Candy Apple Red Kitchen Aid!

On Tuesday Night, hubby and I returned home and there was a box that was delivered at our back door.  We hadn't ordered anything.  On the outside it said "Kitchen Aid".  Of course I had always wanted a Kitchen Aid so I asked the hubs if he ordered it.  He said, no.  So I sat it on the dining room table while I scratched my head wondering who in the world could have sent this to us???    Enter Melissa.  You can find her blog here and here.  We met at an internet Embroidery Group over 10 years ago (has it really been THAT long?) and we met in person,  attended church together, had lunch, stitched and chatted for a few hours.  It was a lot of fun and we've remained friends ever since!  We've done swaps in the past and sent each other gifts so I wasn't surprised when she asked for my new address last week.  Yes, it was Melissa that sent the Kitchen Aid and one of her comments on Facebook after I found out it was her was the sweetest ever!  

I know you will use it probably about everyday!  

You deserve it and God just likes to dote, and we like to be a part of it! ;-D

Over the years that I've known Melissa, she's always had a heart to serve the Lord and showing the Love of God in an authentic way with no pretenses.  

Thank you Melissa for being such a wonderful friend and for all of the encouragement over the years!  You are a sweet blessing to me!   

Here's the note that was included in the box~ 

I am blessed!  Over and Over!  

And the instructions and recipe book~  oh yeah!!!
