THE BEAUTIFUL BOOK THAT I RECEIVED


I won Janet's 200th blog post giveaway, her blog is Shabbyfufu. I was so surprised, I usually don't win anything, but I think my luck is changing. It is a signed copy of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Interiors. The book is gorgeous. Thank you so much Janet and thank you for the beautiful tags and note card, they are beautiful too. Janet also has a beautiful shop with such lovelies. Take a look http://shabbyfufu.blogspot.com/. She is also having another giveaway.

MY VALENTINE NECKLACE AND BRACELET I MADE



We had a Valentine Heart charm swap in our Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group, that was hosted by Melanie. We first picked the metal color and then we swapped heart charms. This is the necklace and bracelet that I made from the charms that I received. I want to thank all the lovely ladies who joined the group, Melanie, Kim, Robin, Heather and Terri Heinz. I had a vintage crystal necklace that I used for the beads. It was a great swap. Thank you ladies, I love my necklace and bracelet.

VALENTINE WREATH I JUST FINISHED





A member of the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group Heidi Wallingford did a class for this wreath. I so wished I lived near her. I emailed her and asked if she was going to offer a kit for this beautiful wreath. When she did I purchased it from her Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/birdsofafeather, she also has a wonderful blog http://hkwdesign.blogspot.com/. Well the wreath came this week and I could hardly wait to get started. It was really a lot of fun to make. I love hearts, so I really enjoyed this kit. I thought I would share my wreath with you.

I AM SUCH A LUCKY LADY




As part of the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group, we just had two wonderful swaps, one was a soldered pendant and the other was a rose bib necklace. I received mine and feel like a queen. I was lucky enough to receive mine from two of my favorite artists. I thought I would share with you what I received. The first one is from Deborah, she is such a talented artist, check out her blog http://www.bearhavenbears.blogspot.com/ and she has an Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/landofnodstudios. Her work is just amazing. The second necklace that I received is from Robin, I have always loved her art and this was the first time I received her art in a swap. I love the colors and all the details she used. Her work is always beautiful. She has just started a blog http://onceuponapinkmoon.blogspot.com/ and she also has an Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/ltlblonde. I love both of my necklaces so much and will treasure them. Thank you Deborah and Robin, you both have made me so happy.
