Unboxing kindness and a Little Paying it Forward

When life changes we sometimes move differently along our path, or sometimes change paths all together. That recently happened to a SparkBird friend 💜 who generously bequeathed a huge box of kindness and joy to me (spoiler, along with awholelotta Tim Holtz!) Here's what big hearts look like. And I'm offering a little in-kind joy to you...

What a beautiful soul Carol must have. So strong yet so giving. Truly an amazing woman. This gift of treasures is phenomenal! Best wishes to you Carol, you are inspiring in so many ways! Hugs ❤️🤗

Christine it is truly amazing how in someones own tragedy they have the ability to forge through it and spark so much joy for someone else. I don't think she could have reached out to a more deserving and appreciative creator than yourself. Enjoy all your new goodies, I will be watching to see what you create in the future. I also want to thank Carol for her generosity. She is not only sharing it with you but with all of us, your followers. Also I want to wish Carol all the best on this new chapter life is taking her. Hugs and stay well.

Thank you Ina and I couldn't agree more - that out of trauma sometimes blooms beauty. (I've already started setting aside some favorites for my next project)

Mine was a small gesture compared to the original gift, but thank you!

So I've been told! Prior to this windfall I had almost no TH in my stash, just a few odd things...now....glorious!

Can I come over and play?

Totally. It would be a joy to share this abundance!
