A wonderful surprise from over the ocean!!!!

I received the most wonderful package from my dear friend Dawn Gold...we did a little "not so secret sister swap" and as you can see...she spoiled me royally!!!

This is the lid of the box that she altered, using modeling paste and paint along with gorgeous images, flowers, and the nicest "friend" phrase!!!

Here is a close-up of the lid......oh my, it is so gorgeous!!!!

And then, she made a little "best friend" canvas and sent a little easel along with it....I am truly honored!!!


Here's a pic of my cat Christmas waving "hi" to Dawn...hehehe!!!

Here are some of the goodies she included....beautiful buttons, charms, embellishments, pretty feather, & ephemera!!!


More goodies....ribbons & trims, pearls, a beautiful old dictionary with that gorgeous image on the front, little blocks, gorgeous flocked paper, and a dream dangly!!


And even more....a wonderful chipboard book box filled with wooden spools, eggs, and all sorts of buttons, charms, & brads!!!


Wonderful rub-ons, Laura Ashley embellishments, & lovely ribbons & fibers!!!

Thank you, dear Dawn, this has been a real treat....you have really spoiled me...I love it all and will treasure your artwork!!!

Hi girls!!!

Thank you Sarah, Judy, Joanne, & Peggy for leaving such nice comments!!! I have been having a ball making art & ordering seeds for my garden...I definitely have Spring fever!!!!

Well, actually those rocks are the shattered bits of my kidney stone.....they are probably more expensive then gold, ounce for ounce LOL!!!! And certainly more painful!!! Well, I'm sorry to tease but I couldn't resist!!!

And here I am posting again and it's only the 1st week of March, will wonders never cease!!!
