I just got a really fun care package from my cousin KF in Ohio. She said that it sounded like I was pretty bummed lately and that she wanted to send me a little smile. And she did! She sent me this adorable crochet owl that she had made. He is so soft and cute and bright – the perfect addition to my desk to remind me to keep my spirits up! Especially on a snowy day like today! (KF actually sells her crochet amigurumi on etsy – you should check out her shop!)She also sent something from down memory lane. When I was in second grade, I used an old Apple IIGS computer program to make a “Magnificent Monsters” coloring book that we printed out and sent to people for Christmas. The pages were full of monsters I had designed on the computer and named after friends and family that I sent the book to. Each one came with a rhyme. For example, KF’s monster said: KF drank a glass of juice and then she turned into a moose. The book gave me and APL a good laugh.
And while I loved the presents, I think I might love the card best of all. The front of the card says:
IF I COULD,Awesome. Sounds like just what I need! Thanks so much for thinking of me, KF! It made my day!
