A Sneaky Santa Quiltville Delivery!

20181205_175124

I’ve got Mona helping me process book orders!

She arrived mid-afternoon to spell Jeff who had his other job to go to – she set right in and got busy with learning the ropes of order pulling, invoice matching, packing and postage sticking while I did the job of signing and printing postage from my end.  We are making a great team –

And that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any opportunities for laughter and a few “Oooopss – this postage label doesn’t match the name on THIS PACKAGE!” moments!

Getting closer toward 5pm, after the post office was closed and there was a bit of daylight left, Mona spied a package just as I was printing the label -

“Hey!” She said – “Isn’t Kernersville, North Carolina close to here?!”  “Yes!” was my answer ---

And I looked at the label.

And right then and there Mona said “We should get in the car, and deliver this order to this lady and surprise her!”

“Let’s DO IT!” was our joint answer, and as quickly as I could grab a gift bag and a Christmas ornament we were off --

Is there anything more fun than a surprise delivery??

This just made my whole week!

It was back to the house, more book orders to get out while Jeff made us Tacos for Taco Wednesday.  By 8pm we were so done in that it was a feet up in the recliner, full on Amazon Prime Night -

We started watching the Julia Roberts series, Homecoming.  Have you watched it? We made it through 3 episodes before it was just time to call it a night and head to bed.

This morning we are up and at it again – no postal service yesterday, and there are 8 tubs of mail being taken to the post office this morning before hitting the orders hard and heavy again.

As soon as this posts – we are off and running!

Did you throw your name in the hat for yesterday’s Quilting Cozy E-book series Gift-Away?  10 books!  10 full books!  You will love them!

Have you checked out the incoming links on Monday’s Mystery Monday Link-Up for Part 2??  Some BEAUTIFUL shares there!  Great job, everyone! 

There is still time to get your entry in – they will close Thursday night at 11:55pm EASTERN.

  20. Bonnie, I absolutely LOVE Julia Roberts so watch anything and everything she is in. I watched the first two episodes of Homecoming and just couldn't bring myself to watch anymore. Am I missing something. I love what you love, so I will watch it again. Take care....
