THE FIRST PAGE IN A DREAM JOURNAL I WAS GIFTED !!

This is a part of the first page I creates in a gorgeous birthday gift ,journal, I recieved from my dear

friend YVONNE   http://yitte.blogspot.dk/ . I made it while on vacation,and with very few materials.

The stamps are from Redleadpaperworks.com

AND THIS IS MY STUNNING JOURNAL FROM SWEET YVONNE.

I did not believe my eyes opening it up, seing this most beautiful journal-book

Yvonne created it on a workshop made by another dear friend of mine NELLIE   http://www.earlymorningthoughts.typepad.com/

this is the back, and beneath you see some inside pages .

There are lots of papers for me to create on, and the journal folds over twize .

I love the blue-red-white colours Yvonne used and little sweet words ,embroidered in ceveral places.

I hope you click for bigger photoes to see, and to read the lovely poem.

Here another beautiful spread .

And on top of such a gorgeous handmade gift I also recieved this most beautiful bag filled

with lovely scenting dried lavenders! I is such a wonderful creation, now hanging in my  eating area in

my kitchen .

Look at this lovely doll attached the packet ,isent it a sweet idea!!!

And this postage stamp writing Denmark.-Copenhagen I have never seen

in a danish shop !!, I don`t know where  Yvonne found it, but so sweet of her to

think about me, and also gifting it to me.

THANKYOU from my heart again, dear friend, You made me so happy with those 

gorgeous gifts, Yvonne. Thank you dear and so very much also for your friendship.

TIME FOR VACATION GUESTS !!

My wonderful grandkids  arrives tonight with their father, to spend

some dayes with us here , and I`m so happy to see them,- later they change 

father, with mother :-) and stayes with our daughter for almost 2 weeks!!

What a wonderful summer we will have ,being together for weeks.

Lovely roses strung ,to hang and dry in my window 

Here the dried version, lovely in soft pink.

I created this collage for my dear sweet friend Yvonne, http://yitte.blogspot.dk/

I loved using the handmade plaster head , making it look as a porzelain

head, using Diamond Glace. It mostly consists of old laces in lovely shades of white and nature

colours. I`m so happy that Yvonne loves, it. 

I want to wish you happy weeks ahead, as I will only now and then be on your blogs, dear friends.
