What a reunion! Remember an earlier post regarding "Gertie the Garden Girl" and my posting how the inspiration came from parting, too quickly, with my VERY first rubber stamp set when I was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator? Well; "Nellie the Nest Lady" and I have been reunited thanks to Marlynn of Honeysuckle Breeze!
There are times when we give ourselves gifts without even knowing it and blogging is one of those gifts I gave myself without even realizing where it would lead. It has lead to doors of blossoming friendships for which I am eternally grateful!
After my post, it didn't take too long, that I received word, from Marlynn, that she can arrange to get Nellie back to me! I was overwhelmed with joy and appreciation and I wanted to share this on my Blog.
Marlynn, so generously and thoughtfully, arranged to find Nellie, for me, and sent her, back to me, in this lovely box. I am sharing pictures, here, of Nellie the Nest Lady stamp set (Stampin' Up!) and the beautiful box that Nellie so deserves!
This stamp set is where I began my art journey! From my first demonstration with Nellie, it lead me to where I am now - in one of the happiest and joyous places in my life................learning, sharing, evolving, and, most importantly, the blossoming of new friendships and wonderful connections through Blogging!
Marlynn; I cannot thank you, enough, for reaching out and returning Nellie home to me.
I have linked Marlynn's Blog above; please visit her when you have time as you will not only be inspired by her beautiful artwork but also her words and sharing so much of herself with her faithful followers.
Thinking of you all with warm and loving thoughts!
Have a great week ahead; all be safe and peaceful within.
Love - Marilyn

Yay! What a relief to have it back, huh? And in such a fun way - pretty cool!
I have got rid of a bunch of my rubber stamps but I do still have the very first one I bought - little did I know that day what I was getting into - ohhhhh! what fun!

I'm so glad that she is back with you again, Marilyn! :) I'll be anxious to see what you do with her.
Marlynn is a wonderful friend who I also met while blogging. I am so delighted that she reads your blog, too, and reunited with Nellie, while establishing an unbreakable bond with Marlynn. I call that a two-fer.
Such a happy story! I'm happy for you.
Marlynn is a dear heart as are you and how fun for two special Marilyn's to connect in blogland ... btw you both keep me on my toes trying to spell your names correctly ;
