wait to tear open the package right there and then!  So I did!

I need to take another picture this one does not do it justice, it’s the most beautiful pendant, and each time I look at it I see something different, one moment it’s an island floating in the ocean and the next it’s a bird with wings outstretched – thank you so much Samma!!  I hadn’t realised but my name was one of the winners of prizes donated to the recent Beads of Courage challenge on the Wet Canvas Glass Arts forum.  This is such a wonderful charity – and I’m just glad to be able to donate some of beads to help.
