A May Day Tussie Mussie Swap

I am so excited to share with you the beautiful package that arrived in my mail yesterday from my wonderful partner Lynn over at Her Creative Spirit. I am sure many of you know her but here is her link if you do not, be sure to go and visit, you won't be sorry. http://hercreativespirit.blogspot.com/ I met Lynn a few years ago through blogging, she is so darned sweet and such a talent.

While blog hoppig I noticed tons of posts around a Valentine's Day swap and finally went to see where this was happening, that is when I found Linda's awesome blog A Swap for All Seasons. Of course I was too late for the Valentine's Day swap but there is always a new one coming along. Here is the link for the  blog.

and I emailed to join immediately. I waited a few weeks or more to find out who my partner was and I was over the moon when I found out it was Lynn. What are the chances that I would end up with someone I know and who's art I love and admire. We both live in Canada so maybe that is how this all came about, not sure, don't know, but wait until you see what landed in my mail. I am so excited to share with you.

look at this gorgeous tussie with all it's vintage beauty.

this beautiful linen wrapped gift was over-flowing with beautiful bits & bobs!

hmmm...guess what was in this beautiful package?

How much do I love these beauties, so precious.

Yep!!! You guessed it, this was wrapped in the linen, look at all these treasures.

Can you believe the beauty of these fab paper beads that she made, a little hand in the bottom of the box saying hand made. So special. They are really gorgeous in person.

A beautifully wrapped box of these beauties. YUM!!!

Check out this gorgeous nest charm that she made for me, it is so beautiful! And that cute little embellishment saying created for you, sweet!

Isn't this beautiful eye candy?

Can you even believe how gorgeous everything is. I love each and every little bit & bob. That is one of the most gorgeous tussie mussie's I have ever seen, oh it is so vintage and so pretty. What about the beautiful nest charm, so pretty. I am exhausted going from one pretty to the next, over and over and over. I can't help it, just can't stop looking.

Thank you my sweet friend for being such a beautiful person and the best swap partner ever!

Lynn's parcel hasn't arrived yet, fingers crossed it will arrive today so I can only share a peek of what I sent off to her and will share more when I know her parcel arrived. This was a great swap, looking forward to the next one. Thanks also to Linda for hosting our little party!

Here is my sneak peek of what I made for Lynn. More later.
