Another Surprise for Me

A few weeks ago while reading the blog "The Morning Latte" I entered a giveaway for a gorgeous pincushion Owl.

Cheree of The Morning Latte asked us what we would name the owl.  Now I said that the little blue owl in this photo (from Cheree's blog) would have to be named "PEEP" as he looked shy.  Don't you agree.

Well much to my surprise Cheree emailed me saying I had won.  Peep was going to fly to my place.

That is a long way for a baby owl as Cheree lives in the USA and I am in Australia.

This is what I saw when I opened the box.

 Then a little bit of movement and...

a little eye peeping out from behind the packaging.

And after a little time, our shy little "Peep" came out to say hello

 Isn't he gorgeous and looks so cute and young.  I am not sure if he understands my Australian accent yet, but he seems to be settling in just fine.

Thanks Cheree
