~AN ACT OF KINDNESS~

I have a friend...a dear friend...a friend I have never met in person...but through blogging...many of you...
 my blog readers...are familiar with Jacque...proprietor of the blog "Doodles Of My Mind"
As you may know Jacque is a very talented quilter... I had the good fortune of winning one of her table mats... now holding a place of honor on my kitchen table...Two weeks ago a surprise arrived in the mailbox...a package which had traveled to Maine  from Wisconsin...Jacque...who knows how I adore my grandson Travis and also knows how Travis adores tractors... Jacque who unearthed this  tractor fabric from her material "stash"  immediately knew what she was going to do with it...Jacque thought of Travis...and in doing so crafted a "tractor" sac for Travis Lloyd...a sac which now holds his prized tractor collection...
this little sac travels to story time with us...
it has  gone to the ocean where treasures plucked from the sand were placed for safe keeping...it can hold a snack...a juice box...and it appears Granny's car keys... 

It warms my heart to know I have such a kind and thoughtful friend...Thank you Jacque...Travis and I send "big big" hugs from Maine...

That is a very nice tractor bag. How nice of Jacque to gift you with this sweet gift.

James, my grandson also love his tractor collections of John Deere tractors and real big tractors too.
He also has a collection of school buses. I gave him a see through zippered plastic bag and he puts his buses in there.

Have a nice week.
Hugs,
JB

'Kind and thoughtful', indeed. That sums up how I feel about so many people I've 'met' in Blogdom!

Julie, I am so happy that Travis uses his bag. ~grin~ And, really...it was no big deal. Saw the fabric, knew what to do with it, did it, mailed it. Simple. Take care!
