A. Nonny Mouse Package Center

[Grizabella]

An anonymous member suggested to me that it would be nice if we could send packages or decks to people who may not be able to participate in exchanges because of limited funds for one reason or another and who don't have big tarot collections. I thought it was a wonderful idea, so I talked with Valeria about it, who also thought it was a wonderful idea. I've expanded on this, because I think it's such a good idea. So it will now include those who might just need a nice surprise due to surgery, illness or whatever as well as the members who may have limited funds and can't afford trades and exchanges otherwise.

Here's how this will work:

If you'd like to put together a package or would be willing to send a deck to someone, PM me privately about it.

Donors are to remain anonymous, using the aka Miss A. Nonny Mouse. :D When you send your package, you will use the name A. Nonny Mouse and your address as the return address or, if you prefer, you can use my address. This is important because if the package is undeliverable for some reason, at least there will be an address the post office can return it to so it won't be lost in space somewhere and we can try to get it delivered again or use it for someone else.

Recipients will be chosen by anonymous nomination. If you know of someone you think would like or should have a package and who fits the criteria, privately PM me with the information and a link to their profile. I will then contact them to tell them that Nonny wants to send them a package and will get their mailing information for you.

I will be keeping a file with the names of those willing to send to someone and also a file of those nominated. That way people can be matched up as nominees' names are sent to me. There is no requirement to send a package if you can't at that moment. No one will be asked to send a package any more frequently than once a month and you have the right to turn it down when you're asked if you can't do it at that time or if postage costs to another country would be too much for you. We want this to be as enjoyable for all as possible.

(c) Once you've taken a recipient to send to, it would be greatly appreciated if you could mail within three weeks. If you haven't mailed within three weeks, I will then assign your recipient to someone else, not because I'm upset with a delay, but just because I need to keep things moving. :)

(d) I will not ask the recipient for their address until the volunteer has the package completed and all ready to mail. That way we don't cause the recipient to worry that their package has been lost in the mail when it doesn't arrive within a reasonable amount of time after they've been asked for their address.

If you're a recipient, please post in this thread when you receive your package or deck so we can know that your package arrived safely.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

Sincere thanks to all who have been so generous as to volunteer to send packages. If it weren't for you, this program wouldn't have done so much good for so many people. :) :heart: I always need volunteers, though, so please sign up if you can send a package to someone. It needn't be anything extravagant.

(Recent changes as of 5/7/08 indicated in bold letters.)

Thorhammer suggested we have a section for links here leading people to just the posts where people are responding to having received their packages to make them easier to find rather than having to read this whole huge thread. I think that's a great idea, so what follows is that section of links.

See what generous folks we have here at AT? Bless you all! Without you, A. Nonny Mouse couldn't have done even a smidgen of this wonderful work. :heart: Thank you all so much!

[Keavy McGee]

What a wonderful idea, Solitaire and Valeria. Nicely put together. What a lovely, generous spirit exists here at AT.

Hugs,

Keavy

[Grizabella]

Wow! What a big surprise! I got a package from Mrs. A. Nonny Mouse! She's a world traveller, evidently. She's in Belgium right now. :D

She sent me a cute little brown tarot bag, some beautiful floating candles, a wonderful little handmade journal, and a handmade Frangipani soap that smells SOOOO fantastic! Also a pretty card with a very loving message for me that I appreciate so much.

I couldn't be more surprised, believe me. It was the last thing I expected. And my mailman had already come and gone but forgot to deliver the package so he just now came back to deliver it.

Thank you so much, Mrs. A. Nonny Mouse, for really making my day! :heart: :heart: :heart:

[Little Hare]

That is so beautiful! awwww!

[Grizabella]

I had no idea this was coming in the mail. I'm getting sick right now and because I'm on prednisone, I usually don't know I'm getting sick till I'm fairly sick, so this came as a wonderful surprise for me on a rainy day when I have a sore throat and feel run down. :) Bless Mrs. A. Nonny Mouse for a beautiful surprise that may just give me a boost and help me get well. :D :heart:

We haven't had much response to this activity so far, but I can tell you from my own experience that it's a wonderful feeling to get a nice, totally unexpected surprise in the mail. :)

[Little Hare]

Solitaire*
i'm sure this will pick up when its meant too! I hope you get better soon!

Hugs
:heart:

[Grizabella]

Thank you peace_pixie. I'm feeling much better now. :)

[Grizabella]

We now have a nominee who could use a package, if anyone is interested in giving someone a happy surprise. :)

[missycab]

Today it looked like it'd be just another monotonous day. For more than a week we have been having rain... and it was really getting on me. I was beginning to feel tired, bored (although I have lots to study for university), without energy and unable to focus, drowsy... So when I woke up and opened the window shutters of my bedroom and I saw that it was still cloudy, I thought: another BORING day...

I was preparing lunch (ehem... actually just "heating" it, it was already done), I heard that the front windows of my house were vibrating. I went to check it out and there was a van, outside, parked, but with the engines still working (that's what made the windows vibrate). A man was picking up something from inside. I wondered: Could it be...? And yes! It was not one, but 2 packages for me!!!!

One was the prize I got here in AT in the poll contest (the Thoth!), and the second one, the HUUUUUUUGE one was from Mrs. A. Nonny Mouse!!!!!! I called my brother Nicolás to see the wonderful things I got!!!! 2 tarot decks: The Sharman- Caselli (it is great!!! And I'm surprised by the box it came in!! So cool!!!!!) and the Jane Austen!!! With its companion book! Just now I'm re-reading "Mansfield park"!!! It's lovely!!! Being a Jane Austen fan, I absolutely love it! :heart: But that wasn't all!!!! I also got a delicate golden tarot bag!!! And a BIG journal, it's pale green on the ourside and it's made of recycled paper!! It' so beautiful I'm afraid to write on it!!!! I also got inciense sticks and 3 candles, that have a delcious smell (my cat Figaro has sniffed them, of course, and gives his approval!!!! :D) And last, but not least, I also received a card, with the image of a beautiful fairy, with the nicest greetings from Mrs. Mouse!!!!

THANK YOU MRS. A. NONNY MOUSE!!!! UN MILLÓN DE GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!! :heart::heart:

I have lots to learn now!!!!

PS: and guess what?? The sun is finally coming out!!!! I should start hanging the washed clothes outside... or they will never dry...

[celticnoodle]

oh how lovely missycab & solitaire! such a wonderful surprise and received when you both could use an extra pick me up too! I love this idea of the surprise package. everyone enjoys receiving surprises, especially when they are ill or feeling down. as Keavy said:

What a wonderful idea, Solitaire and Valeria. Nicely put together. What a lovely, generous spirit exists here at AT. yes! I agree! :thumbsup:

[Grizabella]

I'm so glad to see Ms. Mouse has spread some wonderful cheer again. She's the sweetest Mousie! She's contacted me a couple more times lately to see where she could spread some more cheer, so there may be more happy surprises to come soon. :)

Watch this thread!

[a_shikhs]

That's a lovely gesture by Ms Mouse. :D

missycab and Solitaire*, your packages sound beautiful and so special. :)

[May]

This is such a lovely thread solitaire, I'm sure many more people will get such surprises. I'll love to be on either side of it... may be sometime soon =)

[Little Hare]

I love watching this thread grow!

[Neely75]

Oh, you lucky girl, missycab! Your gift sounds wonderful, and I'm so glad that it came for you when you needed a little cheer!

Mrs A. Nonny Mouse, you are lovely! :)

[Mariana]

Yes, unexpected gifts can cheer you up so much. Even when they weren't meant as a surprise, like the one I got today. I had ordered a few things from Magic Realist Press and hadn't expected them to arrive until next week. But something good out there must have known that I was going through hell (my mother unexpectedly died two days ago, the day before my birthday and the same day that the package was posted) and sped up the package. I've never had such tender feelings about a deck of cards before...

[Grizabella]

Getting anything from Magic Realist is just special, isn't it? You can feel love and special blessings coming out of the package. It's wonderful.

When I got "moused" it was a total surprise to me. Kind of twice-surprised because the mailman had already come and gone that day but he's new so he had forgotten to deliver the package and came back with it. It was a wonderful surprise. :)

Mrs. Mouse is a busy little Mouse lately. Keep your mousetraps put away so you won't snap her dear little nose or tail if she visits you. :D

[Fairawen]

Just a note - this is one of the best ideas I've heard in a while, you loving kind hearted people you!!! *hugs all of AT* It's become part of my re-entering into At process to check up on this thread, just to see the lovely messages... and to see who's the most recent Mouse-y! (Heh)

~A~

[Pao]

i love this idea too!! its great to spread some joy around for everyone. what a great idea!!! :D

[Grizabella]

We've had some volunteers and some who are being "moused" who need a cheer-up. Please feel free to contact me to get on our volunteer list for sending a package or to nominate someone who you think could benefit from one.

Also, if you receive a gift, please post here to let us know. Your A. Nonny Mouse deserves some strokes for making someone happy anonymously. :) Without a post here, they'll have no way of knowing how you liked your package. :)

A great big hug and thank you to those who have volunteered! :heart: You're doing wonderful things. :)

[Elven]

OMG!! Ive been hugely Moused!!! :heart: :laugh:
This is amazing!
I have been not only a bit down, but am going through a very bad sleeping phase again *sigh* ... I sleep when Im broke ... its very economical ... ;) and Ive been madly working on finishing a project off during the night ... then sleeping during the day.

But I had to be awake today ... I had to mind someones house for the cable guy to turn up. I paniced I wouldnt get up, but I did, and went to the post Office on my way to the house ... I was expecting to pick-up the AT travelling deck, and hopefully a cheque from Toshiba ... but the lady came out from the packing area with this enormous box ... I was staring at it ... (the lady at the post office knows me) .. she said "Were you expecting this?" ... I was like Nooooooo??? Then I loooked at the label and laughed .. and said Oh My!! Its an annonymus package ... from a Mouse" ... she just smiled :P ... then I had to explain ...

I raced off to the persons house taking the box inside and opened it ... I was tired and in tears opening the box ... this was just extraordinary. By the time Id read the card ... I sat on the lounge and counted my blessings and gather my thoughts.

Then I started opening all the beautifully wrapped packages!
Firstly a beautifully striped box with a matching pen! A matching striped diary!
A box of Jellybeans! (very appropriate for me ;)) .. A beautiful pendulum kit - with a silver pendulum on a chain, and some pendulum sheets. Then I see the Lo Scarabeo 'Success' Deck! (so needed at the moment) Next .. a deck and book set - True Love Tarot! I have never seen this deck in the flesh!! Totally beautiful! .. Then another deck! OMG - The Davinci Enigma Deck!! (theres a story on this to follow :P) ... And a beautiful big book 'Signs and Symbols'! ... It was all so amazing!! I sat in the quiet reading the book and going over the decks ... I cant quite explain the feeling of being blessed in the moment ... life is extraordinary ....

I always have 3 things in my backpack - where ever I go. My camera, my mini voice recorder and my diary ... so I wrote down my thoughts about my special gift, and I took a photo of the gifts!

The Cable turned up and fixed what he had to - and I decided to go to the cafe where I read Tarot during the week to grab a coffe and show off my new gift :D ... I was sitting chatting to the owner and the waitress, when a lady came in - I hadnt seen her for over a year - she recognised me immediately - she was visiting for the long weekend, and was going home later in the afternoon - could I do a reading for her. No worries! I have 3 new decks! So I did a great reading with the DaVinci Tarot - straight from the box! It went really well - we were reading a bit overtime - she almost missed her train!!
(I have a story with the DaVinci deck - I have one, but the backs have been printed all skewed - the back pattern which is integral to reading the mandella patern - and so Ive never been able to read the backs of the cards - and the frontas are askew as well ... My new deck is a perfect print .. and this is a powerful deck for me to read with! ... so I have my DaVinci back - Yay!!!) :thumbsup:

So, not only did I receive this lovely gift - but it immediately came with a nice reading, and enough money to get dinner and cat food as well!! :P :laugh: .... *Phew* LOL!! Life is crazy and exciting!!

To A Nonny Mouse!! Thankyou so very much!! I am thrilled and so appreciative of what you have given me, your kind thoughts and perfect timing ... what an amazing day!! Life is good!!

*elven bows low*
Thankyou so much!!

[thorhammer]

Elven, that's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! I just got three decks in the mail too, but I ordered them! I was still over the moon, but wow! to have them just turn up out of the blue! That's wonderful! The latest Mrs. Mouse did a wonderful job.

Solitaire*, this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen done in a long time. This thread/idea is inspired and an inspiration. Blessings.

[Guiding Cauldron]

awwww, whata LOVELY thread to be reading on such a rainy, soggy day here in england :)

i can just imagine this lil mouse in her mouse house scurrying around gathering bits here, makeing bits there fr just teh right pieces for the boxes of love she shares.....

now to bestow to ms a. mouse a lil acorn teacup for when she needs a cuppa for inspiration xx

[Grizabella]

That Miss Mousie scurries around all over the world, doesn't she? She's a busy girl! And what wonderful packages she makes up for surprising people with!

Elven, Nonny must have been visiting the mice in your house if she knew you needed a Da Vinci Enigma. That's amazing! I'm so glad you got "moused". It sounds like it came at just the right time for you---and for your hungry kitties, too. :) You must tell your kitties not to kill mice now, because it might be poor Miss Mousie they eat for dinner. :bugeyed:

The A. Nonny Mouse program is such a good idea, but another member was the one who suggested a way to surprise people, I asked Miss Mousie to help ;) and then I took it to Valeria, who okayed it, so I can't take credit for doing anything but facilitating a way for it to happen, which I'm honored to do. It's very rewarding and heartwarming for everyone.

Thank you to that busy, generous little Miss Mouse! :heart:

[a_shikhs]

Elven, that's a wonderful box of goodies you got. :D Miss Mouse seems to be a very generous person. :)

[franniee]

OH WOW that is so nice! Beautiful! enjoy :heart:

[Satori]

That A. Nonny Mouse is a busy little bee!
Today she actually sent something to me and I was incredibly touched by the package. My daughters brought me the package just as we were piling into the car to head off to the playground.

Inside my special envelope a wooden box, tightly latched closed. What treasure chest could this be? What delights wait inside?

A lovely candle, scented with spice and berry and ever so cute in a little glass covered jar.

A deck of cards, still in the cellophane, The Wisdom of Elves and Fairies. How sweet! And one I do not own, so doubly wonderful to find. And it smells delicious too.

A notebook that was used to day as well for the grocery list and to store an ATers address. Not too large, not too small and fits right into my purse!

A beautiful little pouch that stores the deck in it so snugly, and my favorite shade of purple, a rich-toned plum.

Faery stickers and butterfly stickers that are so cute.

An angel ornament, shaped like a heart, and really, just beautiful. We love angels here.

A poem that my daughter read to me as we drove to the supermarket! The Faerie Ring. What a nice touch.

And finally, a small card, signed by the mouse herself! Such pretty handwriting too. Very delicate and fine.

I truly love my gift. I admire the wonderful people who make this possible. I have been struggling with the loss of my Mom and recovering from an illness, so it is nice to know there is kindness and love and consideration in the world.

I believe that all kindnesses get repaid tenfold, and the fun is in not knowing how your gift will come back to you.

'Tis with a happy heart that I extend to Mrs. A. Nonny Mouse my sincere thanks. My kids learned a great lesson today. Thanks for that as well.

[franniee]

Oh Satori! that is so wonderful! :) a special gift.

[May]

Wow Elven and Satori. Busy mousie is very kind too spreading smiles

[Satori]

I'm not sure yet what I will use the special box for, but I am thinking about having my artist brother-in-law paint something on it for me. I really like the box. So thoughtful and clever, a little treasure chest.

:D

[Little Hare]

Elven and Satori

HOW WONDERFUL!!! :heart: this is so fabulous... Well done Ms Mouse

[Neely75]

I remember thinking this project was a great idea when it was set up, but for some reason, haven't given it another thought... Until it came up today.

What a lovely gift to read the adventurous gift giving of A Nonny Mouse! I came in today feeling all blah, because I'd done the right thing and it left me feeling like I'd screwed myself over and simply reading the thread has warmed me to my very cockles and reminded me that not everyone in the world is a jackass... Some people are realy A. Nonny Mouses!

God(dess) bless you all today.

[Grizabella]

Well, I'm very pleased to learn of your warm cockles, Demon Goddess. :D :D :D

And I'm seriously glad that just seeing this thread has brought you some cheer, too. (((((Demon Goddess))))) :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww hugs dear demon g :) I hear what ur saying!! lol

[Grizabella]

I want to thank all the wonderful people who have taken part in helping Miss Mouse spread her good cheer all around the world. And thank you as well to all the package recipients who have posted here to share their surprise gifts with the rest of us. :) :heart:

[Grizabella]

Just to let everyone know, I'm not going to be online much for maybe up to a week, beginning tomorrow. I'll check in when I can, though. We're moving and have a few days to wait till the new place is ready. Then it will take a little time to get the computers back online and running as normal again. I'll miss everyone and be dying to get back with you all permanently, but we do what we have to do, after all.

[Guiding Cauldron]

bright blessings solatairie, hope it all goes well for you and that things feel like home soon :)

[tmgrl2]

OHMYGOODNESS!! Today, I go for my usual run to the post office and there is a little red key, meaning there is a package for me in a special locked box...

Thinking...I haven't ordered anything lately except for a new Sonicare and a used book, I go there, looking for either of these.

Voila! A package from....

Miss A. Nonny Mouse.

Solitaire alerted me I might be getting something in the mail....since I have Games edited out by the filter forum, I had never seen this thread....

I open up the package and find....

A bird feeder holder, two packages of suet to fit the feeder, a boog on Birds of New York!! and a set of Zen wind chimes with a booklet, and a tiny booklet entitled Magic Little Moments .

So, I dig through the bubble wrap and find a card addressed to me....with a lovely, and long note...I started crying as I read the card. I have been feeling somewhat low lately, what with the pain I have been having and the caregiving...wondering how long I can do this, how long my body will hold up.....

What a delight! It made my day...WHOEVER YOU ARE!! Thanks so much for brightening up my day. I even feel as though I will manage the claustrophobic MRI machine once again this Friday.

Thank you!!

love,

terri

P.S. I went out with my big pruning shears, found a perfect spot, so both Eunice and I can watch, me from my bay window, Eunice from her bedroom window....trimmed away some hanging branches and set the feeder on a large branch hanging down where it is easily seen!! What fun!

[Grizabella]

Wow, Miss Mouse is a nosey little creature, isn't she? She's been reading threads and saw where you mentioned doing some bird watching, I see! I hope you have a lot of serenity and fun watching the little feathered Spirit Messengers from your window, terri. They'll be bringing you messages of peace, hope and strength from the Great Spirit as you continue on this journey with Tony. :) :heart:

[morticia monroe]

This is abit off-topic girls, but relevant at the moment, so,,,

I wanted to share with you what the kids and I do every winter. We like to watch birds as well, and one season Trisha said "I feel so sorry for them in the winter, pecking the cold ground looking for something to eat."

So we took some pine cones and tied a string around them so that they could be hung from tree branches. Then we smeared them in peanut butter and rolled them in birdseed. They lasted for weeks! We watched birds of all kinds light on the limbs and eat from the pinecones hanging from the branch above them. And of course the squirrels got in on the action as well. An inexpensive bag of birdseed, jar of peanut butter, and a dozen or so pinecones kept us happy and critter-watching all winter long.

Enjoy your package, tmj, it sounds like you have a wonderful little mouse watching you.....:)

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww how darling! just what was needed it seems :)

Indeed they will. Out came the big, old binoculars...may need to find my little ones!

This was an activity we did with the children at school!! I had forgotten about it. Our school property was literally covered in pine cones just there for the picking...big ones!

[Dwaas]

Today looked like any other these days. Laying on the couch, recovering from chemo and surgery. Doing my exercises to keep my left arm in shape. Waiting and waiting for friday when I get the results from pathology. :rolleyes:
And then the doorbell rang! Jennifer was talking to somebody at the door and when she came back she had a huge parcel under her arm. It is for you, she said!

Together we opened the parcel. You can not start to imagine what was inside! The BEAUTIFUL Fantastic Menagerie Tarot set!!! I wanted it since day one it was available!!! And like that was not more than enough, the mystical Lenormand AND the Mini Jodo/Camoin Marseille! And then there are the sweetest silver EARRINGS!! I was breathtaken! There was also a book called A Creative Companion which will be good for weeks of fun! :party:

And then I read the card, and had to cry. So much sweetness, strenght and friendship from far away, just on the right time when I was feeling a bit tired. There are no words to thank you enough, anonymous angel, for your sweet and generous words and gifts.

I promise to make pictures and will start working with the book, it looks like so much fun! The little Marseille will be my at hand companion to try new spreads. Perfect size, not too mini but small enough to carry around. Friday I will wear the earrings. I feel they bring luck! :)

What great presents! Thank you Miss Mouse! You made me laugh and cry! I am very greatful.

Love, Elisa

[celticnoodle]

Oh Elisa, how nice!!!! That ol' A. Nonnie Mouse has done it yet again! She is a sweet lil' mousie, and I'm glad that your gift has given you such joy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too that Friday you'll get great news, and keep you in my prayers. Yes, I think those silver earrings are a good luck charm and will work it's magic for you again on Friday! Enjoy your gifts!

[tmgrl2]

I know just how you feel, Elisa!! My gift day from A. Nonny was just so special! I put my wind chimes up and will be reading the little Zen book that came from it.

Eunice and I have been going through the bird book looking at the pictures and marveling at the variations on the birds of our area.

Enjoy your gifts, Elisa! I am so happy for you!

[Grizabella]

I just had to peek in this afternoon to see if Miss Mouse has reached others yet, and sure enough, she has! She's just our AT Angel Mouse, isn't she? It brings tears to my own eyes every time I see she's been at work again. :) :heart:

[starrystarrynight]

OOOHH! I am so excited!

My daughter stopped at the post office on the way to class this afternoon, and she says I got something from Ms. Mouse!!!!

Now I just have to wait until she gets home late tonight (she's going to a Halloween something on campus this evening, so it will be much later when she finally gets home. I made her promise not to stay in her dorm tonight, though...because I am so excited to get Ms. Mouse's parcel!)

I will keep you posted...:D :D :D :D :D

(The anticipation is half the fun!)

[franniee]

OH starry! How wonderful!!!! :) :party: whoo hooo!

[Grizabella]

Ooooh, don't you just hate it???? You know you got a package and have to wait and wait and wait------and then in my case, the kid bringing it usually forgets it or doesn't come till a day later or something. :bugeyed: I hope she'll bring it tonight for sure! :D I wanna know what Miss Mouse brought!

[tmgrl2]

This is so much fun!! Can't wait, either, to hear what you got! I didn't even know this thread existed till Solitaire told me she needed my addy for a gift!

terri

[celticnoodle]

oh starrystarrynight, this is wonderful! that little mouse has been busy, and yes, solitaire*, she is an angel mouse! I'm sure your package will be very pleasing--Ms. Mouse always seems to know just what to do/get!

[Little Hare]

This is such a wonderful thread of giving, love and hope

:heart:

love to you all!

[starrystarrynight]

I am speechless!

Ms. Mouse has hit again! And not only did I receive two parcels from Nonny, but she is SO magical that she was able to send them from two different parts of the country at the same time!!! :D

And what perfect timing, too...I have to go into the hospital tomorrow for another dreaded all-day chemo-therapy treatment, and now I will be sure to bring the books to read, wear the lovely scarf on my bald head and the pin (which is a sterling silver representation of the unique union of mother-and-child--and so appropriate to my daughter's and my situation which often feels like just the two of us against the world) on my tee-shirt, and the Tarot Cubes to try out while I'm hooked up to the IV.

Of course, I will leave home the Special Edition Gilded Tarot, which I cannot believe Ms. Mouse parted with (that is really TOO MUCH!) and the fanning powder that I truly need for several of my decks at the moment! But they will not be far from the front of my mind, for sure.

I am flabbergasted (and that word cannot even do my feelings justice right now) and hardly able to see as I type, what with the tears falling down my cheeks!

I SO do not deserve this. I've said it before and I'll say it again. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love,

Deb (SSN)

[6 Haunted Days]

That is just wonderful!! It restores my faith in the warmth, kindness and just general goodness seeing such love and generosity :)

I see a Sark book there, she is the best for making you feel on top of the world....her words and images are pure magic balm for the soul. I have all her books.

What a beautiful thing Starrynight...my prayers and love go with you :love:

[celticnoodle]

oh starry, how nice!!! it sounds like such a wonderful little mousie pkg and I'm glad you were gifted. I'm sure you'll think of ms. mouse every time you use one of these precious gifts.

[May]

I just love to read this thread. There is so much love in world and I feel it here. I come to read this thread specially when I'm low, it makes me feel better all the time =)

A nonny mousie is a dahhlinggg

[tmgrl2]

I couldn't wait to hear what you got, starry! Nice it came before your chemo tomorrow....

Just enjoy it all!! You DO deserve it!

love,

Busy little critter, that A. Nonny, eh???

terri

[franniee]

oh how excellent! NICE A. Nonny Mouse!!! :) Enjoy Starry and perfect timing but I bet that was divined :D

[Briar Rose]

Ms. Nonny Mouse sent me the most wonderful parsel today! I got two pretty boxes; one with sand dollars, and one is a huge amount of *sea glass* which is magical, and always makes me smile.

I had to go to physical theraphy today for my knee, and they told me they are requesting my dr. to Rx me a walking cain (they said it would be temporary). So, I was really down about that.

Then I had to go to get an MRI and I was so nervous about that, and laying perfectly still for 20 minutes.

Ms. Mouse's package arrived on the day I needed cheering up!



Thank you so much Ms. Nonny. I love the gifts. You are so thoughtful.

And warm wishes to everyone not feeling so well this season. Love and hugs to all.

[Dwaas]

A. Nonny Mouse is an angel! I am so happy for you Starry and HeavensVault that she has sent you love and hope too! :)

[Neely75]

Gotta love that little Mrs Mouse! She's wonderful! :)

Yay! The Mouse strikes again! How wonderfule HV....so glad you were cheered up with the package.

I have an MRI today...I have had 5 of them...this time, I am doing a sitting one, open, since I can't lie still for 45 minutes on my back (without too much claustrophobia). Glad to hear you are on the mend.....

[Little Hare]

this is the best thread to read... its so wonderful and magical

[celticnoodle]

Heavensvault that is wonderful! That sweet little mousie. I love to read this thread and see what Ms. Mouse has been up to. It is a lovely spread of hope, and happiness and so good to see how sweet Ms. Mouse is! Enjoy your treasures Heavensvault! way to go, A. Nonnie Mouse!

[starrystarrynight]

I find the need to acknowledge another gift (even though I know that the nature of this thread is to be anonymous...)

Still, I am in receipt of a beautiful print sent to me by cirom with provenance, documented: "Dear Deb, I understand that you received an anonymous gift of a limited edition of the Gilded Tarot. Here is a companion print from me of the Major Arcana to keep it company. Regards, Ciro Marchetti. 10-30-07"

I just wanted to publicly thank Ciro and all the wonderful ATers who are so kind and generous with not only their time and talents, but also with their treasures.

You guys ARE the best.

Love,

Deb
"starrystarrynight"

p.s. I will post a .jpg once I get the print back from being framed! It is gorgeous!

[celticnoodle]

how lovely starry! such a treasure!

[tmgrl2]

Yay! A nice companion to the deck, indeed!

Enjoy!

terri

[franniee]

OH that was so kind of him and your mouse too :)

blessings Deb!!
:heart:

[Grizabella]

What wonderful gifts, starry! Ciro is one of our angels here, too, for sure. He's so generous with his gifts of art just in having created his fabulous tarot decks in the first place and then with gifting some of us with his works on top of that. He's a gift to the AT community in many ways. :)

And you DO deserve all the gifts you've received. :heart:

[Little Hare]

Wow that is so beautiful! awww i love reading about all the love here

:D

HUGS all ROUND

[Debra]

I received a beautiful pair of hand-made earrings out of the clear blue from an angel here--she flies under heaven--Thank you, dear.

Here is a start.

[Briar Rose]

Hi Debra. ::::smiling brightly::: Miss Nonny is working extra hours these days, I hear.


AJ:

I never picked up the cane. I just couldn't do it. The knee gets better each day. The weirdest thing is that I have 2 different looking legs! Hopefully I'll get my strength back in my right leg and it will look like the normal one.

But thank you for the web site. Maybe I'll have to break down and get one for the winter because of the snow and ice. Rats!!!!!!!!

[Kahlie]

:heart: Lots of hugs to everybody :heart:

Just love reading about the giving Spirit and Love that's here. :)
Oh, and I'm so darn glad I'm not in any situation where I need cheering up or hugs... This thread makes me so grateful!

[6 Haunted Days]

Guess what suprised me today?! ;)

Why that little sneaky mouse! What a wonderful suprise on a gloomy, cold rainy day :D

I opened it to find a beautiful card with a very sweet message. Some truffles..errrr YUM....my husband isn't getting any of these :laugh: A gorgeous light blue pashima shawl....it's so soft and delicate. A velvet/sheer scarf/reading cloth in a striking multi-colour motif...very very pretty! A Da Vinci tarot....way cool!! I don't have any of the Da Vinci decks, so this is a great addition! And lastly an adorable dark purple leaf candle holder, anything to do with candles I love!

Thank you, thank you !! :love::* This put a bright happy smile on my face. I've been very down and anxious lately, mostly about my arm and slow progress/pain, and it's so wonderful to know people care when one feels so very alone. This package was sent with warmth, love and kindness....thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Solitare, this is just a great and loving thing you're doing, reading the posts in this thread have restored my faith and hope more than once. You're truly an angel!

:love:Much love to you all :love:

I've been reading this thread off and on for a week or two. What a wonderful mouse Miss A. Nonny is! It's great to read about the pleasure she's bringing to so many people.

[Morgan of Avalon]

I just can't express how delighted I am I found this forum. The spirit of giving, kindness, love and light for those in a dark place gives me so much peace and hope.

Just to know people out there are thinking of others, people they don't know that may need a pick me up or a shining light is incredible. The healing this thread has given to me alone today is worth more than I can say!!!!!!

Keep it up you wonderful people...the world will catch on! ;)

Morgan

[firefrost]

Miss Nonny is lovely, isn't she?

As you say, the feelings from her recipient's joys are a tonic in themselves.

:)

[Guiding Cauldron]

whenever i'm blue or a tad down i love reading this thread too! Its lovely warm cheer brightens my day and brings a smile to my face :) Not only do teh recipients get a great cheer basket but us readers get a smile and warm fuzzies too!!

[nanab]

Everything said about this little mouse is true. You don't have to be a recipient of a package to get blessed. I know this cuz I've been going through a couple of BAD weeks and all the love here makes me feel alot better. Keep it up Miss Mouse.

[starrystarrynight]

A. Nonny for President! :D

What a feel-good thread!

[Dwaas]

A. Nonny Mouse rules!
She helped me through some really nasty weeks with packets of love and fun! I can not say how thankful I am, it made me laugh, I lighted the candle, I got warm hats for my head, although I am not so very bald anymore! There are little hairs growing back, looks like my curls are gone and I get straight hair back!! :) I got books, stones, silver jewelry, candles, and a big mouse!! the fantastic menagerie tarot and bunches of love in the parcels! Miss Mouse is an angel.
Thanks a million, I feel blessed. Love, Elisa

[Little Hare]

I really :heart: reading this thread so much, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

A. Nonny Mouse's you do a wonderful Job!

[Grizabella]

Elisa, so good to have you back! :heart: And I'm very glad Miss Mouse has been doing some extra hard work carrying packages to your door, too! She's like the Engergizer Bunny, I think, with all the hard work she's been doing all around the world. :D

[Grizabella]

I can't access my volunteer/nominee files right now due to the fact that I can't use the hard drive in my own computer at the moment, so I may be somewhat behind with keeping Nonny up on the latest. If there are any volunteers or nominees I need to know about for the month, please PM me with them and I'll start a new file on this computer while mine is down.

Computers are a wonderful invention, but nothing beats a piece of paper, huh? I can't tell you how many things I've lost thanks to computers. In this case I don't expect to have permanently lost those files, but there's a slim chance I might have. I didn't copy them by hand because I didn't have time before we moved and I couldn't print them, so I hope for the best.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and a big thanks, also, to all who have come to post here about packages received. It's sharing the joy when we can know that the busy Nonny has visited someone again and it gives a lift to so many people to read about it here, as well as to those who have received packages of cheer.

[Netzach]

And I'm very glad Miss Mouse has been doing some extra hard work carrying packages to your door, too! She's like the Engergizer Bunny, I think, with all the hard work she's been doing all around the world. :D

Gosh, I didn't realise that Miss Mouse was delivering all the parcels personally. I thought she was just the administrator. I wonder if she did an apprenticeship with Santa Claus?

[kwesifriends]

wow this is great idea! so how is this work?

[thorhammer]

wow this is great idea! so how is this work?
Have a look at Solitaire*'s post at the beginning of the thread, she explains it all there. It's all fairly simple.

And it might be an idea for you to change the size of your post back to the default - it's kinda hard to read. :)

lol kk I'll read the first post and this is exciting!

[Grizabella]

She's quite the world traveller, Netzach. She sends her packages from so many locations around the world that we can tell she is by the postmarks. :)

[Briar Rose]

Ms. Mouse sent me a package this week and I cried!

What a time for the package to arrive. I dropped my flat iron on my ankle and got 2nd degree burns. So I was feeling really down this week with so much pain. Like I haven't been through enough!

Then I went to this web site name Me&Roo. It has expensive jewelry (not that I could afford it), but it also has the Tibetan symbols meanings (and that is what I was looking for). I am out of printer ink! I hadn't told a single soul I was trying to learn the symbols. Ms. Nonny knew! How is that possible???? Ms. Nonny sent me a box of Tibetan Buddhist symbols knowledge cards. How did Ms. Nonny know that? I didn't tell tell anyone!

And now, this is really freaky... for the past month I have been reading the thread on the Ukiyoe deck. Now, I hadn't responded to any of the threads, nor have I mentioned that deck to anyone. Ms. Nonny sent me the deck!!!! Come on now... This is all too wild.

Then, I was thinking about getting an Oracle deck, one with Moons... Ms Nonny, how could you know that? She sent me the Moon Oracle.

And, I was checking out the Light&Dark deck, and I got that too, mind you not a complete deck...but they don't have to be with me. I love it!!!

I also got some single cards and tarot cut out from boxes and such.

Now, I am not lying, nor am I exaggerating any of this. This experience has been amazing and very supernatural.

Do you think that Ms. Nonny picked up on my vibrational thoughts? How else could this be, especially when I have been so quiet about these things??



The day I got these I did posted a few threads on these decks, but not before!

Blessing to Ms Nonny for you have truly made a difference in my life.

Thank you very much. Love&Light, always.

[Little Hare]

HV

That is truely wonderful....synchronicities like that are amazing and awe-inspiring.

I hope you feel better!

Ms Nonny mouse your a sweet heart!

[Grizabella]

I'm so blessed to be any part of making this kind of thing happen. :) It's just wonderful seeing the reactions and the happiness that Ms. Mouse brings to each person who gets a package. Especially right now, it lifts my spirits way up, which is very welcome. :heart:

[Neely75]

Wow HeavensVault, what a fantastic gift. And a great example of synchronicity!

Hope your burns feel much better soon.

[kwesifriends]

@HeavensVault
Wow thats fantastic wish you luck and have time caring your wounds yay!

[Netzach]

That's extraordinary! So it seems that as well as being an indefatigable traveller, our darling Miss Mouse is also psychic.

I hope you ankle starts to feel better again soon, HV.

[franniee]

Your story was so much fun HV!!! I hope you feel better too.... :D

[firefrost]

Lovely story, HV :)

[Grizabella]

I was all curled up in my bed this evening, just trying to take a nap because I've been discouraged and I thought it might be a nice break from the gloomies, when in came my daughter with the mail. She woke me up, which she never does. (I taught her well when she was a child. ;) ) She was carrying a box----a package for me?!?!

Miss Nonny has been to Texas! She sent me a beautiful tarot bag and the most exquisite little basket, all handmade with fabric wound onto wire so it's pliable, sewn with embroidery floss that's woven beautifully into the basket in matching colors and trimmed with beautiful beads on the top of the handle. Also in the package was a beautiful bead-trimmed handmade tarot bag with silken gold strings! Both basket and bag are lovely shades of dusty rose, a color I love. Then there was a sweet matching card signed by Nonny herself! Bag and basket both smell just wonderful, too, by the way. :)

I'm so very touched. Right now is a difficult time for me and this just brought such sweetness and light with it. I'm totally surprised and have no idea how this came about, but I certainly thank our little Miss Mouse from the bottom of my heart. :heart:

[kwesifriends]

aw thats sweet wish you to be well soon hehehe have fun I think I love hose pouches hehehehe!

[Grizabella]

I just thought I'd update this.

I'm always losing my glasses. I can't wear them while using the computer and my insurance won't pay for tri-focals, so I take them off and then forget where I put them. I love tumbled stones, too. So I filled the little basket part way full with my rhodonite, red jasper, carnelian, a little piece of red tiger eye, and a tiny tumbled piece of rose quartz my daughter found out in the mud in front of the house. (I cleaned it up, of course.) The stones look beautiful in the basket because the colors match the colors. I put the little basket of stones by the computer, and I put my glasses in the basket, too, when I'm not wearing them. Now I'll always know where they are. :)

My large size Motherpeace deck "wants" to live in the bag and it fits beautifully, so that's where it is now. I put it on the other side of the computer. I taped the card up on the wall beside the computer, too, next to the medicine bag Mi-Shell made for me awhile back. I don't know the Motherpeace at all, but have thought that someday I should read the book and get acquainted with it just because it's such an "oldie". Now I'll be reminded every day that that's a learning experience I should indulge in someday.

Thank you again, Nonny. :heart:

[Little Hare]

Yay! solitaire*
i'm so glad you've recieved a beautiful gift

:heart:

wish I can get also have gun another time and always put your glasses on your table hehehe so you won't forgot it.

Now go back to sleep :D

That Nonny is a busy little critter! Glad you enjoy your gift, Solitaire!

[Grizabella]

Thank you so much everyone. I really appreciate the loving thoughts behind my package. It's very meaningful and touching to me right now. :) :heart:

I've still not been able to access my files on this program, so it would be a great help to me if those with nominations and those willing to send packages would contact me again so I can rebuild my files. There's no requirement to send a package unless and until you're ready to, so if you want to participate, don't feel reluctant to get on the volunteer list.

At present, I have one person on my new nominee list. Contact me if you're interested in sending a package to them. I know this is a difficult time of year to stretch the budget to cover one more, but you can do it after the New Year if you'd rather.

PS--Please remember to PM me with nominees or if you want to volunteer. We want to keep this anonymous, you know. ;)

[kwesifriends]

yay gud luck to those people who nominate yay I want to know whats the next items to be send!

Someone on this forum arranged for a bottle of champagne to be delivered to the hotel where my husband and I are staying while he's on leave from the army....I'm flabbergasted. Thank you so much my dear Mouse!

[Aulruna]

Nonny is simply the best... and one creative mouse, too!!

This is such a wonderful thread...

:love:

[kwesifriends]

Wow thats a great story Nonny is the best!

[Grizabella]

What a romantic Miss Mouse she is! ;) And she figured that one out without my help this time. She fits right in here, doesn't she? She's a psychic! :P

[Disa]

A psychic?!?!? Where ???

(that cracked me up)

That is soooooo coool! :D

[thorhammer]

How wonderful, Debra! That's such a beautiful gesture!

\m/ Kat

[Grizabella]

I'm shocked! Nonny sent me an Amazon gift certificate! I've never had one before. I don't even check my email often because I usually just get ads so when I went there and saw it, I sat there stunned for a few minutes. At first I thought it was an ad till it registered in my mind. I had no reason to get anything from Amazon and then it finally sunk in that it said Nonny Mouse on it.

Thank you so much, Nonny! I feel so touched! I don't really even know what to say except "thank you so very much!" :heart:

Now I'm just going to have to figure out how to use it right so I don't screw it up.

[kwesifriends]

yay congrats again hehe have fun with your certificate!

[cheekyminx]

What a lovely thread :D Loving the stories.

I did my bit of goodness, but I can't say what it was, cause then the person will know who it was lol So it's a secret. Shhhhh

[firefrost]

What a lovely thread :D Loving the stories.

Hehehe...Lots of lips sealed here now })

Nice, Solitaire :)

[tmgrl2]

I'm glad I still subscribe to this thread....Couldn't happen to a nice person, Solitaire!

It's easy to use the gift certificate...you won't screw it up...scroll down on each page as you place your order...there is a box on lower left that asks for promotion or gift certificate codes.

My kids know I love this as a gift, so I get them for birthdays and Christmas.

And NO...it didn't come from me...LOL...but it is a great gift!

terri

[Aulruna]

What a lovely surprise!

Nonny never seems to run out of ideas :D

[Little Hare]

Solitaire* Yay! that is wonderful :) I'm so glad you've been Nonnyed :D
You deserve it :)

[Little Hare]

I thought i'd post this quote which i found this morning... it reminded me of this thread;

"When you carry out acts of kindness
you get a wonderful feeling inside.
It is as though something inside your body responds
and says, Yes,
This is how I ought to feel."

Rabbi Harold Kushner

[Netzach]

Last week was a bad one - something happened out of the blue that put me under a great deal of stress. Fortunately I have a wonderful husband who gave me support and encouragement throughout, but it was still tough. On Tuesday we went away for a couple of days (we'd booked it some weeks ago), stayed at a nice hotel, ate good food, did our Christmas shopping and generally relaxed.

This evening we came home. I was already feeling a great deal better. However, to make things better still, there was an email waiting for me with information which (hopefully) will resolve the problem which was causing the stress. And - the icing on the cake - there was a parcel from Miss Mouse.

Now, what I have done to deserve the attention of Miss Mouse, I have no idea (as I told Solitaire when she asked for my address) but all I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEAR MISS MOUSE -this came at exactly the right time to lift my spirits and take me back to that positive feeling that I had before I was hit between the eyes (so to speak) last week.

My parcel included some lovely crystals, a CD of music for yoga, a beautiful spread cloth with a Celtic-style design in green and red and . . . oh how super . . . a Lenormand deck in a beautiful bag. I've had the Titania cards (which are based on the Lenormand) for years - in fact, they were the first deck of any sort that I ever bought - so I'm delighted to have a copy of the Lenormand itself. And everything beautifully scented with some cinnamon pearls in a little gauze pouch.

Dear Miss Mouse, thank you so much for your generosity . . . the timing could not have been better and, in the same way that everything conspired last week to make me feel totally down and stressed out, so everything is now working together to make me feel happy and positive and optimistic once more.

[franniee]

Wonderful netzach!

I am so happy you received something to lift your spirits! And you got a nice getaway too!! Wishing you well!!!

:heart:

[celticnoodle]

Netzach, how wonderful for you! That mouse sure gets around, eh? I'm sorry you have had a bad time of late, but it seems from your posting that your last few days have been especially blissful! Sending you some light and prayers that all will continue to improve for you too! Enjoy your mouse pkg!

[tmgrl2]

Yay for Netzach!! Well-deserved, my dear....you are an angel to so many of us here when we travel through the darkness ...and doldrums!!

Enjoy!

It does lift the spirits, does it not??

love,

terri

[Grizabella]

This is wonderful! The beautiful thing about this is the way the packages are received at times when people are going through rough times. Netzach, I'm so happy for you that you got a wonderful package and that it came at just the right time for you! :heart:

I'm so glad to be a part of helping it to happen. I've been very surprised when I've received packages myself! I had no idea I was going to receive those, believe me! Or my Amazon gift certificate, either! (And by the way, Miss Mouse, I didn't peek at anything. I didn't know how, anyway. LOL )

[Netzach]

I'm sorry you have had a bad time of late, but it seems from your posting that your last few days have been especially blissful! Sending you some light and prayers that all will continue to improve for you too! Enjoy your mouse pkg!

Thank you CN . . . and everybody. I'm happy to say that the stressful situation has been resolved today to my entire satisfaction. And I'm sitting at my computer with Miss Mouse's goodies next to me and, every now and again, having a sniff at the cinnamon pearls (I do love the smell of cinnamon) and admiring the crystals and the cloth and the really beautiful bag the Lenormand deck came in. And shortly, I'm going to listen to the CD.

I forgot to mention that there was also a sweet little card in which Miss Mouse had written a lovely message. And, yes, she does get around - she seems to have posted this from Germany! (I'm sure she's related to Santa Claus . . . or maybe she's in training to take over his job.)

[cheekyminx]

It's so nice to read the latest additions on this thread :D Good to see AT is filled with caring and genuine people.

[firefrost]

I'm very happy for you, Netzach. Glad things worked out.

[Guiding Cauldron]

I LOVE reading this thread and I just caught up on the last week of events, I adore Ms.Mouse and all teh cheer she brings!! Congrats to the newest recipients of those who was blessed :) Love and light all xx

[kwesifriends]

I love reading this thread. Wow thats wonderful.

[celticnoodle]

Thank you CN . . . and everybody. I'm happy to say that the stressful situation has been resolved today to my entire satisfaction.

You are welcome! And YEA!! I'm glad that the stress is lifted from you! Now, enjoy your goodies and the holidays to come! :D

[starrystarrynight]

Yes, Netzach, Ms. Nonny works in mysterious ways, doesn't she?...she almost seems psychic! :D

And her timing is perfect.

[Aulruna]

It's so wonderfully uplifting to read about the adventures of Miss Mouse, and of her spreading the joy & the cheer :D

Also happy to hear things are looking up for you, Netzach!

[Grizabella]

Oh my gosh! I got another Amazon gift certificate! But this one came in the mail. I can't believe it! Miss Mouse is so wonderful and I can't believe she's been so good to me! Thank you so much to the wonderful Miss Mouse! :heart:
I'm totally astonished, believe me!

[Neely75]

That's wonderful, Soliataire, and much deserved!!! :)

[thorhammer]

Wow! Lucky you! You'll have to follow through and let us know what little treats you get for yourself!

\m/ Kat

[firefrost]

Oooh, yes - let us know what you get yourself! :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

Happy Holidays to you and yours SOLATAIRE!! :)

[Netzach]

I'm so glad that Miss Mouse is finding little gifts for you, Solitaire. It's lovely to think of her trotting round getting things for people on her list and then spotting something and thinking "Solitaire would like that"!

[Lewen]

I just discovered this thread (I really should get out more! :D) What a great show of generosity and kindness. I needed to read this today, it lets me know there are still kind people out there (and I do believe they all reside here at Aclectic Tarot!)

This reminded me of a christmas in 1995/1996 when I was homeless and living in what they called "Transistional Housing". We were part of a church for a while and they were taking up a collection for the needy. My oldest daughter was nearly four when she wanted to get some canned goods and donate something. I wanted to teach her the value of sharing so we bought canned goods with the little we had left and our last $20 to add to the money collection. The time came to add to the collection and we put our contribution in. I noticed some funny looks and I ignored it, thinking most likely I was being judged for not giving as much or something.

Later that night, we were home and putting up christmas rings that my oldest made in daycare when there was a knock at the door. It was the people who took the collection. They brought in about five boxes of canned goods and boxes and other food, a ham and an envelope that had about $300 in cash. I will never forget that day. I cried and my oldest was like, "Mom! See? People share!" I will not forget that lesson.

I still remember it to this day, my circumstances have changed yet once again, but not as dire as it was back then. My two oldest kids don't remember that (and the oldest vaguely remembers it, she's 14 now). Until about four years ago, we always tried to do one good deed for Christmas/yule.

I am looking forward and working towards the goal of getting myself back into the position where I can continue that tradition of "passing it on." This thread brought back a fond memory. Thank you!

Blessings and Hugs to all!

[thorhammer]

Lewen, what a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing that, it's as though you've sent a whole Nonny package to us all. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy, even though it's about 15 degrees C (in the middle of Australian Summer) and I'm shivering. Thanks.

\m/ Kat

[Netzach]

That is a wonderful story, Lewen. Thank you for sharing it.

[firefrost]

Lovely story, Lewen, thank you.

[kwesifriends]

[celticnoodle]

Lewen, that is a beautiful story that I'm glad you shared. It brought tears to my eyes! Yes, I believe that every good deed comes back to you, and your story proves this! What a wonderful story! Thank you again for sharing and Happy Holidays to you & yours, Lewen!

[Aulruna]

Loved your story, Lewen! I gather that life is getting better for you, and I hope this trend continues... I always admire how you handle everything, the big family (kids and relatives!) and your studying! You rock!!!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Lewen ur SO right even when there is only a little in your pot, somehow you can still find the resources to keep giving to others.

We're very much like that this year. My youngest is 3 yrs now and we very much like to make and give to others as we can. It may not be anything amazing, or even cause to celebrate but we put as much love and thought into it as we can and love to share, even when our own situation is a bit bleak at the moment.

bright blessings lewen, much love to you and yours this Holiday Season xx

[silverwings94]

Lewen,
What a beautiful story.We went through something like that many years ago. The church that we belonged to at the time did the same for us. It is something that you never forget.
My youngest(20yrs) and her boyfriend work for the same company and the company 5linx Enterprises adopted a family this year for Xmas. My daughter and her fiance took on 2 of the 12 children and went Xmas shopping. They purchased food, winter caots,hats,mittens, boots and some toys for these two children.
I am so proud of them.I guess I instiled in her the true meaning of giving to others.Even if its something small, its always apreciated.
Solitaire, Can you sign me up on this list.

I have read all these wonderful things that Ms. Mouse has done and I would love to help her out.
Blessings and Love,
Silverwings94

[Grizabella]

What a beautiful story, Lewen. Thank you for sharing it. I'm sitting here just crying away, with tears all over my shirt.

I've always taught the kids that no matter how little you may have, you still have enough to share with someone who has less. That's why they're so busy getting things ready to share with the elderly lady in the woods.

I've been so touched by the Nonny gifts given to us lately because I never, ever suspected such a thing would happen but it's so very appreciated. And it's more touching and appreciated than anyone can know.

Solitaire,
Your sharing of what your family did for this lady touched my heart as well.
And thanks to all of you for your time and giving in this venture. It is truly appreciated.

My oldest daughter, "Gauner", and I were talking about that Christmas and she and her sister are wanting to do something for someone locally, so we will be looking to see what we can do with what we have. Now that I've discovered this thread, I will be watching it.

Again, many blessings to you all, big hugs and a Blessed Christmas/Merry Yule/Holiday Blessings to you all!

((((((((Everyone)))))))) :)

[Grizabella]

OK at this point I'm becoming speechless! Today I got an American Express gift card from Nonny! :bugeyed:

I'm overwhelmed at the goodness of people here. I was so down and discouraged not very long ago and now I actually have packages under the tree for the kids! The looks on their faces when they came in from school today were priceless. They plugged in the tree lights tonight and we haven't had those on for weeks. They're laughing and joking and asking to shake the packages. It's wonderful! This is the way kids should be at Christmas, you know? (I'm actually sitting her crying---what a sop I am! I couldn't be a midwife---I'd drown the poor baby. :rolleyes: )

The first box came from Amazon today from the first gift certificate and I was able to wrap the contents (not saying anything the kids might see :P ), plus I went out and got other things to wrap. It was wonderful. There's one more thing I'm going to order for one of the girls that won't get here in time for Christmas, but she's got a birthday Jan. 11th that it will be in time for.

I had no idea when this Nonny Mouse thing started that it was going to be me and the kids who would benefit in any way. I almost feel guilty for it, you know? But I appreciate it beyond measure. I just don't have the right words to express it because "thank you" doesn't seem like enough.

[tmgrl2]

Solitaire...you go girl!!!

Well-deserved!

Brought tears to my eyes as well!

love,

terri

[Neely75]

Gosh Solitaire, don't cry! You're making me cry too!!

Seriously, I can't think of a more deserving person to receive this generosity. I know the expressions of thanks and surprise written by the receivers would be more than enough to make starting this thread worth it for you. But beginning something as wonderful deserves thanks from everyone here. It's just one of the reasons you deserve these gifts. Enjoy them. I'm so happy they have bought so much joy into the lives of you and your kids, especially at this time of year.

Now I have to go find a tissue!! I don't know how much sense my words make, I'm just so happy for you.

:heart:

[franniee]

YIPPEEE a wonderful christmas ! That is what it is all about! :)

:heart:

Tomorrow I am going to send my daughter with a toy to school for a collection for toys for tots.... she knows it is for another child... we have a barbie to send her with. :) It's ALL GOOD!!!!

[Grizabella]

I hadn't realized how quiet the kids were being till tonight. They're out in the living room tonight trying to guess what's in their packages and there's lots of silliness and laughter. They've been sitting by the tree playing a card game for awhile but then the "guess what's in the package" started and they're teasing each other about what might be in the packages, like "no, I think you got Santa's socks" and such. They're having great fun with it. I wish you could hear them.

I got a sugar cookie recipe from online for them because they want to make some sugar cookies for the lady in the woods, so that will be next or else tomorrow they'll do it. Their heart is in the holidays now. :)

Thank you again so much! :heart:

[Debra]

Solitaire, you're always talking about these grandkids of yours--but we never hear how many there are, or their ages or boyness/girlness? What's the census at your house this year, dearie? Come on, Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

At my place, this year it's me :D and the Good Cat and the Bad Cat. NEXT year I hope husband will be here--he's a bit of a bad cat himself, but I love him!

[Grizabella]

Well, I'm raising two girls who are now 15 and to-be-13 next month and then my grandson who is 13 lives here. :) Thank you for asking. I've had the girls since they were newborn---one since she was less than 24 hours old and the other since she was 5 weeks old. (Sigh!) I don't know where the time has gone.

[Debra]

Wow. Lots of love in your heart, Solitaire--hope you are feeling loved in return this holiday season!

Solitaire*, it sounds like you will have a wonderful Christmas... and of course, Nonny would reward her most special minion!

[firefrost]

I'm wiping a tear from my eye, too!

No need to feel guilty in the slightest, Solitaire - just enjoy with your grandchildren and have a brilliant Christmas.

[Guiding Cauldron]

ok i know i'm hopped up on night nurse/night quil meds but I am SO happy and crying like a loon for all here! Brightest blessings Solitaire you deserve so much luv....you have such a giving heart and wonder shines from you to others, never doubt that.(((HUGS)))

to know that your middle ones- meaning teen crew are actually excited and LOVING teh holiday season now is a true blessing of peace, hope and love!

Thats what i like about this thread, even the humbelest of earth angels (and mice) will willingly give whatever they can just to bring JOY and blessings to another....that makes my heart swell with emotion, and thankfullness.

[Lewen]

Solitaire,
It sounds like we have kids about the same ages! You have such a kind, giving heart, bless you!

Just you sharing the kids excitement and describing their guessing game makes me feel like I'm right there, I'm excited too! I hope you share more when you have the time!

What is this sugar cookie recipe you downloaded? I'm always looking for a good sugar recipe, perhaps another thread should be started on cookie recipes!!! :D I know your elderly neighbor would enjoy them.

[starrystarrynight]

Well, I'm raising two girls who are now 15 and to-be-13 next month and then my grandson who is 13 lives here. Thank you for asking. I've had the girls since they were newborn---one since she was less than 24 hours old and the other since she was 5 weeks old. (Sigh!) I don't know where the time has gone.
Indeed! Where does the time go? My daughter turned 21 this past year!!! I've been raising her alone since my ex left when my child was 7. It is unbelievable when you put it down on paper (screen) in concrete terms.

Time flies, for sure!

Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

[tmgrl2]

Special blessings to you, Solitaire!! ...and to you, starry. My daughter has been raising her daughter since dead-beat dad wanna-be musician left when Nat was four. Nat is now a sophomore at Columbia and in March, mom, who is in her 50s, will be a nurse anesthetist. Power of love!!

[Grizabella]

My first husband left me with my first four kids and ran off with the "other woman" (one among a string over the years but one with money) and I raised them mostly as a single parent (need I say---without child support?) except I met my late husband when my youngest two were 12 and 17. Then my late husband passed away when these two girls were 5 and 7, so I'm doing the single parent thing again. Single parenting is hard but it's not impossible. The most important thing in the world you can give children is love and good values. Material possessions can be lived without but not love and good values---especially love for each other and compassion for others.

[starrystarrynight]

Material possessions can be lived without but not love and good values---especially love for each other and for others.
Truer words, never spoken. We have done without A LOT of material things over the years, but the other things count so much more, and I could not be happier with the way my daugher is "turning out". If my husband and I had stayed together, we would have had tons of possessions, but I'm not sure the values would have been there for my daughter to glean.

It was much better this way, I think, even if she never had a brand new bike or the like, you know? Much, much better! And she will understand that all better the older she gets, as did I.

[Grizabella]

The travelling Miss Mouse sent me a card from California this time! A very cute Dr. Seuss card with a pretty little work of origami inside and with a note telling me to watch for a box from Llewellyn! Oooooh, Llewellyn! :D

The kids will love this card. They all love Dr. Seuss. When M was tiny (about 2) she had a Dr. Seuss book called The Foot Book and she'd walk around saying "feet, feet, feet!" as she firmly plopped down each baby foot as she stepped along because she liked that part in the book. We always had to read that book to her every day. She loved it so much. So now it's one of those family things that kind of hang on where every so often when something will remind us of it, someone will say "feet, feet, feet!". People with kids will know how that goes, I'm sure. :D

Thank you again, Miss Mouse! :heart: This is such a special Christmas for us all, thanks to so many here who are so kind.

[Grizabella]

I didn't get to post about this yesterday because I had so much else to do that I couldn't get online much and we didn't get to check the PO box till late, but two more lovely packages came yesterday.

One of them from England with a Majors only deck of the Llewellyn cards in the pretty little bag along with a lovely greeting card. Thank you so much, Nonny!

The other from Germany with some wonderful-smelling Christmas tea that I'm going to have some of on Christmas Eve. Then three small gifts I've hidden way deep in the Christmas tree branches for the kids to search for on Christmas. And the cutest little tarot bag with a red gingham border and a red checked gingham reindeer appliqued on it. Also, a little organdy bag of vanilla crystals that I hung on the Christmas tree and a CD of beautiful Christmas music we'll listen to on Christmas Eve.

Thank you so much again everyone! I'm so, so very touched and so is everyone else. This is certainly going to be a very especially memorable Christmas for us for beautiful reasons. :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

blessed be solitaire luv, and to ur teen crew too xx

[cheekyminx]

Such a lovely thread :D

[kwesifriends]

wow thats great have fun on Christmas and 2 days to go!

[Grizabella]

You know, I was sitting here thinking last night and I thought, "Wait a minute---how did this happen? Everyone sent to my new address----and I'm the coordinator of the Nonny program--- so how did this happen when I didn't have any knowledge of it going on?" Nobody asked me for my address so every single gift was a total surprise, but something had to be happening behind the scenes. I had no clue and still don't. However it happened, I'm so deeply touched and so is my family. I had no idea so many people cared that much about us. I know you're all a wonderful group of people, but to shower us in particular has brought so much love and joy to us that I didn't know was there.

I wish you all beautiful, warm, deeply meaningful Christmases and if you have even half the warmth and love that we've been given by you all, you'll certainly have them. :heart:

[Netzach]

And a very, very happy Christmas to you and your family, Solitaire . . . and, of course, to Miss Mouse.

I hope you and your grandchildren enjoy a lovely Christmas.

[Grizabella]

Thank you so much, everyone. I had no idea that so many people cared so much about me and the kids. It's extremely touching and means so much to us all.

Today my Llewellyn package arrived that Nonny told me to watch for. Inside, to my delight, was a full size Witchy tarot! I had it on my wish list because when I got the mini version before I moved, I discovered how very cute it is. I think it will be fun to use on Halloween along with my Vargo Gothic and Halloween tarots.

And I forgot to mention that in my package from Nonny from Germany there was a lovely spread cloth along with the other sweet gifts. :)

This shower from Ms. Mouse has made this such a beautiful and meaningful Christmas. I don't really know how to fully express my gratitude and affection for you all. :heart:

[kwesifriends]

Wow thats great have fun with your gifts and advance Merry Christmas and its tomorrow!

[Miss Divine]

I just read this thread from beginning to end.
So loving & touching, this is what LOVE is all about!
It's great to know there are still lots of people who are still caring and giving. Because there is so much selfishness going on in this material world.

I want to wish everyone here a wonderful Christmas with lots and lots of LOVE:)

X,

Phoebe

Don't thank us. Thank the mice. In our household, they are known as "cat toys" so I'm glad they've found a safe base of operations for Christmas cheer!

BUT...why don't you just...continue being a doll...and after the new year, start a trading thread for anything from the Mouse family that doesn't quite suit...I'm sure they will be delighted by all ways in which your life is enriched....


Thank you so much, everyone. I had no idea that so many people cared so much about me and the kids. It's extremely touching and means so much to us all.

Today my Llewellyn package arrived that Nonny told me to watch for. Inside, to my delight, was a full size Witchy tarot! I had it on my wish list because when I got the mini version before I moved, I discovered how very cute it is. I think it will be fun to use on Halloween along with my Vargo Gothic and Halloween tarots.

And I forgot to mention that in my package from Nonny from Germany there was a lovely spread cloth along with the other sweet gifts. :)

This shower from Ms. Mouse has made this such a beautiful and meaningful Christmas. I don't really know how to fully express my gratitude and affection for you all. :heart:

[Grizabella]

I'm not quite sure what you mean, Debra. Can you give me some details? :)

Oh---by the way----I have several volunteers in my new files but the nominees list is empty. I'd like some help getting some nominees on my nominee list again so I can do some matching up right after Christmas and spread the cheer around. I usually try to comb through the posts myself to see who I can bring to Nonny's attention when the nominee list gets low, but I haven't been able to do that lately.

[Debra]

Well, there's no mice in our house for this reason (see picture).

I think Ms. A.N.Mouse must live someplace cat-free!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

[Guiding Cauldron]

many happiness of teh season to all xx

[Grizabella]

BUT...why don't you just...continue being a doll...and after the new year, start a trading thread for anything from the Mouse family that doesn't quite suit...I'm sure they will be delighted by all ways in which your life is enriched....

This was the part I didn't understand. :) Do you mean whatever Nonny sent that didn't suit the recipient?

[Sophie]

"When you carry out acts of kindness
you get a wonderful feeling inside.
It is as though something inside your body responds
and says, Yes,
This is how I ought to feel."

Rabbi Harold Kushner What a wonderful thread to read through on this peaceful Christmas afternoon. We celebrated last night, as is the French-Swiss tradition, and this morning unwrapped presents. This thread is a gift of joy in itself. Well done, you wee Nonny Mousie!

Peace_pixie, I love that quote. It's so true!

[Disa]

Merry Christmas everyone! May your blessings be many and bright today and throughout the new year. With Nonny afoot, there is sure to be good cheer for a long time to come.

With much love,

Disa

[Grizabella]

Now that the packages are opened and nobody will see what I've written here and lose the surprise, I thought I'd come back to share what I got for the girls with the Amazon gift certificates.

After hours and hours and hours of shopping, I decided to get them board games. Those are such fun for years and years and down through generations. No batteries, electricity or computer needed to run them. But even more importantly, they're a bonding thing where family members have a lot of happy interaction, laughter while playing them together. I got Clue, Phase 10 dice in a tin, Mad Libs, Mad Gab and Swipe. So far their favorite is Clue and they've been playing it over and over again. The other games are a little harder for them to learn, I think, so later I'll help them to figure them out. We haven't had these before so we're all learning from scratch.

We're going to my oldest son's house this afternoon, so when we get home, if I'm not too tired, we'll learn the other games. But even if I'm too tired to help, they'll figure them out, I'll bet. Besides, we have a whole week without school, so they have plenty of time to devote to it.

Thank you so much to all who have made our Christmas so much brighter. I know I've said it before, but there aren't words to express our gratitude. :heart:

Just to add this odd happening. I kept seeing Prime on the pages as I shopped and I didn't know what it meant. I thought it was just an advertisement for their Prime thing. Then on one of the pages there was a box where I could choose to renew my Prime membership in June! I didn't sign up for a membership last June because I don't have that kind of money to spend for something I also don't have the money to use by ordering often. It's almost $80 for that per year. I do remember signing up for a trial membership of maybe a month or two back then, though. So I wasn't charged any shipping on the order! None! All the gift certificate money went for the gifts. Isn't that amazing? It sure was to me! I don't know why I had Prime but I'm certainly grateful for it right now. :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww how lovely solitaire! Sounds like happy, fun, giggling times and many more to come I'm sure :)

[Briar Rose]

Hey Solataire, Ms Mouse said to tell you her flight was delayed. :shhh:

[Grizabella]

Thanks for delivering the message, Aurora. ;) :heart:

[thorhammer]

It doesn't matter how many times I read this thread, it still makes me smile - and tear up! :) - and it's just what I needed since my IRL Christmas could have been better. Thanks, everyone, once again :):heart:

Solitaire*, I think it's beautiful that Nonny could make your whole family happy at Christmas time - she knew exactly what she was doing, didn't she? Right down to letting you choose gifts for your kiddies. Hugs and love to you all. Your family is an inspiration.

\m/ Kat

[serenaserendipity]

solitaire...
be careful about amazon's "prime" thing, because they automatically sign up without telling you and then charge you when the trial ends... this happened to me in early december and i discovered it while organizing my bank account and had to call their customer service # to get it resolved


OVERALL though have a very merry christmas!

i am so happy for you and your girls!

Isn't Clue SO awesome? it's ENDLESSLY fun... my favorite board game as an older youngster, for sure!

sincerely,
s.

[silverwings94]

Merry Christmas Everyone.
Solitaire,
When I read your post it brought tears to my eyes. I do believe that Ms, Mouse is an angel sent from above to bestow all her blessings on everyone.Though some may not believe that she exists, everyone here at AT and on this list knows that she does. She has brought so much joy into the lives of the people that she visits.She has spread her love to so many, and will continue to do so.
You have done something really amazing by bringing Ms Mouse to all.
Huggs,
Silverwings

[Sheri]

Hi everyone,

Per Solitaire*'s request, I have removed the last few posts that were off topic. They will most likely become a thread in another forum here - I'll add the link in this post when that happens.

Now Ms. Mouse can get back to her important work :D


Blessings to you all,

valeria; moderator Tarot Games & Fun

[Grizabella]

Thank you, valeria. :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

Sweet Ty :)

[Grizabella]

Another sweet surprise arrived!

I received a package from England! Within was a little box of sweet treats. A selection of wonderful favorites and some we hadn't tried before along with what follows.

And the cutest card! Nonny sent a "photo" of herself standing in a stocking full of gifts, adjusting a candy cane to look just so. She's such a busy girl, even with filling stockings for Santa, isn't she? :D

She also sent a little deck of playing cards, each one of which has the most adorable fairy on the front, every single one of them different! There are fairies for every season, so I think I might use this deck to augment readings where timing questions are asked. What a great tool for doing that! The fairies are so darling---there are even baby fairies in here! The art work is by Cicely Mary Barker. I absolutely LOVE this! I've always loved fairies.

And there's the most wonderful little ornament she made by putting glitter on a leaf shape cut from the bark of a birch tree from the forest local to where she was when she put together the package. What a treasure! One of my grand-daughters is enamoured of Britain to the extreme, so she was extremely excited to hold it and realize she was actually holding a part of a tree from England. I feel the same way. My roots in the not very distant past are in England on my father's side. My maiden name is English and we've traced our family back to Peasmarsh in the 1600's so far.

Thank you, Nonny! What a wonderful mouse you are! You've made such a wonderful, meaningful Christmas for my family. And the surprises haven't stopped yet, since this came after Christmas.

What a special Christmas! :D

[missycab]

WOW Solitaire!!! Mrs. Mouse did a wonderful job!! :)

[Kahlie]

:heart: Nice to see such lovely work being done in the world! :heart:

I have a question, if I want to nominate somebody, through PM, do I have to specify why I nominate that particular member? Because I have somebody in mind, but I am unsure if that particular member would be so pleased if I state the reason for my request? As you would have to give some private info?

Uhm, I hope this is clear now what I mean, as I am trying to make it look... innocent? So I don't say whom it is, and not what I do not think I should say... gawd... messy!

Kahlie

[Guiding Cauldron]

OHHH Solitaire! That sounds like such a lovely well intentioned prezzie from Ms. Mouse......so sweet and cute for all of you to connect to! I'm sure Ms. Mouse is SO pleased with how well it was recieved. Brightest Blessings xx :)

[firefrost]

It's good to see you and your family still enjoying miss mouses new gifts, Solitaire*!

[Grizabella]

No, you don't have to give any specifics at all if you'd rather not or you think they'd rather you didn't. Please PM me your nomination and we'll match them with a volunteer. :)

[Grizabella]

Nonny brought me a beautiful pair of handmade earrings on sterling silver leverback wires yesterday! They're so beautiful and special. They were in a little dusty rose colored pouch. They've got tiny freshwater pearls and a tiny amethyst chip on the leverback part and there's a little amethyst briollette dangle at the bottom. As sychronicity would have it, not only have I been thinking of having a pair of earrings with a briollette stone dangle, I just happen to have gotten an exquisite necklace for Christmas that's made up of four strands of tiny freshwater pearls. I didn't have any earrings to go with the necklace, but now I do! How very, very special this is! I love them and I love the synchronicity! :heart:

[kwesifriends]

wow thats great Solitaire. Happy New Year and don't forget to wear it tomorrow Have fun!

[Guiding Cauldron]

fantastic just in time for NEW YEARS!! :) Enjoy and get ur party shoes on this year- you deserve it!

[Grizabella]

Okay, now let's start off the New Year right by giving me some nominees. I have a new list of volunteers and soon hope to access my old files for the rest, so I need some nominees. As you go around the forums, keep your eyes open for people who could use a surprise and a little cheer. I try to watch, but I don't get to cover as much of the forums as I'd like, so I need everyone else to help. Send me a PM if you have a nominee and I'll try to make a good match.

Christmas has barely passed, so it may take volunteers a little time to get a package together and sent out, but we'll do our best to help Nonny spread some cheer. :)

If you're a volunteer or would like to be one, send me a PM and I'll put you in my files.

[Neely75]

The beautiful Miss Mouse has done it again!! This time a gift made it all the way to Australia! It was sent on my birthday, and made it just in time for the New Year, so it's a wonderful time to receive a gift. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Miss Mouse. A number of times I've looked at the Russian Tarot of St Petersburg and almost bought it, but put it off for one reason or another. Now I have a copy of it, and it's so much more special when it has been gifted in this way! I was so shocked to receive a message from Solitaire saying Miss Mouse wanted to send me something. I don't know people that well here, and didn't realise I had made an impression on anyone. So Thank You soooo much for my gift!!

:heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

happy new year neely :)

[cheekyminx]

Wow Solitaire :D

Aren't you popular ;) Miss Nonny sure does like you :P and why shouldn't she? You're a wonderful lady :thumbsup:

[Grizabella]

I'm so happy for you Neely! You may not know many people here, but Ms. Mouse was watching from a hidden corner, wasn't she? :D :heart:

[kwesifriends]

Wow that's great Neely and have fun in your birthday don't forget the forum wahahah! wow a new nominee I'll watch for people in the forum that needs gift this year weee!

[Neely75]

I'm so happy for you Neely! You may not know many people here, but Ms. Mouse was watching from a hidden corner, wasn't she? :D :heart:

She sure was! And I'm very thankful!!! :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

ohhhhh ms. mouse is quite she must be recooperateing from the recent holidays. Well bless her she DOES deserve a rest after all :)

[Lexie]

Well, you won't believe it but I just found this thread.. It's amazing!! Well done Solitaire! I wish I could send something to someone who would need it and make him/her a little happier but I can't right now (still unemployed).. I don't have any decks I could give away or anything else that worths something.. but I hope I'll be able to send a package to somebody soon :heart:
this is probably the best thread of all in this forum :) so much generosity and kindness, it's unbelievable!

[firefrost]

Nice one, Neely!

[Grizabella]

ohhhhh ms. mouse is quite she must be recooperateing from the recent holidays. Well bless her she DOES deserve a rest after all :)

The little Ms. Mouse is busy behind the scenes. You should be seeing results posted here pretty soon now. She's scurrying around like mad, getting ready to bestow her surprises again very soon. ;)

[silverwings94]

I wonder where she will be appearing next?

[Nevermore]

It's been up and down these past several weeks so this package was really like a warm pie on a cold day!
Mouse, you really went nuts on me. I feel so guilty and grateful.
In an pretty drawstring bag that will really probably work with my beat up trimmed Thoth, some candies (my favourite hard candy, werther's :)) and this AWESOME brooch. A skeleton with movable legs, a hat and cane. How wicked is that? It marries my love of gothic, silliness and classic dancers. And a lovely bracelet that is made of hand painted black and white beads. It's a stretch bracelet but it will look great with a simple black formal dress, that's how classy the bracelet looks to me. Both make me unusually excited for this year's Halloween, especially the brooch.
Next, a mysterious original painting in a frame called "shark woman"...it's a mermaid sitting on a rock but instead of a mermaid's tail she has a shark tail. I love it, especially how her hair is a lot like mine. Conscious transference anyone? It gives me a lot of ideas on how to redecorate my dorm bedroom.:D
A notebook too in a colour I love, forest/leafy green. I haven't assigned it to anything yet but whatever I write in it will be sacred to me.
Incense! Red dragon's blood. I can't wait to warn my roommates and light away! It's a calming smell. I've never had this kind before! Usually vanilla or sandalwood I've bought.
A chunk of amethyst too. It looks like a normal ancient rock on one side and the other side, sliced straight, it's got a cave of shining amethyst inside. It's just the right size. I always have found either too small or too large pieces...this I can't quite keep in a pocket but it will be lovely to hold at home or too keep on an altar or window ledge.
And at the end...after ALL these lovely heartfelt things...let's just say it was a GOOD thing I was sitting on the floor or I'd have fallen off whatever I was on.
LE FEY! AND THE FULL KIT TOO!
I just...oh man. Thank you, Lady Mouse! Thanks forever.
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[Disa]

Cool! Isn't that just cool?

The mouse rewards the most deserving, I think ;)

It's fun to watch all the excitement.

[silverwings94]

Congrats Nevermore on your package from Ms. Mouse. What a awesome treat for you.

[Grizabella]

How wonderful, Nevermore! I'm so happy for you! :heart:

[firefrost]

Wow, excellent, Nevermore!

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww bright blessings nevermore :)

[Grizabella]

Now wait a minute-----I just noticed Nevermore said she feels "so guilty and grateful". You've got absolutely nothing to be guilty for, you silly girl! :D

[silverwings94]

Well she shouldn't feel guilty at all.She really deserves this. Congrats again Nevermore. Enjoy all your goodies.

[Little Hare]

CONGRATS!!! and you have nothing to feel guilty about! The universe and Ms Nonny work in wonderous ways

:heart:

[Jewel]

Dear Ms. or Mr. Mouse, ~giggles~

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my mermaid heart for the lovely gifts you sent my way. I am not quite sure how I came to your attention, but I want you to know that just hearing my husband say "you have a package here from A. Nonny Mouse" brought a huge smile to my face without even having to open the package. Being thought of by my friends here, meant more than you will ever know.

The box contained a gorgeous transparent yellow bag (sorry I am not good with fabrinc names *LOL*) with flowers sort of like embroidered/sewed on it ... just gorgeous, that now houses my runes! There was some "imp" perfume, which I plan to use next time I feel like being impish ~giggles~, a lovely book on mermaids that, by the way, I had put on my Amazon wishlist which no one here has access to, and the Hidden Path Oracle, which I really like. It has a nice sense of peace. Ohhhhh and a pretty green stone that is now displayed with my dragon collection and where I have a crystal and an amethyst also displayed.

I trully hope your good deed does not go unpunished and that somehow you end up with a windfall of wonderful gifts at some time when you are stressed and not expecting it! ~giggles~. Again thank you for making my day, my weekend, and my month.

Mermaid and faerie blessings to you my secret friend. :*

[silverwings94]

Well Ms Mouse you have really out did yourself this time. My postal carrier was dancing around the Post Office with this package and wouldn't tell me what or who it was from. He really enjoyed seeing me beg for it. Plus I had to promise to let him know what I got.
Again I started prying the box open as I was driving to my daughters to watch my granddaughter. Using a pen I was able to crack the seals on the box.This is not a good thing to do at 55 mph. But what the heck I wanted in.

What a shock I saw when I opened it. I first saw a beautiful tarot bag with people dancing on it in halloween costumes this was filled to the top with candy, a packet of instant Honeyed Chrysanthemum Drink, a tin of little i peppermint mints a packet of buttercream Frosting Lusciou Lotion, packet of Cocoa Buttercream Frosting Hand Creme. A beautiful black and white bracelet and a skeleton pin. Then up popped the Mlle. Lenormand cartomancy Deck Piatnik, this is a deck I have been eyeing for some time and was not on my wish list. How did you know that this is the one I really craved? Next I found a journal that I will use with my new deck . There hidden in some bubble wrap was a heart shaped rose quartz crystal, a clear quartz point and a sodalite stone I think. Also in a bubble wrap was the Astro Mythological by Mlle. Lenormand another deck that I have been eyeing for some time now. Seeing all of this brought me to tears. I dug farther in the box and found my favorite incense,Nag Champa.
Buried in the very bottom of the box was a wooden frame heavely wrapped in bubble wrap. When I took it off I found a beautiful Geisha no.15 by Anneka Sainz-Rahmig.I cried at all the beautiful and wonderful things that you sent to me.
I am not going to ask why you chose me but I will thank you from the bottom of my heart. For you to send this to me and not know who I am has amazed me beyond words.
Thank you Ms. Mouse and may the Goddess bless you and your family and hold you forever in her heart.
Love and light,
Silverwings94

[Nevermore]

Happy Mousing, Jewel and Silwerwings!
Yeah sorry, I'm an old hand at guilt. *shrug* You will not feel guilty! *points at self* that's better.
Haha! Opening a package at 55mph, that's cute. I was excited too and it was lucky I had to go to work when I picked up my package or I would have to open it up right then and there, heehee! Was agonizing to wait to get off work though!

[Grizabella]

What wonderful surprises for the two of you! I'm so glad you both enjoyed them so much. :heart:

Prying the package open at 55mph----sheesh! That's one desperate package opener! :D I'm glad you managed and didn't suffer a disaster. LOL


Enjoy your surprises ladies. :heart:

Silverwings, I guess I'll be seeing you in the Lenormand threads. :D I'm just getting into learning those myself. I hope to incorporate that manner of reading with Tarot once I know what I'm doing.

All of you are beautiful, special people who deserve all the good things you got and then some. :heart:

[nanab]

congrats to ms. mouse for bringing a little ray of sunshine to the very deserving.:)

[thorhammer]

Wow! Ms Mouse was very busy in the last couple of weeks, wasn't she? Those packages sound just beautiful, and I'm so glad that so much happiness came of them.

\m/ Kat

[Little Hare]

Oh I love this thread so much! IT really brings a smile to my day!!!!!

Go Ms Mousie GO!

[kwesifriends]

Wow thats great so have fun with it.

[Guiding Cauldron]

ohh Ms. Nonny strikes again, LOVELY parcels, may you have a long time of enjoyment with your goodies :)

[Lewen]

Oh my lands....oh my lands....I am crying as I speak....Miss A. Nonny Mouse has arrived to my house, a day after my birthday with a present that is so amazing and special...a Greenwood deck with book and some lovely incense...the whole package smelled so good. I called the Bradness and was crying hysterically...he thought he had to go home as someone was hurt or something and it was me just being extremely happy!!!! :D

This is really special to me because I was doubting everything about myself on my birthday (yesterday) and thought about quitting my search and just being nothing (among other things) and I was discouraged in people and everything and asked the Universe for a sign that I was on the right path and lo and behold!!!!! The Greenwood....I.....I don't know how to say thank you. A thank offering is in the works to thank Nonny and the Universe for answering a very discouraged person. I'm floating, literally!!!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!! *hugs Nonny mouse*

I'm going to cry again....I can't explain how I feel right now....Thank you!

[celticnoodle]

Oh how wonderful Lewen! Happy Birthday and I'm so glad that this package came to such a wonderful and deserving person like yourself! What a nice lil' Nonny Mouse, eh?

Enjoy your goodies, Lewen!

[franniee]

Oh that is wonderful all of you! How very special!!! Enjoy! :heart:

[Little Hare]

Lewen

you deserve it! your one of the sweetest people i know!

:heart:

[thorhammer]

Absolutely! What a beautiful gift - and well-deserved! Now put down the light sabre . . . that's it . . . and clutch the Greenwood! Lucky girl! I'm Greenwood with jealousy! :heart:

\m/ Kat

[tarot4fun]

Lewen

you deserve it! your one of the sweetest people i know!

:heart:I will second this! :D

:heart:

[HearthCricket]

I am so happy for you, Lewen! I know how much you wanted this treasured deck and that someone has gifted you with it "anonymousely" shows there are such generous and loving souls out there. I can't think of anyone who deserves it more than you! Congrats!! :)

[Aulruna]

What a beautiful story! It brought tears to my eyes, too...

And it shows once again that Nonny is really gifted with a special clairvoyant sense and knows where she's needed :D

Now, this was a truly distinctive sign for your path, Lewen - and as KAt said, light-sabre time!

[Satori]

What a great gift! Oh my! Lucky lady Lewen! We'll need to get you a name to match The Bradness, so now with this new gift, we'll maybe call you, The LewenWood! :)

[missycab]

This is so nice, Lewen!!! Mrs. Mouse is really good!! :)

[Grizabella]

My gosh, what a fantastic gift! Congratulations to you, Lewen. I'm glad it came at just the right time for you and I'm sure you'll put the Greenwood to very good use. :D :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

WOW bright blessings hun and happy belated birthday :)

[silverwings94]

Congrats to you and Happy Belated Birthday to you. Enjoy your special gift.
Love and Light,
Silverwings94

[Lexie]

I'm so glad for you Lewen!!:D Enjoy your new deck!

Great job M. Nonny :)

[HearthCricket]

Agreed, nicely done M. Nonny! I recently was gifted this deck and am also friends with Lewen. It will be nice that we can now study the deck together, so you have gifted me as well! Thank you for being so generous, whomever you are! :thumbsup:

[MysticalMoose]

Wow Nonny Mouse is so wonderful & clever! Lewen I hope you have many wonderful hours with your precious Greenwood. I love this thread, its so full of LOVE! :love:

MM :)

[Grizabella]

So now we have two here with the Greenwood and I think I saw someone else receive it as a gift recently, so maybe the three of you will be able to do a study group with it. :)

[Saturness]

Lewen, that's so GREAT! It's always lovely to be touched by another's kindness...

You know, i've once received my own pack of kindness from a lovely AT member (that was before A. Nonny Mouse, during a difficult time in my life) . And since then, i know i must share it too with the others. I never, ever regretted this...there's nothing better than making great people like you feel happier :) For me, it pays the expensive shipping and all the efforts put into making a nice little box!

One day, when i'm sad and giving up, maybe someone will also send me a bit of light...no box needed, a hug is great.

It's important to keep this energy so full of love flowing in this world that sometimes seems so full of hate, isn't it?

Congratulations, you surely deserved this Greenwood :D :D :D

~Marina

[firefrost]

Lewen - I am so happy for you!

That is fantastic, I hope you have many happy hours reading and studying with it :)

[Star-Willow]

Wow! What awesome efforts from everyone involved
with A.N.M.P.C.!!
I just found this thread tonight (~~knocks herself on the head~~
"where've i BEEN??!!") and am amazed and heartwarmed by
all the posts...
What a wonderful, generous, kind and thoughtful idea!
I have never posted on any other boards, do other boards

I'm just heartened to know we do this for each other
here at AT....more and more things to love about this site
all the time!
I feel honored to be a (albeit small) part of AT!!

This is such an awesome and loving community, I'm so glad to be a part of it. *hugs to everyone*
You are SO right Lewen.... I love everything about this community :heart:

[Aulruna]

Star-Willow, sounds like Nonny found something useful for you... I love to read the Nonny stories :D

[Disa]

The Nonny stories...hmmm wheels are turning. That would be a great title for an article about AT's Nonny stories, eh? But alas, I only write fiction :)- so far.

Congrats to all the lovely and deserving recipients. It brightens my day to see all of the goodness that people share. It seems everyone who reads this thread is given a gift whether they are reading about the Ms. Mouse's escapades, sharing their good wishes, giving, or receiving. It's a great vibe. What a great community!

Have a wonderful Saturday!

[Knightward]

To Miss A. Nonny Mouse,

I want to express my thanks for the effort you've put in to brightening my day. You most certainly reached that goal.

My package included a Virgo Necklace & Keychain, a calender, a copy of January's Oracle Magazine, 3 Scented Candles, Some incense, and a copy of The Quest Tarot.

While I have not had a chance to read with it yet, looking through the book it appears to be a very interesting deck, and I look forward to learning it's secrets. Flipping through the deck I found the Multiverse Card to be very interesting.

Thank you again.

[Little Hare]

How beautiful KnightWard! :D

Enjoy your wonderful goodies by Ms Nonny!


I love reading this thread... Ms Nonny Mouse is so special :heart:

[kwesifriends]

Many many thanks A. Nonny Mouse! I got home from an exceptionally long day to discover a massive package at the door...

A beautiful hardcover copy of the Waite's Pictorial Key, a mint copy of the Tarot de Paris with sexy matching cornflower blue Tarot bag, and the coolest self-sealed journal...

I can't tell you what a wonderful surprise that was, Ms. Mouse! AT just continues to blow me away: the camaraderie, the generosity, the energy. I feel truly blessed to be a part of this community.

Y'all are the greatest!

Well done everyone!!!

[Lewen]

Caught up on the latest with Ms. Mouse, how wonderful for you all!

I have to agree with the others that this is a kind, caring community full of generous people. It's nice to know that there are still kind, giving people out there!

*hugs to all*

[HearthCricket]

Ms. Nonny Mouse was very kind to me with 2 lovely gifts, last week. I highly appreciate the kindness and as I do know who gave them to me, I have thanked them personally. Much appreciated, much loved. ((()))

[Grizabella]

That's wonderful, HC! I'm glad you've had a Mouse visit as well!

[kwesifriends]

HearthCricket thats wonderful and have fun with your gift!

[gregory]

Have a nice day, HC ! :thumbsup:

[Lewen]

Sounds lovely HC!

[firefrost]

Lovely, HC :)

[Lexie]

Hope you'll enjoy your gifts HC :)

[missycab]

That's wonderful, HC!!! :)

[Sebavin]

How wonderful, HearthCricket! This thread never fails to brighten any day! I have to admit, I'm somewhat of a Mouse lurker...:D:D:D...I can't help it, I love her!

[celticnoodle]

lovely, HC! Can't think of a nicer, more giving person then yourself, and I'm glad you were on the receiving end this time! have fun wiht your gifts!

Ms. Mousie, you are the one mouse I don't mind! :laugh: You are so kind and giving! A real delight!

[6 Haunted Days]

The mouse has been a very sneaky and FANTASTIC mousey today!!! :D

I saw a huge box outside my door and was throughly mystified, anything I'm expecting is small. And it was heavy! Open it up to find a gorgeous card addressed to me! A. Nonny strikes again! I was flabbergasted and felt so loved with the care she took in wrapping, all kinds of colours and papers!

I can't believe how generous, thoughtful and loving these gifts are. Enough to treat me to a whole spa day, and gifts for my son! :love: Look at these scrumptious goodies:

A great set of Mother Goose nesting boxes that unstack to 3 feet. My son, Seth, was playing all afternoon with them, he was squealing and laughing as I unveiled a box, then another box, yet another box :laugh: For hours he had so much fun trying to "nest" them back together....they have pretty old-fashioned illustrations and rhymes on them.

A gel eye mask/shower massage gloves
Eurospa Bath Aviar bath pearls in an assortment of scents (apple butter, ocean spray, wild flowers, rose petal, tropical nut)

Burt's Bees moisturizing kit...I love their stuff! It included lemon butter cuticle cream, banana hand creme, hand salve, almond milk hand cream, milk & honey body lotion, aloe & buttermilk body lotion. No dry skin whatsoever for me in the future, and what pampering!

Wizardology Spells and Potion card game. My son and I will have great fun with this when he's older. He loves the Wizardology I bought him for Xmas.

A huge assortment of herbal and earl grey teas

A toy squeak rat with red hearts all over it!! Someone knows I love ratties!

A package of mini fine line felt markers. How did she know I needed them to colour in my b&w Celtic Oracle?

Lindt Lindor truffles....yum :D A huuuge little big book of Classical Mythology. Gorgeous full colour art and quotes....this book is 1,000 pgs. and stunning!!

A beautiful journal with sparkly gems and beads on the cover and handmade paper....pretty!

A Chiastolite stone for my healing...it's a very protective stone (Nonny printed out a page about it's properties)..it has a hole through it so I can wear it.

And last but least the Da Vinci Enigma Tarot set! Never seen this one before, the art is beautiful (the backs are something else) and the book looks fascinating!

Can you believe the time and caring Miss Mouse took with this self-care package?? Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful gifts. I'm having a bad bad week, lots of heartbreak, and this is just what I needed to raise my spirits and feel loved.

Thank you!!!! :heart: {{{Miss Mouse}}} :heart:

A big hug and :*

NICE PACKAGE, 6HD! Excellent job, Ms. Mouse!

Now if it had only included some grape soda...:laugh:

[6 Haunted Days]

That's like Christmas all over again. Nice one!

No, actually it was better than Christmas! I got no gifts and just cards. So nothing to open....this wonderful mouse gave me a belated Christmas, I was thinking that as I looked at all the pretty wrapped items.... :D

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww what wonderful blessings have come about again! :)

[Netzach]

Miss Mouse has excelled herself! Well done Miss Mouse! Enjoy your parcel, 6HD.

[franniee]

That is so nice! :heart: enjoy!!!! :) That makes me happy!

[rachelcat]

There was a box on my porch last night--all the way from Australia!!! (That mousie gets around!) What a wonderful surprise!!!

The most appropriate card (picture of a cat with a computer mouse in his mouth--What have you done to Ms. Mouse???!!!) says this lovely gift is in acknowledgement of the oracle grab bag/angel raffle we had back in November. That is so unbelievably sweet, you surely didn't have to! But I totally love it! Ok, here's what was in the package:

An adorable cat figurine adorned with mirrors and flowers, two cute Buddhas AND a Buddha in a golden snow globe! Those happy guys will keep me smiling all over the house!

A lovely wooden box with brass inlaid corner designs.

2 scents of BIG CONE incense! Everything smells so good!

2 beautiful crystals: heavenly blue points of celestite in a geode--wow! and a lusciously smooth dark red mookaite. I put them right on top of my deck desk, a place of honor at my place!!

A beautiful spring pastels fringed scarf. Can't wait til it warms up a little to wear this! and a fun little zipper bag with beaded flowers. This may be the new home for my mini White Cats.

Kitten stickers! (They will be popping up on all my correspondence from now on!)

Mints and fruit chews: candy from Down Under, very cool!

Honey dust. Hmmm, sounds very decadent. This needs further investigation, but it already makes me feel so sensuous and feminine . . .

And most of all, the unmitigated taroty goodness of The Fantastic Menagerie!!! I sat right down and looked at each and every card. There are lots of cats and lions. I approve! This is a TOTALLY FANTASTIC addition to my collection--number 205! And I'll always remember it was a completely surprising and very kind and loving gift from the most wonderful mouse in the world!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel so special and cared about! I'm so thankful for all my AT friends (and for AT, too!)!!!

[firefrost]

Nice one, rachelcat - sheesh, that mouse can move..!

[missycab]

Wow, Mrs. Mouse is great! Spreading joy all over the world!! :D

[huredriel]

Miss Mouse has struck again .............. I've been away all week in hospital ..... and came home on Saturday to find that an attempted delivery had been made, which I had to reschedule for today ........... lo and behold ....... a box from Miss Mouse :) ........ which revealed the Inner Child Cards ........ something that's been on my wishlist for several years now!!! So a huge thank you to Miss Mouse ........ because I've had all manner of things go wrong lately ....... and added to that major hip surgery, the frustration of not being properly mobile for the next couple of months and ..... I'll admit it ;) ..... a wee bit of self pity to boot (today is the first day that I've been on my own) ......... this had put a huge smile on my face today!

So thank you, thank you, thank you ........ I send you lots of love & hugs back, wherever you may be .......... oh and whoever Miss Mouse is ........ has lovely writing & taste as well, cos the card & message included were beautifully written!

Hugs
x Huredriel

[firefrost]

Aww...(((huredriel)))

Hope you enjoy a speedy recovery.

Miss Mouse has been really busy!

Your near me Silver.....isn't this winter been the worst in like a decade? Since October nothing but blizzards, snow storms, ice storms, freezing temps. It never lets up!! Just last night and today we had another 8 in.plus some ice got dumped on us this afternoon :rolleyes: I think everyone feels just worn out, tired and depressed from the relentlessness of it.

But...tonight I took a long relaxing hot bath with those lovely bath pearls (I used the Apple butter one) and used some of those yummy Burt's Bee's lotions. I smell pretty good! :) All thanks to Nonny Mouse. And my son has taken to carrying around the middle size nesting box, he loves to put stuff in there and lug it around with him.

[Grizabella]

Neither sleet nor snow nor rain nor hail shall stay Miss Mousie from her rounds. :D Isn't that what they say about the mailman, too? It's something like that.

I can't tell you how proud of and grateful I am to all the helpers of Nonny Mouse around the world. You all know who you are! :heart: Without you all, none of this generous loving activity could happen. It's a wonderful work you're doing.

[silverwings94]

Hi Haunted Days,
I'm in western NY just west of Rochester about 1/2 hour by expressways. It seems every Tuesday we get dumped on and it lasts forever. Its either snow or freezing rain. Right now its 24 and freezing. I haven't seen the sun in days the sky is always gray.My arthritus is killing me it makes it hard to knit and crochet and shuffle the cards and walk. My new favorite perfume is Tiger balm. Hubby just loves the scent:) .LOL.
I am so happy that Ms. Mouse is able to get to so many places with out the cold bothering her. She is such a bright spot in so many peoples lives. I'm so glad the weather doesn't stop her.

Oh wow, it IS Valentine's day! I forgot. My oldest daughter and her son moved out and my youngest daughter and her SO are out spending a couple of days in a motel for "quality time" ;) for Valentine's day. This morning after the kids went to school, I crawled back into my warm bed and snoozed away for a few hours. The sun is shining and made my room so nice and warm. I just now got up. Sinful!

[Lewen]

Just caught up with all the posts, Nonny's at it again! It sounds like everyone got some lovely gifts, she travels so quickly! I'm happy for you all! :)

Ooooh Mi-Shell, what a fantastic treat from Miss Mouse! Enjoy the gifts :D

[Jewel]

All I have to say is that the creation of A. Nonny Mouse, is the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. They joy she has spread, and the sense of community she has built is one that makes AT dearer to my heart every day, and makes we realize how special individuals on this forum are.

Solitaire, a special thanks to you for keeping A. Nonny Mouse organized and industrious. This is trully a lovely and self less effort that helps us bond together and see that others really see us all as special. Just trully lovely. I still grin with delight when I think of the package A. Noony Mouse delivered to me, it is a joy that does not fade.

[Mi-Shell]

Hi there Mouse Fans!
I had Nonny Mouse tea for breakfast and am currently listening to Nonny Mouse music!
But, I have a question:
Is, by any chance, the Nonny Mouse single?????
See, I HAAAAAAAVE a Nonny Mouse here - and it is a he!
And he is lonely!
His name is Nasty!
Unfortunately, that is also a little character description for him.
He is NOT one of my normal Deer mice but a pet shop house mouse that I got from Elke, a drummer friend of mine - to feed to Kuukie, my (wild) Owl.
Elke breeds mice for the local pet shop to sell but Nasty was - just nasty! he was the boss of the cage and fought all the other male mice, killed male babies and even bit the ladies... so he was to be sacrificed to the ever hungry Owl Good personified by Ku ku ku uuh, our Barred Owl, that reigns over the territory around our log cabin.... (I have fed her a mouse on occasion and so she comes over and is quite tame)
But, when I got home with a little pet shop carrier box with Nasty in it - a pet mouse - I just could not do the deed! Kuukie has sooooooo many mice to catch out there, she is not in need - as in other rougher winters....
And so Nasty got a stay of execution, a new lease on life and is now all alone in a small cage in my kitchen.....
Does that make him a Nonny Mouse???
I am still trying to "reform" his biting habits......
(Outch!! my index finger still hurts from this mornings feeding.....)
Here is Nasty:
Too bad I just have my phone-cam and he just will not sit still!

He could help delivering packages, you know!
And he would sure bite nosy customs officers.....

[Grizabella]

Hmmmmm, does this explain why Nonny came dragging home in the wee hours with rumpled whiskers, a nip on her ear and a satisfied look after her trip up there? She slept till noon and then sat wistfully looking into space and sighing as she sipped her tea and nibbled her toast.

But I just can't seem to get fond of the name Mrs. A. Nonny Nasty, can you?

Well-----it's the new millenium, maybe he'd be willing to take her name instead.

Except they're both mice so Mouse is their last name----DUH!

[starrystarrynight]

Gee, if they coupled-up, they could give Mr. and Mrs. Claus a run for their money, now, couldn't they?

[Yeah, I remote-viewed A. Nonny writing furiously in her diary after she finished her tea and toast this morning...I think you had better keep a good eye on her, Solitaire*.]

[Essjay]

I read this whole thread today before going to work, it really does give you back your faith in human nature. Just a lovely thread, especially around the Christmas period.

[Lewen]

Coyoteblack, looking forward to seeing what Ms. Nonny drops off at your door! Mi-Shell, your package is just lovely!

Solitaire* thanks for the biggest laugh I had today! :laugh: I needed to laugh after a rough day today....Mrs. A. Nonny Nasty....:laugh: Guess that's where the nasty grams come from, eh? :P

Too cute. I love this thread, it's a joy to come back to and read and catch up. *hugs to all*

[Guiding Cauldron]

i cant wait to see where she pops up next :)

[morticia monroe]

I love it, too! So much fun and makes me feel really good to see someone's day brightened.

[6 Haunted Days]

I love it too! :D

[coyoteblack]

The package came today it is the new LS deck by LS where they blended all 3 traditions into one deck. I have wanted this deck for awhile.

It very much made my day as I am about to be jobless this week. The bag is really cool to.

thank you all

[Grizabella]

How cool, coyote! Let us know how you get along with the deck and what you think of it. I've wondered what it would be like combining all three together.

Have fun with your new deck! Maybe it can help you find a new job. :P I'm only partly kidding----you never know what helpful insight you'll get from it.

[firefrost]

That's a lovely gift, coyote. Enjoy it! :)

[nicki]

Glad A. Nonny Mouse found you Coyote, a well deserved break I think.

nicki

[kwesifriends]

Wow thats great coyoteblack and I wish you will have fun with it.

Another success for Miss Mouse.

This thread always brings a smile to my face.

[Aulruna]

coyote, I'm so happy Nonny found you!

I'm right there with you on the jobless front... decks always spread some cheer :D

Best of luck in finding something new quick!

[Star-Willow]

The package came today it is the new LS deck by LS where they blended all 3 traditions into one deck. I have wanted this deck for awhile.

It very much made my day as I am about to be jobless this week. The bag is really cool to.

thank you all

Lucky lucky you coyoteblack, and well done Ms. Mouse :heart: :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

How exciting! It's great to get a deck you've wanted for a while. Sending new job energy to you. ((((coyoteblack)))) I'm sure something will turn up.

Well done, Nonny, you did it again! Can't wait to see where you go next! :)

[Jewel]

Well darn! Now what am I supposed to get you for your b-day Coyoteblack! *LOL*. No seriously, I am delighted that Mr. or Mr. A. Nonny Mouse came to visit you. She/he has a way of spreading some real cheer and faith in humanity.

[coyoteblack]

Thank you so much every one i rally like this deck it feel great in the hands to.

[Demon Goddess]

I really ought to subscribe to this thread so that I don't end up spending a half hour reading all of the wonderful messages everytime that I light upon the thread!

A. Nonny Mouse is so sweet and kind. I almost want to have something go wrong in my life so that she'll think of me... Isn't that horrible of me? I know that's silly, I've got so many wonderful things going on, Nonny is wise to spend her efforts on those who really need her! I'm just thrilled to get to share her activities vicariously. :)

G-d bless all of you for sharing your gifts. That in and of itself is a gift.

[coyoteblack]

I also received 2 books for Mrs mouse : classic tarot spreads and tarot and numerology by mr sundar.

[Netzach]

This morning the doorbell rang & my husband answered. "Something for you," he said. Well, I've been waiting for some craft supplies and I assumed that was what it was, so I asked him to put it on my work table. This afternoon I went in there and was about to open the box when I saw that it had come from Canada! Strange . . . I ordered the supplies from a British company. Was I expecting anything else? Well only some herbal teas . . . and they, too, come from a British company. So what on earth could it be?

I opened the box and there were two velvet bags - one large green one with a beautiful cord drawstring, and a small long black one. I was getting more an more puzzled. And then I saw the card . . . and it was from Miss Mouse! I was absolutely gobsmacked.

Well, I unpacked all the goodies, saying "ooh" and "ahh" as I did so . . . and there was chocolate, and a packet of almond biscuits, and a jar of almonds in honey, and a pack of orange pekoe tea, and three pots of Peppermaster sauces . . . all fair trade and all absolutely yummy!

If he's very, very good, I may let husband share them . . . on the other hand, I may be greedy!

Miss Mouse, thank you SO much for all these goodies - and for the lovely card as well. You are so generous and so kind. I really can't express how delighted I was to receive this parcel. And, as you no doubt know (being a psychic mouse), you've done it again . . . I've been feeling quite low the last week or so (mainly, I think, because I've had a huge amount to do and have got very tired) and a wonderful surprise like this is SO uplifting.

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww lovley net! thrilled to hear of your joyous news xx

[coyoteblack]

Netzach

That is such wonderfull news from awonderfully person. it is great you enjoyed your gift.

[firefrost]

Lovely, Netzach - I'm glad it cheered you up :)

[Sebavin]

~Just checking in on Nonny--and congrats, fellow thread-killer:P! Seriously Netzach, that is a wonderful suprise, I'm very happy Miss Mouse smiled her little whiskers upon you ~


Blessings~

[Jewel]

ahhhhhhh ... and the mouse strikes again. Darn I love that mouse! Congrats to all who recevied a visit from her this week. She seems to have a knack of knowing when we need a visit most. I just love how empathic she/he is!

[silverwings94]

Ms. Mouse really knows who needs to be cheered up doesn't she. It's really amazing to see where she goes and what she drops off to each one on her list. I think she's much better than Santa Claus, she always send you just what you need.

[starrystarrynight]

Not to get maudlin or sappy, but I just gotta say it:

This forum is one unique bunch of caring people. It is a real faith-restorer, you know?

I so agree. I was telling my mother about this morning's parcel and she was quite amazed that a group of people who've never met each other and mostly know each other only by nicknames can be so kind and generous and caring.

Just a little update on my parcel . . . we sampled the almond biscuits at tea time. Oh wow! Like peanut brittle but with almonds. Absolutely delicious. And this evening, as I was planning to do a stir-fry, I put a teaspoon of pepper sauce in with the tomato and basil sauce I usually use . . . gave it a wonderful zing!

Just when you most needed, and you never know when or if she is coming. Yep better than Santa Claus ~chuckles~

Wow, now that's something original that Nonny thought of! Sharing foods and condiments! What a brilliant little Ms. Mouse! Of course, I'm sure she's going to check the mailing restrictions of the different countries before sending food items. ;) But for those who can receive something like that in a package, it's wonderful!

[The crowned one]

Yesterday there was a soft tap at my front door and little foot prints leading to a box post marked from England. I was moused :)

What a wonderful surprise that was, I have no idea what I have done to deserve such generosity. AT'ers are a group of people I am proud to call friends.

The mouse left a card with a note I will cherish... and a very masculine/ earthy home made(the very best of gifts to me) "OWL" pillow case that is going directly into my favorite room: my pub. I played the CD that came in this busy mouse's package last night and loved it. It is a amazing mix of dance, traditional , and Renaissance music and it has the bagpipe,Pipe & Tabor my second(s) all time favorite instrument(s)!!

Inside a red bad with a Scottie as a clasp was a deck I had never heard of and am looking forward to exploring: The Tarot of the imagination. Some of these cards look amazing! I see it is well reviewed and somewhat rare. I have been blessed and feel absolutely wonderful to have received such a "care package".

That tiny little mouse has a heart the size of a house. It is made of gold and rose. My highest thanks!

[thorhammer]

How absolutely wonderful! You deserve it, TCO! You have a heart just like that, and like begets like. Enjoy your new deck and your other treasures. What a beautiful gesture - and surprise!

\m/ Kat

[Sebavin]

This is the best thread in all of (((ATF)))! How awesome for you, tco, enjoy your presents! Her mousie presence is always so comforting :)

[Grizabella]

I'm so happy for you that you were "moused", TCO! And I'm glad you've enjoyed all those wonderful gifts. Have fun getting to know your new Tarot of the Imagination. It's always such fun getting a new deck! :)

[Aulruna]

My favourite Engineer, you really deserved it! Sounds like a great package from our little psychic mouse friend! Enjoy! :love:

[kwesifriends]

Wow that's great The crown one you deserve it and have fun dreaming with your new Pillow.

[nicki]

Wow hasn't Ms Mouse been busy well done to everyone that received a gift from her,nothing better than to receive a surprise gift when your feeling low!! well done Ms Mouse.

nicki

[firefrost]

That's brilliant, TCO - and I'll join in with your other friends here and say how deserving you are.

Hils x

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh Ms. Mouse strikes again! What a lovely package TCO,may you find mountains of happiness with it in your life xx

[Netzach]

Well done, Miss Mouse. It sounds as though you put together a truly super parcel for TCO . . . who well deserves it.

Now then, I must just tell you this. I always have fruit and yoghurt for breakfast so I thought I'd try the yoghurt with the Peppermaster Chocolate Passion that came in Miss Mouse's parcel. Oh WOW!!!!! First you get the lovely chocolate and then the heat of the pepper hits you . . . this is CHOCOLATE WITH ATTITUDE!

So, all you chocolate lovers on AT (and I know there are a lot of you) DO try this. I've investigated and have found that you can buy it online here (http://www.peppermaster.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37&products_id=86). Chocolate will never be the same again!

[Star-Willow]

Yesterday there was a soft tap at my front door and little foot prints leading to a box post marked from England. I was moused :)

YAY!! for you TCO, you are so deserving of this :)

Enjoy! :heart:

Well done!< Mousey ;)

I agree with you SSN. It is a real faith-restorer. Well done again, Nonny!

[Bernice]

I should NOT browse this Mouse thread, especially when I aught to be doing other things. But it draws me like a magnet, and I end up with red puffy eyes!

May who-ever-your-God-is walk with you all.

Sunny Blessings.

(A secret browser.)

[Grizabella]

Chocolate with attitude! I'm gong to have to try that sometime, Netzach! It sounds very exotic somehow.

[Kahlie]

Well, I've been MOUSED!

I was very very surprised... I was running half naked (Luckily the good bits were covered) to the door, expecting the "Traveling Fae Deck", instead I received a Mouse Package?!

I was like: "WOAH!" as I had to run out the door to catch my lunch appointment but I bluntly told him he had to wait because I was going to open my mousey package! He did the eye roll and "women" thingy on me, but it didn't impress me at all! ;)

Thank you so much A. Nonny Mouse :heart: even though you aren't that anonymous in this case... mostly because I don't really use my second name that much you see...

I received a wonderful "Angel Bracelet" with tiny bells, the tale is that when they ring your Guardian Angel is reminded that you need care. I immediately put it on and rang it a few times for good measure ;) Even though today is the first day (even before getting this package) in months that I finally feel like I'm on the road to recovery... I can use all the help I can get!

I also received a largish book from a set of Tarot Cards called: "Tarot in the Restored Order", and it's in Dutch. It's been very interesting so far, although the authors are a bit... arrogant... I quote: "Thoth Tarot is not useful for meditative purposes because it channels sex and violence". Ugh, what does that say about me or them ? Thoth was my first Deck and I still use it in meditation a lot... among other things.
It does contain a lot of interesting info, lots of different ways to look at the Major Arcana, some interesting Spreads and more that I just have to find out. (I'm only half way...)

I also received some lovely chocolate. Somehow, Miss Nonny Mouse must have figured out that I like Dark Orange Chocolate, ever since I hit the UK a few months ago. Now I can make my own Hot Chocolate with it! Also some dark chocolate with peppercorns... I have no idea how it will taste. Sadly, I had appointments today and it's now like.. midnight, so no chocolate yet for me!

I also received a Mini Tarot Art Nouveau! It's lovely and it can be v. handy to have a small sized deck for once! It's larger sister gets totted around quite some!

Also, a lovely Card for me, with The Empress on it! Wonderful, I was tuning into that Major Arcana just yesterday... thinking on how I should nurture myself more... A. Nonny Mouse must be fantastically in tune with me.

Think that was it? Wha, think again. A. Nonny Mouse showered me with even *more* Gifts. I got a beautiful silver bag, with a star on it.. now I have to think what Deck is going to go with that... plus some wonderful Incense and an Incense holder. I think, in the little sachet that comes with it, is some grains to keep the incense from tipping over. At least, I think it is. I told a friend of what it looked like, sugarly lumps, plus grains... and she said: "If you think it's sugar... taste it". I think she wants to poison me or something... If I'm mistaking about what it is, I hope Ms. Mouse will tell me... in any case, I think I should put it in the lovely incense holder...

Then, last but not least, I received a lovely CD, for Relaxation. I tried relaxing with it, but failed. I think it was because I was talking to my mom! :P

I plan to try again tomorrow!

I'm really overwhelmed and I think it's absolutely lovely and adorable!

THANK YOU!

[lilangel09]

I was glancing at this thread earlier today thinking "hmm... where is A. Nonny Mouse? She hasn't been active for awhile..."

Then WHAM! She strikes again! She strikes when you least expect it...

Enjoy Kahlie, you deserve it! It sounds like you got a lot of lovely gifts to your liking (except for the author's arrogance in the book, that is.) I hope you pamper yourself well like the Empress says, and that Miss Mouse may have some tools to help you on your recovery ;). Note: I wouldn't taste the "sugar" either until someone says something about it, lol.

[nanab]

Your package sounds wonderful. Hope it helps in your recovery. Enjoy your gifts.

[morticia monroe]

Most excellent! Sounds like Nonny's got her mojo going again.

Good for you, and enjoy!

[tarot4fun]

Ms. Mouse is one crackerjack psychic! :bugeyed:

I enjoy reading all the wonderful stories of where she's been! :D

:heart:

[Aulruna]

The industrious Ms. Mouse - I so wish I could go peeking into her workshop!!

Enjoy your gifts, Kahlie! :love:

[firefrost]

How lovely, kahlie - I love the sound of your Angel bracelet.

Aulruna - me too!

:)

[gregory]

(((Kahlie))) - hope you feel better soon - and Nonny helps !

[Kahlie]

Thank you all for your kind wishes :heart:
It's hard when things were on a roll and then all of a sudden they fall into pieces around you... I'm hoping that soon I'd be happily stabilized again with my thyroid.

A friend today told me that indeed, as she views it, this grainy/stony stuff is decoration... so, I won't be eating it ;)

The authors of the book let me know that doing Readings through any kind of electronic medium is wrong. Apparently it can interfere with the karmic link you make with your Querent... Doesn't that sound like the loveliest excuse never to participate in exchanges again? ;) wehehehe
I still love the information on Spreads and other stuff though, v. interesting. And at least I'm definitely getting a good laugh out of it too!

:heart:

Kahlie

[Netzach]

Well, I've been MOUSED!

That's great!

today is the first day (even before getting this package) in months that I finally feel like I'm on the road to recovery...

And so is that!

The angel bracelet sounds lovely. And books like that are always good to read because they get us thinking about why we disagree with the author.

As for the chocolate and peppercorn . . . if it's anything like the chili chocolate that Miss Mouse sent me . . . you're in for a real treat!

[missycab]

Wow, Kahlie, that's fantastic!! :D

Look! I could get a pic of Mrs Mouse!!

http://www.magoosemercantile.com/images/wallart/mouse_at_door_and_window_t.jpg

Isn't she cute? :)

[Netzach]

Oh she's adorable . . . and just as I imagined her!

[gregory]

The authors of the book let me know that doing Readings through any kind of electronic medium is wrong. Apparently it can interfere with the karmic link you make with your Querent...

But but but no-one READS electronically (well, I suppose perhaps Orphalese) - you READ with your cards and your head. Surely typing it up and posting it isn't the same thing as READING electronically ???? :confused:

[nicki]

Well done Kahlie, sounds like a great package you received.

nicki

[Kahlie]

But but but no-one READS electronically (well, I suppose perhaps Orphalese) - you READ with your cards and your head. Surely typing it up and posting it isn't the same thing as READING electronically ???? :confused:

No No. They specifically say that Reading *through* any type of medium different then a 1 on 1 person setting is wrong. (Aka, telephone, computer, chat program etc.)... You also can't have a person in the room, because that *also* upsets the karmic link/bond.

I think I must have caused so much upset karmic links/bonds, maybe I should bribe them with chocolate ;)

Thank you all for the kind wishes!

:heart:

Kahlie

[Jewel]

*ROFLMAO* Ohhhh Kahlie you have me rolling with laughter and tears running down my cheeks *LOL*. I am so glad you were Moused! You have given so much to this forum in so many ways. It is wonderful to see it recognized :D

Love you honey! :* :*

[gregory]

If you can't have a person in the room, how can you read for them OTHER than by electronic means.... are you supposed to send them a postcard ??? :confused:

[Kahlie]

If you can't have a person in the room, how can you read for them OTHER than by electronic means.... are you supposed to send them a postcard ??? :confused:

Sorry, I meant to write: "More then one person". So, if they bring friends or other people... they must wait outside the room or the house... oh, and you can't read for pregnant people either...

Still, I'm definitely into this book, because it is challenging a lot of things (with little facts, but with much speculation) which causes me to think. *shudder*

They talk about a completely different Major Arcana order (how it's supposed to be before the Christian Church mixed it all up!) and how 2 more cards should be added!

So definitely I'm v. happy with the book plus I'm getting laughs. Laughs are good! :)

Kahlie

[purple_scorp]

Dear Kahlie,

who on earth would give you advice to taste something that you weren't sure about. Yes, I agree, I think they must be trying to poison you. ;)

Dear all,

On Friday afternoon, I went to collect my mail (all of my mail goes to the general store/post office) and the shopkeeper handed me a box. I looked at the sender's details......Lush fresh handmade cosmetics. I do buy from ebay every now and again but I haven't been on ebay for a while and so, was not expecting anything. And I'd not heard of this company before.

Once I opened the original packaging, I found a beautiful, silver-wrapped box with a bright, orange, organza bow. It was too beautiful to unwrap. How can one piece of ribbon be tied so eloquently into that amazing bow?

And then, there was this lovely note:

"I hope this gift helps to bring love and joy into your life.
Much love and many blessings
Miss Nonny Mouse of Aeclectic Tarot

I was moused!

Boy, was I moused!

And I so need love and joy in my life at the moment. I am in the process of healing. Dealing with, yet another broken heart which I feel is trivial compared to other things that many of us have to deal with. But nonetheless, it was devasting for me.

It's a slow and gradual process but I believe I am making progress. Just the last couple of weeks, the wheel has turned in every other area of my life. I feel that a lot of this would not have happened had I still been in that last, toxic relationship. It's like the Universe is trying to reward me for my strength and courage.

And then, I received this wonderful surprise from Nonny and - it is a real blessing and a reminder that there already is much love and joy in my life. Such a marvellous smell when I opened that box.....hmm, what is that smell......I love it.

In my box was a variety of sumptuous products - so many wonderful things to choose to soothe my heart, soul and body.

Thank you...thank you.....thank you....MP.
And thank you to Kahlie (you know why).

There is nothing that I enjoy more than having a soak in my claw-foot bath (in my recently renovated bathroom). Ms Mouse are you psychic or did you do your homework? I do recall posting in an ATF thread that bathing was one of my greatest joys in life that is free.

Listen to what was in my box:

Butterfly Ball
Irresistable honeysuckle scented bomb with little butterflies inside.
Ah, this was the smell. I love honeysuckle. I have a cake of honeysuckle soap that I store in my underwear drawer. This is what was so familiar. And butterflies....are you kidding me? I collect them (jewelled ones).

Helping Hands Healing, Soothing Handcream
Oh, it smells like apple and cinnamon. And it's small enough to take in my handbag.

Ceridwens Cauldron
This ancient welsh moisturising bath melt is contained in a muslim bag of oats and petals which can then be rubbed over the body to polish skin.
I don't know whether to put this in the bath, or eat it. I used to eat rose petals as a kid.

Sea Vegetable Soap
With sea salt and lime oil to improve circulation and wake up your brain. This soap is as refreshing as a dip in the ocean and just as good for the soul.
I went to the ocean over the Christmas break. It is refreshing and transforming to dip in the sea. Now I can just do this in my bath tab.

Fairy Jasmine Ballistic.
No surprise, smells of beautiful jasmine flowers mixed with ylang ylang and vetivert. Each one is full of fairy dust to have you all sparkly.
Oh, two more of my favourite scents - jasmine and ylang ylang. I have these scents in oils and I really love the sweet jasmine flower which I would have in my garden if the possums didn't eat everything.

Romance in the stone
At the heart of this small but beautiful bomb is a love poem just for you.
Oh, a poem. I cannot wait to read it. What a marvellous and unique idea.

Bathos Bubble Bar Slice
Take away the stresses and tensions of your day in a violet bath
Oh, something violet....now who would have guessed I would love that? lol

Dream Time Temple Balm
Oh, even the name sounds heavenly. I wished I had some of this Friday morning when I went to work. I had an eyeache and felt quite nauseus. I'm sure just holding this tin would have made me feel better.

So, this is an amazing gift. Thank you so much. But now I have a new problem - which shall I use first?

And how did you know of this Australian company. Hmm, is the Lush owner an ATF member too? Wow, thank you to you for making such beautiful products.

Thank you Nonny for reminding me that love is all around.

I shall report back after I've used some of these products ;)

with love
purple_scorp

[thorhammer]

purple_scorp, what a wonderful package! I love Lush products, and to be gifted with such luxury . . . you lucky girl! You deserve it, no doubt about it. And once again, Miss Mouse slam dunks it! :D A perfect idea for a gift!

\m/ Kat

[HearthCricket]

What a lovely gift! I hear so much about Lush products but have never used or even seen any. Enjoy your treasures. Nonny Mouse has been very kind to many Aters.

[a_shikhs]

That's a wonderful lushy package, purple_scorp. :D I love Lush products and my drawers and bathroom are stocked with them. They just smell so yummy and divine. :love: Enjoy your goodies. :)

[Saturness]

Wow purple_scorp! What a great package :D I love lush products too...i'm sure these great things will brighten your life, make tou feel better and help you to heal! You deserve it :D :D :D

[Demon Goddess]

Wow... here I am, popping in to have a look, yet again and I am absolutely kerfuffled... I have tears of joy streaming down my cheeks for all of those who've been recently moused!

Miss Mouse is a doll and so cute!

And as I read this I'm blown away. How in heaven's name did miss Mouse get a hold of Peppermaster Chocolate??? I've asked all of my employees if anyone has come in that resembles a mouse and they've said "no"... She must be ordering under an anonymous name via internet! I have to wonder if this is what has happened with the Australian Company??? I wonder if they ship to Canada!

You know, for those of us who have so many wonderful things going on in our lives, it's so nice to be able to watch Miss Mouse be so generous with those of you who so need a little bit of what we've got. I said it before, but I'm a little jealous. I sort of wish something horrible would happen in my life so I could get moused! lol... I'm KIDDING, I'M KIDDING!!!!

[Netzach]

That sounds wonderful purple_scorp. Enjoy your parcel!

Demon Goddess, I don't find it so wonderful that Nonny managed to order the Peppermaster sauces for me . . . only that she was able to part with the Chocolate Passion! Although maybe she ordered a pot for herself as well. Who could blame her!

It was my mother's birthday on Thursday and I made her a Sacher Torte (very rich Austrian chocolate cake). It was gorgeous but I found myself wondering if it would taste even better with a touch of chilli in it!!

[Kahlie]

Aaaw, so nice purple_scorp! :) I love Lush products, I came into contact with them in Holland originally.. they are lovely to use and they smell soooo good :) :heart:

Always when I'm in a Lush store I think: "My next house MUST have a bath" ;)


And how did you know of this Australian company. Hmm, is the Lush owner an ATF member too? Wow, thank you to you for making such beautiful products.


Sorry to blow your bubble hon, but Lush is an UK company that spread like happy soft warm foam all over the world after it's conception. As far as I know there is a branch in Holland and in Germany, but I've also heard of stores in Hungary, Australia and further! :)

I love how it's animal cruelty free, all natural and sooooooooo good :)

OK, it's official, I'm a lush fan girl :D

Kahlie

[silverwings94]

OOO Lush products. Wish they sold them here in the states.What a wonderful package that you received.I would kill to be able to soak in a tub with some luscious smelling products.But alas If I get into a tub right now i will never get out.We just got dumped on with a foot of snow and now we have sleet.We have thunder and lightning right now .Weird for this to happen during a snow advisory and winter advisory. But hey this is Rochester,NY anything can happen.

Gosh, I've had lush sitting in my shower for months now :laugh: The nearest store to me is about 45-50 min drive away, which is a good thing, cause it's rather expensive but lovely.

Good to see Miss Mouse has been at it again :thumbsup:

[purple_scorp]

Wow! That's a lot of Lush in the world.

Armed with this knowledge, I can no longer be an ignorant smelly Lush-less self! Now I will be a Lush smelly self! ;)

I just love poking my nose in the box and smelling all of those wonderful scents.

with love

[Grizabella]

In one of the first exchanges I took part in here on AT, my partner sent me a bath fizzy ball from Lush and I left it sitting in the bathroom for months before I used it because I couldn't bear to not have it to sniff several times a day when I went in there. Someday I'll go to their website and order myself something from them. I have a windfall (small, but hey----! :D ) that should reach me pretty soon, so maybe then is when I'll do it.

Good job, Miss Mouse! Nonny knows all the best places in the world to get gifts, doesn't she? What a sweet, generous, hard working little sweetheart she is. :)

[firefrost]

I can spend ages wandering around the Lush shop in Meadowhall - and it's not a big place!

Unfortunately, I have silly skin and can't use the products :( .

Never mind, If I ever see miss mouse there, I'll give her a really big hug! ;)

[Briar Rose]

Thank you Ms Noony Mouse for sending me the souacer to my teacup. I appreciate you doing that for me. Many many hugs.

[Grizabella]

I'm really glad to see you posting here, HeavensVault. We've been worrying about you. :) :heart: I'm glad you got the saucer to your teacup. :) Miss Mouse told me she'd found the saucer you needed for that special teacup that you have.

[huredriel]

I've been moused :bugeyed: :)

As some people already know, I had major hip surgery at the beginning of February and have been off work since. Luckily I have fantastic friends who have been popping in and also taking me out to do shopping each week ........ but since Sunday I've had a few low days with no energy :( ...... the self-pity party was going on strong ...... and then yesterday morning a knock at the door ....... if you can imagine ...... a not bad-looking, tall postman :D ...... and there I was on my crutches rushing down the stairs in my pj's, surgical stockings ........ but even worse ....... I'd been so lazy that my hair was a complete and utter mess (well I had just got up as well but it needed washing too) ......... talk about cringing!!!!!! Anyways, he handed me a parcel which I thought was a book I'd ordered from Amazon .........

instead I was MOUSED!!!!!!!!

Miss Mouse is indeed psychic .......... I've just started delving in Tarot Shadow Work (workbook) to get even deeper than I've done before ......... and she has very kindly helped to bring me light to carry with me!!!!!! She sent:

Magical Unicorns oracle cards by Doreen Virtue
a heart-shaped notebook tied with a beautiful red bow
and a really cute fridge magnet ........ get this, how apt is this:

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS
[picture]
The hoppy hoppy sparrow
plants beautiful thoughts that
grow like flowers in the
blackness of space
Note
Oh that the world were full of hoppy hoppy sparrows

I couldn't believe it! And a lovely card signed by Miss Mouse saying *May all the unicorns bring light into your life*.

How amazing is that!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sorry for going on, but thank you Miss Mouse sooooooooo much, your timing is impeccable, and your thoughts, actions & wishes are truly appreciated and gratefully received :heart:

x Huredriel

[Sebavin]

Glad to hear you've been moused :D((HeavensVault)) & ((huredriel)). I hope you both are feeling better soon.

[Netzach]

Delighted to hear about your parcel, huredriel. Sorry to hear that you've been feeling down. I hope that your recovery will progress steadily and speedily.

[starrystarrynight]

huredriel, I didn't know you had surgery! I'm glad you got moused, and I hope you feel better soon!

Ms. Mouse is wonderful, isn't she?

[HearthCricket]

Congrats to everyone who got "moused"! Sounds like some very thoughtful gifts to cheer people up! :)

[celticnoodle]

huredriel, your mouse pkg. sounds lovely! I, also, don't recall you having surgery, and will also keep you in my thoughts, sending you energy and hugs! now, go play with your new deck and let us know soon how much you are enjoying them! :thumbsup: :)

[tarot4fun]

Huredriel, your gifts sound wonderful! :D

Continue to get well and remember how much we all love you~ :love:

Suz :heart:

[nanab]

What a lovely package you recieved today Huredriel. I wish you a speedy recovery.

[huredriel]

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts & healing ...... recovery is actually going very well and although it was *major* surgery (for those who are squeamish I won't give details LOL) it wasn't because of anything life-threatening ....... but Miss Mouse is indeed generous, as I had already posted in here about a month ago as she also visited me then!!!!! So I count myself very blessed to have your concern as well :heart:

((((AT'ers & Miss Mouse)))))

[firefrost]

Best wishes and congrats to all who've had a nonny visit!

[kwesifriends]

huredriel, you deserve it and have fun with your new items Nonny wants you to be happy!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Brilliant news to all whove ben recently moused xx Especilly when life is stressfull its nice to get that ray of sunshine :)

[nicki]

Good to see that Ms Mouse is keeping as busy as ever, this thread is a real pick me up.

[Netzach]

Like Santa Claus or any other well-organised business person, Miss Mouse has a team of workers helping and supporting her. She has told me that she really couldn't do the work without them and she claims (modestly) that the bulk of the work falls on them and not her. Well, however much Miss Mouse does or doesn't do herself, let's spare a moment to say:

Well done and thank you to Miss Mouse's wonderful team of workers.

[Chronata]

OMG.


I am so completely surprised, so incredibly grateful...so very overwhelmed!

A seriously wonderful and sneaky Mouse just sent me a most incredible package.

I don't know who this Mouse is, but their timing couldn't have been more perfect, as I have been going through some rough weeks, and not believing much in myself, or my work.

This Amazingly Generous soul knows me better than I know myself!

The box was ginormous, and once I got it through the door, I stared at it awhile, apprehensive about opening it. Who is this A Nonny Mouse who sent me a big ol' box? Was I even deserving of such a gift?

It was marked Fragile.

Finally, after much teasing from my spouse, I opened it up, and saw first a wonderfully delightful card.
“Even the most magical of Fairytales has a dragon or two”
Oh my yes. There have been a few this winter, and I have grown tired of trying to slay them all at once.

Underneath the bubbly wrap, was a whole bunch of beautifully wrapped gifts, in jewel toned metallic papers of blue and purple...and something quite pink and soft...

but first, a lovely sheet of inspirational quotes. Each one seemed very significant to me...and although I had heard many before, it was like I was reading them for the first time.
They were printed in lots of different fonts on lovely parchment.

Then...the soft pink thing, turned out to be a stuffed skeletal kitty! Oh my! He is just delightful! The tag says that dead kitties need love too! So true! This is so me, I think...someone knows exactly my humor!

While dead boo kitty looks on, I start to unwrap other things. A long purple roll, is an extraordinary set of paint brushes, in their own canvas roll! Oh my. This Mouse has been spying on me surely...for how else could they possibly know that I needed new brushes? Especially in this size? Perfect for scenery and mural painting!

Next, a small box turns out to be Victoria's Secret lip glosses in sparkling tints. What a wonderful little treat! Underneath, I fish out a little dead kitty tin of mints...all sugar free, and shaped like little bones! Hee!

Next, a box from Things Remembered. I love that store...it's the one where you can buy things that are custom engraved. Inside the box is a breathtaking business card holder...a shining silver star, on a crystal base.
It's gorgeous! My Star, I think....the one for wishing and hoping on!
I haven't seen my Star in months...but this is making me tear up a little...

But there's still more to open!

Another small deck sized box...has me holding my breath...what could it be? an oracle or tarot?

It is the Masquerade tarot...in a wonderfully beat up vintage looking box! hee hee...the cards are in pristine never used condition.
Ok ...now I KNOW that someone has been spying on me! I secretly wanted this deck for a long time...looking at it again, I see that it has the simplicity of say, the IIT...but with revelers in black masks. I already love this deck. It had such terrible reviews, but I always thought it might be a wonderful find! I know this is going to be something great to play with!

and oh...someone REALLY loves me...and has put such thought and care into all these treasures for ME...
I am beginning to sniffle.

Another large box contains lots of tiny samples of Victoria's Secret perfumes!. I have just in the last year become a perfume wearer...so this is an absolute delight!

I take some time to open each one and sniff! The Very Sexy one smells like ambergris musk, and I ADORE the one called Pink! Such fun! I am definitely going to use these!!!

finally, the last box...I open the wrapping, with a big goofy smile, and see it's something else from Things Remembered.

I open it...and I burst into tears.

My spouse is sittting nearby asking me “what is it? What's wrong?” and I can't speak at all...I pass it over to him to look at.
I am actually getting choked up again, just writing about it...

it is a plaque...that matches the business card holder...made of crystal with the shining silver star. And it has my name engraved on it, with the name Chronata above, and Professional Dreamer below.

It is the most thoughtful and amazingly perfect gift that anyone (besides my immediate family ) has ever given me...and I am completely overwhelmed by it!
It is so wonderful. I can use this at art shows, or when I do readings at events.

THANK YOU Miss Mouse...for the most extraordinary remarkable surprise...I don't know what else to say, other than I am so grateful for the time and effort and love that was put into this gift.

You obviously know me so well...and I have been racking my brain trying to discover your secret identity...but I still don't have a clue!
I just know that someone with a lovely caring and giving nature has inspired me, and I will pay it forward in a way that I hope matches the extraordinary feeling I have in receiving this annonymous and truly spectacular present.


Thank You.*Namaste *

[Anam Cara]

Huredriel and Chronata:heart:

Ms. Nonny is indeed a thoughtful
and generous mouse!

[morticia monroe]

Good to see Nonny making the rounds again. Chronata, you're such a lovely soul, I'm so glad to see that someone made your day that way. I don't know HOW you could EVER have trouble with faith in your work,,everything you've done is just beautiful. If you ever feel that way again, drop me a line and I'll draw something for you,,, not only will it renew your faith in your own work, it will give you something to laugh about for days...



Kwesi, I'm so happy for you, you always have something nice to say to everyone. And you DO deserve a reward for studying hard,,,keep up the good work, I'm sure your parents are proud.

What a wonderful inspiring gift, and what an amazing thread this is!
On another forum this sort of thing is called a RAK or Random Act Of Kindness...and I am forever sending them out to folks...

I would really loveto join Miss Mousey and help her out over here as well!

No, if she's showing I'll look as well ;)

[nanab]

No, I want to know too. Come on Ming tell us about your Nonny package.

[Netzach]

That's great, Ming! But what did you get . . . do tell!

[mingbop]

seemingly this isnt the package, this is the notification that I'm GETTING a package! This was lovely in itself -but I have to watch for the postman :)

[starrystarrynight]

Aw, nothing like dreaded anticipation to sit you on your hands!

[cheekyminx]

Maybe Ming's being cheeky & not telling :P

[Katarche]

Hello folks...I'm very new (have been waiting for my activation for a couple of days - just heard a "ping!" and looked - this is it!!! Yay ).

So this is my first post - I'll hop over to introductions in a minute - but I just have to say that I have spent the last couple of hours reading this entire thread...with tears in my eyes and a singing heart. I've been blubbering the whole way :)

What a wonderful, thoughtful, sharing and caring community this is.
Nonny is the loveliest mouse I've ever met.

Thank you for spreading so much joyousness one and all - this is truly so very heart-warming.

Blessings

[Netzach]

Maybe Ming's being cheeky & not telling :P

Ming, cheeky? Never!!!!

Welcome to AT Kartarche! And, yes, you're right . . . this is an extraordinarily caring community - and I think those who are a part of it are all stronger as a result. I'm so glad that you've found this thread because it really epitomises the spirit of AT. I hope you'll enjoy many happy hours on the forum.

[mingbop]

Everybody knows I am NEVER cheeky !
It came today and I'm toatally totally lifted, transported onto a wee pink cloud. A wee pink bat today :)
there are LOADS of good books, fabulous essential oils that I will use in my aromastone, a box of crystal & stones that I have put on my desk, ANDDDDD one thing that was pure MAGIC... :)
A set of wildflower playing cards. I shuffled and asked for J for his health, and got THE most fabulous reading.
I used to read playing cards when I was a child, and it just came right back to me ! I got a perfect reading for me ( first card was 6 diamonds- generosity & gifts given) :) and one for him, and THEN (dramaqueen LOL) I got all tears and goosebumps and Jimmy's mum came through for a second &I cut Ace of Hearts.
pure magic thank you you lovely LOVELY mouse !
I have always liked mice..

[Eugenia Madora]

It's wonderful that you got a package from Nonny Mouse and it gave you a lift.
I remember reading with playing cards when I was a teenager. That was what my auntie used.
Lots of love and blessings surround you ~

[Skydancer]

Oh my ............ I've been moused!!

I had phoned up to our PO in Mich and asked if she (Barb, the Postmaster - ahhh Mistress) could mail down any first class pkgs. and such and she said sure - there was a first class postage pkg there from Quebec. Quebec? thinks I. I'm wondering who in the world I traded with in Canada lately. Did she send me my pkg and did I ever send whatever to her/them?? I was confused. Haven't been on eBay or Amazon in ... months. So .... the husband comes up to me as we are getting in the car yesterday (Mar 18) and says "Here. Read this on the way up." We were going up the road to his uncle's to work on his boat. ANYWAY - here's the mysterius Quebec Parcel. I had DH give me his pocket knife and I began to very carefully peel away the pound and a half of packing tape. ;)

WOW!!! How totally wonderful!! Lovely scarves - a couple with "special meaning" (one in particular - YOU know the one I mean) AND a CD - piano solo. Wow. I try frantically to figure out who on this board goes by "Nonny Mouse" -- I mean, there are SO many interesting names here!! :laugh:

Well -- an interesting co-incidence is that about 6 days ago I had the urge to get I guess you call it a PCDLD - personal CD listening device!! With earphones! I have a big ol' player back up north but nothing down here. It was as yet unopened because I was trying to figure out why I had it. So last night, we walk (run) the dogs - we ride my in-law's big 3-wheelers and the dogs, well, run. Husbandperson goes to bed 'cause he's going (went) on an archeological dig today and I'm here doing cool things -- anyway - I find the new double-A batteries we'd only just recently purchased ( :bugeyed: )and put some in my new CD player. And sat back in the one recliner in the "cabin" and watched one of my candles. And darn if it didn't dance in time to the music. Strangest thing. And I was blown away. ... .... .... oh my. How beautiful the music. (I used to play some.) I listened to most - then realized it was time to stop for the time being - I look at the CD and find that I was right - it IS composed on the spot for the most part. I had thought so. This sort of thing isn't writ down on paper, if you know what I mean. OH how wonderful. And I had the particularly special scarf around my neck as well - and I happened to have still had on the necklace I had worn that day, beFORE Dale had collected the parcel from the rec cntr PO; it's the one that is my new avatar. Now - how many co-incidences does one need to have in a row like this to totally blow you away. Now I ask you -

I came on line just now for the first time in days just for the express purpose of finding out who you were - checked all through my PM people, did searches all over until I found references to this thread ...... and then found this thread!!! I hadn't even heard of it before now!!! I had had NO idea that this was going on. Can you believe it?!!!! :laugh:

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Miss A. Noney Mouse. {{{{H}}}} [edited in all fairness to gender equality; I conceed that there could and probably are Mr. A. Nonny Mouses too.]

THANK YOU again. What a most fantastically wonderful idea you all have come up with. And receiving the gift just now actually was perfect timing. :) :) :)
"Pass it forward."

Annie

[kwesifriends]

Ms. Mouse has really been busy shopping and making special deliveries to very special people. I Hope she takes some time to celebrate Ostara and Eaaster.

[Chronata]

Wow Skydancer! That's wonderful!

Bec...I hope your Miss Mousey package makes you smile as well!

[Teacups]

I was reading the news online, and as I read this article, I immediately thought of all the lovely people who are kindred spirits of a certain mouse....

see, blessings work both ways--for the giver and for the receiver. Leave it to science to "explain" what a mere little mousie already knows! sweet mousie

[Katarche]

Skydancer - It sounded like a wonderful package that has already given you much pleasure :) Congratulations!

So true! (And an interesting article.)

[mingbop]

Whoever gave me tyhe wild flower playing cardsm THANK YOU SO MUCH XXX ! I am having such good readings with them ! :):)

[Briar Rose]

Ms. Nonny Mouse has ben very busy! :heart:

Ms. Mouse sent me 3 packages!

One package has 3 huge bags of herbal tea:
green tea
cherry rose
apple green tea
and a lovely tea strainer.

Thank you :heart:

my 2nd package is a good on emotional abuse (women)

my 3rd package is also another book on emotional abuse.


I am grateful. I don't know who yu are for sending the books, and I didn't get offended. I am grateful and appreicate them very much. I had only one book on emotional abuse, and I had sent it to my cousin went she went trhough a divorce. I needed to have the book back, but didn't want to ask. I am glad the Ms. Nonny knows what we need.

I love all of you :heart: thank you. I am slowly coming around. It's been really hard. Cards and packages have help me feel somewhat whole, or rather like people are here for me. Easter is this weekend and I have no where to go. I am glad AT is here and strong. Blessings.

[Sebavin]

(((HeavensVault))) Glad to see you've been moused! And yes, she does indeed know what we need.

As far as AT goes-- a lot of us don't have many friends or family that we can rely on. It is very nice indeed to find that welcome here, and I am happy to share Ostara/Easter with all of you (((AT:heart:)))

[Grizabella]

The fact that a lot of us don't have a really good support section out here in the real world is why I made a post once somewhere else on AT that we should get personal information from people we feel close to here on AT so that if we lose computer contact, we can at least share letters or phone calls with those people. It's really hard when you lose computer use or AT is offline and suddenly there's just a huge "silence" and a great big void where our friends used to be.

HV I'm so glad you're here and that you're healing! It's wonderful to see you posting again and to know you're okay. :heart:

[kwesifriends]

Wow thats great HeavensVault have fun reading and drinking your teas and books. Nonny is always watching us! :heart:

~XOXO~

[Teacups]

I know that every day I log in, I check to see if Heavensvault has been on lately. Just checkin.... keepin an eye out.... saying a little prayer

[Katarche]

HV...So pleased Ms Nonny delivered some calming teas and some information (books) you were wanting/needing. Easter will provide a nice few days then to look them over :)

~K~

[firefrost]

Lovely, HV!

I do like reading about Miss Mouse's travels :)

[Kahlie]

I am slowly coming around. It's been really hard. Cards and packages have help me feel somewhat whole, or rather like people are here for me. Easter is this weekend and I have no where to go. I am glad AT is here and strong. Blessings.

Lovely to hear that you are coming around! :heart: Take your time! Glad to know you've been moused!

I didn't know you'd been having problems, HV, but I'm so glad to hear that things are gradually getting better. Enjoy your herbal teas! Delighted that Nonny sent you such a nice parcel.

It's really hard when you lose computer use or AT is offline and suddenly there's just a huge "silence" and a great big void where our friends used to be.

I agree entirely. I have the addresses and 'phone numbers of my "special AT friends" and also their email addresses which makes communication easier than having to use PMs (and which is useful on the odd occasion when AT's offline).

And, of course, nothing can beat meeting up with people when you happen to be in their neck of the woods.

I've been sitting here wondering who on earth Grizabella is and why (when she has made over 6000 posts) I've never come across her before. And I've only just now realised that Grizabella is our lovely Solitaire*. Why did you change your name, dear friend?

[Grizabella]

I changed my name because I suddenly remembered Grizabella, the old glamour cat from Cats. I always identified with her character----I'm an old glamour alley cat myself. ;) I looked at the member list and nobody had the name, which made me very happy, so I took it. :D

And why not, indeed!! But to all of us, you'll still be a diamond!

Awwww, thanks a lot. :D :heart:

[faerylvr]

Thank you so much for the beautiful package. I had no idea this was even here and the package was a wonderful surprise. A great Faery Encyclopedia, a raspberry chocolate bar, a beautiful journal and a great faery page maker.

I was so excited that I left it on the counter and showed my husband and anyone else who walked in. I have put the poem up on my wall in my faery room.

Thank you thank you Ms. A Nonny Mouse. You truly made my day.

[Grizabella]

I'm so glad to hear you got a package! It sounds wonderful! :)

[tarot4fun]

Very nice gifts Faerylvr~ :D

Grizabella~ I adore your new name! :love:

[Grizabella]

LOL I just happened to think how ironic it is that Grizabella, the cat, is presiding over the Nonny Mouse thread. :P

But anyway, I messed up and deleted a PM I shouldn't have before I got all my notes put into my Nonny file. That means there's someone here who is waiting for an address----can't say more than that. But if you're a Nonny helper waiting for an address, please PM me. :D

[Katarche]

LOL I just happened to think how ironic it is that Grizabella, the cat, is presiding over the Nonny Mouse thread.
:grin: So do I!! :grin:

[Grizabella]

Well, I just WUV Nonny Mouse and her helpers! I wouldn't ever, ever bite even the tiniest smidgen of their tiny bitsy tails I wouldn't, I wouldn't! :D :heart:

Have you read the wonderful Church Mouse books by Graham Oakley? They're all about the church cat who looks after the church mice . . . they work together and coexist very happily. In fact, quite often, the cat finds himself being "persuaded" (he'd probably say bullied) to do something by the mice. The books are very funny and wonderfully illustrated.

Absolutely. The PERFECT books to read to kids; they love the text and grownups see all kinds of things in the pictures that kids won't get till they are older.... })

And you have to have the pictures. My favourite page, the only text is:
"I don't know if it would work without spangled tights, but we could try...." So they did and it worked.

I guess only Netzach will be giggling here :D

[Netzach]

I guess only Netzach will be giggling here :D

Oh yes, I'm giggling!

[Netzach]

Just found one illustration online. Sampson, the cat, protecting the mice from the alley cats.

[Grizabella]

Oh my gosh! I'm going to have to find those books! :D The girls are teenagers now but they still enjoy looking through books for little kids. And my great-grandson has his first birthday coming soon. He'd be a great excuse to buy them, wouldn't he? Then the girls and I could enjoy the books before I wrap them. :D

[Eowyn]

---a little out of topic here but its worthy----

If you guys are really into some beautiful books with images and all that... try to read this one:

http://www.neilgaiman.com/works/Comics/Creatures+Of+The+Night/

"Creatures of the night", by Neil Gaiman.

I read it in the library once, its wonderfull. It has a story about cats... will blow your mind, really...

Its between a comic book and a story book. I would call it a story book for us.

Specially for those ATers that love cats and good stories about night creatures...

[Netzach]

Oh my gosh! I'm going to have to find those books!

They're all out of print now, I think. They can occasionally be found second hand but they tend to be quite expensive.

[gregory]

The paperbacks are not TOO bad on amazon..... Hard to believe they haven't stayed in print though.

(OMG there is one I DON'T HAVE......:bugeyed:)

Oooh, I love Neil Gaiman (and reading) so I will keep this in mind.
I'm procrastinating, I just wrote a huge list of things I'm scared/worried about and now I feel too worried about it to do something... ack! :(

I will go and log off here and look at my list again and see what I can do...

I've been moused!!
Thank you Ms. Nonny!!

What a surprise!!!
We had been out ALL day on the motorcycle Saturday
(felt wonderful to be "back-in-the-saddle" again ~ it
had been SO long!!). We got back late Saturday and came
in through the garage...

Yesterday morning, dear hubby was out front, sprucing up
the yard ;), while I was on the phone with family...
I look up to see him coming in with a package in his hands
and a puzzled look on his face!! I'd been moused!! And the
package had apparently been waiting on the porch for me
for nearly a day!!

So FILLED with treasures! And one of the most absolutely
AMAZING things about it is...I was JUST considering purchasing
the Tarot Deck that was in the package (I'd been looking at
it Saturday and was thinking about it). Lo and behold, it was
one of the first gifts out-of-the-box, the LoS "Tarot of the
Spirit World". Ms. Mouse, one of us (both of us?) must be
psychic!! :D

Everything was wrapped in delicate white tissue paper
sprinkled with colorful glitter...I love glitter!! I love how
I find bits of it here and there around the house...reminding
me that magick is afoot!!

Also in the package was a set of handmade oracle cards...
love these! Two of them that are ocean related are currently
residing on my altar in my "beach-room"! Love looking at all
of them, and seeing these two so often during the day reminds
me how lucky I am! Thank you!!

A delightful package of scented products - lotion, shower gel, and
cologne - in "English Rose"...mmmmmmm!! I've used some of each
already and they're wonderful!!

And MORE!! A lovely seashell (also now on my altar!), a box of
candy (already opened!! yum!) Kent Keith's "Anyway" on tape
(looking forward to listening to this!!) A wonderful tin filled with
an array of tea bags (a mouse after my own heart...TEA!!!) an
apple-cinnamon scented candle (lit it first thing and placed it in
the kitchen...it smells wonderful even when it's NOT burning!)
the 7 Habits of Effective Families - conversation cards (these look
so interesting...it's thought-provoking just thumbing through
them!) a darling "activity book" including an array of fuzzy fairy (!)
stickers, and last (but not least!) "The Symbolism of Tarot" by P.D.
Ouspensky...cool! I didn't realize this was in print (or had been
recently, anyway!) Looking forward to reading this and am
grateful to add it to my "tarot library"!

I appreciated ALL the wonderful gifts so very much Ms. Mouse!!
Thank you very much for making my day...my week...my month!!
the ANMPC program is the best...what a generous, thoughtful
community AT has! Thank you! :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart:
:love:cara

[Netzach]

Wow, what a lovely parcel, anam_chara. Enjoy!

I couldnt decide what sounded better but it sounds like a wonderful and generous surprise and I think the "magick afoot" it the icing on the cake. Congrats on your delivery!

[Katarche]

Congratulations anam_chara ~ what a wonderful surprise ~ enjoy!

[Debra]

Someone just sent me a Tarot of Prague out of the Clear Blue Sky. I am flummoxed and delighted. Many thanks, many thanks!

[rcb30872]

I received my package today, and to put it in my son's words "mmm, smells good" (I didn't teach him that, I am pretty sure he got that from school, they do cooking ;))

Lots of lovely bath stuff, and soap, to make everyone insanely jealous })
- sage, cedar, L'nag champa mini soaps
- thistle guest soaps
- Heather Bath Soak - with real heather buds
- foaming bath melts
- wisteria bath egg
- and some other soaps

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the lovely gift! I'm going to smell LUSH!

Ooohh, Debra, nice! I've looked at that one a time or two!

[silverwings94]

Congrats everyone on your packages from Ms. Mouse. She has been really busy.We just got 2 inches of snow last night. Maybe with the snow we can follow Ms. Mouse"s footprints and see where she is going next.

I think I will get back in bed for awhile and try to shake this flu.
:heart:
S

[Katarche]

Aaah...I think our canny Ms Mouse is too clever for that :) It sounds as though hopping back into bed is the best place to be ~ do take care.

[Willow Huntermoon]

Wow, I finally got through reading all these posts.
Nonny Mouse you are the most wonderful golden hearted, dearest mouse in the whole world!
You have brightened up so many peoples day's and touched lives.

Wishing you the brightest blessings.

[AJ]

a gift for A. Nonny

[Grizabella]

Well, thank you so much, AJ! I've saved them all and now I'll go try on that first one. :D I'll try them all on over time. :heart:

[Grizabella]

So how do you like it? Looks pretty, doesn't it? Thank you so much, AJ! :D

[AJ]

Yes it does. Shake the dust outta yer shoes and git dancin'.... the world is your stage

[Grizabella]

Will do! :D I'll put some glitter in my fur, find myself some sequins and beads to wear, and there's no stopping me!

[Anam Cara]

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been moused. Again!!!
Thank you Nonny!!!!

Once again, upon returning home after being away,
we tripped over the mail pile coming in...
My hubby leans down, scoops up a package,
and hands it to me - again puzzled by the
return label - Ms. A. Nonny Mouse!!! :D

I'm grinning like an idiot, skipping to the
kitchen table to open it NOW!!! ;)
(the rest of the mail can WAIT!!!)

Oh, Miss Nonny...you out DID yourself!!!
I don't know what I've done to deserve
getting moused twice in such a short time...
but whatever it is, I promise to keep it up!! :D

I cut open one end of the padded envelope and
slid everything out onto the table...and what is
the first think I see?!?!? THE BLUE MOON TAROT!!!
You could have knocked me over with a feather!!
I was SO amazed that Ms. Mouse sent me the
deck I've been coveting for some time now...I
haven't had it far from reach since I opened the
package....THANK YOU!!! I :love: it!!!

Also in the wonderful package was the cutest little
fairy kite...she's so sweet!! Now you have me HOPING
for wind! (one day of March left...let's hope it has a little
lion left in it!!)

Next was a Kate Greenaway book on the meaning of
flowers...perfect! I'm planning my tea/herb/scent garden(s)
and this will help me choose what to plant!!

Last, but definitely NOT least, the smallest package
contained an art nouveau style pin of a beautiful
woman holding what looks to be a faceted amethyst!
Wow!! (I put it on right away...am still wearing it!! :D)

The package included the sweetest little note card and
everything was wrapped so charmingly in fancy tissue
papers and organdy bags...I am THRILLINGLY overwhelmed!!

Ms. Mouse, whoever you are, thank you, Thank You,
THANK YOU!! with all my heart!!!
:heart::heart::heart:cara

[Katarche]

Congratulations Cara! That sounds like another wonderful package and Ms Mouse always knows what she's doing I hear ;) Enjoy all your surprises :grin:

[firefrost]

You lucky thing, cara - enjoy!

[Netzach]

How lovely, cara . . . enjoy! Miss Mouse does seem to have the knack of choosing perfect gifts.

[rcb30872]

Wow, Cara, you are very lucky indeed! The packages seem to be coming thick and fast for you. Congratulations!

:love:

Bec

[Guiding Cauldron]

Oh so sweet to read up on Nonnys adventures :) Congrats to those who've been blessed lately xx

[Aulruna]

Enjoy the A. Nonny love & spirit, Cara!! :D

And Grizabella... only after seeing the avatars I finally caught on that this is a character from Cats! Duh, I can be so dense sometimes.

[kwesifriends]

Congratulation anam_chara I lost for 3 days and many use had been mouse. :love:

[Skydancer]

Grizabella === in the DVD, if her solo doesn't make you cry there is something seriously wrong with you that needs immediate attention.

After our son saw a traveling tour of this muscial in Houston a while back I bought the DVD - but after he saw 'it' he said that the one they saw was even better. The ahhh "tomcat" was really a tomcat (totally got into the role and the more the audience laughed the more outrageous he became!!) and the guy that does all the high leaps? Eric said he has never in his life seen anyone get that far off the floor and still land on his feet. .... paws. He was totally blown away.

All my way of saying, nice choice for an "Avatar" (handle). :)

{{H}}
Annie

[Grizabella]

Thank you all for your good responses to my new name, both here and in PM's. I just love Grizabella. I'm going to get the DVD so I can save it and watch it over and over. This will be my last name change. :)

[silverwings94]

Congrats Cara on that beautiful package.

[6 Haunted Days]

Thank you all for your good responses to my new name, both here and in PM's. I just love Grizabella. I'm going to get the DVD so I can save it and watch it over and over. This will be my last name change. :)

Oh I love that name! It has fond memories for me :) My dear friend Tom had a fat old cat by that name, Tom loved the musical Cats!

That cat was scary mean though lol.

[Grizabella]

That cat was scary mean though lol.

I am, too! ;)

[firefrost]

I am, too! ;)

Nah, you're not - ya can't fool us...!! :D

[Briar Rose]

Ms Nonny Mouse, thank you for sending me the book:
A General Theory of Love.

It's wonderful. I don't know who you are, but I appreciate your kindness.

Love&Light,

Aurora

[shamoness]

I was thrilled to find a package from Ms. Nonny Mouse in my mail on Saturday. I carefully opened my treasure and found TWO beautiful decks I have been coveting for some time, The Universal Goddess Tarot and Liber T. I cried as I carried them to my bedroom and put them on my weaving bench.

I so wanted to open them right away! But my Mom has finally gotten out of the hospital and is home so I had to go to her house to bathe her.( I must tell you that as I write this message my eyes are welling up just thinking of the wonderful people here on AT.) Late that night I opened them and just fell in love. The Liber T just speaks to me. A sassy little deck I must say. I am so thrilled! I wish my hubby could be here to enjoy them with me but his job has taken him across the state again and I expect he won't be back until this weekend.

I've always been the one to share with others who needed a pick me up. I can't express well enough to Ms. Nonny how much her parcel means to me. (tears again, I seem to be crying a lot these days) I'm sending a big cyber hug and many blessings to Nonny!

In Love and Light,
shamoness

[Katarche]

Congratulations HeavensVault and Shamoness...
So pleased you've both been moused at just the right time :) Enjoy!

[Demon Goddess]

Ms. Mouse does get around doesn't she!

How heartwarming it is to pop in here and read about everyone getting moused!

Nonny, if you happen to have one in your little mousie bag of yours... I could use a mortgage.

No? I guess not. Heck it was worth a try. :D

[afrosaxon]

Nonny must have so many extra pages in her passport...or else she's had to upgrade to a brand new one! :laugh:

[Guiding Cauldron]

bright blessings xx

I think Nonny's so speacial she doesnt need a passport :)

[silverwings94]

Just stopping in for a few before I go back to bed to try and beat this flu and cold. It seems it just wants to linger.
Ms. Mouse is so sweet and so special. I think there should be a day dedicated to her for all the good that she soes.
Ok now I am going back to bed.
Huggs,
:heart:
S

[Netzach]

Shamoness, I'm so glad your mother's home from the hospital. I hope she continues to improve. And I'm delighted to hear that you and HV have been moused.

[afrosaxon]

Well, the postman rang the doorbell this morning -- Ms. Mouse had traveled all the way from Montreal, Canada, and braved the heavy thunderstorms and lightning, to pay a visit to the Peachtree State, Atlanta, Georgia.

There was a note from Miss Mouse, telling me to "Discover, Relax, and Recharge." My package included:

--an Osho Zen tarot deck (woohoo!) [DISCOVER]
--a purple velvet tarot bag
--Simple Fortunetelling with Tarot Cards by Corinne Kenner
--Green tea (yum!) [RECHARGE]
--a Lush bath bomb (I think it's Lime, but I'm not sure) [RELAX]
--a little vial of "Flight of Fancy" perfume by Anna Sui
--three stones: a leopardskiin jasper and two others (one may be jet) that I can't identify (I'll post them in the Crystals and Herbs section for I.D. help). Leopardskin jasper is good for spiritual discovery and self-healing.
--a silver screw (maybe to remind me to keep my head on straight...or maybe it's a hint at how I can additionally relax and recharge }) ).


The box also had these cool, tiny, 3-D paper stars and pentagrams -- printed with Anime-style mice [HA! :D] and other characters -- as decorations...which makes me think that Ms. Mouse must have some Asian ancestry or affinity. :D

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Miss Mouse! I feel so special, and it was just the thing to brighten this rainy day.

(((Miss Mouse)))

T.

[tarot4fun]

Congrats AfroSaxon!
Sounds lovely~
:heart:

[Grizabella]

How wonderful! I have that book by Corrinne Kenner and it's one of my "keeper" books, which few ever are.

Same with the Osho Zen deck. It's a keeper, too.

Sounds like you got just the thing to keep you busy and relaxed during all that wet, stormy weather you're having down there. :D

[starrystarrynight]

Way cool, T.!

[HearthCricket]

Congrats, afrosaxon! I love the idea of having such a nice theme package! Enjoy your new gifts!

[silverwings94]

Sneaking out from under the covers to say Congrats AfroSaxon on your beautiful and magical package.I hope that the weather improves for you.

Well, if you have what I've been having, you surely don't want to get up too soon and get really sick again like I did. It's really easy to relapse with this.

[firefrost]

Nonny strikes again!!!

Well done, afrosaxon, really happy for you!!! :)

[Aulruna]

Enjoy your goodies, afrosaxon - sounds like A. Nonny picked just the right theme for you :D

[firefrost]

Well done everyone! :)

[cheekyminx]

Is Nonny still going around the world? How long she been traveling for now? Poor wee little mouse, hopefully Mr Nonny has been helping her outl ;)

[Grizabella]

Well, Nonny is still a single wee mouse. We tried to matchmake with Mi-Shell's Mouse named Nasty but that didn't work and it's probably just as well since her name would then have been Mrs. A. Nonny Nasty. :P

[AllyBrooke]

Hello everyone,

I have been Moused, and I feel very privileged!!!

Yesterday morning… I was on my running machine working hard to turn my “Chivers Jelly” bottom into a tight peach ready for summer, when my eldest son answered the door to the postman. (My son is off school this week because he has had a tummy bug), he was as excited as me and helped me open my surprise gift.

We were both amazed as I kept pulling more and more things out of the box. First a bag of bath salts, then a box of chamomile tea, a beautiful ladybird note book, a bag of crystals, some incense cones, a smudge stick, a blended oil, some herbal tea bags, a lip gloss, a one cent and lastly a small furry mouse!!!

What a wonderful surprise. Although in a recent reading I did for myself using the Russian Gipsy deck I did get the gift…

I had a little giggle to myself, because a couple of months ago I had a reading by Celticnoodle, and was told that I might meet my next love interest on the 13th of April, which is this Sunday. I am taking my youngest son to a swimming birthday party that day, so the night before I am going to have a bath in my gifted bath salts, have a soothing drink of chamomile tea, light an incense cone and meditate with my new crystals. Then before I go to the party I shall put on some of my new lip gloss, slip my furry miss mouse into my handbag (for good luck) and go to the party and see if Mr Right is there!!! If I meet Mr Right I can write his telephone number down in my new ladybird notebook and live happily ever after!!!

My life will be transformed, and I will have the man of my dreams all thanks to Miss A N Mouse.

So watch this space, but believe me these brilliant gifts will be put to very good use. Although I am sure my eldest son has his eye on my mouse, because his nick name is Mousey…

Once again, thank you so very much.

Love
Allybrooke

[afrosaxon]

Congrats, AllyBrooke! :D

Definitely keep us posted on the party. ;)

T.

[Grizabella]

How neat that you got a little mouse in your package! That's a very cute idea by Ms. Mouse! And I surely hope all your gifts will lead you to a Mr. Right, as you say! :D

[celticnoodle]

I had a little giggle to myself, because a couple of months ago I had a reading by Celticnoodle, and was told that I might meet my next love interest on the 13th of April, which is this Sunday. ooh-I forgot about that reading until you mentioned it! I hope it does work out well for you--good luck!

C'MON MISS NONNY MOUSE!!!

So watch this space, but believe me these brilliant gifts will be put to very good use. Although I am sure my eldest son has his eye on my mouse, because his nick name is Mousey…

Once again, thank you so very much.

[Scion]

I think Miss Mouse may have been busy on my behalf. I received a package with 3 (extremely intricate, gorgeous) handmade bags from Michigan... The only thing is, they came with no note or Mouse-nouncement, which makes me think it may have been just a random act of generosity.

So, in the hope that it was the inestimable Ms. Mouse... I want to say thank you. And in case it ISN'T Ms. Mouse, I'm hoping my benefactor pops in here now and again...

I HAVE BEEN MOUSED!!!!!!!!

Usually when the maillady brings a package it's for my son who's an ebay junkie. So when I went out to get the package that was left was I surprised. A Nonny Mouse package for me!!!

Inside I found as I ripped open the package that smelled absolutely wonderful: A sweet card from Nonny, 3 soaps from soapbobs (I"M still ordering), Archangel Oracle cards, Archangels & Acended Masters Book and a journal.


What a beautiful surprise that Ms. Mouse actually thought about me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[Grizabella]

That Mouse is just full of nice surprises, isn't she? :D

[firefrost]

((((nanab)))) I'm so pleased for you. :heart:

How lovely, nanab! Enjoy!

this is probably a rather silly question but as far as I understand if a person wants to volunteer they send a message to the host and then they send a package to an unsuspecting person... but how do they get that persons address without them knowing?

im just curious.

this sounds like a really kewl idea. im participating in junk in your trunk atm but i think il sign up for this some time :)

[Sabz]

sorry silly me. the answer to my question was on the first page. the host will contact recipiants and ask them for their mailing info.

please ignore my silly question.

That would be wonderful if you sign up! At present I'm short of volunteers, so all "Mousers" will be heartily welcomed. :D :heart: Whenever you're ready, just let me know. :)

[Grizabella]

Nonny could use some help, folks. I'm in need of volunteers to keep things going, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to volunteer. There's not any requirement what you need to send, and certainly no need to spend a lot of money. The idea is just to send a surprise that says "we care about you". :)

[Grizabella]

I've added some notes to my first post in this thread. I've made the changes in bold letters so they're easy to find. :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

Looks like Nonny has had some well deserved rest, but I hope to see her travels again soon? :) xx

[Grizabella]

I'm beginning to think Nonny is snoozing somewhere. She's spoken with me of three or four recipients, but now has been quiet for a little while. I hope I hear from her again soon so these deserving recipients will get their packages soon. :)

[kwesifriends]

Yay I'm lost for weeks and back again in the forum and many already have been mouse congrats everyone and whose the lucky one!

[Grizabella]

Heyyyy, the wee mousie woman is now awake! She yawned, scratched her nose, and arose from sleep over the weekend, so she'll be on the move and busy again very, very soon. Keep your eyes on this thread to see where she lands next. :D

[Lewen]

Finally caught up on this thread which is one of favorites!
I've enjoyed reading the latest recipiants of Nonny's gifts. Congrats!!!
It will be interesting to see where she goes from here. :)

[sweet_intuition]

Just wanted to say thank you to Miss Nonny Mouse... You are incredibly sweet... you'll get tonnes o hugs n kisses from lil ol me.

Love and Blessings
Be "Blonde"

:) :heart:

[Grizabella]

Keep your eye on the mailbox, Sweet! You should be getting the package soon! I saw a busy Mouse getting ready to drag it down to the post office just a day or two ago! :D

[Netzach]

I hope Miss Mouse enjoyed her holiday. She certainly deserved it!!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Aww Fabulous knowing Nonny is on her way again, :)

[firefrost]

Great news!

[Lexie]

That's wonderful Sweet_intuition! Let us know about your package when it arrives, OK?

~Lexie~

[sweet_intuition]

Don't worry Grizabella, will glue myself to my mailbox, awaiting Miss Nonny Mouse's surprise. I'm so excited.. i could "melt"!

Will definitely let post when I get the package Lexie. I just wish I knew how I could return a prezzie to my Nonny Mouse sender, so I could personally thank him/her.

[firefrost]

I just wish I knew how I could return a prezzie to my Nonny Mouse sender, so I could personally thank him/her.

I think you'll find the above is all the thanks nonny wants.

And no, it's not me! The rest of us have fun in seeing what was in the parcels. ;)

[rcb30872]

Oh wow, can't wait to see what you get Sweet_intuition. Please be sure to tell us what you get :D

Aw... well whoever Miss Nonny is, (in my case at least), you're getting a whole tonne of kisses and hugs from lil ol moi!

Oh wow, can't wait to see what you get Sweet_intuition. Please be sure to tell us what you get:D

I'm totally excited to see what I get. My mind is racing with possibilities of what it could be, as well as, who it could be. OMG, this is so exciting!

Love and Blessings
Be "Blonde"

:) :heart:

[Grizabella]

I just wish I knew how I could return a prezzie to my Nonny Mouse sender, so I could personally thank him/her.

The whole spirit of this is that people get a loving surprise from a fellow AT member but they have no idea who it was and they don't have to reciprocate the offer. Being able to receive a gift without giving in return is a humbling but wonderful experience.

[celticnoodle]

I just wish I knew how I could return a prezzie to my Nonny Mouse sender, so I could personally thank him/her.

I think just showing your appreciation by sharing here in a post all the wonderful goodies you do get is thanks enough. And, possibly becoming a helper to A Nonny Mouse too! Miss Nonny is always on the lookout for helpers, as I'm sure Grizabella can attest to!

[silverwings94]

Yay!!! Nonnie is awake and doing what she does best. Bringing much joy to those who need it.

You know, the best way to "pay it forward" is to volunteer to send an anonymous pacakge to someone else when you can. :thumbsup: Just let me know, because that's what keeps the program going is people who are willing to volunteer to send packages and I have a list of recipients just waiting for whenever someone feels generous. :) :heart:

[Grizabella]

I just got a postcard from Nonny that a package was delivered to someone who may want to remain anonymous and not post about it here. Of course, it's not required to post here if you receive a package and a couple of people have chosen not to since the program was started. I did want to let everyone know that the Nonny program is continuing to spread love and cheer, though, even when you sometimes might not see the results in this thread. :)

Sometimes the reasons for nominating a recipient involve their needing cheering after a personal loss or serious illness or other serious personal problems that keep them from interacting here in the thread. Just remember that, although you may not see active posting on a continuous basis, Nonny is still hard at work. :) :heart:

[Eugenia Madora]

I received a wonderful package from A Nonny Mouse yesterday.
I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Ms. Mouse and her helpers.
I took pictures and I have been trying to figure out how to make the file smaller. I may just put it in my photo bucket.
I was planning to post later today but I probably should have posted and added the pictures later.
My package was really amazing.
It was full of lovely wrapped packages and little surprises.
There were assorted Lindt chocolates, a colorful pen, and a wonderful necklace in a pink bag.
I was also trying to look up the stones so I could tell you what they are. They are lovely black and gray chips.
I am just starting to learn about crystal and stones, although I have always loved rocks.
I also received a Burt's Bees Total Body Kit with body lotions, hand cremes, and even foot creme. I will be a very pampered lady!
There are two books ~ "1000 Masterpieces of European Painting" and
"Putting the Tarot to Work".
I will spend many lovely hours with the art book.
It will take me back to my college days and my art history class.
And I can hardly wait to start reading the tarot book.
and I'm sure you are all thinking "Wow" ~ but there's more!
Three lovely flower magnets and
the Harmonious Tarot!
I have been wanting that beautiful deck for a long time.
I can only say "Thank you so much".
I am truly overwhelmed by the time and thought that went into preparing such a special package.
It has been a difficult couple of months and there are good days and not so good days.
I had surgery in March and there have been some unexpected complications.
Hopefully, I am now on the path back.
Thank you again to everyone who helps Ms. Mouse with her gifts and expressions of support.
It really does mean so much to know that others are reaching out with love and support.
I will post the photos later.

:heart: EM

[celticnoodle]

WELL DONE MS. NONNY MOUSE! :thumbsup:

Eugenia Madora, I was unaware that you had surgery and more setbacks afterwards--so here is to hoping you will soon recover completely, and I'm sure what Ms. Nonny has sent will help you along the way!

thanks for sharing your gifts with us, E.M. such a wonderful package of goodies! enjoy your gifts and get better! (((E.M.))) :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

Thats wonderful hun, so glad Nonny cheered you :)

[firefrost]

So sorry to hear that you've needed surgery and that it hasn't gone smoothly, EM. I hope you will soon be fully recovered. Meanwhile, I'm glad that dear Nonny has cheered you up. Enjoy your gifts!

[Little Hare]

awwwwwwwwwwwwww Ms Mousey

YOU ROCK!!!!!

[sweet_intuition]

*wiping away tears*

So anyway, the past few days have been quite rough for me. From dental procedures, to being in a car accident, to even having a freaky moment with the tarot, which I posted in the 'Personal Readings' thread. Plus, the entire week has been incredibly stormy, making me miss yoga.. and hence feeling all bloated n puffy. And to top it all.. full moon time..emotions running high and wild. And went out on a couple of dates which turned out to be major flops (celine dion lover.. ew). So yes, the week so far was quite a mess, and my energy levels were like super super low.

And then I get a knock on my door, it's the mail man, and he's holding a Priority Mail envelope of the United States Postal Service, with it's blue eagle logo. He said there's a package for me from a Anonny Mouse from Texas. At first I was like.. I dunno anyone in Texas.. and then it dawned on me.. I actually squealed out loud in front of him - needless to say he gave me a 'wtf' look.

Hysterically I signed for the package and ran back to my room, and typed up the message earlier. After a good cry of joy and composing myself. I opened the package to find a stunning indigo blue velvet bag with a unicorn and a (well it looked like) a cute lil sorceress on it. The first thing that came into my hand was a beautiful card that was in a very whimsically stunning mermaid envelope (the card was a mermaid too)... and what was inside was lovely.

I hope you enjoy the package. It was prepared with much excitement and with the wish that it would bring you much joy. Yours Truly Anonny Mouse

Within the deck were 2 stunning decks.

The first was Tarot Deck of Athennium (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/athennium/). And it was stunning to look at. It's a majors only deck that was made in Japan (the instruction booklet is in Japanese, will try finding how to translate it). The artwork on it is really rich and really evocative images.

The second was Power of the Runes (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/power-runes/) deck. I was always wanting to learn about runes, but since they aren't really sold out here, in deck or stone form, I had no way of learning them. It's so wonderful how Miss Nonny was able to tap into that and send this to me.. omg I'm so touched! And the LWB looks really helpful with pretty nice insights.

However, in the card there was something more written that I didn't see at first (excitement has a way of overlooking things)

PS: The Pouch has an inner pocket and there is a deck there

And that deck was..........

The Blue Moon Tarot (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/blue-moon/), and the deck and cards were signed by the creator Julie Cuccia-Watts herself ... How cool is that? And lemme tell you, the pictures on AT do not do justice to these beautiful cards. The Companion book looks really awesome, and I am looking forward to exploring this deck further.

Truly... Miss Nonny, whomsoever you are... You are truly an Angel. Thank you so much for your intimate package that truly brought a tonne of joy within my life. It was so sweet of you to send this to me. I have absolutely no idea what I did to deserve such kindness and you are incredibly sweet and wonderful to have gone through all this trouble to send a package to me from the other side of the world.

Okay... I'm starting to tear up again...gosh I'm such a girl at times..lol.


Thank You once again

Love and Blessings.. and tonnes of hugs and kisses
:)

[Little Hare]

awwww HUGS to you dear sweet_intuition

[Netzach]

What a super parcel! Thank you for putting in the links for the decks. I'd not come across the Athenium deck before . . . those images are stunning!

Hoping you have many, many happy hours with your new decks.

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww SI hugs , Ms. Mouse knows how to spread cheer xx :)

[firefrost]

Wow - well done!

[Neely75]

It's so wonderful to hear our little mouse is still active. I love reading these stories from the recipients of her gifts. I hope you all enjoy your presents! :)

[celticnoodle]

oh, S_I, I'm so happy for you! what lovely gifts! I had no idea you had gone through all that--and I'm sorry to hear about it. Ms. Nonny is wonderful, isn't she?

Now, S_I, I do hope all works out well for you, and you no longer have anymore troubles. Enjoy your lovely decks and I look forward to hearing how they work out for you. Bravo, Ms. Nonny!!! and congratulations S_I! (((S_I))) :heart:

[rcb30872]

Oh wow! sweet_intuition, that sounds utterly delightful.

Sorry to hear all about the other stuff (((((((sweet_intuition)))))) ~ truly I didn't know! (you know why I am saying that ;))

Eugenia Madora, your gift sounds lovely, as well.

Enjoy your gifts!

Sweet_intuition, here's a message for you that A. Nonny Mouse asked me to relay to you:

"A Nonny Mouse read his posts, feels honored to have chosen him, sends him hugs and kisses back, and that his posts were all the thanks she would ever need. If he wants to "return" the favor, then he can pay it forward by volunteering to send a package to someone else on the list."

The little Mouse is always with us, checking on the thread. :D

Who needs "May the Force be with you"? Instead, "May the Mouse be with you." :P

[Grip Dellabonte]

Euphoria! HA!

Hey, EM.....how great! Being the recipient of a thoughtful surprise package must have made you feel loads better when it showed up.

Ms. Mouse is a kind and generous ol' soul. :)

It definitely has been a frustrating couple of months for you. It would be a relief to finally see you get past all those unexpected complications.

Enjoy (slowly ;)) all your wonderful new gifts. If you have to take it easy, might as well have some fun while you're doing it!

Miss Nonny is the coolest, and no amount of hugs and kisses can make up for how I felt once I got her package! And I will follow her advise on "returning the favor" :D

Thank You!
Love and Blessings
And even more hugs n kisses
:) :heart:

I looked at the photo of what you received, it looks delightful! Congratulations!

[missycab]

Oh my, EM!!!! It is a wonderful parcel!!!


Great work, Ms. Mouse!

[Eowyn]

Who needs "May the Force be with you"? Instead, "May the Mouse be with you." :P

LOL

Its always good to read this thread... isn't it? There is plenty of godness and hapinnes to share in this world of ours, and somehow when Nonny attacks, she (or he) lights everyone's day, not only the moused one's :D

[Sebavin]

OOH, yea!! More Nonny stories! Congrats, s_i and EM on your wonderful parcels:love:! A Nonny Mouse is one of the many reasons I love Aeclectic :D.

[Lewen]

I heard a knock on the door and it was the mailman personally delivering a box to me (which is strange in itself since the mailman has to break into the building to deliver packages!!! :laugh:) and it was a box from Miss A. Nonny Mouse!!!!

Thank you so much for thinking of me, I'm very touched, excited and honored and a million other things!!!! (It's so nice to be thought of!!!)

I was so excited to see a card with a picture of one of my most favorite paintings by Josephine Wall called, "The Wood Nymph". To see it up close an in more detail then what is shown online is amazing. I plan to frame it and hang it up. The note was lovely and I can't thank you enough for being so thoughtful! :)

Then I found a cute plastic bag with red stars, I saved it because it is pretty and wrapped in that plastic bag was a black box that housed a lovely multi-colored crystal/gem chips bracelet, I love it! (as did my adoring 5 year old Spudgey who threatened to run off with it!) and a lovely crystal to hang up by a window. Ms. Mouse wrote, "..and a crystal to hang in your window-may this final little gift bring rainbows into your life, filled with joy and happiness!"

What was so amazing was last night we had a double rainbow in the sky, so I felt that this two was connected somehow and it made it all the more special!

I was also blessed with The World Spirit Tarot, which is a deck I've wanted for a while. I can't wait to play with it after my schoolwork and laundry is done! (hee hee!) I also received four great books! "The Beginner's Guild for the Recently Deceased", "Your Aura & Your Chakras", "Calls to Mystic Alice", and a kit/book called, "The Body Book--recipes for natural body care" with some oils in a box attached to the book. I feel so spoiled!!! I have some great reading ahead of me, all with subjects that I am keenly interested in. It's amazing that what you need when you're learning about something gets put right there when you need it.

Thank you so much Ms. Mouse. I greatly appreciate it. I'm honored and touched and send you many blessings from here along with a great big hug!!!!

(((((((Nonny Mouse)))))))).

Thank you!
:)

[Lexie]

Oh Lewen, that's great!! you have been moused again!!! I'm so glad for you :D

Enjoy your gifts, you deserve them!!

Good job M. Nonny :)

[Eugenia Madora]

Lewen,
Your package sounds wonderful!
Ms. Mouse has been very busy this week.
She certainly needs lots of extra hugs ~ (((((A. Nonny Mouse)))))
and all her (((((friends)))))!

:heart: EM

[firefrost]

Brilliant, Lewen! :)

[Netzach]

Gosh, Miss Mouse has been busy. Enjoy your parcel, Lewen!

[Grizabella]

I feel I need to comment here on something.

Sometimes you'll see folks getting "moused" more than once and this might be for a few reasons.

Once in awhile, someone will want to give an anonymous gift to someone who has already been send a Mouse package and they do it this way.

Another will possibly be a small gift shower, such as the one we gave to Dwaas and Starrry.

And yet a third, more likely reason might be the fact that I've lost my computer Nonny files not one but three---- three ----times in the past six months or so! I'm only able have older computers that have been quite kindly donated to me or built from used parts by clever grandchildren but in all the moving around and then just plain due to the age of the computers, I guess, I've lost my files when computers broke down. Now I keep a notebook of handwritten information, which works like a charm. :P There's nothing better than a handwritten notebook for backing up computer files. It's such a good idea that I don't even rely on computer files much anymore. I keep notes in the computer, but at least this way, I won't lose them when they're in my notebook, too. My little notebook never leaves my side. You could say that I use the computer to back up my written files instead of the other way around.

Anyway, don't think I'm losing my mind or playing favorites. It isn't the case at all. Three computers have lost their "minds" but mine is still plodding along. :)

[nanab]

Grizabella dahling, you're not losing your mind. You should see my computer table. I have notes everywhere. I trust what I've written more than looking at the computer. Sounds like you need more notebooks!!!!!!!!!!

[firefrost]

I would just think that anyone nominated more than once had a few very good and caring friends!!!

[Grizabella]

I would just think that anyone nominated more than once had a few very good and caring friends!!!

Yes, now and then someone will be nominated more than once, too. I forgot to add that to the list. :)

[Grizabella]

Sounds like you need more notebooks!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a passion for Papermate pens---the refillable kind---and for journals. My current passion is some small leather journals sold by Walmart for $9.98 or so. They're just right, they're tidy, they fit into my purse, they sit nicely on my desk---if I were rich, I'd have a ton of them. But right now I have one for Nonny files and one for my own tarot stuff.

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww Lewen blessed be , sounds perfect indeed :)

Griz: we dont think your playing favorites or losing your mind at all hun, but I know we ALL wish we were moused at times! lol To be honest I wanted to thank you and all the mousy volunteers- you all make magic happen better than Mickey Mouse- HEY, maybe they're related?!! :)

Magical bless xx

I love ALL stationery. I love stationery stores. I love pins and pens and paper and tape and.....

I wish I worked in a stationery store..... I spend hours in them, just looking. :D

[Netzach]

I love ALL stationery. I love stationery stores. I love pins and pens and paper and tape and.....

I'm so pleased you said that gregory. I thought it was just me. I particularly love French stationery.

My addiction is such that there are no particularlies.... :D

...........though those racks of sheets of coloured paper rate high.....

[celticnoodle]

Griz, I for one think you & Nonny are doing a GREAT job and deserve alot of credit for all this work! You and Nonny are angels!

gregory, netzach & griz, I'm with you! I absolutely :heart: love paper and journals, and such--and am always on the lookout for pretty note paper, etc. I still hand write lots of letters to my friends and family members, even though some of them do have the internet. I also have to purchase the cute little note pads too, and then same for grocery lists, and stickies, -- the list goes on! I use to also purchase those pretty glass caligraphy pens and ink or feather pens to write with as well. :laugh:

gregory, if I worked in a stationary store, I'd be thrilled too! :D the only other store(s) that would be dangerous for me as well is a bookstore, (Barnes and Noble would be great!) or a Christmas store or New Age store! :laugh: can't get me out of them!

Lewen, so glad for you! Enjoy your goodies! Have fun with it all! :) Yes, Ms. Mousie sure has been busy lately--all these wonderful happy packages!

[Little Hare]

I just want to say that it really is wonderful and heartwarming to read this thread and know that Mr & Mrs or is that Ms :P Nonny Mouses are so caring and compassionate.

Beautiful Beautiful shiny thoughtful loving people er I mean mouses

:heart:

[MysticalMoose]

I agree. whenever I feel a bit down I pop into this thread & soak up some of the lovely vibes & it always makes me smile...thank you all for being....you :love:

[celticnoodle]

yep, mystic moose & peace pixie, I agree too! it's just so heart warming and brings a smile to my face with each new mousie surprise! :)

[Grizabella]

Just a post to let you know that Nonny hasn't gone into retirement. Keep watching this thread. In July, we should have more activity, although lately things have been slow. You'll be seeing some June activity soon, too.

[Guiding Cauldron]

Fabulous news Griz, cant wait to catch up on the latest travels :)

Great news Grizabella! It's so good to know that M.Nonny will be able to make even more people happy! I've never received anything from M. Nonny but I want to thank all these kind people that help M.Nonny...when you're through some difficult times it's nice to know that someone cares and remembers of you!

Many thanks to you too Grizabella :heart: :)

Love

[MysticalMoose]

Nonny is such an angelic little furry person I think that she has deserved a rest after all the miles she has been travelling bringing smiles to the faces of all the lovely AT~ers who need it! :)

[gregory]

In case people don't know - I saw in another thread that Grizabella's PC has dropped dead, so Nonny may be short of info for a while.....

[Grizabella]

I'm on a loaned laptop now. My daughter-in-law loaned me hers for a little while so Nonny is still here. But there's just a lull in Mouse activity for now. I know of some things that are in the works. She'll be active before you know it.

And a big surprise! Sometime next week you may actually be able to see Nonny herself! I'll have my grand-daughter take photos of her to post here.

[raventepes]

I'd like to thank Ms A Nonny Mouse for the Infinite Tarot. Though I haven't read with them yet, I did take a look through and find it to be an interesting deck. It deffinitely caught my attention. I'll give it a try tomarrow.

Aside from obvious reasons as of late, today was a bit of an especially bad day at work. A 10 and a half hour day of torture from my previous shoulder injury back in November. It had been bothering me all day, and becasue of that, I was behind a bit (though I still managed to get out on time). I came home and checked my mail to find this little package in my mail box. When I got inside, I opened it to find a Camel cigarette box, which in a way is the brand I smoke, just that I smoke their menthols. So I had to give credit to someone with good taste there :)

Anyways, I opened it further to a little white note (which I read first) and red and blue paper. I unwrapped the blue to find the deck in it and my heart just sank as I smiled to myself. I opened the box and looked through the cards, with each passing card, my head tilting from one direction or another or down a little more than it had been. A curious little deck that looks like it's going to be rather fun reading with.

Thank you.

[Lexie]

I'm so glad for you raven! :D :D :D

Enjoy your new deck! :heart:

Love,

~Lexie~

What a wonderful surprise, raventepes! It always seems like Nonny knows just when and where to give a little bit of cheer, doesn't it? She's such a sweet little member of AT. :D

I'm so glad nonny visited you. I know you've been through a lot lately and had one thing on top of another, so hopefully your new deck will bring some light relief. Enjoy it!

congratulations on being moused Raven. Ms Nonny somehow knows who needs uplifting. She must have a flock of angels peepping in on everyone here.
Enjoy your new deck.

A good friend of mine just informed me about this nonny package and i think it's great i love making people smile....so thanks for this thread i know people will enjoy it alot...:heart:

[Grizabella]

Great news! Thanks to nanab, we now have our Nonny! She came with five seasonal outfits, even! As soon as I can, I'll upload some pictures for you. I'm on a loaned laptop at the moment that will go back to my daughter-in-law this weekend so I can't do it right now, but will do it as soon as I can. I think I'll be having another computer in a couple of weeks. And I think maybe my daughter might bring her laptop over when she checks the mail every day or so in the meantime, so she might take some photos and upload them from hers.

Isn't this exciting? nanab is our mouse-arazzi! She stalked Nonny until we can finally have photos of the elusive mouse! :D

OMIGODDESS--I have been moused!

By "Stephan Mouse"!!

& all the way from Canada, too!!!

Been so bogged down by stuff, this an exciting & earth-moving event. Certainly different. The thought of being moused did occur to me a few weeks ago; & which I ignored because not noticed anything special in the daily cards. Worried that I losing 'It': that indescribable factor that has permeated most of my life & alerted me to things both small & big :D

I was busy doing my usual here & heard the doorbell for the first time in many years because that is how long it has been broken. Despite being two rooms & then some away, I heard hubby answer the door in the vestibule. Aware that words exchanged & that he signed for something. Stayed at my perch because I was engrossed. Until he called me & said a package arrived for me. I was not expecting anything, so very curious. He handed me a heavy box wrapped in brown paper with a customs form pasted on it. The return address partially legible, but could see it from Stephan Mouse in Canada. So well taped, it took me a few minutes to remove the wrapping & get into the box, covered with wide tape.

The first thing I notice is a delicate fragrance like incense arising from the box.

Then the first thing I see is a folded piece of white paper. Unfolding it reveals a typewritten note. At the bottom, a drawing of a mouse. That clinches it: a mousing!! I then read it. The note refers to an item in the box as "...a happy fellow".

Carefully shifting the packing material in the box, I find a wrapped heavy object: a terracotta figure that appears both ancient yet oddly familiar. The amazing thing is that not only does it resonate (& reminds me of the warrior figures found during archeological excavations in China), I realize this figure perfect for my kitchen altar! It is fashioned so it could hold stick incense. It now occupies a joint place of honour with a Kwan Yin statue.

Looking further in the box: a book by Ted Andrews, "How to Uncover Your Past Lives". Now this also an intriguing item. Not actively looked 'to uncover' my past lives--mainly because a few have come unbidden in the early years. & based on an understanding of the purpose for the veil on the past, not tried to investigate. This book offers suggestions that ultimately could result in insights for various current life aspects. Something to consider & perhaps explore.

Further in the box: the Fenestra Tarot!! It has been on my Wish List. A delicately & beautifully illustrated deck, it has an ambience of old English & art nouveau. Looks very readable, too, though for now only studying its imagery.

Finally, a wrapped packet of what appears to be seeds. I sniffed them several times to see if the fragrance from them, but apparently not. Do not know what they are--DUH--but shall try planting them. If not seeds, then perhaps Stephan Mouse can let me know via Grizabella.

An interesting sidenote: Hubby says the doorbell never rang because 'tis still broken. He heard knocking on the door, which is usually how we know someone at the door. Apparently everyone who uses the doorbell finds out it does not work (except those familiar with us & do not bother with doorbell).

I am sure y'all must know what being thought of in such a tangible way means to me. I regret only that words so inadequate--I am both extremely grateful & humbled for the loving & cheering message--evidence someone stopped their own life in these busy times to think of me. Shall not forget the seemingly random act of kindness. & very sorry unable to post pictures of that received.

THANKS EVER SO VERY MUCH!!

(((((((Stephan Mouse)))))) & ((((((Grizabella))))))

[tarot4fun]

(((MeeWah)))

So glad to hear you've been moused!

:heart:

[MeeWah]

Yes :)

This a thrilling event in an otherwise mundane-riddled life :D

[nanab]

(((MeeWah)))

I am so very happy for you. Being moused is such an uplifting experience. I do hope you enjoy every last little gift and remember you are Loved.

[MeeWah]

((((((tarot4fun)))))) Appreciate your taking the time to post.

((((((nanab)))))) I remember your name as one of the older members--in length of membership. & yes, a very uplifting experience. Not realized I needed that until it happened.


Oops--Just saw another item I forgot because it has been in my bathroom:

J.R.Watkins Head to Toe Kit!!

Not seen Watkins products in a long time. Very synchronistic because I was thinking of looking for them again. In fact, the entire Mouse Package so synchronistic--the sender must be psychic :)

This delightful kit is filled with all the favorites, giving you a robust sampling of our natural personal care. Pamper yourself from head to toe, naturally!

Contents:
Peppermint Foot Cream
Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion
Mango Hand & Body Lotion
Lemon Cream Body Cream
Aloe & Green Tea Body Cream
Lavender Hand & Cuticle Salve
Lemon Hand & Cuticle Salve
Natural Beeswax Lip Balm

Packed in lovely reusable clear plastic case. Great for travel & for tucking into purse. LOVE it!

[Grizabella]

Nobody deserves it more, MeeWah. Congratulations and your package sounds wonderful! :heart:

[firefrost]

That's lovely, Meewah - It's so uplifting to hear about nonny!

[MeeWah]

((((((Grizabella)))))) Thanks so much for the very kind words.

& more thanks for being so kind in satisfying my curiosity. & ascertaining that what I thought seeds actually are--the seeds of Hollyhock.

Though know to be originally from Asia (like the figure included), not seen its seeds. Good to know for general information. & prefer to not unwittingly plant something that will not grow, let alone not belong in the ground :D


((((((Stephen Mouse)))))) Evident much thought & time invested in my parcel. Thanks again so very much for your heart!

I happen to have lots of potting soil to mix in with the yard soil. & have picked out a perfect spot to plant the seeds, in one of two beds flanking two sides of the house.

[MeeWah]

firefrost: Thanks, too, for adding your good thoughts :)

[Azarial]

I've been moused!

As I brought in the package, my two kids gathered around me. My oldest son asked me if I ordered a mouse, lol.

I love everything that I received!

The Encyclopedia of Herb Gardening is perfect. I love to garden, and we are looking at trying to buy a house now, so I will be able to have a garden again. I love growing herbs, so this will be very useful.

I can't wait to read Irish Cures, Mystic Charms and Superstitions. I skimmed through it, and it looks like a very interesting book.

I love the oracle deck, it is very pretty. I tried it out, and I love it.

The little basket is very cute, and I can use it to put some of my crystals in. We are going to a festival tommorrow, and it is the only place that I can get crystals in town without having to order online. So I will have the perfect place to put them in. I love your idea of putting faerie gifts in it!

I can't wait to listen to the cd as well.

The spices are great, and I can't wait to try them out.

The prayer beads are absolutely beautiful. I am curious what types of stones you used to make it. Maybe you can let me know through Grizabella. I really do love it.

Everything was really wonderful that you sent me, and it really improved my day by leaps and bounds! Everyone on this forum is so thoughtful, and it restores my faith in mankind that no matter how many bad people are out there, the good out number the bad. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how much it means to me.

[Lexie]

I'm glad for both of you MeeWah and Azarial :D :heart: :love:

Enjoy your gifts!

[Pook]

It is exciting to see Nonny back in action!
I think she may have been vacationing for a few weeks.

Congratulations to the newest mousees, MeeWah and Azariel!
Both packages sound lovely and well planned for both of you!

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh yeah! more Nonny, it lifts my spirits :) Congrats to the newest recipients xx

[Grizabella]

How nice to see MeeWah and Azarial having some surprise packages! The gifts are always chosen so thoughtfully and seem to arrive at just the right time for the person who is moused. You both deserve it so much! I know you'll enjoy those gifts for a long time to come. :)

[Grizabella]

Nonny says to you, Azarial, "I think I used some stones that I purchased in Loveland Colorado that were dyed to look like Turquoise. If there is a white bead, it is Sea-shell from a shop in Tennessee."

It looks like Nonny is gathering little items from everywhere in her travels to make special gifts in her spare time, doesn't it? :) What a busy girl she is!
Maybe that's why she's been quiet lately. She's been taking a break and using her time to do some crafting.

[Grizabella]

There's a postal strike in a certain part of the world that's got Nonny stopped briefly, but let's all pray it's over soon so the packages can flow again. :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh no, a postal strike for Nonny?!!! :( So sad!

Goddess above and
Watcher of Time
let the postal strike
be lifted; sublime!

:) Maybe that will help xoxo

[Grizabella]

Your prayer worked, GC! I've heard from Nonny! The package is on its way and should arrive in about a week! :D

And there's another two I know of in the works as well, so things are moving again in our Mouse thread. :D

[mary ventura]

Grizabella, I just sent you a PM, but on a different topic from the Advertising forum -- I couldn't post this in that forum because I'm not a subscriber yet (maybe next month, finances permitting!)

Mary V

[kwesifriends]

Wow congratulation to everyone and have fun with your gifts and thanks a lot to Nonny. I was lost for so long that I just visit today weee congrats again!

[Grizabella]

Grizabella, I just sent you a PM, but on a different topic from the Advertising forum -- I couldn't post this in that forum because I'm not a subscriber yet (maybe next month, finances permitting!)

Mary V

I got your PM and thanks so much! :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh tis nothing glad I could help Nonny on her way :)

Seriously I can't wait to hear of the next traveling adventurs she /he has xoxo

[Saturness]

Can't wait to see who will be Nonny's next...target? :confused:

I love to see how she makes people around the world happy! If humanity had a 'Nonnier' spirit, the world wouldn't be such a chaos! Lol :D

[Guiding Cauldron]

Well my stars! I've been moused :) To whoever you are you have NO idea how this has indeed made me smile, bless your mousy heart I truly love you xoxo

I recieved a box today and I know I didnt order anything.

Anyway Opened this box and oh my stars its a deck set that I have been trying to get for AGES! I just recently went through a horrific expirience trying to buy this deck from someone online- thankfuly I was refunded but still it was a bust up of a deal sadly. LOW and behold the very deck arrived today AND with a book too- even better than I could hope!

I have just spent the last hour absolutely flaborgasted while looking at all the cards of my lovely SHAPESHIFTER TAROT, and its indeed mine now- I'm SO blown away! The thoughtfulness of Nonny cheering me up, the images of the artist who did the cards, the colors, and the talent of the writers involved with this set have all blown me away with such insight and love.

May you be blessed 100 fold Nonny xoxo

[Sebavin]

Oh, Guiding Cauldron, how exciting for you! Nonny truly is a blessed little spirit :love:. She knows just what one needs, right when they need it.

[Lexie]

That's so great Guiding Cauldron!! :D :D :D

Enjoy your new deck!! :heart:

[franniee]

awesome GC! I am so happy you have been moused! Blessings to you!

BTW the artist signed onto AT the Other day her name is lisa hunt and she is also doing a fairy tarot. I think it was her... better dbl check what I am saying...didn't have my coffee yet. :D

Enjoy GC be well :heart:

Who is next???? :angel:

[firefrost]

Fantastic - enjoy, GC!

[kwesifriends]

Wow taht was a great news Guiding Cauldron. Good job and have fun with the gift.

[Saturness]

Oh GC, the Shapeshifter is a wonderful deck, i personally love it and i'm sure you'll love it too!

It;s nice to see how Nonny seems to read people's mind :) :) :)

Enjoy your gifts GC! You deserve them!

[Grizabella]

The Shapeshifter is, indeed, a beautiful deck! What a wonderful surprise, GC! I'm so glad you were sent a Mouse package. It couldn't happen to a more deserving lady. :heart: :heart: :heart:

[huredriel]

Congratulations GC, I hope you bond well with the Shapeshifter, I've found it to be one of my most magical & loved decks. Let us know how you get on with it :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww thanks everyone but low and behold your not gonna believe this I was moused again today! a lovely belgium mousy delivered a box today to my home and inside was a fabulous ogham tree oracle and a book about druid tree language! There was also a beautiful green oak leaf bag for the deck. Thank you SO much, I indeed feel SO special and looked after right now xoxo Bright bless to you :)

[kwesifriends]

Congratulation again Guiding Cauldron have fun with your gifts and Nonny likes you a lot. :D

[firefrost]

Nice one, GC - isn't that Ogham deck OOP? It is a beautiful deck.

[Guiding Cauldron]

is it oop firfrost? i had no idea. I defiently like the imagery on the cards now to get tucked into the book when i can :)

[nanab]

What nice gifts you were bestowed with. Enjoy your new decks.

:love:nanab:love:

[Grizabella]

Will the Nonny Mouse in Monterey, California please PM me? :) I keep track of addresses for "mousees" but don't always know where the "mice" live but I need a PM, please, if you see this and you live in Monterey.

[Grizabella]

I've found my Monterey Mouse, I think. :)

[rwcarter]

Thank you Nonny for the Tarot of the Four Elements!!!!! They wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I love the bright colors on the cards. I can definitely see using them as a stepping stone on the way to using non-scenic pips.

With the number of decks in my collection, I was somewhat incredulous when I got the PM that I had been moused. But with the bounty of decks that I've received in the last couple of months from a generous ATer who's downsizing, I'll definitely be returning the favor, Ms. Mouse.... ;)

Rodney

[Grizabella]

Congratulations!

And we can always use "Mice", so just let me know when you're ready. :D

It's so kind of you to want to return the favor! :heart:

[kwesifriends]

Congratulation rwcarter and have fun with your new gifts :D.

[thorhammer]

That's a lovely surprise for you, Rodney! I'm so glad that the Mousey was thinking of you :)

\m/ Kat

[firefrost]

It is so nice to see miss mouse back in action again!

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh bright bless rodney; so glad you have been moused too! :)

[Skydancer]

I felt "looked after" when I got my package, too. What a lovely person our A. Nonny Mouse is!! Sure gets around the world quickly - must be a kin of Santa Clause!! :laugh:

*S*

[Mi-Shell]

Oh the Mouse has spread
...into a thread
........in chat!
So check it out;
someone is happy and proud!

[Saturness]

OH RODNEY!!!! :D :D :D

(i'm late, i only saw this now :confused: )

You are SO deserving of a gift! You are such a kind heart, and a great AT memeber, i'm not surprised you have been moused!!!! Seriously! I'd send you a non-mouse package if i could right now :D :D :D

Enjoy it all, because you REALLY deserve it! I'm so happy for you :love: :heart: :heart:

[rwcarter]

Thanks Lexie, Kwesi, Kat/Thorhammer, Guiding Cauldron and Marina. The surprise really hasn't worn off yet.

Skydancer, yes, Ms. Mouse must be a cousin of Santa. Or Santa gave her some of his special be-everywhere-at-once powers.... :laugh:

Grizabella, expect a PM later this week. ;)

Rodney

[bluefairy]

wow i guess nonny really knows when someone needs to be reminded that people do care...it's great!!!!

[karenquilter]

A few weeks ago I had a motorcycle accident, which left me with a broken ankle, & other, more minor, injuries. :( I posted about it in a couple of threads, "How I spent my holiday" & "The Motorcycle was totaled" & got lots of sympathy (thank you, I needed it).

Today, I received a "get-well, thinking of you" package from A. Nonny Mouse, who sent it all the way from Brazil!

I think this is the first thing I have ever received from South America. :grin:

I found myself making little squeals of delight as I opened it. Inside, most carefully wrapped in bubblewrap & smelling most wonderfully, were: a pyramid shaped candle with a blue heart on it, a tiny 36-card oracle deck, a larger 36-card "Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards" oracle deck, a blue beaded necklace, bottles of cologne scented with green tea, pear, and berry; a bottle of apple and cinnamon essence, aniseed-scented soap & hand lotion, a box of rose & wildflowers incense, a red mesh tarot bag with swirling designs in gold on it, and the Animals Divine Tarot kit! There was a little note taped to each item, with a heart:heart: drawn after each message.

Wow. I am not merely impressed, I am agog. :bugeyed:

I especially like :heart::heart::heart: the necklace, which I am wearing at this very moment.

So, A. Nonny Mouse, I like your little box of surprises very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you made my day! :thumbsup:
K

[The crowned one]

I see the mouse that roared is still roaring! It is great to see everyone getting packages and happiness.

[firefrost]

Lovely, karen - I love to read about what's been received!

[Eugenia Madora]

How lovely that our little mouse is still spreading love and good wishes.
I received a package several months ago and I still get a warm feeling when I see my goodies.
I finally took them off the dining room table and they are now in various places around the house.
The Art book is on my coffee table in the living room.
I have to watch my older son when he visits because he is very impressed with it. I may have to find one for him for his birthday or Christmas.
I've started using all the Burt's Bees goodies and the little pen is right here on my computer table.
The magnets are brightening up my kitchen on my refrigerator.
The tarot book is waiting to be read and the Harmonious deck is waiting for me to make a tarot bag.
I took my necklace to our local Gem and Mineral Museum and they identified it as Snowflake Obsidian.
And, well, the chocolates are long gone!
It was truly a wonderful surprise and one that keeps on giving as I see all my little treasures throughout my home.
Many thanks,

:heart: EM

[Grizabella]

I took my necklace to our local Gem and Mineral Museum and they identified it as Snowflake Obsidian.


Snowflake obsidian is from here in Oregon. :D

[Pook]

I love Snowflake Obsidian. It might just be my favorite stone (for now at least!)
I have this great piece in the shape of a super chubby puffed heart. I might like it because its chubby (like me right now :P) but I adore the markings. Theres one the looks like a dragon...kinda....but then, I can see dragon shapes in almost anything!

Anyway....

Go Nonny, Go!! Woooo Hoooo!!

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww i LOVE nonny and do you know she has cousins that help too?!! I specifically know of a cheery mouse too :)

SO happy to hear of your package karen, sorry to hear of yoru accident though; at least you are ok thats all that matters! :) Although I feel your pain about the bike too, I LOVE motor bikes and hope to get another one after my son is full grown and I have less worries about being here for him :)

bright bless everyone xoxo

[kwesifriends]

Congratulation karenquilter and have fun with your new gift. See ya! :party:

[Guiding Cauldron]

ok i wasnt going to post publicly again but I hazve been assured to do so! I think our lovely Grizz needs to explain Nonny showers though for you all to understand :)

Yesterday was truly a fabulous day for me and it all started when the postman arrived so very early lol I recieved a lovely package from Michigan I think- no card, but my jaw literally hit the floor like a guppy fish when i opened the parcel and it revealed a beutiful purple scarf- i adore scarves; AND the Tibeatian Jewel of the Lotus deck set!

That deck is out of print from what I know an its been on my wishlist for ages, i love oogling it on Amazona secondary sellers site but could never afford it, now I have my very own copy!

I have to say I'm in shock and awe with this gift and all the kindnes that has been showered my way; especially of late through Nonny. Some of you are aware of my health concerns and the stress it has placed upon my family and myself worrying for them. I still dont have any concrete answers to the causes or what to do next procedures but I am trying to rely wholly on Mother Goddess and the cosmos to get me out the other side with grace and healing. Nonny has helped with this and has been like my personal cheerleader along teh way, supporting me too. Words can not express fully to each of you my thanks and appreciation xoxo

Now add to that, that I actually found jeans that fit my bum yesterday- so I literally had a well and truly magical day yesterday! :)

With as much love and peace as my soul can muster for all of you (((HUGS))))

[firefrost]

Lovely, GC - stay positive!

[Debra]

(((Guiding Cauldron)))

[Grizabella]

OK The time has come to explain the "Nonny Shower".

There are sometimes when a person reaches such a deep pothole in the road of life that they need every little extra boost they can get to get them through it. In those cases, I do what's called a Nonny Shower of seeing that they get "extra surprised". It doesn't happen that people hit this point often, thankfully, because I feel very badly seeing such pain and worry and wouldn't want to see more people having it, but at the times that I'm made aware of it, I try to do whatever I can to help them through their hard time. GC has certainly hit a bumpy spot in her life that most of us don't have to face, so receiving extra packages has hopefully helped her get through some of that. (Calling it a bumpy spot seems to trivialize it but I certainly hope you know I don't mean it that way, GC.)

So, that's what a shower is. Thanks so much to those who helped with it this time. :D :heart:

[franniee]

I love Nonny visits & showers the like! :angel:

Blessings to all of you! Quick healings!

[firefrost]

I'm with franniee :)

It must be lovely to receive something, then I (as do lots more here) find upliftment just reading about people who have their gifts.

:heart: (((nonny)))

[SaintOfScreams]

So I spent ast night out of the house for Lammas, and I came back home after 8 in the morning to find a surprise!!!

It seem someone "moused" me and sent me some cute stuff!

I got a handmade card with a message of care inside. It was made of purple construction paper and had a picture of Remy (the rat) from Ratatouille on the front, with text that reads: "You've been moused by NONNY" All I can say is the cute, dopey face of that rat makes me want to see this movie even more! I honestly almost cry thinking about it, because it's amazing that a stranger can care so much!

I received a Fenestra Tarot set, which I a reading which right now.

I received a hardback journal with a Venezia floral theme. This has gold gilted edges on the pages, and the pages are lined. The pages have this Victorian floral motif to them. It has a ribbon bookmark, too.

I received a sweet ilttle cat toy mouse. The kind made out of twine rope. I'm not sure if this is a sign to go find a cat to love, which I've been looking into, or it may be Nonny's superheroe mark that she's been there.;) I think I may put it on my Bast altar.

I received a ball point pen, with the body length of the pen made out of a spring, so the pen is "bendy." This is amusing! Must not get obsessed...:P

In a flatter box with a lid, are some candles molded into the form of purple daisies. The box has purple daisies on it, and has a lavendar purple sating rope holding the packaging together.

I received a bag of potpouri, which I am yearning to get into a bowl.

I receive a set of what I think are invitation cards. Some sisters from my reigious group are getting together for "Chick Night" soon. I look forward to using these!

In the tiniest back velvet pouch, there is good size of raw-cut amethyst, which has been coming to me! I want to incorporate amethyst in my card reading, and my crystal magick.

All of this came in a rather arge photo box with a striped blue lid and bottom. It has a two-tone light blue/cornfied bue effect. It's actualy something I was needing to keep my bills and such in order!;):)

Many of these gifts came wrapped in atrological print wrapping paper: a baby blue backdrop with atro/zodiac charts with Stars, Moons, and Suns. Some were in a vivid purple tissue paper.

I have to say that I am truly touched by the kindness I was shown, and that Grace , wherever you are, your actions mean a lot and have taught me a lot about caring!:heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

AWW I'm SO thrilled for you SOS!! That sounds fantastic and what magical timing to end your special Lammas day too :)



Thank you Grizz for explaining showers for everyone too, and no I dont think you trivialized, at least I can start to see some light again at the end of my tunnel lol Love you lots hun. Big squeezy squishy hugs xx

[firefrost]

Fantastic, SOS! Enjoy :)

[bluefairy]

well i am glad to see nonny knows what everyone needs ...it's great to see everyone smile:)

[SaintOfScreams]

*Kisses for bluefairy*

[SaintOfScreams]

And thank you for eveyone's warm wishes!

[bluefairy]

i wonder where nonny will end up now? who will she visit next? and i wish i had her life she does travel alot ...lol

[Debra]

Someone just sent me a lovely etching. Out of the blue. I'm deeply moved. Many thanks!

[Grizabella]

Wow! That's a really nice surprise. Sometimes Nonny even surprises me. LOL ;)

[firefrost]

Ooohhh...Nice Debra!

[kwesifriends]

That was great Debra and have fun with it.

[Guiding Cauldron]

fabulous debra, what a bit of sunshine to your day :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

A thank you to a special Washington Nonny; you are SO dear! I was just saying to afriend recently that I have been feeling a little les energetic than usual and have had some fierce headaches as well so I'm back on my prescription and today I recieved a package from parcel force!

What a treasure of a cube styled box :) Inside was a fantastic Tarot deck; Wise womans tarot set, and a gorgeous oracle deck set; Goddess Inspirations- love, love, love them both! Thank you ever SO much :)

Also there was a brown satin and brightly jewelled journal with artisan paper, and a tulip shaped glass candle holder with a scrummy scented candle- which I am already burning now; but its making me hungry for a cuppa tea and a cake! lol :) Lastly but by no means last is a perfect card with herbs and a cute poem on it- thank you its on my desk already so I can see it throughout my day and help me smile some more :)

Thank you so much for your kindness it is beyond words for me xoxo

Griz- you are a naughty, naughty girl; but I sincerly love you for this; bright bless girlfriend- always!

[Grizabella]

I'm so sorry to hear about your headaches. I used to get them when I was young and they were debilitating. Oddly, I stopped getting them toward middle age. I hope they can find a remedy for you soon.

I'm glad you got such a nice surprise! And I'm glad it cheered you up so much. :heart:

[Guiding Cauldron]

Good Goddess I'm starting to feel rather undeserving of all these precious gifts! What an abundance of prayers, and love my way...it really is quite moving!

My dear Sacramento Mouse forgive me I have been hoarding your package all weekend and not wanting to share with anyone until now :) Your envelope package of treasures was perfect timing as well, thank you SO much; honestly.

I truly adore the mermaid moon incense, I can't stop sniffing the package, gosh I can't wait to burn some tommorrow- weee! I'm usually very particular with incense but this is high quality stuff and all natural resins; a defient plus in my book, and now I have found an even better supplier of charcoal-thank you! The Beautiful bag with the Zerner Farber deck is really lovely, your correct it was not on my wish list but it just shows what I've been missing as I really like the tapestry look and feel of this deck; so thank you for expanding my ideals. :) Your lil note on such lovely paper was a treat, and the crystal ball game is a hoot- gosh it looks SO old too! So far I've had even numbers so heres to some prosperous times ahead :) The best treat of all is that your from California and my beloved Nana there as well; center state. She and I have een talking a bit last week so a Nonny from Cali was super fantastic timing!!

I never cease to be amazed at the Universes timing, knowldege from the cosmos, and the almighty love that is shared with all. I feel very humbled to be a part of recieving such gifts may I hope to give as much as I have been given. Bright bless and thank you again xoxo

[Grizabella]

Congratulations, GC! You're very deserving of your gifts. Never doubt that. :heart: I'm glad you're having little tokens of cheer arriving on a steady basis because I know it distracts you from your worries and helps you to know that you're loved and valued here. :)

[memries]

Thank you, I just received what I think is the most wonderful, unexpected gift in my life, from someone who I cannot even personally thank.
It was so thoughtful and everything in the box means so much to me and is me.

I am home alone and the doorbell rang. I went down and a box was waiting for me from A.Nonny Mouse. That someone would take so much trouble to send me anything is beyond my ken. I can only be grateful as I eww and ahh over all the gifts. Whoever you are, you have a loving, kind, big heart.

I opened the letter first and that was so nice. (It ended with a heart !)
On top there was a Quartz Crystal Point on a key ring
Then, A Shiva Lingam Stone. which I have never had before. It is on a chain, to be used as a Pendulum.
Then a little black velvet bag containing a very clear quartz crystal which just sparkles.
A lovely American Beauty Rose Red Tarot bag trimmed in white on top with black on the very top and the drawstring has two carved silver beads on each side. It is hand made by A.Nonny Mouse. This is my all time favorite color as well so it was very touching to see. That color fills my heart with the joy of living.
Underneath is The Fantastic Menagerie Tarot deck and book, by Sophie Nussle. I have never had any of the Baba Prague decks in my collection and have always wanted one but they were on my wish list. How thrilling is that and I am mad about animals anytime. It will be such fun to take to bed tonight.
On the side is a package of three large specimens, one pink quartz, one white smoky quartz, I think, and one yellow and white quartz (if that is what it is).
They are lovely and if ever I get my fountain put together, they will be in the place of honor. In fact, now I am going to repurchase the supplies for my fountain and get it right this time so I can use them.

On the side is a tube of 20 sticks of Tranquility incense. I just love that smell. Never had any luck in finding that one. It smells like real lily of the valley which is my favorite, fleeting smell of spring.

The main thing for me is the love and care SOMEONE put into the package for me. Memries

[Grizabella]

That's just wonderful, memries! I'm so glad you have the Fantastic Menagerie set now! I just got that one, too, in a beautiful get well care package from bodhran. Did you know that Sophie Nussle is our very own Fudugazi? The book is just a jewel in its own right and I'm enjoying it so much. I've been too sick to get into it very much but maybe today I can.

And the crystals, incense and tarot bag sound gorgeous! I know you'll love these things for a long, long time. Every gift and trade package I've ever gotten from AT members has been full of loving spirit that can actually be felt flowing out of each item long after the gift arrives. :)

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful surprise with all of us. :) :heart:

And thank you to A. Nonny Mouse for having sent the package! :D

[Mi-Shell]

Oh, Memries!
That sounds like a wonderful surprise!
And you deserve it!!!!!
:love:

Guiding Cauldron!!!
I am glad that the parcles still keep coming!!!
All the very best to you!
:love:

[memries]

It was a very great kindness whoever did it for me Mi-Shell. Thank you for replying.

[Guiding Cauldron]

how lovely memries! may the joy and peace surround you continually xoxo Thank you Mi-shell, yes they ahve been brilliant for me and have shown like rainbows around me :) Wherever will Nonny show up next?

[memries]

Yes, I do know that it is Fudugazi but did not get a chance to read it yet. Looked at every card though trying to understand. I think the book will be very helpful. Tonight I think.

Thank you Guiding Cauldron. Love makes the world go around, all kinds of love. Passion and caring, understanding and compassion are all love really just in different forms. xxx

[Lexie]

I'm really glad for you memries :D

Enjoy your gifts

Love and hugs

~Lexie~

[memries]

Thank you Lexie.

[Grizabella]

I need to post here about a gift and card shower that was given to me recently. I'm going to PM the people who sent to me rather than post everything here, but I just have to express how very, very much it meant to me and how uplifting it was when I needed it most. I can't tell you how much I cried over the thoughtfulness and caring of so many people toward me. It makes me cry again thinking of it, in fact. I sometimes feel very alone with things. I've had to live that way ever since I was born and after over 60 years, I'm getting really tired. I'm just overwhelmed with how many people here even read my posts much less care about what happens in my life.

You who included your real addresses, though, do realize what you've done don't you? You just added some fodder to the Mouse's address book. ;) If you're ever nominated for a Mouse package, you'll be taken totally by surprise because she'll already have your address and I won't have to ask for it which would tip you off. :D

Nonny was able to surprise her helper? I didn't think such a thing was possible! :laugh: But I'm glad it happened to/for you Grizabella.

(((((Grizabella)))))

[Lexie]

You deserved it more than anyone else Grizabella (((Grizabella)))

I'm really sorry I'm too broke to send things to people I love or I know that deserve to be given gifts...but I hope I'll be able to do that soon..it's so nice to give to others, it's the best feeling! :)

[magpie9]

I have been mouse-i-fied! :bugeyed: I had no idea that I had been nominated for a pakage, let alone why, but one showed up yesterday!
And it's full of wonderful things!
There is candy and a cute purple pen and a purple journal to go with it, and a lovely little bag with a florite necklace in it. There's a DVD I haven't seen ("clueless"...hmmmnn..?) a package of Tazo teas--smelling heavenly! There's a big lavashly illustrated book of Signs & symbols, and this absolutely amazing plastic ball with emerald green glitter swirling inside that will be the 'crystal ball' for my reading table, LOL! And to top the whole thing off there's the Golden Botticelli and a Power of Flowers kit!

WOW!!!

What a wonderful surprise, and what a wonderful box of surprises! And such a good fit---how'd you do that? I don't know who to thank--which feels a little weird, but here goes, anyway:

Thank You, Miss A. Nonny Mouse, It's Wonderful!
From the Bottom of My Heart :love:
Love, Mags!!

Grizabella, you are one of the most special people in this forum. Just the fact that you are Nonny's helper, for instance, shows what a great heart that you have. You deserve everything, all love, all beauty and care your friends can give you. And we are your friends, even sometimes being so far away physically, our hearts are always connected, and therefore, close.

I'm happy to know your kindness returned to you. You certainly deserve this and much more :)

[Grizabella]

I'm so happy for you, Magpie! I just love the sound of your new crystal ball---swirling glittery stuff! How wonderful! All of it sounds just divine! I'm so glad Ms. Mouse managed to stop by in the beautiful southwest! I envy the generous little rodent! :D

[memries]

Magpie9 is being mousified the same as being deified ? It seems like it to me.
I am happy for you that you received that wonderful surprise. People you don't know are so very kind. It happened to me as well and I still find it a bit unbelievable.

[Chronata]

Yay! That's so awesome Magpie! It made me grin!

[magpie9]

It's all---just AWESOME!!! Yum. good chocolate, too. And really, it's Griz's fault---she started this whole thing, the little minx. :thumbsup:

[Guiding Cauldron]

lol Magpie! I'm so glad you got moused recently what a joy! :) Your right Griz is a minx, but in the nicest sence of the word :)

NO!! GRIZZ.........NOT Mousy Fodder!!!! LMAO. Griz my lovly u do deserve teh kindness and care you receive, your always though of and looked after sweety! We love ya lots around here you know!!

[Grizabella]

I find it such fun and such a privilege to be able to oversee this Mouse package program. I just love seeing people touched by the surprise of getting a package from someone anonymous that just says "I care and I wanted you to have this". There's nothing like it. And it's just as rewarding to make it possible for the givers to have the blessing of seeing their generosity bring so much happiness to another person. Giving for the sake of bringing love and light to someone else without the possibility of gaining something in return because it's done anonymously is magic somehow.

[Netzach]

I was moused in February and among the contents of the box (listed in post no. 395) was a large green velvet drawstring bag. At the time, I couldn't think of a use for it (as it was too large for any of my decks), so just put it away carefully.

But recently we went on holiday (got back yesterday) and as I went to pack my camera I had a brainwave. It's a digital camera and I always take the batteries out when I'm not using it, to prolong their life. So I usually cart camera and batteries around in the original box - which is a nuisance. But not only is the green bag the perfect size to hold the camera and the batteries, it also tucks neatly into my handbag . . . so my camera is always to hand.

So there I was in Scotland, taking lots of photos and thinking very kindly of dear Miss Mouse and her generosity. Thanks again Miss Mouse!!

[thorhammer]

That's awesome, Netzach! The gift that keeps on . . . being useful :D

I wonder, Grizabella, is it possible for you to add a bit of a list of Mousees and their posts to your initial post? That way we could find the wonderful array of goodies that have been rained all over the world by Miss Mouse.

After all, this thread is getting ha-yuge!!!

\m/ Kat

[Grizabella]

You mean like, put a link to the particular posts that contain descriptions of what each package contained so that readers could click on the links and go right to just each post without having to comb the whole thread? I don't know how to do that. I'd be happy to do it if I could, though.

Does anyone else know how to do it?

[thorhammer]

That's exactly it!

You right-click on the number at the bottom-right of the post box and go "Copy Shortcut". Then go back to the OP, click on Edit and type the person's name and then right-click and "Paste" or Ctrl+V.

Does that help?

Is OP the "original post" ? I'll try doing that. I'm still not feeling tremendous, although I do feel considerably better, so it might take me a few days. Be patient. :) It's a great idea.

LOL Yeah, sorry, OP=Original Post :) No worries, it was just an idea. Might keep you occupied for some time . . . if I had the time, as in, didn't have to sell my life for food :rolleyes: I'd make up a dummy post and you could put it in your first one.

might still do that. SO and I had a fight this morning . . . I might be at a loose end tonight. ;)

\m/ Kat

[Grizabella]

OK, there are all the links. I hope I didn't miss any. Thanks for the great suggestion, thorhammer. :)

[thorhammer]

Wow - WHAT a list! Incredible!

\m/ Kat

[Grizabella]

I think it's a great testament to the love and generosity of the people here on AT. You're all a phenomenally caring and giving group of people. I'm amazed to see that there have been so many wonderful gifts given out in anonymity asking for nothing more than to know you've made someone else happy. This is a very rare thing.

Thank you all for making it work! :heart:

[shamoness]

Hooray for all who have been moused! It is so nice to read about the joy and happiness it brings! I love this thread. I smile just reading about all the wonderful mousings. I imagine each box and it's contents as I read the descriptions. Having been moused myself I know just how wonderful it feels to know that someone cares.

Keep up the great work Ms. A Nonny Mouse!

[Sheri]

W:bugeyed:W

I just checked out the list of links in the first post! I had no idea that Nonny had been so busy!!! I don't think that Griz or I had any idea when she came up with the idea last year.

Oh, speaking of last year... I thought I might also mention that the Nonny program has been going strong for over ONE YEAR now! Griz's first post is on 8/20/2007, which means that yesterday was the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of the A. Nonny Mouse program!!!!

Happy Anniversary, Griz, recipients and Nonnies!!! May all your past and future good works come back in 100-fold in wonderful and gentle ways!

It's been an honor to be part of the program over the past year! It's hard to imagine what will happen over the next year, but I am sure that the Nonny program will continue to grow strong and set an example of what good can come of a forum such as this that is filled with warm, supportive and giving people! AT ROCKS because its members do :D

:love: valeria

[Guiding Cauldron]

Did I count that right has there been 83 packages??!!!! Goodness what generosity indeed and 1 yr old too- yeah!!! :) Bright many more blessings to those that run, help, and recieve in future xoxo

[Lexie]

83 parcels??? Oh wow!

Love, hugs, blessings and many thanks to all the people who help M.Nonny :)

~Lexie~

[Grizabella]

Wow! A year! I hadn't thought to look at my first post to see when we started this but I was wondering about it a couple days ago. Thanks for letting us know, valeria. :D I just did the math and it seems like that's about an average of 7 packages a month! Good going folks!!! I'm thrilled to see that we've been so successful and I hope we'll continue to be. Unconditional, anonymous giving is miraculous in the lives it touches and I'm so proud of all of you at AT who demonstrate that unconditionally loving generosity of spirit so well. I've always been impressed with how peaceful and friendly AT is compared to other forums, but I think this A. Nonny Mouse program makes AT and its members truly outstanding and unique in the world of forums for its spiritually beautiful, generous, caring members.

One thing I'd like to say, though, is that I'm not Nonny. It's all you folks around the world who have such beautiful, giving spirits who make up Nonny. I'm just the one who coordinates it all so that the generosity and caring you all show can get packages to the places those loving surprises need to be. I'm just the pen and paper behind it all. (I switched to old-fashioned pen and paper after losing computer after computer with Nonny files in them. :P ) I feel like I get more credit than I'm due for this sometimes and I always want it to be clear that it's the caring and generosity of AT members that are the real A. Nonny Mouse, not me.

[Grizabella]

Actually, as I stop to think of it, I think we've had more than 83 packages because some of the giving was little gift showers for individuals in which they got more than one package.

[franniee]

W:bugeyed:W!!!!! I have been moused!!! :heart: I am shocked!

I was sitting here working on ideas for my website with my daughter beside me watching the Cheetah girls movie and the doorbell rang! We both ran to see what it was - I suspected the postman had a package for me....and there it was from a. nonny mouse in florida!!!

Inside there is a lovely notebook, which my daughter announced we are sharing and has immediately confiscated. :D She wrote our names in it! :laugh: 4 stones that read Relax, Imagine, Pray and Hope!!! All messages I must remember. AND the Madame Endora deck! I have wanted this deck for awhile - oooooo can't wait to open it and play.... maybe this is why I have been stalling on my oracle reading exchange. Now I have the perfect deck to complete the exchange! ;) OK keavy I'm going to get that reading done today! LOL

:heart: Thank you Sweet Mouse! :heart: This totally brightened my day!! :heart:
:heart: I didn't even know anyone had my address! HA!! Good one Griz! :heart:
:heart: Thank you so very much for thinking of me!!! :heart:

And the timing is amazing! My poor husband came home last night and wanted to take me to the emergency room! :eek: I had terrible chest & back pains that traveled up to my neck and head! I was having trouble breathing. I knew it was stress and tried to chill but it just kept getting worse! I took the baby aspirins, just in case and then had a huge glass of wine and within a half hour I was feeling better. This morning I vowed not to let that happen again. :) :love: You are awesome!

[Grizabella]

Wonderful, franniee!

Isn't it amazing how many people will say, "This package came at just the right time" and sometimes it's not even the reason the nomination was made. I'm always so pleased when this happens.

Hugs for you, franniee! :heart:

By the way, I'm sorry for your stress incident. I used to have those and eventually they diagnosed me with inflammation of the soft tissues in the rib cage. It's called "tse tse's syndrome" but the correct medical name for it is intracostal chondritis. It can mimic a heart attack and it's very scary. I've had many, many attacks. What often triggers mine is sitting slumped over so that pressure is put on the ribs that pushes them together, but usually it's more likely to happen during periods of prolonged stress. Lying down helps it subside because the ribs are then not compressed together.

[rwcarter]

Congrats franniee,

It's amazing how that darned mouse knows who needs what and when.... Nonny's the best! :heart: Nonny :heart:

Rodney

[franniee]

Thank you guys!!!! :heart:

tse tse hmmmm off to go look that up. :) definitely not fun!

[Guiding Cauldron]

OH YEAH FRANNIEE!!! I'm so excited for your and your daughter; I know the package was for you but sounds like she enjoyed just as much as you! lol :) Stay stress free my friend xoxo

[shamoness]

Costal Condritis is not a fun condition but it is not life threatening, thank goodness. I've been diagnosed with it since I was 17 and have lived with it for over 20 years. Stress certainly makes it worse! I am so sorry you are suffering this way Frannie.

But you got moused! It sounds like it came at such a perfect time. Good for Nonny she always knows. I wonder where in the world she'll travel next. I'd love to take a glance at all the stamps in her passport!

[Grizabella]

That's right---thanks for adding that, shamoness. It's not life-threatening. Just a darned nuisance is what it is and can be scary.

[franniee]

I am paying very close attention to my posture and I do hunch over at times.... No more hunching!!! Thank you guys! :heart:

[diane drizzy]

I have emotionally been away for awhile and am now just seeing this post.....
It took me a long time to even visit AT since my user name is "diane drizzy".
Even typing drizzy's name in right now makes me so very sad.
It will be 6 months this week that our pug went to play with the faeries, but we still miss her each day.
A Nonny Mouse came to visit me (and my husband) and I cried for weeks.
Thank you can be a very small thing to say but I always think of you and quietly thank you.

[Grizabella]

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Diane. I'm glad Nonny Mouse could bring you some cheer during this time, though. Thank you for letting us know.

I know how pets become such a part of a person's heart. My condolences are sincerely going out to you. :heart:

[Grizabella]

I think I must have accidentally locked Nonny up in a packing bin. She's been so quiet. I'll try hard to find her now that I'm all moved. :) Does anyone know where else the wee mousie might be?

[Debra]

I didn't realize you'd moved, Grizzabella--me too!

I'll keep my eye out for that mouse. Will you please let me know if you find the hoses to our washing machine? :D

[Guiding Cauldron]

I think I must have accidentally locked Nonny up in a packing bin. She's been so quiet. I'll try hard to find her now that I'm all moved. :) Does anyone know where else the wee mousie might be?

WHAT GRIZY you PACKED her away?!!!! Oh dear oh dear what a thing to do after she brought you a nicly padded envelope too recently! Now enoughs enough you MUST share Nonny again with others :)

[Netzach]

I think I must have accidentally locked Nonny up in a packing bin. She's been so quiet. I'll try hard to find her now that I'm all moved. :) Does anyone know where else the wee mousie might be?

Well you know how animals hate moving house. I suspect she's taken herself off for a short holiday and will be back once you've got everything straight.

I'm just catching up on this thread . . . Franniee, sorry to hear you've been poorly. That sort of attack can be very frightening. However, Dr. Bach Rescue Remedy is an extremely effective treatment. It's a natural flower remedy and so doesn't interfere with anything else you might be taking. It works quickly, has no side effects and you can take it as often as you need it. Just four drops, either straight onto your tongue or else in a glass of water or hot drink. And you can order it online (just google Bach rescue remedy).

Incidentally, it's also brilliant for exam nerves, stage fright and all forms of shock and anxiety.

WOW Netzach I have never heard of this. I will go check it out. I have had a few bouts since that first one but none as severe. I lay down and concentrate on my breathing. Who knew I was such a nervous nellie? :laugh:

I have to go to the health store today as it is.... I will check it out. Thank you :heart:

[Debra]

Someone just gave me a subscription to the forum.

Whoever you are--this couldn't have been more perfect. I've just moved to a place where I know no one and don't seem to have much in common with the general population. And the people I work with (I work on-line) are all sending nasty e-mails to one another. Some time in the subscribers' area will surely cure what ails me. You are an angel; thank you so much.

[Guiding Cauldron]

oh yeah Nonny hits again, congrats Debra enjoy!! :)

[firefrost]

Hey, Debra - nice one - see you there :D

[faunabay]

Yea!!!! I got moused!!!

I'm so excited!! (jumping up and down laughing and crying at the same time)

It was so nice to get this package right now that I got tears in my eyes when I saw it at the door!!! And I even waited awhile to open it so I could savor the thought of having it sent to me. :heart:

There is so much in the package that I'm going to have a huge list here. But this is what I got......

A beautiful amythest pendant with the Pendulum Magic book by DJ Conway.
A really pretty nice feeling double pointed quartz crystal.
A couple of wonderful smelling rasberry/nectarine candles.
An angel key chain.
A pretty wall hanging that says "Strangers are friends waiting to Happen" :*
The book Warrior Angel by Margaret and Lizz Weis (looks really good and no I haven't read it yet)
The Sibilla Oracle Cards!
The mini Tarot deck.
Ancient Feminine Wisdom of Goddesses and Heroines!
And a beautifully carved wooden box to hold decks or jewelry!

I don't think I forgot anything....there was just so much in the book I was overwhelmed!!! :heart: It really did make me cry when I saw it at the door!!!

For anyone who doesn't know (I think most do though - I've been crying on everyone's shoulder for quite a while now! LOL) I've been living with my aunt and uncle for over two years because my uncle has altzheimers. Well it's time for them to move into an assisted living facility. So now we're selling this house, moving them, then moving myself and my Mom into another house. Then on top of all that I'm going through menopause too!!!! :bugeyed: Ack!!

So thank you, thank you, thank you Miss Mouse!!! I sooooo appreciate this and needed this pick me up right now!!!!! (still sniffling and smiling too)

[faunabay]

Look what my horoscope said today........

"There is an exciting surprise coming your way, right about now, so get ready to have your daily routine knocked on its ear!"

Seriously, that's what it said. :bugeyed:

[franniee]

That is awesome Faunabay!!! I am so happy your day was special!!!! Great gits Mouse!! Well done!!! :thumbsup:

[shamoness]

Fantastic Faunabay! It sounds like you got just what you needed! Ms. Nonny is right there isn't she. Go A Nonny Mouse!!!! You Rock! So do you Faunabay! Taking care of elderly relatives is a difficult task but it certainly shows what a kind and giving person you are. You are my heroine!

[faunabay]

(blushing) Thanks! They're like my second parents and they didn't ever have any kids so I felt like it was my time to give back to a couple of wonderful people. :heart:

[firefrost]

Oh, how lovely, faunabay! Those gifts sound gorgeous, and just at a time when you needed them. Happy for you :)

[faunabay]

And it was perfect timing to get the box too!!! I'm actually loading the truck today to move my aunt and uncle and we're driving out tomorrow. They're moving to a town about 4 hours away......it's close to a bunch of family. So I'll be out of commission until probably Monday at the earliest. I'll come back and rave about my Mouse box then again I'm sure!!!

I did a small reading with the Ancient Feminine Wisdom deck last night and it was spooky how accurate it was. But also VERY encouraging for what I have coming in my life!!! I got goosebumps!!!

But I've got to say goodbye for now. I'll talk to everyone next week again. Wish me luck with this move.........I'm going to need it. :P

[Eugenia Madora]

Congratulations, faunabay!
I'm so happy you were moused.
Hopefully, you will have time to really enjoy all your surprises once this move is behind you.

[The crowned one]

Good stuff! Glad to see people being moused!

[faunabay]

Well the move went as well as it could. My uncle didn't handle it very well, but I knew he wouldn't be able to. He's already settling down though. And it's definitely the place for them......will be much better in the long run.

I haven't had a chance to explore too much of the stuff from my Mouse box, but I have put the Feminine Wisdom deck into the wooden box. It's perfect for it. I haven't done anymore readings with the deck yet, but am soooo looking forward to it. I've also put my keys on the Angel keychain and have begun reading the book. But can't wait to get more time to explore the Sibilla deck and the Pendulum book too!!!

I still feel the glow from getting my Mouse package!!! It was just so perfectly timed I can't believe it!! Big hugs to Miss Mouse!! :*

[afrosaxon]

Hi all,

I don't know what I've done to have Ms. Mouse visit me TWICE in one year, but I'm grateful.

And I'm also laughing my arse out at how the Universe works.

For those of you who don't know, I lost my beloved, ten-year-old, broken-in, New Orleans Voodoo Tarot deck a couple of weeks ago (I posted a thread about it in the Chat section) Despite checking in at the bus terminal's lost and found, it still hasn't turned up. It was suggested to me (and I agree) that perhaps the loa decided to visit someone else who needed them more.

Then I got a package in the mail today from Ms. Mouse. There was a cool mini-crystal ball in a little purple satin drawstring bag (:thumbsup), three cool rocks (can't identify them--one looks like it may be snowflake obsidian, one is a kinda cobalt-blue/purplish cat's eye-type stone, and one is like a fossil of some sort), and a black scarf with a gray-beige afrocentric/tribal pattern on it. I unwrap the scarf and...yes, it was a New Orleans Voodoo Tarot deck! And it looks brand new!

There was a nice note from Ms. Mouse which read, "I know this copy won't replace the one you loved, but I hope it brings you some small joy."

Thank you so much, Ms. Nonny! I am very pleased. :D

**hugs**

[franniee]

OH that is perfect! :heart:

[Grizabella]

I'm so glad the Universe wanted you to have another NOVT, afrosaxon! I was hoping something like that would happen. :D

[minrice]

That is too cool afro! Hurrah for Ms. Mouse!

[rwcarter]

Congrats afrosaxon! I wasn't fully aware of what had happened to your NOVT (rarely visit the Chat forum), but glad that Nonny was able to see to it that you got another one.

Rodney

[firefrost]

(((T)))

I'm so glad nonny visited you!

[Guiding Cauldron]

aww thats fantastic of Nonny on both counts :)

[Netzach]

Just catching up on the thread. And all I can say is three cheers for Miss Mouse for bringing such pleasure to people who needed it.

Well done, Nonny . . . and enjoy your prezzies, faunabay and afrosaxon.

[memries]

A bit ago Nonny send me the Fantastic Menagerie. Now I am not well again for the moment and am able to sit in bed and read the accompanying book by Sophie from cover to cover, which I am finding very interesting and will study each card as I go.

So I wanted to thank again that dear soul who sent me the wonderful box.
It really is appreciated.

It turns out I will live to be nasty again another day ! LOL

[franniee]

:) and I am sitting here using my lovely Madame Endora cards! Thank you again Nonny! :heart:

[Netzach]

And today I have been working hard, typing up notes at the computer . . . and, while doing it, I have been listening again to the lovely "Yoga" CD that Nonny sent me a while back!

[Mi-Shell]

(((((((((Memries!)))))))
I am soooooo sory to hear, that you are not feeling well!!!
I will send you special prayers and drum for you tonight!

[The crowned one]

Actually it is funny so many people are mentioning their past mousing's right now as that is just what I want to do!

The CD I received: 2 songs made it on to my "abuse file" that means I play it over and over ;) and the rest of the CD is on my "play often stack" still!

The Owl pillow cover has just been packed away and when I finish my little "pub" it will have a place of Honour there! (up until a night or so ago it has been in my living room, and until I finish my pub..it will go back into my living room at the new house) ... I never found out who moused me ( and I did put a small effort into finding out... someone on the "mystery train I think ;) but I sure am still loving the package! Again thank you so much!

[Grizabella]

I'm so glad to hear this. I can't tell you how many times I've enjoyed my "mousings" over and over again and the kids, too. The gifts given anyonymously like this just keep on giving and giving and giving. Not only that, but the program has taken on a life of its own, where I sometimes see a Mouse visit that I didn't know about ahead of time or when someone will contact me to say they have a certain someone they've chosen all on their own and need an address for. But we all know how mice are---no matter how you try, you can't seem to catch a mouse at its business. ;) The Mouse still remains a secret wherever she goes. :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

I have had lil nonny reminders around my house and when the chips are really down all i do is gaze at a certain areas in my house and see a reminder that someone cares enough about me and my chaoes, then my heart feels warm again :)

[Grizabella]

I've just been too well blessed by Nonny Mouse and I never dreamed that would happen when I started out facilitating this program.

Today I went to pick up a package that was supposed to be delivered here to the apartment last Wednesday but that I missed hearing the postman knock so I got a pink slip. When I went out Friday to the post office to present the pink slip and get the package, they gave me someone else's package instead. I stayed indoors till today but went back to straighten it out and hopefully get my own package this afternoon, expecting it to be the card case from Terheutl because she's the only one I was expecting anything from. When I first saw the package, I saw it was from A. Nonny Mouse and using my own PO box address as a return address. I thought, "Well, that's an odd thing for Mary to do, since I know she's not trying to keep me from knowing her address. She gave me that." She's the only one who knows my new address here at the apartment, I think.

I opened the package when what to my surprise, inside was a beautiful white and gold brocade box with a little stowaway inside! Amy Mouse, Nonny's sister, came bringing me gifts! I opened it and inside on top was a pretty star with a note saying that it contained thyme seeds and with instructions how to plant it to grow the herb thyme!

Then, underneath were several little items wrapped in blue tissue paper. One of them, also in a plastic bag, on which was printed, "Miss Nonny's sister---Amy Mouse!" I opened it and inside was the most beautiful tiny white mouse with a lovely, long delicate tail. She has beautiful pink eyes and nose and mouth and delicate pink inside her tiny ears. With her she brought a pretty little clear quartz crystal--my favorite kind.

Inside another of the little packages was a lovely puffed heart necklace. The heart is a very pretty pale amethyst stone. I put it on at the bus stop and have been wearing it since.

Inside yet another little package was a beautiful, beautiful handmade angel ornament with crystal beads and a crystal heart. It's so beautiful! I'm going to hang it somewhere that the light can shine through it.

Amy Mouse has been to Chronata's website (and I suspect to her house, too. ;) ) and got two of the little charms for me that I think are so cute, one a frog and one a cat. Each has a little printed explanation. The Frog says: "A fertile abundance is about to shower you with blessings! Frogs bring new joy and simple pleasure after the rains of sorrow or grief. As a Talisman Frogs bring vitality and energy and aid in healing illness!" And the Cat says: "New feelings of security are coming to you so you can relax and no longer fear repercussions. As a Talisman --helps you communicate with unlikely candidates, regardless of whether they speak another language, have passed into spirit, or are another species altogether." I'll carry these to the eye doctor with me. :D

Inside the package was an exquisite little handpainted, hand made card that says: "You are such a wonderful soul~and mouse helper--You deserve a little gift of cheer!"

And it's signed Love, Miss Nonny.

People always comment how these packages couldn't come at a better time, just when they're needing a pick-me-up. It's certainly been true for me. And I know nobody knew I'd be having this new medical problem that suddenly cropped up in the last few days because I didn't know it myself till Friday so it's truly uncanny that I've gotten this awesome package just at this particular time. Thanks so much to whoever this Nonny helper is! (I think I know who this dear heart is but that doesn't make it any less special---only the more so. :heart: )

Oh, and the beautiful box that held all these sweet things is going into my box collection. I love pretty boxes of all sorts. :)

[celticnoodle]

I can't think of a better candidate then you, Grizabella, the Miss Nonny A. Mouse best friend! While I was reading about your prizes, and saw the frog and cat items, and read what they meant, I thought, "wow! just what she truly needs now with her eye problem, and isn't it funny how they came just at the right time!" - only to finish reading your post and seeing you realize the same. :) I think it's just showing that all will be fine with your eyes--and that all you do is so much appreciated. I'm glad that you got such a beautiful and wonderful Nonny package of love! :heart: :thumbsup:

[minrice]

Aw, that's sweet Grizabella! I'm glad you are getting moused too!

[afrosaxon]

It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person, Griz! :D

And I'm surprised that you hadn't been Moused before!

T.

[faunabay]

Oh, this is just perfect!!! It's so wonderful that Amy Mouse was thoughtful enough to send a package to you!!!! Beyond a doubt you absolutely deserve this lovely package and the joy of getting it!!! :* :* :*

[Guiding Cauldron]

horay for nonny! :) Your SO loved Grizy xoxo

[firefrost]

Lovely, Griz - you deserve it. :)

[flying black kat]

Dear Grizabella:

I am so happy you got moused. The joy of knowing that you are loved by all of us and wished the very best for, is a great feeling to keep you going when the day is not as nice as you would like. You are very special and those whose lives you touch know that.

"May the best of your yesterdays be the worse of your tomorrows." (from the movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight")

Kathy

[rwcarter]

Grizabella,

Happy to hear that you got moused again. It's nice to know that Nonny (or her sister in this case) can even surprise her best helper! :laugh:

Rodney

[Grizabella]

Thanks, everyone. I'm so touched! I haven't done all that much to deserve all that's been given to me, here in this thread and elsewhere around the forum. It always seems to me that I'm the dysfunctional one always having more problems than a person should have at my age. Being the facilitator of Nonny Mouse is such a wonderful thing to be allowed to do because I get to help others bring so much joy and love and support to other members and that's very uplifting and rewarding to me spiritually and emotionally. Whenever I get a Mouse surprise, it seems like more than I deserve for doing something I love doing.

I have to tell you all something that the wee Mouse didn't know but that I'm sure she'd like to know. My oldest, K., used to say when she was tiny "I'm going to be a star, Grandma!". She'd get on the step stool and perform for everyone when she was about 18 months old or so and then get upset if everyone didn't listen and applaud when she was done. We HAD to watch Lawrence Welk every Saturday night from the time she was under a year old. Her Indian name is Noquisi, which means Star. She has a "thing" for stars---star earrings, necklaces, pins, patterns on her clothing, etc. This morning I was looking for the star you plant that grows thyme and found that she has it and wants to be the one who plants it. She just thinks it's "awesome". :) Just a little thing, but I thought it was cool.

[QUOTE=rwcarter] It's nice to know that Nonny (or her sister in this case) can even surprise her best helper!

Rodney [QUOTE]

Yeah, I never know how my address gets around. Especially in this case because I don't think I've given anyone but one person my new address and it wasn't this Mouse helper. :P

[Guiding Cauldron]

I wonder what the mousys been up to? :)

[tarotlyn]

Well...the :heart:NONNY MOUSE:heart: was just sited SNEAKING over to my house!!!:bugeyed:

[firefrost]

That's lovely, Lyn. You need to pamper yourself in the midst of your upset and worry.

Take time to enjoy them! :)

[Lexie]

Lyn, I'm so glad for you, you deserved it!! :D :heart: :love:

You surely needed something to cheer you up a little bit :)

And of course our little sneaky mouse acted really fast :D

[Guiding Cauldron]

So thrilled for you TL; may things feel a bit brighter for you xx

[All Is One]

Never saw this thread before. The Mouse is like a little AT mascot or something. Very good that you got this package, and just when you needed it most!

Good work, Mouse!

[Pook]

Oh Lyn!
How nice for you! I love that Nonny was there for you when you needed some love and uplift!

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and bless that Nonny Mouse for being with you too!!

[Quester]

Yea Nonny Mouse!!! TL I am happy that Nonny found you just when she was needed! Positive energy is on the way to you!

[Aulruna]

Lyn, I'm so happy Nonny thought of you! Brightest blessings and strength to you during this difficult time. :love:

[Grizabella]

This is just exactly what the Nonny Mouse program is meant to do. It's to bring some comfort, cheer, joy and happiness to people. I'm always very, very glad to see it happen. :D

[rwcarter]

Lyn,

Sorry to hear about your husband. I hope everything is OK/will be OK with him.

:thumbsup: Yeah for Ms. Mouse bringing some joy to your life at just the right time! :thumbsup:

Rodney

[karenquilter]

Way to go Nonny!

[afrosaxon]

Another satisfied customer: :D

BlackRoseIvy has been Moused!

[blackroseivy]

This is a HUUUUUUGE thank you to my Ms. A. Nonny Mouse, who sent me the most WONDERFUL care package!!! Let me tell y'all what-all I gotz:

- a big cuddly Teddy Bear named Radcliffe :D
- one of those little cups with a tea-pot on top tea-for-ones, which I had wanted to get for myself!!
- inside was a Sacajawea 1-dollar piece
- a li'l toy prismatic thingie
- a brass embossing stencil & burnisher set
- a lovely beaded hanging lady whose motto is: "We need to have more people who specialize in the impossible!"
- 3 pairs of LOVELY fuzzy-sox, one of my FAVE things & my own 2 pairs are beginning to get worn out!!
- 2 VERY amusing home-made cards (obviously someone is quite the artiste here! )
- some crayons just for fun
- one of those wonderful blank Tarots which said on it: "WRECK THIS DECK & have fun" - now THAT is a REALLY wonderful thing because I have a couple of these, & can always use more - you see, I am ambitious enough to want to paint up an ENTIRE 78-card hand-painted & -gilded with real gold deck in egg tempera, a project on which I REALLY must work, & as I say all the extras are certainly VERY welcome!!
- & now, la pi`ece de resist`ance:

I wondered why the heck this box was SOOOO big & heavy! Do you know what was on the bottom?! AN ELECTRIC BLANKEY!!! :laugh: See, I'd been doing a little complaining about this bedroom of mine, it's all the way in the front of the house & exposed a bit; there is no heat just outside the door (there is a kind of "anteroom" that was once the hall landing) & there is only the 1 little register. When it gets cold, it does seem to have a tendency to be a tiny bit nippy in here, & I can't get an electric heater just now; an electric blanket really is the most ideal solution, & I just can't believe how wonderful & generous people are!!! :D :D :D

You know, I want to just say here that the state of the world just at this moment has me VERY depressed. I mean, it just is HIDEOUS - & SO many people out there are so selfish & just make it worse!! I try very hard to focus upon the POSITIVE people I come across, the ones who make it so much easier to face the rest of it. You know? THIS was definitely one of those moments that made me feel that maybe, just possibly SHMAYBE - the world sometimes is NOT so bad!

THANK you A. Nonny Mouse, & I hope to be in a position to someday pass on the wonderful love that you have shown me!!!

[flying black kat]

BRi I am so glad to read that you have been "moused". All the things you received sound wonderfull. I have 2 pair of that type of socks and I love them. The electric blanket is one of those gifts that just keep giving. I hope you will show us all the cards that you design. Enjoy and have a great day.

kathy

[firefrost]

Nice one, Bri - enjoy! (copied my post from the other thread ;) )

[Grizabella]

I'm so glad you got a solution----and such cuddly warm ones at that!---to your lack of heat in your room. I can just imagine how cozy and warm you're going to feel when you take your cuddly Radcliffe and crawl under that nice, warm blanket! Nonny seems to always know just the thing and just when to deliver it, doesn't she? I'm so happy for you! :D :heart:

[All Is One]

I just came from your other thread, so I'll post it here too. Congratulations, BRI. Great package, and you needed that blanket!

[Feretian]

Blackroseivy, so glad to hear you got moused! You've been needing a break. Winter may not be quite so bleak if you've got a warm bed. Enjoy!

[blackroseivy]

AWWWWWW thanx everyone, I'm mighty happy with everything!! :D

[tarotlyn]

:heart:BRI...I am so glad to see that the little Nonny Mouse is getting you all warm and cozy!:thumbsup::):heart:

It is just so amazing how much of a "difference" that mouse can make when you are feeling low...
...such a sweet little mouse!!!:)
:):heart:Lyn

[Scarlet27]

xD This is the 1st time I see this thread; I couldn't get much info from the thread's title so I came in to see what it was about and let me tell you guys.. what a WONDERFUL idea!
I read everyone's posts and they just transmit happiness :)
Keep this amazing thread going!

[Scion]

I've been MOUSED!

I was sick all weekend. Feeling under the weather still... got home from hellish meetings and my doorman plunked this big heavy box in my hands and I assumed it was a book order (which is a regular thing in my house :D) but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it could be.

Then I got upstairs, and Nonny Mouse's name on the return put a big suilly grin on my face. A beautiful big candle in kind of stacked dark jeweltones, a chunky reptilian journal with gilt edges and a massive velvet bag with a beautiful stone disk on the drawstring... :thumbsup: And the perfect, perfect, perfect card. So thoughtful and loving. Totally knocked me into a better frame of mind for the rest of the week.

The mouse has done it again! Many many thanks and long may she scamper!

:heart:

Scion

[Grizabella]

Awwww, so glad she visited your door, Scion. And I'm glad it came at a perfect time to bring you much needed cheer. :D

[Netzach]

Good ol' Nonny. Done it again!

[All Is One]

That's wonderful, Scion. Your package had some beautiful things in it. I've been here for six years (on and off) and I didn't even know about Nonny until recently. It adds a whole new dimension to the forum.


Very cool.

[thorhammer]

Yaaay, Scion! Glad your parcel cheered you a little :)

\m/ Kat

[Scion]

Cheered me a lot actually. It was a helluva weekend and a helluva week starting out and it definitely snapped me out of my vague "universe is out to get me" frame of mind.

Ain't that just like the mouse? :)

[The crowned one]

Ya Scion! I am happy for you!

[minrice]

Hooray for Nonny! That's exciting Scion :)

[firefrost]

Brilliant, Scion! :thumbsup:

[Tongodiva]

Awwww! Just reading this thread makes -me- warm and fuzzy :) I'm a sucker for charitable acts :)
I just love this forum! So much good energy!

Fuzzy 'n' Wuzzy,
-T.

[blackroseivy]

Well, it happened - I cracked the new electric blanky last night!! :D :D :D The WIND - omg, it was INSANE! Rattling the windows in their casements, thrashing the trees against them - it was fit to take the shingles off the roof, I'm telling you! So, out came the electric blanket & WOW is it ever a nice one! The ancient one (I think it was made in the late '70's, early '80's at latest) that I remember from college was this thing with a dial, it had 3 settings - ALL of which were too hot, & I'd fall asleep & then have to wake up & turn the thing off after a while. THIS one is electronic!! It has SUCH precise settings, you can warm up & then it shuts off automatically, & it has increments that are so precise that I can keep it at JUST the right temp ALL night long!! :D

So THANK you A. Nonny, this gift is just gonna keep right on giving!

& AWWWW Scion, how wonderful for you 2 also - because I KNOW how low one can get feeling, & then for THIS to happen in the midst of it is just SO wonderful!

[rwcarter]

Congrats Scion on being moused.

[Grizabella]

So just let the elements do what they will this winter 'cause Bri is toasty warm! I'm so glad to hear it!

[minrice]

Electric blankets are heavenly aren't they? I used mine all the time in Colorado when I was poor and had to turn down my heat, haha.

[Grizabella]

I received this from Dwaas today. She had a package on its way from Nonny that just arrived and this is what I received by PM:


"It arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so touched, there is handmade soap and candles and they smell like heaven. And there was a beautiful necklace !!! And choclat and the cutest notebook with a nice pen and incense. Thank you and Nonny soooooooooooooo much! Can you please update the nonny thread? I can not find it but please tell that I am a very happy Elisa and I feel the love from you. Thanks again.
Love, Elisa"

[silverwings94]

We have a electric mattress pad that is just heavenly. I can't tell you how great it feels to get in bed and your bottom is nice and toasty warm.Its been a great lifesaver here in western NY.Right now I'm recooping from knee surgery that I had last week and let me tell you it feels wonderful to lay there.We don't turn on the heat in the bedroom cause its all electric and it just drys out the air, so this is just perfect.
S
Electric blankets are heavenly aren't they? I used mine all the time in Colorado when I was poor and had to turn down my heat, haha.

[Lewen]

I am caught up on this thread, Way to go Nonny!!!! (and I'm happy for the most recent recipiants who have been blessed by her!) :D It sure does brighten up your day, doesn't it? Nonny is special and I look forward to reading more of her adventures in the future.

[rwcarter]

Dwaas,

Don't know if you've found this thread yet or not, but congrats on being touched by Nonny!

Rodney

[Grizabella]

Here's a further comment from Dwaas that I just received:

That candle with the honeymelon, vanilla and almont smells divine! Please tell, we cry for so much love from Nonny, please tell her/him we appreciate so much. Bunches of love back, and for you to help such a lot. Be blessed my friend.

[Netzach]

Here's a further comment from Dwaas that I just received:

How lovely of her to post . . . and to know that her parcel is bringing her pleasure.

[Grip Dellabonte]

So nice to peek in on the Mouse thread! :)

Happy days to the mouser and the mouse-ees! :thumbsup:

[Mi-Shell]

Hi guys! Thank you!!!!!!
I have been Moused!
And not by a Deer Mouse from outside, from the forest, but from a very sweet and secretive Nonie Mouse from ???- - Germany????
There were a number of lovely and astounding treasures in the parcel!
A Majestic Great Horned Owl flew into my heart on a card stating "Nonie Mouse express" and another Owl, entirely made from feathers, sits on a small log contemplating just where she now is!
Then there is a large white shell suitable for keeping crystals, herbs or even for smudging!
Then a set of salad spoon and fork made in Kenia! Finely carved and decorated wood!!
Some sweets - or rather Cat shaped European liquorices! My all-time favorite!
Next there emerged a DVD about wildlife in the Yukon and a wonderful book about the Medicine of the Aborigines in Australia!!! Secrets of healing from a magical continent it says. The book is German!
But most surprising of all is, wrapped in tissue paper there is a complete Xultun Tarot deck!
I am soooo amazed!!!! In the summer I tried to trade for this deck with a member here but the deck disappeared in the mail and never made it here! - - - or DID it?????? ??!!??Raventepes!!??
I am soooo surprised and very very thankful!
Lots and lots of huuuuuggggs to you all! -
- and Ms. Nonie Mouse!

[Grip Dellabonte]

Wow! Congratulations, Mi-Shell!

[rwcarter]

Congrats Mi-shell!

[firefrost]

Wondrful, Mi-Shell and Dwaas! :heart:

[Barbaras Ahajusts]

I'm still in total shock over my gifter, the Nonny Mouse! Whew!!!!!

Yesterday late evening, we drove by our mailbox and I felt a package in the dark box. I couldn't see what it was till we got to the house. A Nonny Mouse from California, San Jose to be exact sent me the TRANSPARENT TAROT!

I opened it up and just stood there gazing at this beautiful and awesome deck.
"Someone gave this to me? OMG...OMG...OMG!"

Then I got sneaky and tried to look them up using their return address! :laugh:
What can I say, I never was good at getting a gift without sending a gift in return!:D I know, that was so bad! But not to worry, I couldn't find a way to locate them! ;)

What can I say? I'm blown away and tickled beyond belief.
A Nonny Mouse, whomever you are I am truly touched by your gift. When I held this deck I knew from the get go, that this is a true intuitive deck and it has set a few chakras on fire for me! :)

This is a totally awesome, and mind blowing experience for me! Bless you over and over!

Thanks to all the A Nonny Mouses..meces...mices...OH JUST ALL OF YOU!

But right now...a personal and loving thank you to my A Nonny Mouse! You gave me something that will be used, treasured and loved! I even plan on embroidering the Fool on the lower right corner of the spread cloth. I think it deserves a special touch for a very special deck!

AAAAHHHHH!
I got the Transparent Tarot!
OMG & AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH, again!:D:D:D:D

Whooo hoooo!:party:

Bless your heart!

Barbara Ann

[Lewen]

Sounds like lovely packages, Mi-Shell and Barbara, enjoy!!!! :)

[afrosaxon]

Mi-Shell and Dwaas...congratulations! Your packages are gorgeous.

A Nonny Mouse from California, San Jose to be exact sent me the TRANSPARENT TAROT!

I opened it up and just stood there gazing at this beautiful and awesome deck.

Good show, Ms. Mouse! :thumbsup:

[Dwaas]

Found the thread again. Thank you Nonny!!!!!!!!!
Saw that my first reactions were already posted, thanks for that too :)
I really can not believe, how sweet. The whole house smells so nice from the candles and the incense and I keep the beautiful necklace on the whole time. What stone is it? I seems to have a million colours when light falls on it. Thank you, thank you, I feel blessed with so much love from you!! Happy for everybody who got surpirsed by Nonny, enjoy as much as I do :D
xxx Elisa

[rwcarter]

Congrats Barbara. That Nonny sure has been busy lately between you, Mi-Shell, Dwaas, blackroseivy and Scion all just this week. The Energizer Bunny has nothing on Nonny! :laugh:

Rodney

[silverwings94]

Congrats everyone. I hope Nonny has enough batteries to keep her going? maybe we should send Nonny and package of them so she never runs out sending all her love to everyone.

[firefrost]

Nice one, Barbara!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!:bugeyed:
The TRANSPARENT Tarot?!
Girl, you must be living right. :D
Good show, Ms. Mouse! :thumbsup:

T.
Right?!?
Gee AF/T, Nonny must have taken pity on the drool I was losing over this beautiful deck!!

All I know is I feel so loved and adored everytime I look at them! Plus them being the beauties that they are...I just feel spoiled rotten!!
Gotta love Nonny for wafting "the love" in my direction!

Justa Purren Here,
:DBarbara:D

[Grizabella]

I'm so thrilled how this Nonny program takes on a life of its own sometimes. Once in awhile lately, the Divine Miss Mouse will send a package to someone she hasn't even consulted me about, as in this one for Mi-Shell. I think that's fabulous. I hope this means that the spirit of the Nonny program has really caught on so that the spirit of giving anonymously will thrive and live on.

I have to share with you that someone very dear (I don't know if she wants to remain anonymous or not, but till I can ask her, I'll keep her name secret) sent me a surprise box----a BIG box!---of Tarot and oracle decks, each of them in a beautiful bag, some with their books, and many of them in handmade lidded boxes in addition to their bags. One of them is a limited edition, even! She said to sell, trade, keep or give them away as I felt moved to do. I really can't profit from something so freely and generously given to me by selling or trading any of them, so I'm going to use some of them for Nonny packages of my own. I've always wished I could send Nonny packages myself but haven't been able to, so now every once in awhile I'll be able to. :D I was so surprised and so overwhelmed at her generosity! She's definitely an angel in disguise, I'm positive! I felt that she needed an acknowledgment here because she was so very generous and giving in a big way. :) :heart:

[Netzach]

Lovely, lovely, lovely to read about such WELL-DESERVED gifts from Nonny. I hope you all enjoy your lovely gifts.

[firefrost]

That's lovely, Griz. And lovely of you to use your own gift for Nonny presents!

[Grizabella]

I made a post earlier today and now have reconsidered this idea for the time being. Going to think about it a little more and if it seems feasible, I'll re-post. :) I want to give it some deeper consideration first.

Oh. I read it earlier and liked it; I didn't have time to post before, but came back to say I liked the idea.

Oh well.

[Netzach]

And this has left me wondering what on earth this idea could be. Do tell us Grizabella . . . the worst we can do is say 'no'.

[firefrost]

Yes, what Netzach said!

[blackroseivy]

There were a couple more things in that package that I missed when I did my list: Tension Tamer tea to go with that tea-pot which is now my FAVE & I use it every day!, & a loofah.

The beaded lady is now hanging from this nail that just happened to be in the middle of the rear of my 2 doors which lead from the kitchen to the living room. She certainly adds a spot of cheer! :D

& I am VERY happy still with all my prezzies!! :D

[Grizabella]

LOL Okay, I'm back to post the idea again because I got a PM that someone had already started filling a box last night with things for me to put into packages as soon as she read that post. I posted that last night and then thought maybe I shouldn't just pour it all out like that.

Here goes again but I'll give it its own post.

[Grizabella]

Mouse Memo

In the past day or so, I've had the suggestion in my PM box more times than one that we could help out the Mouse program by having a collection point for items that would then be put into Mouse packages. One lady offered handmade Tarot bags because she loves to sew, for instance, saying she could make them in spare time and then send them to me when she has a few made. Another had some bonus points she could use on items she wanted to donate for packages. The suggestion was made, too, that it would be a good use for those little things you see when you're shopping that you don't need yourself but they're just neat or they're a bargain or you find them at garage sales. We all know those times, huh? And it would be a good use for things you have sitting or lying around the house that you want to donate. (No husbands, please. :P )

If people would like to donate to this and would include three or four dollars in the package to help me with postage costs, I'll be thrilled to make packages and send them out. I mentioned this to the kids and they were so excited. In fact, S was jumping up and down, clapping her hands. They said they could go to the post office with Mouse packages in their backpacks to mail them.

It's only a little over $8 to send a sizable flat rate box within the US and $11 to send a big flat rate envelope overseas. If two people sent $5 in postage a package could go out even to an overseas destination.

I'd like feedback on this idea in this thread and if you're wanting to be a donor, contact me by PM. I've had one person who was already putting together a box after reading my post last night and she was alarmed to see I'd taken the original post down. :P

I always have a supply of empty flat rate boxes and envelopes here so packaging is no problem. All I'd need is some postage help and as I said, even two or three dollars in with donations would go a long way. I have the time to do it and I'd be absolutely thrilled! So would the girls.

[Netzach]

I think it's an excellent idea. However, only people in the USA would be able to put in a few dollars towards the postage. How about having a UK 'collection centre' as well, if someone would volunteer to do it (regret I really don't have the time) and then UK contributors could put a pound or two in towards the postage.

Would the UK and Europe be included together? And then there's the Aussies and New Zealanders, too. I'm not familiar with how the postage system works anywhere but here. Paypal would be an option worldwide, wouldn't it? Doesn't Paypal convert money to American dollars? Good point, Netzach. :)

[Grizabella]

Oh. I read it earlier and liked it; I didn't have time to post before, but came back to say I liked the idea.

Oh well.

Wait thorhammer! The idea is still on the table! I just wanted to sleep on it and make sure it was workable! :)

[Feretian]

Grizzy, grrreat idea. And I'm in any way you do it :heart:

[Grizabella]

Thank you, Feretian! I appreciate your generosity and support! :heart:

And thank you to nanab who has PM'd me and to Netzach for her input here in the thread. I appreciate it very much!

[tarotlyn]

MOUSED AGAIN???????:bugeyed:

The mail just came...and...
Goodness:bugeyed:...I just got "ANOTHER" package from
THE mouse!!!:bugeyed: It is a BEEEEEEAUTIFULLLLLLL scarf!
Oh, I :heart: LOVE IT so much! The colors...my colors exactly!
...and some more tea...I LOVE tea too!

BUT NOW...I am feeling so "guilty" here becasue that
mouse is so busy coming to my house!

That scarf is so warm and cozy...makes me look like a million bucks!
:heart:thank you:heart: to the mouse with the busy little hands (all that knitting!):bugeyed:

Love this thread!
I will be ready (in Dec.) to help the Nonny Mouse send a little package to
someone else in need.

Thanks A Nonny Mouse!:heart:
:):heart:Lyn

[rwcarter]

MOUSED AGAIN???????:bugeyed:
You must be living right! Congrats on getting moused again.

Rodney

[Lewen]

The scarf sounds lovely! Nonny is so nice! :)

[stefficus]

that's wonderful, lyn! don't feel bad. ms. mouse is capricious, but we don't argue with her... she knows best.

[firefrost]

That's nice, Lyn. I'm glad you got moused again, you need something to cheer you up a little. :heart:

[mysticmanth]

Wow, what a lovely idea is this.
I have only just noticed it and wow...reading through it sounds amazing.
This site is just amazing...im so glad i joined it x

[Avishia]

Grizabella I think that's a wonderful idea :) Also think the paypal option might help for those wanting to donate to postage... maybe even those that can't send items might be able to contribute some paypal funds for postage or purchase of extra items if needed... Just a thought... know that means a few extra steps for you probably to set up an account if you don't have one already but may give a few options...

Another idea... people could donate Amazon or other gift cards or credits to be sent to recipients...

Also (ok I used to do a lot of fundraising and organizing of stuff like this...) people that have tarot related business might be willing to donate items each month to needy recipients... I'd be willing to do some leg work on this since I've done this type of work before... Just let me know!

Just thinking out loud here...

Hugs,
Avi

[Grizabella]

Here's a list of things that would be useful for donations if anyone has something and cares to donate it. Many of these things don't cost anything or not much at all because they're things you can beachcomb for, grow in the garden, etc.:

Dried lavender: Many people would love to have some sprigs of homegrown dried lavender in a package. It's lightweight so shipping it is cheap if you're concerned about postage. It makes nice little sachets combined with other items and the girls want to sew so that would give them a project.

Tumbled stones and little natural crystals are always sought after items. If you have any or access to a few to donate, the postage would be more than for lavender but a few stones and crystals would make a welcome addition to many packages.

Seashells are a great item, too. If you live near the ocean you could pick up shells for free and they'd be so wonderful to put into packages.

Here in Oregon, my daughter has found hag stones on the beach, also called "fairy stones". They're stones with holes clear through them and the myth is that if you look through the hole, you can find fairy rings.

Runes are easy to make and stones from the beach or pebbles from rivers could be used to make them. Making them from wood local to your area is lighter in weight to ship.

Candles are always appreciated. There are little spell candles in most metaphysical stores that only cost about 25 cents each. If you have a buck or two, you can get a handful of candles and send them for inexpensive postage because they're not heavy. Other candles in larger sizes and scents if you have a couple around could be donated.

Feathers would be wonderful! Small feathers would give the girls a project making tiny feather fans to be included in a package with a seashell and some incense or sage to make a portable smudge kit for the recipient. They've made their own simple powwow fans for dancing and they'd love making miniature ones. Feathers weigh nothing to mail. But be sure they're not from an endangered species or another forbidden feather.

Rolls of charcoal. They're inexpensive and can be divided up into a few round wafers so that one roll would make three or four packages.

Incense of any kind---stick, cone or resin.

Tea lights---they're really small and one Dollar Tree bag of tea lights would make additions to probably 20 or so packages to be used with a little oil burner or simmering pot.

Scented oils for use in simmering oil burners and such.

Those bundles of fabric called "fat quarters" or any salvaged fabric or fabric scraps from sewing would make up a lot of beautiful Tarot bags to go in packages and, again, the girls would just love to learn to make those for the packages.

Leftover lengths of cord, ribbon or bias tape to make Tarot bag ties.

Scarves to be used for spread cloths or in the hair or other uses. Some of them weigh almost nothing to send.

Tarot bags and spread cloths already made if you're someone who likes to sew and has fabric remnants and if you want to make a few and send them now and then. Postage would be on the minimal end.

Larger beads with larger holes to use on the ends of the ties for the bags.

Odd embellishments like metal, glass or ceramic sun faces, moons, crystals---any odd item that could be sewn onto a tarot bag for extra adornment.

If you have extra card stock and ink and are feeling crafty, blank note cards for Miss Mouse to write in would be great. You could even make up a selection of them and write Mouse messages in them yourself. That would be excellent because then it would keep some of the mystery going for Nonny packages because handwriting wouldn't be so recognizable as if the packages all came with one handwriting.

Soaps, bath gels, lotions---I don't know about you but I've got a whole cupboard full of that stuff that my daughter donated to me. It's always a purchase on a whim when we find something at the Dollar Tree or on sale somewhere else, but then it's never used. If it's not going to be used, it's better to donate for this project than to throw it out, eh? ;)

Those bath poofee things. I just LOVE those and they're so cheap plus they weigh almost nothing, so you could mail a bunch real cheap. But even if you were to just grab one our two and send them on, that's a nice addition for someone who might be sick and not feeling very attractive. Nothing perks me up more than sudsing myself up with something that smells good with one of those poofee things.

All of these things I've suggested are suggestions only, not a shopping list intended that you send some of everything. My intent is just that if you have something around, contributing to this project, even if you think what you have is too little or not fancy enough---it will all be put to good use for combining with other small donations into little "we love you, think of you and are praying for you" packages. Nothing is too little, too plain, or too insignificant. Three shells here, a few feathers there, a handful of lavendar, a roll of charcoal, a couple of handmade cards----those simple donations can make several packages.

More ideas:

Satori knows how to make an oracle out of found items. She might be willing to share how she does it if you ask her and you could make up an oracle or two and print some directions how to use it. That would be an inexpensive donation, maybe.

It goes without saying that if you have decks or oracles or books you'd care to donate, they'd always be warmly received.

You can make Goddess smudge mixtures using rose petals, lavender, sage, cedar and other ingredients and a bag of that can then be divided into little bags to make many gifts. Those items are very lightweight and easy to send.

I know many of you make jewelry, knit scarves and Tarot bags, crochet items, etc. If materials like leftover yarns and other crafting materials were donated, I know of several people in addition to my girls who would be willing to help if the materials were sent to them.

I hope these suggestions are helpful. I hope they light a spark in whoever is interested in this program. Never think your contribution is too small or insignificant because as you can see, it can go a very long way.

In all honesty, I think this will work to enhance the Mouse program a lot because rather than having to depend totally on my matching volunteers with recipients, which is slow and sporadic, this will be much smoother and more efficient.

Oh, almost forgot an important one---teas! If you have a favorite tea, donate a few bags in an envelope---it's just the cost of a stamp or two---and if I get several donations like that, it will make a nice little tea selection to put into a package.

Hot chocolate: got a favorite chocolate brand? Or do you make your own hot chocolate? Send a few packets and if it's homemade, include the recipe.

Coffee: there are coffee drinkers here who might like a little gift of your favorite kind. A packet of coffee and a little packet of flavored creamer would be cheap to send and could go into a package.

If you think of something you're not sure about, just ask and we'll see how it would work. :)

How about adding your own ideas to this thread?

[firefrost]

How about adding your own ideas to this thread?

I think you've already mentioned everything I like collecting!

Hmmm... ;)

[blackroseivy]

WOW it's so great that you came up with this idea, Griz!! :D I am going to start collecting, & to start MAKING too because being an artist I can certainly add a personal touch to things!

Just let me know where to send... ;)

[memries]

I will certainly donate. Not sure what but a bit at a time makes it easier for me than preparing a package.

Not just sure when as I am in the midst of my own crisis but will.
I think it is a great idea. Let's face it I have 20 decks and use three. I just thought no one would like them anyway if I didn't.

As for gift certificates from Amazon that would work for me but does that mean you have to buy the books then or ? How would that work ?

A great idea I have quite a few little cystals as well. I guess marking the envelope .. gift.. would eliminate the duty ? They are sticklers here for charging duty on everything they possibly can.

I hope you're not in a health crisis or anything too serious otherwise, memries. I'll keep you in my prayers either way. Like the old saying goes, growing older isn't for sissies, is it? :)



As for gift certificates from Amazon that would work for me but does that mean you have to buy the books then or ? How would that work ?

With Amazon gift certificates, I'd either buy the person another gift certificate or a book or deck and have it sent to them. I'd include in their package a card telling them to watch for an Amazon package or that I'd gotten them a gift certificate and tell them how to use it. Postage amounts are taken right out of the gift certificate so there's no need for me to worry about postage costs myself.

A great idea I have quite a few little cystals as well. I guess marking the envelope .. gift.. would eliminate the duty ? They are sticklers here for charging duty on everything they possibly can.

Yes, you just mark the package as being something cheap in value like $10 and mark it as a gift. I've done that for a long time now without a problem.

[Grizabella]

WOW it's so great that you came up with this idea, Griz!! :D I am going to start collecting, & to start MAKING too because being an artist I can certainly add a personal touch to things!

Just let me know where to send... ;)

That will be wonderful to have your original creations to include sometimes, Bri! You do lovely work! :D

[Grizabella]

Incidentally, everyone who chooses to donate anything can PM me for my real name and address and any Amazon information.

[Netzach]

Amazon gift certificates are great because they don't even have to be posted - you can just get a number that the recipient fills in on the Amazon order form.

[silverwings94]

Hello Everyone,
Ms mouse visited me this morning and what a shock it was. My hubby came walking into the bedroom with a huge smile on his face and said I had a package from a Ms Nonny Mouse.
I can't tell you how shocked I am that she came all this way to surprize me. She was even sitting inside the box just waiting to see my face as I opened it.
Today has been a very stressful and sorrowfull day for me. My neighbor os burying her father tomorrow and I can't even be there to be by her side.
I am having alot of pain with my knee and walking isn't easy.

I will write more later as to what Ms. Nonny sent. I do have to say one thing How did she know that I love hummingbirds, and that its my nickname???? I have it hangingin my window so that I can look at it everyday.
Will write more after my nap.
Blessings,
Silverwings

[rwcarter]

Congrats silverwings! Sorry to hear about your neighbor's loss.

Rodney

[Lewen]

How exciting for you Silverwings! I hope your knee gets better. Sending some hugs and energy your way. ((((Silverwings)))).

Hummingbirds are beautiful, aren't they?

[flying black kat]

Congulations of your Ms Nonny Mouse package. I am sorry to read of your neighbors loss.

Sending prayers and healing to you.

Be at Peace and enjoy.

Kathy

[stefficus]

aww. it must be the season for knee trouble - my mom is going to need surgery on hers this week. it's a happy thing to have a mouse to brighten your day, though!

[firefrost]

Lovely, silverwings - looking forward to hearing what you got!

Hope your knee is better.

[Netzach]

How did she know that I love hummingbirds, and that its my nickname????

Well, as many of us have discovered, Miss Mouse is psychic and she knows EVERYTHING! So glad that you've received a parcel to brighten your day. I hope your knee will be better soon.

[silverwings94]

Hello Everyone,
As promised I am about to reveal what was in this very appreciated package from Ms. Mouse.
Right on top there was a card from Ms. Mouse wishing me a speedy recovery andreminding me to keep my mind busy and I will heal quicky and that I am loved.
he first gift that I opened was a very beautiful ceramic tile of one of Brian Frouds Faeries called The Owl Queen. She is simply beautiful. I am going to hang her in my bedroom so I can see her first thing in the morning. Owls are also one of my favorite animals. Next there is a beautiful winter hat that really looks like its hand made and I love it. It fits perfectly. I will be wearing this all winter especially when I have to go out on middle of the night EMS calls. It gets really cold here in western NY. Next there was a pair of purple gloveswith snowflakes and spirals on them these will go perfect with my new hat.Next ther was a black satin bag and inside I found a stretchable mood ring, a beautiful glass bead bracelet, and beautiful black and copper wire bracelet. that is adjustible finally a Infinity necklace with 5 Infinity circles, Joy, Health, Laugh, Hope and Strength.Next there were 3 different candles. They are all Beanpod Candles,One is a small jar candle in lavendar(my favorite herb), next a Lil'Bean votive candle in the scent of Evergreen which I will be burning on Yule, and thirdly, 6 tealight in Sugared Spruce. They all smell deliciously yummy.Next I found bags of crystal scattered all over the box. I gathered them up and here they are.Carnelian, Rhodonite, Rutilated Quartz, Morganite, Cat's Eye,Amethyst,Snowflake Obsidian, Clear Quartz, Amazonite, Bronzite, Petrified Wood, Black Onyx,and last but not least Jade.i am thinking of possibly wire wrapping a few of these to wear as a necklace. Next there was 2 boxes of mini painted round and heart candles all wrapped up in a box , these also smell ver yummy. Next there was a Tarot Deck The Tarot of Gemstone and Crystals. How perfect to go with my new collection of crystals. I have seen this deck and always wanted to get it but never did. last but not least, another tarot deck, The Sacred Circle Tarot. I had this at one time on my personal wish list but I forgot all about it. I guess Nonny really is psychic.
I can't begin to tell you how I appreciatedwhat Ms. Mouse has done for me. As I said yesterday was really hard for me , everytime i got a littlemore quiet hubby would hand me my box and tell me look how much you are loved by people that don't even know you. and then I would go though all the goodies and it would pick me up andtoday I feel much better and maybe even healed in some way.
Thank you Ms. Mouse for all your kind and very generous gifts.I will treasure everything forever and when I wear my hat and gloves I will be thinking of all my ffamily here at AT.
With Love and Light,
Silverwings
(Kat)

[nanab]

Hi everyone,

We are going to close this thread due to length. However, it's all good because Grizabella has made a new thread to carry on that can be found here.

Carry on with the great works :D
