A DRIFTWOOD COLLAGE, AND WONDERFULL GIFT FROM lIZ AND.......


Some weeks ago Dear Dawn  giftet me with a digi-sheet of her lovely new found herbarium, with long
ago dried flovers.--And today I made this first driftwood collage with one of the beautifull items.

I think it is fantastic that they preserved so well, in so many years. I made a copy on fabric,found some beautifull nature elements, and a little rusty  pieces and laces.
If you wants to buy the whole sheet from Dawn ,just click her name-it will take you there.20 wonderfull  different ones, is in the sheet. Thanks again sweetie, I so love them.


And then to my latest recieved presents.
Sweet dear Liz ,Lululiz in Lalaland-- asked me directly when was my birthday, and thats why the date came on my blog,
Only I answered her very late,-could`nt imagine she would do other than tell me :happy birthday, which would have made me so happy.
But the so dear lady ,had other things in mind, I found out.
See ,this sweet packed gift,

Inside a collection of wonderfull heavy  weaved fabric
beautifull trim,lace,ribbon,-old wonderfull tags
buttons,collections tags, and a sweet cake-form

wonderfull laces on  wood pegs
and the most beautifull little jug,so lovely with the lilac flowers.
and see the wonderfull tag, Liz made me.
I feel so blessed dear ,what a sweet and giving friend you are.
Thanks from my heart for all this goodies,can`t wait to use them.
Big kiss to you...
This beautifull little heart I recieved from Jillayne,A Fine Seam -- a for me new blogger, that makes the most wonderfull patchwork.  I have visited her beautifull blog, -and this sweet lady ,wanted to send me her sweet hand-sewed heart, just because she is a so lovely person.
It is just wonderfully made,-Thanks so very much dear Jillayne- I love it.

Also had to show you that I recieved this gorgeus book from my dear soulmate Solvejg
and this great packet with handmade paper,paperclayes, and a stamp sheet
from Bente, a danish friend living in Australia.
Dear Bente thanks so very much,you alwayes send me so wonderfull gifts.



Now, althoug I had many other kind of wonderfull gifts, this is the last post-PROMISE-
about birthday presents.
I so love all the goodies I recieved, and am so blown out, of the fantastic goodness, and love here,between bloggers, never experiensed anything like it.
SO ONCE MORE THANKS FROM MY HEART ALL VERY DEAR FRIENDS.
Also thankyou so very much to everyone that wished me a happy day, it realy makes me feel blessed, and
so thankfull. --Love you all.
