All Mine....

I love my package.

It's enchanting and even a little bit magical.

Look at this beauty.

The tail feathers are glass beads.

And his wings are glittered.

How cute and  how clever.

I also got some Christmas tins with delicious  homemade candies.

And a stack of Christmas fabric fat quarters.

AND, my package came so Christmasy.

This is what I saw when I opened the box.

Thank you Kerry, 

it's on its way!!

i got my package in the mail today....just in the nick of time! one thing i do know about my partner is that she loves vintage, a fact that i really wanted to cater to. alas, i stalled and stalled due to this fact and searched for just the right thing to bring that touch to my ornament. in the end, i went with what i know best and have my fingers crossed that she will love it despite it's *simpleness*. ;)

sneak peeks for ya!

truthfully, i really love the final product. this is the first time that i have made something for a swap and not made one for myself and i found it a bit hard to let him go!

the day before i shipped out i was making these beeswax ornaments. they are so fun and they smell divine! i included one to go with the little gnome and chocolates (oops! did i let that slip?!)

here's hoping you love your package, whoever you may be!! ;)

Fabulousness Received!

Thank you Melinda for all these wonderful goodies which arrived at my door yesterday.

Such pretty packaging :->

Isn't this fab!  I especially love the little tree made from fabric selvedges.  Stinkin' cute!  I got Three! ornies, some wax melts and Ghirardelli chocolates, yum!

Gee I hope she likes vintage!

Well nothing like waiting till the last minute! (I once red jane eyre in 2 days for a book report, somebody out there knows what I'm talkin' about!) Had the ornament done Wednesday but ya know! So here's what I put together, I hope she likes it!

Did ya hear me?

Truly, did ya hear me SQUEALING when I opened my package?

Even the wrapping is precious...with heart confetti no less!



You'd squeal too...look at the gnome home and the cardinal AND THE HEDGEHOG!
Oh!
My!
Gosh!!!!!!

look at that FACE...who could resist that face. I have GOTTA get me a real one some day....


and Shamrocks (I know them as oxalis and have SEVERAL in my yard, how did she know I LOVE them so...?she MUST have been sneaking around my blog!)


then a little bag of bubbles and shiny things for the 'wee' folks to keep them happy! Now I MUST make a fairy house to keep them warm...hmmm...maybe that would be a fun 'make along'???

Thank you SO much Sandy!!!

Straight From The Rockies...

Okay here it is... a peek at what's on it's way to someone!

From fabulous


I spy with my little eye...



A box to fill...



These are best right out of the freezer. Just saying.



A little stitching here and there... they were small so you get two!

A hand-stitched snowflake and a Gentle Giant in the forest, adding a little something to his Christmas tree...

Enchanting!

Oh, and this guy insisted he be sent along. Just to keep things safe and secure. Hope you don't mind...

I mailed one and I got one!!!!!
