Up Over from Down Under

When I arrived home from work there was an envelope waiting for me from Willow Tree, NSW Australia.

Why? Because of Mappa Tassie.

I decided to inspect it closely.
Note: There was a Dangerous Goods Statement.
Note: It was addressed to a Tough Bag. Oooooouch!


Note: I opened it carefully and peaked inside. No poisonous snakes or spiders.


Awwwwwww! Surprise. An Australian Flag, Australian Flag Stickers, and Australian Flag Tattoos. And, a 3 phase fridge magnet. Bobble your head and choose between wombats, Koalas and Kangaroos. This is fun!


Does it get any better than that.
YES!



Here is my 2008 Birds of Australia Calendar. You can't impress better than this.

Thank you so much Peter. It will hang above my computer desk and I will enjoy it every day next year.

Aww. Love the calendar! It's cold enough here to wear my Australia bank robbery hat now. Pete obviously loves you and thinks I am a potential criminal.

Nice loot. Way to go WT! (I knew he was a big softy!)
M@ said…
I hope you have an AMERICAN flag over that one on your desk, Pam. :(

Cause this is America... and if you don't like it, get the f*ck out!
Ms. Kathleen said…
M@ is so crass! So unnecessary! Ugh! He needs prayer ----

Anyway, I am happy to say I am so happy for you! What wonderful gifts. I did my senior research paper on Australia and loved it. I want to travel there someday of course.

Enjoy your gorgeous calendar and delete the above remark from M@...so trashy!

Isn't it nice to get mail!
Makes me wish I had a care package waiting on me tonight. Or more particularly: anything from Australia.
BarnGoddess said…
m@-wow! shame on you. I am SURE Pamela is flying the American flag somewhere....I have both an American Flag AND a Canadian Flag but I am American thru and thru

Pamela! Willowtree sent you some wonderful things. I say JACKPOT :)

Australia is somewhere I would LOVE LOVE to visit!

What great gifts! I'm envious of that calendar. How cool!

Your shot of the first snow fall is beautiful. I'm envious of that snow, too.

Those are awesome gifts!! HE is just one big soft squishy teddy bear!!
Tiggerlane said…
I agree with kaytabug. Willowtree's snarkiness is all an act.

But I secretly think he's sucking up to get one of your card creations!
Kila said…
Wow, very nice bundle of gifts! How nice to add the birds of Australia for you :)

That calendar looks lovely. What a great bunch of loot! I've also wanted to visit Australia for a long time.

That calendar is perfect for you! What a great surprise!

I think WT just wants you to move to Australia. There is some obvious brain washing going on here.
Junebug said…
How absolutely nice! And thinking of you certainly with the calendar of birds!!! :D Well done, WT.
bichonpawz said…
hahahaha! You were right to be cautious....but it was a very nice gift!! Beautiful Calendar!! See....he really IS a nice guy!
karisma said…
Just lovely, aren't they? There is nothing better than seeing these birds flying free every day. On the coast where I live they are quite common, stopping by our front yards for a visit. In Sydney (where I grew up, they were only in cages). It never ceases to amaze me that they are actually wild birds. Not just somebodies pets. I must remember to take pictures when I see them.

What FUN mail, Pamela! And that calendar is perfect for you, Gorgeous!!
