A MOST BEAUTIFUL, AND LOVELY BIRTHDAYGIFT !

Last friday I recieved a package from a very dear friend Terri of    Artful Affirmation!

Ofcourse I knew it was not to be opened untill my birthday,coming next week,-but 

on that friday I had to go to hospital for some test results,and as I was very nervous, I felt

that it was meant to be, that Terri`s gift arrived just that morning, and I told myself, it was

ok to open it up, for me to be comforted!

Inside was first this wonderfully beautiful card ,with Mother Mary  looking at me with her 

calming glance.

The other lovely wrapped gift revealed the most adorable and beautiful banner, also with

the same Mother Mary image , so romantic in style, and a little shabby, too.

Beautiful, old laces and ribbons, and the word :Joyful with

shabby roses .

Here is the first piece in the banner in close up, isen`t it gorgeous!! See the tiny

pink ladybug, the flowers of all kind, and wonderful seam bindings.

The third "flag" shows  the  Immaculate Heart of Mary, lovely

pink ribbon on top, and the pink beautiful flower.

You can see it here close up!!

Fourth "flag"  :the word  : Heart, tells us about one of the most importent things in life ,

Having our hearts with us, in all we do, and Terri made this amazingly beautiful piece

from her heart, I know.

This is the last "flag" with beautiful and fantastic old and new  laces ,

buttons, and another cute ladybug . So delightful and a stunning piece all together.

Thank you my dear Terri, your gift warmed my heart and gave me a feeling of ease.

And as many of you knows, everything turned out fine, all tests were as should be, and

I am not to have more tests , for which I`m so grateful.

The beautiful banner now hangs in my window,sending me greetings everyday, from dear Terri, and 

telling me to feel joy and have a happy heart for the everyday`s  little miracles and experiences.

Thank you dearest friend, your gift not only helped me that friday, but it is a daily joy

to see it and know you made it just for me, for which I`m also so very grateful.

**********************

It is friday evening here in Denmark, a little rainy but we need that for the garden,

so I`m not complaining, as all is so very dry here.

Maybe tomorrow will be a sunny day, I hope it will ,-for all of you

my dear readers and followers.

I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Hugs and love,

Dorthe

SUMMER IS HERE ,WITH HAPPINESS AND JOY

Hello dears, I thought I would show you a collage I made

back in february .

I used many different componets, but mostly paper, paper napkins and lace.

I stamped the beautiful image, and painted it after with watercolours,

and  Soft Pastels.

I think the woman so beautifully brings summer and joy.

Also this little chap is a bringer of joy ,whenever it sings to us!!

Most joyfull was also yesterday ,when I was told I do not have to come back

to the hospital for more tests or treatments.

I`m so gratefull.

Isen`t this beautiful, it truly looks like the softest pink velvet  ,

and it smells divine.

********************

I so hope you all ,also feels the joy and happiness in your lives,

and wishes you a wonderful weekend , doing things you love

and enjoy !!

Thank you to new followers, you are so very welcome.

Hugs and love

Dorthe
