The first surprise package of acorns arrived from Fort Worth, Texas today. Thanks to Dee Dee of Dee Dee's Craft Spot. I was pretty excited when I saw the package in my mailbox, but can you believe the special envelope I found inside? Dee Dee, I suspect that you crafted this envelope yourself, and I think it's great.When I opened the envelope, I found these beautiful acorns waiting for me. I'm getting an education with this project. I'm finding that acorns, like people, come in all shapes, sizes and colors. I have never seen acorns in this color and shape before. Another thing...I guess I thought that, coming from Texas, the acorns would be huge. (Isn't the saying that "Everything is bigger in Texas"?) These are small, almost tiny, mahogany-colored acorns. I love 'em! Don't you agree, they are very cool?
My call for acorns is going to be more fun than I ever imagined! I'm excited in anticipation of all the different and equally fabulous acorns that I know are coming my way. I'll be sending out a little package for Dee Dee yet this week. Thanks so much for sharing some of your East Texas acorns with me!
Don't forget to go over to Dee Dee's blog and say "hi" from me! And if you're interested in sending me some acorns from your fair state, please just send me a message through my email link in my left sidebar and I'll get my address to you. You'll receive a little gift from me for your trouble.
Donna so glad you liked them..I was shocked when I went looking for them too at how small they are here..lol...I did make this package using graphics from ... www.pccrafter.com ...
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see what others you get also...what a fun geography class on line...
have a great week.
How fun to be getting all these packages with acorns...I'm still waiting for our tree in back to drop the acorns......you'll hopefully get your KC, Missouri acorns soon.

I love that you are getting all these acorn packages! How fun! Sorry I don't have any for you - but if I find some, you can be sure they will be on the way to you.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Dee Dee the sweetest person... this is exciting... I will certainly be following this post... I can't send them from Canada through customs but I can certainly try to smuggle some over if I can find some for you...LOL
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You are right the Texas acorns are beautiful ~ love the colors and their little caps too. Will have to get you some from New York too ~ Thanks for stopping by! ~ Rebecca
ReplyDeleteI would love to send you some nice Kiwi acorns but I don't think the US Customs Dept. would be very impressed with me sending them over. Maybe you could have a holiday down under and smuggle some home ;-)
