I want to thank one of my blogging buddies, AA, and Bianca, for sending me such beautiful gifts! It was so nice of them!  Bianca and I have been blogging buddies for the past year and a half. We both really like each others blogs.

They sent us Australian souvenirs.  I got an Australian animal map, a koala pin, a scrunchie for my hair, and a teddy bear key chain.  The gifts were so cute and I have to admit that koalas are just adorable!  The teddy bear had a T-shirt that said Australia on it.


My mom also appreciated the gifts you sent her. She got a map of popular Australian birds, a koala pin, a key chain, and a phone tag.  She loved the birds and hopes that one day she will get to go to Australia and see those birds.  She also put her key chain on her keys and the phone tag on her phone.  Thank you so much!




Have you ever gotten surprises in the mail?

  1. Dear Miriam,

    Thank you for this beautiful post. It was a really pleasure to send you these gifts to you and your mum. BB is not home at this given time as she is spending a night at her cousins place.
    I know she will be thrilled to read your post.

    I am so glad that you and your mum liked your gifts. Sorry I was hoping you would receive your gifts just before Christmas. But as they say it's better late than never.

    I really hope you and your family do come to Australia one day and hopefully met.

    I got two surprises today first your beautiful post and second my wonderful brother in law helped me get back on track so that I am able to blog with you and the other bloggers. :)

    Once again thank you for your very kind post Miriam.

    From your pal down under,
    AA.

    1. Dear AA,

      Thank you for your lovely comment. It was a really pleasant surprise to receive the gifts. We really want to go to Australia one day. My mom even has cousins that live in Australia that we have never met. Maybe one day you can come to Los Angeles too. Have you ever been to North America?

    2. Dear Miriam,

      Thank you writing back to me as it is always so nice to read your comments.
      I must say a HUGE thank you as well for Bianca and I received our gift from you all just the other day. Bianca and I are so very grateful. I also loved the personal card your family sent to me as well as Mrs Yollis. :) I know I will treasure it for many years.

      I would love to come to the U.S.A one day as my husband has a few cousins which do live in Los Angeles.
      Who knows, here is hoping that day we will all meet.

      Now take care and say hello to your mum.

      From your pal down under,

  2. Dear Miriam,
    Thank you so much for this awesome post Miriam. I enjoyed sending you the gifts.

    Miriam I plan to meet you one day in person.

    Koalas are cute but they sleep for a the whole day and then wake at night. But you do not want to wake up any Koala because they get angry.

    I think you would like to come to Australia one day because Australia is a wonderful place to visit.

    From your pal,
    Bianca.

      Thank you for your wonderful comment. Thank you also for your fabulous gifts. I also really want to meet you in person one day. I did not know that koalas can get angry. Is that your favorite animal?

    Having friends is always a bonus in life but having friends who are so kind and thoughtful is one of life's greatest treasures. The gifts look beautiful and I'm sure your friend knows how much of a smile it brought to your family's faces.

    Enjoy 2012. It's started on a very high note all care of a friend. :)

  4. Dear Miriam,

    I am so glad you have formed such a special friendship with my former student, BB, and her mum, AA.

    They are both certainly blogging superstars, just like you and your family!

    The gifts were just lovely. I have been lucky enough to receive a few lovely gifts from BB and her mum over the years too. They are kind and generous people.

    BB and AA both commented that they'd like you to visit Australia one day. I was wondering if there are any special things you'd like to see or do in Australia?

    Best wishes,
    Mrs M☀rris

    1. Dear Mrs. Morris,

      Thank you for your wonderful comment. They are very kind and generous. There are many special things I would want to go see in Australia. I would want to go see a koala because they look so cute! I also saw photos of Sydney Australia from when my grandparent trip and the city looks beautiful. Do you live close to the capital?

  5. Dear Miriam,

    Thank you for your reply. I think you would love seeing koalas and visiting beautiful Sydney.

    I live one hour away from Melbourne which is the capital city of Victoria and the second largest city in Australia. Have you heard of it?

    Best wishes,
    Mrs M☀rris

      I am so glad that you received it. I thought it would take a lot longer to get to you.
