Some Heartfelt Thanks

I have been receiving the most wonderful art

back from all those swaps I've been participating in.

In the order I have received them.

From Linda at  

 Altered Visions Fiber

This wonderfully Witchy altered cabinet card

Chills & Thrills.

Isn't it cool!

Not a swap, just Evelyn from

 Beyond Just Black and White

being a kind and generous friend. Isn't that tag cool! Love the lightbulb embellishment

and her collage background. You'll be seeing that die used a lot very soon.

 Thanks so much Evelyn!

A swap from Kindred Art Souls.

This wonderful Altered tin was made by Michael Farrell

(sorry I don't have a blog link)

Check out these glass feet and vintage pen nibs

Here's the inside of the tin. The umbrella man is on a spring

and wiggles when I open it.

I was invited to do a Friendship flag swap with Meri at

Imagimeris

She made me this darling clown that moves when you pull the strings.

How cute is that!

But that's not all.....

Hold on to your hats because she also sent me some of

 her AMAZING fabric art.

This fabric card and tag all with a bird theme .

Isn't it just beautiful!

When I opened the next package I about fell on the floor!!

She sent me this incredible fabric book all about birds.

page after page of beautiful quotes and lace

buttons and trims

stunning images

I think this is my favorite ,

she fashioned a cage from wire around the bird

more beautiful pages.

are you drooling yet?

then the back cover. I'm still in AWE of its beauty.

I can't thank Meri enough for the gorgeous and most generous gift.

I will treasure it forever!

I just received this Wonderful package from my dear friend Jo at

 My Paper Playhouse .

Who sent all these treats for my upcoming Birthday.

She made that cool altered birdhouse in a Halloween theme.

and the darling burlap gift bag held more treats. Some

wire mesh, several yards of ball chain a doll head and

how cool is that wooden hand!

I LOVE it all. Thank you Jo
