When we went to the farm the weekend before Christmas, we found this in the mailbox...
An envelope with a sparkly snowflake ornament and a card. Turns out, it was from the "mail lady" as she called herself in the card. She does this every year when she works the route at Christmas and leaves a handmade ornament. We hung it on the tree and last weekend, we left a card with gift card for her to thank her for her work during the rest of the year.
Then, for the first time, our local John Deere dealer sent us this Christmas card with Santa riding a tractor (a "reindeere"? ha). We're keeping this one for future decorative use, it's just too fun.
And finally, you all may recognize this picture, it's our lucky "trailcam deer in snow" picture from a few years ago. Ironically, one of you said it would make a great greeting card. Well, one of our fabulous, super talented blog readers, took the picture and made it into a card. She added 3D puffy white snow that sparkles and then colorful, raised snowflakes on the front.
It's beautiful and we are honored to have our picture as a greeting card, even if only for a few or one, ha.
Kindness never, ever goes astray.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures! Mail people, well most, deserve a big thank you and something special at Christms.
ReplyDeleteYou received some really beautiful, meaningful Christmas cards. What a sweet mail lady you have! The John Deere card is perfect for your Farm. I have always really loved your “Deer in snow” trail cam picture. Your reader created such a wonderful, special card. She is very talented.
ReplyDeleteSo much awesome Christmas kindness!
I always gave our mail carrier something for the holidays and at times would give them a nice thank you card throughout the year for all the great service they he / she gave us. We now have a P.O. Box so now give something to the person who works at our post office; also a little something to the person who cuts my hair, thank you cards to our waitress at the restaurant, etc. Just alittle something to show our appreciation for all they do .
ReplyDeleteLike the santa / tractor card. That you can frame and hang on the wall for a winter card decor.
You both have a very Happy New Years and a Blessed and healthy year in 2023
Happy New Year's Eve 😊🎉🍷
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to visiting you throughput the New Year!
