I opened it up and found this beautiful Paris notebook, personalized with my initials (will I ever become less enamored with seeing those?) and a note. I was oohing and ahhing (spell?) as I looked at the book and just couldn't believe what thoughtful gift I was being given from someone I don't even know.
Then I opened the book and gasped. Inside was a nice note and 3 cool quotes about traveling and being adventurous (click photo to enlarge). I then read the note Anna sent (which is also very cute) and clucked and sighed in disbelief at the thoughtfulness involved. I don't think I've ever commented on Anna's blog before, or if I have it's not a regular thing. (FYI: She knows Jenny & Angie and is Price Cream Parlor's (Lisa's) sister so she's familiar with me.) Crazy. This is just another one of the miracles of blogging. Anna, thank you so much!

Unexpected mail is always a great thing. Isn't Anna the most creative? The thank you card I sent you was actually made by her. She is an amazing gal.
Anna is fabulous! I've never met her, but feel like I know her well from Price Cream Parlor and her cute blog. I'm dying for her to come visit. She always has something creative and cute to see on her blog. This was such a thoughtful, sweet gift to send you - amazing!
This is so cool!!
I just got one of the most unexpected good mail cards the other day- a belated birthday card from Pam! I had NO idea who lived at the address on the envelope but was SO happy to read her sweet message! I keep trying to blog about it but can't seem to get to my scanner. I still intend to post about it, but in case Pam is reading- THANK YOU!
{I can't comment on your Paris book out of total envy!! SO damn cute!}
That's really great to get something so thoughtful and unexpected from someone you don't know well. The book looks awesome.
Being thoughtful is very important to me. I actually think about others all the time, but unfortunately my lack of organization (or laziness who knows) has caused it so my thoughts never make it into actions. One of the more important parts of me I'm working on this year...stop saying (thinking) DO!
truly thoughtful gifts are the best. i'm so glad you got something so unexpected and fun in the mail today.
Good mail from people you've never met before is ... I am really searching for the right word ... not finding it, but it literally made me giddy when I got my birthday Skittles from you and from Crystalyn. "OH! Oh! Look!" I kept saying to my boys. Such a delightful surprise. So very thoughtful.
How sweet is that? I love it when people are thoughtful and what a great surprise for you! That is the cutest book ever!!
I must admit I'm jealous. That is the cutest book ever, and I love Paris in so many ways (not to mention we honeymooned there).
Oh gosh, every piece of Good Mail I have received is unexpected and fun.
Being thoughtful is extremely important to me. It's so much easier for me to be thoughtful to friends, and I'm working on being more thoughtful for my family.
**What was the most unexpected piece of

Is being thoughtful important to you? as long as its not a priority over my family..
How cool is this?**way cool!
I have gotten giddy every time something has popped up in my mail. I love how the friendships come so easily.
Being thoughtful is really high on the list for me. I love to help others feel important. It comes back 2 fold.
Your book is awesome. Where did all these talented people come from?
I have gotten so many items of unexpected good mail. Possibly the most surprising was when Lara sent me a survival kit when Marc was in Paris, including the new Pride & Prejudice DVD. So nice, so thoughtful.
It's very important to me to be thoughtful, yet I feel like it's something I constantly have to work at to improve. For example, when I saw the Paris book you got, my first thought was -- well dang! Why didn't I think of that?

Paris! Paris! I'm giddy for you. Can't wait to hear about your travels, you will do great, and it will be wonderful! Lovely gift.
What a great gift! I have many good intentions, and ideas, but not all of them can I follow through on. It is so nice when people are thoughtful like this.
That's awesome. I love reading about everyone else's really exciting good mail days. I really enjoyed your post on comments, too--so for now on I will post more comments.
Isn't Anna amazing?
