Surpise in the Mail! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend6 months ago

I got a lovely, hand-made greeting in the mail from a dear wonderful friend from myLot that I had the pleasure of meeting recently.
How thoughtful she is!
Do you like handmade things from friends and do you do them to send to friends?
I never have, but it means so much more when these things are made by the person themselves, I feel.
It was so cute, with a little tea bag of Chai tea included.
How sweet can one person get?
Photo below.
This made my day and I am going to have a lovely cup of piping hot chai now, and you?

That was so sweet and most little things do make our day.

Homade things are so sweet and nice because they come from the heart.


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Yes, Emile, I am happy you could appreciate that too.
It takes time and love to make these little things, just like the drawings and flowers that children bring to us with their hearts full of goodness.
Happy myLotting dear friend..I love that otter is it or what kind of animal?happywub

Ocean Yes I enjoy when the little kids at my daycare take home home made things to there parents it is very touching.

It is a ferret I got one in February this year she will be 1yr old November 9th. She is a great pet me and my husband love her. My husband spoils her to death but she deserves it.

Take care and happy my lotting to you also


myLot reputation of 80/100. emilie2300 (1144)   ranked 3,133 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Yes it is ElicBxn a ferret.

That is very sweet! I used to make homemade things but I don't anymore. I would like to get back into it though. Maybe I will! My sister scrapbooks, and makes homemade things. She is into all of that. She made a homemade card for our father, I just bought one! lol I can't remember the last time someone made me something. Sometimes the least little things can make our day. Also the least little thing that someone does can make our day. If someone does something really nice and sweet it can make our day.


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Indeed this small token from a dear friend, did make my day, more than she probably knows right now.
And with the little added present, it was so beautiful..this tea is nice and hot and tasty my friend.
Wish we could all of us be sitting around the table and having a tea partylol
Happy myLotting friend!happy

Hi, OceanTiara!
I agree! When somebody goes to the trouble of making it for you, it's so much more personal than anything that could be bought. What a wonderful gift!


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Good Day to you Dear Cobra!

My friend Heavensent54, who most myLotters probably remember, sent me two bracelets at Christmas time, one for me and one for my mom. I really wept with joy, she is just so sweet. The bracelets are so beautiful. My mom doesn't wear jewelry anymore besides her wedding ring so I ended up with both, but then it was the thought. She knew we were going through a lot and it would make us happy.

I wish I were gifted with the ability to make something like that. I have so little patience. But I do still send hand written letters, lol. So my friends must be content with those . I just hope they can read my writing! I agree that handmade items are special, you know that person has put their love into their work. That is so sweet of your friend, and sweet of you to share it with us.


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Hello Creme Love
Now that is precious, yes I do remember Heavensent I do!
Is she still on myLot Creme? Or?
Yes, I thought it a lovely gift and a nice thing to share to show how we can brighten eachother's days with small tokens of affection. It always means so much. I hope your troubles have eased Creme.
Happy myLotting to you dear friendlolwubthumbup

I met a friend on a website last year, and she sent me some things as well. She was a fellow christian, and she enjoyed that kind of stuff. Not lately though, and that's okay. She touched me with her spirit, and for that I will always remember.:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

The gift of spirit is something we can treasure always Gemini.
I am so happy you got to meet your friend and nice that you had the Christianity in common.
We should all be Christian in our giving and keep our natures humble.
Friends, good friends are invaluable and memories can last a lifetime. lolthumbup

hiya OceanTiara

It's always lovely to receive gifts through the post but particularly nice when they are hand made. I'm not creative when it comes to crafts, but I've written poems and printed them in scrolling fonts then framed them for several people. They are written specially for the recipient and that's what family and friends love most about them, they are unique.
My friend from Vancouver sent me tea once, it was very sweet and scented, but I can't remember what it was called. I still have the container that the tea brews in. She also makes beaded bracelets and sent me several in a parcel recently. I shared them with my family and one is now in France. Aren't friends good to each other? We should also take a minute to thank all amil services for making it possible.

Alice happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Hello there Alicewub
I would love to see those scrolls..bet they are lovely.
Do you do them in the fancy writing and all?
Your friends are very lucky to have you then..sounds like your friends mean a lot to you, as mine do too.
And yes, you made an excellent point Alice, all the email and internet if we didn't have those, where would we be?
We are so blessed to be able to make friends like this too.
And the real gifts the small tiny treasures keep a persons heart full of goodness yes.
Thanks my friend and happy myLotting to you!happythumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5183)   ranked 371 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

I don't do the writing myself, simply because I'm no good at it, no.. it's done on the computer then printed out. I once tried calligraphy but gave it up as I didn't have a flowing hand. I tried doing it in my own style and wrote a poem for my mum when my stepdad passed away (which she kept) and when I saw it again after some years, I was laughing at it... not the words, the attempt at fancy writing. No, best I stick to computer generated fonts. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. OceanTiara (2962)   ranked 31 out of 12,428 in friend  6 months ago

Oh yes, Alice, that has got to be tough writing your own styles. My hand would be too shakey right now I am afraid too. sadhappy
