thoughts of paps

I've got a friend.

Her name is Paps.
She is my virtual friend.
My blogging friend.
I met her by chance when she happened upon my writing, and commented.
Which, in turn, inclined me to check out what she was sharing with the world.
And to keep up with her.
Keep in tune with what is happening in her life.
Through words.
And lots of awesome photos.
I can't tell you why, for sure exactly, but I feel a kinship with Paps.
Something about her is so genuine.
So nice.
My kind of people.
Down to earth.
Nothing to hide.
A kindred spirit.

My friend Paps.

A while back, before the holidays, she was having a giveaway.
A gift.
To be given randomly.
To someone.
That someone ended up being me.
Yay!
I received the gift the other day.
In the mail.
It was sitting there, on my kitchen counter top.
She had posted pictures on her blog.
So when I opened the package I already knew what to expect.
The photos were great.
But pulling out the blouse and purse.
To hold them in my hands.
Beautiful!
Lovely.
So what I would have expected from Paps.



















I just wanted to give my online friend a shout out. To say thanks. From the bottom of my heart. 

Thank you, Paps!

Oh, and check out her blog. It really is a very warm and welcoming site: thoughtsofpaps.com
