Such a surprise!

I participated the spring swap that Dionne had arranged for 26 blogger friends. I haven't experienced a swapping before and I even didn't know what a swapping is at all until I ran into Dionne's blog. It's her idea to call for participation to her blogger friends. Since I am such a fan of her and her splendid blog, I was sure it would be worth of taking part in.

My swap partner is Kimberly and we emailed each other several times and got to know a little bit of us. She wrote me a very generous and kind mail and made me feel so happy and relaxed about sending out a package to her.
I picked up some little things Japanese and sent out on April 1 as Dionne instructed so that every participant can get the swapping gift around the same time.
My package was delivered to Kimberly. It took about a week to get to her. She wrote about it in her blog at once.

So finally across the ocean, the big package from Kimberly arrived this morning.

The bell rang and I knew it must be one. I ran to the door and saw the postman standing with such a big box in his arms. Wow!


I opened it and look at this! So being springly wrapped. Now what's inside???


I couldn't believe my eyes. There are so many goodies in the box.
different kinds of Chocolates, candles, a little poem book, handmade greeting card and bookmark from Kimberly, a wooden bird and eggs, a wrap of glass pieces, a post card of her town and especially her art in frame is really great. It's my joy that I got her art.
How could ever she been so nice to some one abroad. Thank you so much. I've been so exciting the whole day today.
Thank you Kimberly for taking so much time and so much postage to send many goodies for me. Yes, we are qualifed to be awarded the "international posting award" or something.

We stay in touch. And my thanks go to Dionne, as well. You've made every participants and readers linked together.
