Gifts for a Secret Friend

Wow...what fun I had making these items for a secret friend in one of the exchanges I'm in. I did some research and found out that her favorite colors are pink and black so I stuck with that theme on all of the altered projects. The lunch box is filled with all kinds of goodies for her and the small tin which is altered, I made a bracelet for her with her favorites pink and black.

Nope Didn't Run Off To Join The Circus

It seems like one week runs into the next and I never get to post, but I have been stamping my little heart out.

Away From Blogger World --Walt Disney World Bound

My family and I are taking a much needed vacation leaving tomorrow (Friday, April 27) and returning late Sunday, May 6. It's off to Walt Disney World where dreams, magic and memories are made. My parents are going with us as well and it's the first time they've been there since I was 11 years old (25 years ago) so alot has changed since they've seen it. Will look forward to looking at everyone's creations when I get back from my trip.

BRIGHT, SPRINGY GIFT & FUN TO MAKE

This weekend I'm going on my first scrappin retreat and I can't hardly wait. I hear you have a blast, along with getting overdue scrappin done. I created these mini notebooks w/ cordinating pen paper. I found the little pails (which I added the pink gingham ribbon to the handles to match the pens and notebooks) at Target ($1 section of course). I'm going to place the notebooks, pen and spring wrapper colored chocolates (reese cups, hershey kisses, you get the idea) in the pails at the table I'll be at with my roommates who invited me to go and invited me to share the room with them. This was a fun project and I had a blast this morning putting it together. And now to assemble the finished project to add the yummies (chocolate) to it, get the rest of my scrappin things together and pack a few clothes.............and I'm off tomorrow.

COOL STUFF FOR ME!!!

When the package arrived for me I could have kissed my mailman. I was so happy to see my cool new items I won from Dianne Kersteter's blog...I won CANDY and it's yummy. Check it all out I just keep playing with my new cool stuff....I guess I've touched it enough that now I should do something constructive with it. Dianne also sent me this beautiful card which I have sitting on my desk...that was a nice surprise.

Check out Dianne's blog when you get a minute....great work and fun to look at!!
