swaps revealed

Melinda joined the Dressed for Winter swap after deadline so I was her partner too......can't let a good friend craft on the sidelines, right?

Here is what I sent her.... a snowflake fairy ornament

a crocheted scarf in a color that will look amazing on her...

and some other 'stuff'....another ornament, a book she MUST READ RIGHT NOW (while soaking in bath salts and drinking hot cocoa...oh, and eating m&ms! )
She can have the tea later...right now, she needs chocolate!


and look at what she sent me, love it! A beautiful winter dress ornament...

a vintage necklace with a mysterious past...

some gift tags and buttons.....the mushroom is on my tree though...too cute to use as a tag!




See?

Thank you Melinda! I hope you love what I gave you as much as I love what you gave me!

Two Days In a Row!

Yesterday, my mailbox presented me with a fabulous box from Sandy (The Faerie Wysperer).

This cute little chick is just perfect for me! Add vintage buttons, feathers and wire feet, and I'm a happy girl!

She also sent DARK CHOCOLATE Milky Ways. I photographed them and hid them on top of the fridge before the boys got home from school!

Sandy's friend drew the two owl portraits. I sure do wish I had that kind of talent! Lots of fun owls here!

Two sets of rubber stamps! I'll have a good time with these!

Flowers and inspirational words! My niece is coming for a visit in a few weeks. I feel a craft session coming on!

As if that wasn't enough, when I opened the mailbox today, I found another package with my name on it. I won the door prize this month!

Inside this fabulous drawstring bag was...

these brightly colored fat quarters! I do love bright colored fabrics!

And, just in time for my garden, I'll be adding these seeds to the bed beside the driveway!

Don't you love this adorable acorn?

These straight pins are so pretty. Can you believe you just use them to sew? I think I'll just find one of those cute pin cushions and display these pins!
