Reveal Day!! It's Finally here!! My Sorority Sister Swap Partner is Dee Dee Johnson from DeeDees Craftspot. Ooooh and did I receive a charming decorated Cigar Box, just full of useful and fun goodies.
As you can see below, Lace wrapped in Curlers, what a neet idea, Acorn bells, Beaded Rings, Fall Ribbons, Spooky Halloween Tags, A lovely Bar of Olive Oil Soap, Glittered Pumpkin, a very nice thick Heart shaped Hot Pad, Sheet Music, a Set of Orange Votives, I used one last night in my studio and it smelled sooo good. A Darling Soddered Charm with the Word "Friend" inside, that will go in a special place. Thank~You so much Dee Dee for putting this Cherished Box together for me!! I had so much fun finding things for you, and I can tell you had just as much fun!!

Dreamy Pink Santas Give ~Away


I am just a Lover of Pink Santa Claus's, and been since I was a little girl. My Great Aunt had one out every year at Christmas that I just adored. I inherited hers, but since then I have seen them in Antique stores from time to time. I have often thought about buying another for a matching set.

But for Now, Rebecca from A Gathering of Thoughts is having a Beautiful Give~Away of some of her Pink Santa Greeting Cards and Gift Tags. I just think these are Beautiful and had to share them with you too!! If you would like to enter as well please hop over to her blog here.

Good Luck Friends & have a Wonderful Week!!!

Paper Dreams

Dear Friends,

I have been so busy, and have clearly neglected my blog in the past couple weeks. So, I thought I would post something fun that happened during the Summer.

It was a very hot summer here in MI, and their were times in the morning I just wasn't too excited with the heat and all, to do my normal primping routine. This day was one of them~

I was working steadily along in my Studio when the Dogs started Barking, I could see from my window nothing was happening at the back of the house, so I ventured to the front.


Surprise, Surprise to find this very Hansom German Gentleman at my front door. It was none other than Andreas, President of Paper Dreams Factory. Andreas and his Daughter from Germany were touring the United States in their Custom Made Motor Home/Office. They were making stops and meeting all their Customers, and showing the New Line of Foils and Dresdens. Andreas was also having his customers sign the Outside of the Vehicle. He thinks it will be full by the time he returns to Rhode Island where their Corporate office is.



It was such a treat Andreas to meet you and your lovely Daughter!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!
