TODAY'S MAIL

Today my mail carrier rang my bell and then left.  That usually signifies that she has delivered a package.  And sure enough this was propped up on my mail box: a package from Shutterfly.

There it sat, just a styrofoam box with this tape on it,  "RECEIVED IN DAMAGED CONDITION".  I shook it.  No rattles.  I wasn't expecting anything; but, I still didn't want a broken something.  So, I carefully slit the package sealing tape and this was inside.

My Valentine from my Florida family.  This is what you will see when I drink my coffee.

This is what I see when I drink my coffee.  Maybe I need to make another mug rug.  Thank you guys.  I love it and you!  Silly post office.  Not at all damaged.

Quilt happy,
Marilyn

What a cute mug. Glad it was not damaged. You definitely will have to make another mug rug! They're cool, easy and addictive and I am sure you could whip on up in no time.

Don't you just wonder how the post office would accept a package "received" in damaged condition. Just doesn't make sense to me. LOL!

Happy to see the mug arrived in good condition. How very thoughtful of your family in Florida. And I agree, it needs a special mug rug!
