Gifter Revealed*

Whodunit?

So now I know.  The person involved came forward. Amazon was not just mailing out lovely books to witty bloggers who are always eager to snap up a doozy of an idea. In fact it was partly the doings of this massive distribution company that created the mystery in the first place.

A simple, signed note was to be included with the gift book. No note arrived, and thus the confusion.  But she, calling today with a question and a heart-connected chat, happened also to ask, "Did you get the book?"  Bells! Whistles!  Sirens!  Of all the possible folks who would spontaneously call Amazon and jet off a book to me, she was the one most suspect.


I have loved playing Clue--Things I get to do today:  find "dahling" friend Linda, in the Library, with the gift Book!  Thank you, again, Sweet One.

Mystery Gifter

I'm sure I didn't do it.  When I order something, I'm usually pleased enough about it to remember doing so.  And I'm certain I would remember ordering this:  Handmade Garden Projects by Lorene Edwards Forkner.  This is the perfect book for a Handy Andy like me.  I could have ordered it.  I should have.

Gift of a hundred ideas from a mystery fan

While I was away last week,  Amazon sent me a package.  My husband said it felt like a soft-cover book and opened it, telling me what he was finding inside.  When I expressed dismay, he was certain I was overtaken by a severe "senior moment" and had forgotten about the order.  So figuring out where the book came from (Amazon--I know that much) and who sent it to me is tops on the Things I get to do today.  There was no packing slip or gift card with the book.  I have only to believe that an ardent admirer of this blog has gifted me with a manual of inspiring ideas: seeds that will germinate into lush projects and eloquent blogs for years to come.


So to whoever you are:  my deepest thanks.  I'll begin immediately to peruse this text for tripping the trigger on the next shooting, star idea, and I'll note right here in "Things I get to do today" that this lovely book was the starter of it all.  Again, thank you, whoever you are.
