A little message from
Faerwillow at **Serendipity** 
telling me she had something special for me on her blog.
To my surprise it was this:

  2. Oh Melinda, I only have a minute to check in and I need so much more to express my gratitude for this.
    The first time I saw your blog, I thought this girl has it right. The photography and style of your blog drew me in immediately. Then I really got into it and read and found your amazing stories and talent. It was all just so sincere.
    When you posted the basket picture, I was so inspired that I had to go find one too. LOL
    You are so talented and caring and I know we would be great buddies if we lived closer.
    I thank you for choosing me to share this with and I love your other choices as well.
    I will be in touch but for now I have to run.
    Take care
    and you deserve it girl, your designs are amazing!
    Sincerely
    your friend
    Amy
