Most people that know me, know I love butterflies. I have a friend in Australia and we exchange gifts on birthdays and at Christmas. It is so exciting to get a package from her. Not just getting a gift that will always be special, but getting a package from abroad. It always makes my day, my week, and my month for that matter. The butterfly in the photo was one of those special gifts. I keep it near my computer so I can see it every day. It brings a smile. Do you have special gifts you have received as well from a special friend?

No, not really. I have minimal friends by design, and we really aren't the gift-exchanging type.

No special gifts from friends but always enjoy getting gifts from family. And the gift of enjoying life moments is always special to me...

Yes indeed, I am not about material things but these little packages really make my day. Just the thought is what counts.

I have a few tiny items from my youngest Sis Carol. She is a faeries, butterflies type of person too. Your butterfly there is gorgeous and I bet the sun shines through the jewels in it.

That's a very pretty butterfly and I can see why it's special to you. I have a framed photo of my best friend and myself on my bedroom dresser. It's from many years ago but it is a special reminder of our friendship.
