love, and butterflies, in the mail!

It's been a while since I sent cards out.

My thanks to Habitat For Humanity for giving me a solid nudge in that direction!

This quintet of greeting cards was sent by them, to me, in thanks for my "steadfast support as a Habitat HopeBuilder".

"When you send a card to someone," they wrote, "remember how your continued kindness helps families... and how your commitment is helping transform futures."

How very kind of them!

There were two birthday cards, so they'll go to Michael and to my stepmom.

The sympathy card is going to the Prestons, as he recently lost his sister.

As for the get-well wishes, off to Gloria they go!

Now, what more to do to while the address book is out?
Well, there was a quartet of blank cards with Monarch butterflies on the sunroom table...

and, look! there's three sets of those same cards in the dining room...

and, there! another set, all with their very own butterfly-bedecked envelopes!

Off they will now flit, to niece Aubree, great-niece Caitlyn, great-niece Ally, and great-nephew Kobe, all with an extra Monarch inside to decorate a shelf or share with a friend!

Off they will now flit, to great-nieces Leila, Alyssa, Miyah, and Chloe, as well as great-nephew C J, my stepmom Bonnie, and my two nephews in Alabama, Merritt and Conner, with all also receiving stamped and self-addressed postcards to send to me!

The message to each:

"Just fluttering by...

to tell you hi...

as the Monarchs head to Mexico

for the winter! "

I do hope they will enjoy the surprises as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

Good thing I bought those two books of stamps on Tuesday!

What a wonderful series of steps that led me here!

i thank You, God!

Now, it's almost time for my two hours of "Monk" - hooray!

The first one features Garry Marshall as a hose salesman - hahaha!

Later, y'all!
