Sweet Gift In the Mail

Dear Izzy of Stone Spirit had a giveaway however I didn't win the prize of a lovely necklace. But Izzy decided to give something to all who had entered, 10 in all. Well of course everyone else was in the continental US, but me.. Izzy sent it off via USPS on March 5..She was so worried it had become lost. I assured her that our canadian customs make us wait for our goodies...Finally 19 days later my suprise arrived. She had made a lovely rose-quartz bookmark. I was thrilled..The stone means love and a sense of peace and changes...At the end of the pink stones is a silver tab with LOVE stamped..So sweet of her...Perfect for me. So thank you Izzy. Go over to her site and see her wonderful natural stone creations. Now I am going to post a picture..sorry my little digi camera is very basic..so pics are little blurry...

Sweet Memories

Sorry I haven't talked to you in awhile..... I have been reading all your wonderful postings. I have been socializing with my family-Mom and Sis, friends - G. and L. Plus I have been finishing baby projects.. My son's fiance invited me to view her wedding dress...she looks so beautiful..lovely of her to invite me...





Plus, I have been working on an old wicker bassinet, that was originally bought second-hand for my birth...So I guess we can say it is old..LOL..My siblings, my 2 children and my 3 nieces have slept in it.. As you know my daughter is expecting a girl in May...So my Mom brought out the crib from her storage. I washed, lightly sanded and painted the crib. At the same time, we found a skirt that my Aunt H. made for me. The skirt is a little long as it was sewn before they bought the bed. The material is in excellent condition and hasn't yellowed.. What a lovely find..My Aunt cried when she talked about making the skirt..Sweet Memories...My DD is excitied to use it for her little girl...


Take care friends...Keep visiting..

3d Shadowbox Card

I loved taking a class from Vicki Chrisman fall 2009. She is so much fun, helpful and crafty!!! I have been obsessed with making and buying little goodies for my first grandbaby in May....When I won the shadowbox card in her giveaway, I was excited to make a card. Thanks Vicki, for giving me a chance to play with the goodies from Crafty Secrets and Accucut. My new grandbaby is a girl named Madelynn, thus the "M" on the card.
