DIGITAL FREEBIE IMAGE......

I am sharing this digital collage with you to enjoy!  If you have a little girl who loves paper dolls and anything girly then these will go down a treat.  Imagine a string of pretty bunting flags in her bedroom draped across a window!  Have fun coming up with creative ways to use this image.

This second image is a set of gift tags that can be used in many ways.  Print off a number of these and play a game of SNAP with  your little girl or grandchild.  Above all have fun!

BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM A WONDERFUL LADY......

I have been so blessed since I began this blog and I have had the pleasure of getting to know some wonderful artists and bloggers.  This time I was lucky enough to get to know the wonderful PAT WINTER a very taltented crazy quilter!

The stunning bag that you see in these photographs arrived at my home on Saturday as a gift from Pat.  How can I possibly put into words how beautiful her gift to me is and how much I appreciate it.  The bag is so exquisite and full of beautiful details.  I have tried to show some of them with the following photo's......

The photographs do not do justice to this bag and how much more beautiful it is in person.  I have now been blessed twice from my new blogging friends and I am in awe of their  generosity.  PAT WINTERS and CELESTINA MARIE are truly generous of heart and spirit!

This beautiful bag is now on pround display in my home, it is  like a piece of art.  I hope to use it when I go out to somewhere very special.

Thank you so much Pat for your wonderful gift to me, I will treasure it always and remember your generous heart!

PRETTY PAPERS......

I have been really busy this week working away in Photoshop putting together new designs for my Etsy store YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA.  One thing I wanted to create was more pretty florals and papers so that was the starting point for this new collection called PRETTY PAPERS.

These designs were inspired by vintage wallpaper from the 1930s and 1940s, enjoy!

A GIFT FROM THE HEART......



Today I received a wonderful gift from a new friend that I met through blogging.  Sometimes life has it's ups and sometimes it's downs.  Today is truly an up for me!




CELESTINA of CELESTINA MARIE DESIGNS sent to me as a gift this beautiful painted vintage teaspoon.  The detail has to be seen to be believed, there is a sweet little birds nest nestled in the curve of the spoon with three little eggs waiting for mommy bird to come home.  The best pale pink shabby chic roses have also been delicately painted onto this fabulous spoon!




This wonderful gift will now be treasured by me and travel where ever I may roam.  I am honestly humbled by Celeste's generosity and encourage you to seek out her Etsy store which you can find by clicking HERE.

DID ANYONE SAY DOG......

This postcard is a favorite from my personal collection and  the dogs face is priceless.  I believe the dog is a poodle but it could be something else entirely.  To me the dog has a look of "Okay enough, can I go now" and the little girl is so sweet.
