Sheila Morales won our last Bluebird Bag Contest and she lives within a half-hour of Nesting Newbies headquarters, so I asked my daughter Molly (who was home on vacation from college) to help me load up the car and come with me for a door-to-door delivery! We arrived, walked up to the front door, rang the bell…only to discover that we were at the wrong address! But Sheila was on the lookout and waved us over…we said “oops” and “sorry” to the sleepy gent we disturbed, and began to pull out boxes and packages to bring into Sheila’s home (only white glove delivery for our fans : ).

Sheila’s husband was home and the two said it felt even better than Christmas morning! Molly and I were thrilled to step in as Santa’s elves. What did they win? Check it out…
