BEAUTY WITH THE POST

Last week the post brought me a big packet- from where?

from U.K.  for me ??? I did not get it....

Opening it up, there were the one sweet packet after the other !!

some with a beáutiful french old sheet under the ribbon

And then I saw this gorgeous tag-AND I KNEW..

LIZ, my dear friend- send me her fantastic christmas packet,that she had showed on her blog some dayes before- Click the button to visit Liz, and her wonderful new ETSY shop,also.

isen`t it the sweetest tag-I so love those two sisters

Now as LIZ herself had showed the beautiful black board on her blog, I knew what was in the biggest packet, but all the small ones- I had to ask for permission to open up now-before christmas :)

Isent it the most wonderful black board you have ever seen ?

I LOVE  it dear Liz  -you embellished it so lovely.

See how my name is spelled on top, and the beautiful stamped frame

And what about all this beauty? I could not believe my eyes when opening the little packages for all those lovely laces and fabolous braids-and MOP buttons-do you love MOP-buttons :) I dooo.

Thanks my friend- you made me very happy.

This collage is a little sampling of some of the gifts and cards I have made friends myself

they will hopefully be in the post today.....I`m late this year because of so very many shows, that thankfully were all much better than I had expected :)

Dear sweet friends -I wish you happy christmas preparations, all.

Hugs and love

A wonderful show on the Christmas ship : "Poul Anker"

I`m tired but happy home again , from the show on board the Christmas Ship.

Many dolls and other creations got new homes, and I could smile after 50 hours on board.

I have found a few photoes to show you what my booth looked like!

We have to bring all needed to the display, so we had big table plates, and big branches with us as we went onboard friday afternoon.

Here is the most of the table, showing angels of many kinds, also hanging from the roof-many of them luckily

flying off to new homes :)

And here they are again, the father christmasses-

with the heads of 3 sweet angels

One of my homemade cards, using June`s  ( Dezinaworld ) white sheet.

Home for some of my woolen elves

Fairie angels, and doily angels

More christmas elves

And the last photo shows, the window sill in my computer room- just now, with little handmade trees-

an old church, and other mini creations-this is almost the only place I have decorated a bit- but now things slow down a bit- so hopefully there will be more items to show from my home very soon.

Thankyou to all of you dear friends, whom have been thinking about me, and have been sending :"good luck" notes to me ,last week- They were dearly apreciated and they helped me have a wonderful week-end.

I hope you know how much I treasure you all !

Many hugs and much love to you all.
