Hello people. Are you having as warm and sunny a day as I am? My garage floor will be cleaned of the gravel, salt, and road spit from this long snowy winter. Tomorrow, snow, and freezing rain are forecast but today, working outside will be a blessing. This post has nothing to do with stitching, just a note of how sometimes, things fall into place perfectly. My MN cousin that is in a facility because of early dementia, loves butterflies and the color pink. I always felt that those who believe they are not heard or can't understand why they are not in control, benefit from writing their feelings in a personal journal. While returning a pair of shoes at TJMaxx, I decided to use the restroom at the back of the store.

As I passed through the aisles, I couldn't believe what I saw. A beautiful, soft, pink journal and next to it, a note card of gold glitter with a butterfly in pinks. Who sent me down this aisle to see them? They could not be more perfect for her. I got a chill thinking she must need them or I wouldn't have been led to them. When I got home, I used a thinned coat of ModPodge over the glitter (which isn't dry yet in this photo) so it doesn't end up everywhere, and I will include a little frame in her gift box.
As I laid the items on the table, the sun came through the window and hit the card. Oh my. It turned into a glorious sparkle of many colors and is just gorgeous! The colors change with each angle and we've all seen this before, but I held it and turned it and watched the colors change like a little kid. More importantly, it made me smile. I hope it will do the same for Sandy.
Wishing you a day filled with color and sparkles,
a smile and a God-wink.

A "God-Wink" ... I like it Marly! I think there are times we all need to slow down a little and pay attention to those "God-Winks".
Hope things are well with you and you enjoyed this glorious pre-Spring day we are having in western PA!

What a precious thing to have happen.Your cousin will have a big smile for that I am sure.She is lucky to have you.
Your cousin will certainly be blessed by that pretty, sparkly butterfly! :)
This is one spectacular butterfly. You really picked a beauty thanks to a little help from "God's Wink". Sandy will be delighted I am sure.
My daughter's name is Sandy too and she adores butterflies of all kinds. She can even tell if is a girl or boy.
How special is that?
Peace to all,

What a lovely happenstance! A perfect butterfly to send to your cousin.
What a beautiful to happen to both you and your cousin. Sometimes things are just meant to be. Hope it brings a smile to her face as it did yours.

This post made me smile! I'm sure your cousin will enjoy your gift.
Happiness (and inspiration) walk in through a door you didn't even know you left open....it was there all the time, Marly, even
amidst the difficult times....
I do believe in "God Winks" for sure ! The lovely butterfly will help your cousin to have a beautiful day.
I'm glad you had a beautiful day in your "neighborhood" both weather wise and art wise.
