I'm glad to see that you received my card and snowflake as I sent one to Austria that never arrived. When I pop something in the mail, I just never know if it will get to where it's going. :) You received so many lovely gifts. The tea towel from Vicki is so very pretty. Hope all is well. Have a lovely week. Tammy
