I had Corryn take a walk to the mailbox yesterday and she came back smiling with a little box filled with chocolate from The Barbie herself! Oh Deb, what a sweet thing to do. We are holding on Corryn and I, trying to save some for the boys.
I have to tell you that I was proud of Corryn because she doesn't usually leave the house alone, (she is mentally challenge, like a 4 year old), so I watched her all the way, it's on the same street and I had her in my sight the whole time. Had a little trouble with the key and the box, for she knows which one it is but just because I show her. She was beaming when she got the key in and out and then walking tall with the box. Just wanted to share a precious moment with you.
Thank you Deb you made my day with that sweet pea stamp too and the card...did you know that blue is my favorite color ever!
Thanks for looking and enjoy.

A pretty card from Purt! I think we will be under her spell with these chocolates! How wonderful for Corryn to get the mail AND to get a package as well. Purty Brattie Barbie is as sweet as her chocolate!
