Found in my Mailbox!
It's been a very busy month for my postman, and I am very blessed to have received a wonderful assortment of goodies. Do you remember my Zetti Kitty postcard and the vibrant, red tea-themed envelope? Both of those pieces were mailed to my partners, and I received these two awesome pieces in return. A very special "Thank You!" to my swap partners. You brightened my day with color and creativity!

Thank You, Jean!

Roving
A while ago, my amazingly talented friend Jean at
Bluebirds Living in the Meadow posted a video tutorial on making the most adorable flowers embellished with felted and beaded centers. I was absolutely enchanted. You can see Jean's excellent tutorial if you click

More Goodies!
Imagine my delight when I received a package stuffed to the brim with everything I need to make my own flowers - silky roving as soft as a thistle in all of the colors of the rainbow, a fabulous assortment of glittery beads and sequins and even some flower bases. But that wasn't all . . .
An ATC Too!
Jean also sent this gorgeous ATC with a hand sewn transparency! Stunning! Thank you, Sweet Jean, for your kindness and generosity. I am absolutely thrilled and delighted with all of your goodies and thoughtfulness.

Thank You, Patty!
An Unexpected Pleasure!
When my husband came in with the mail and dropped a package on my desk from my very creative friend, Patty at
Magpie's Nest, I was thoroughly surprised. What could it be, I wondered!
Perfection!
I didn't have to wait very long to see Patty's gorgeous handmade heart, embellished with one of her handmade nests and filled with sweet, scented lavender. Thank you, Sweet Patty, for your wonderful gift. What a treasure! As I held it in my hand and felt your love, I admired every little detail in wonder. But that isn't all!
Hand Sewn Flowers
Patty enclosed a sweet little package of her lovely handmade flowers. (Notice that one has a felted, beaded center. Looks as though Jean has influenced a few of us this spring!) Two flowers are made of organdy ribbon with stitches so tiny and exquisite, a Fairy Queen would be proud to wear them. And then there was one more surprise tucked inside . . . .
Zentangled Note
Last but not least I found Patty's terrific Zentangled note. Her Zentangles are magnificent! Patty, My Beautiful Friend, thank you, thank you. You've touched my heart with your kindness and generosity of spirit. You can visit Patty by clicking here.
My heartfelt and humble "thanks", Dear Friends, for your generosity, thoughtfulness and love. I am thrilled beyond measure with your lovely art, gifts and sentiments. Most of all, I am very blessed and grateful for your friendship.
