Beautiful gifts

Where does the time go? I seem to be running way behind again, must be the time of the year with Holiday prep, working and a few special projects in the works time has just slipped by me.

But I just had to share the most wonderful gifts from my dear friend
Liz at Lululiz In lalaland

Sent me for my Birthday.

Just look at all these beautiful things!

Vintage tart tins from France. The embossing is unbelievable

Some mop buttons in a sweet hand made envelope

and a darling Frozen Charlotte doll.

Oh and its all sitting on two beautiful doilies!

Next came a package of vintage Ephemera. I believe its all French.

and one of Liz's famous tags. She sends one with all her orders on her Etsy site.

If your looking for unique vintage things from France its a must see!

You can find her site here. LaCroix Rosion

Now what on earth can this be? An old metal tin. hum?????

Holy Cow, Couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it up!

Are you drooling yet? LOL

A beautiful poem about Fairyland with the sweetest collage

with two frozen Charlotte's, gorgeous flowers, butterflies, Fairies

are just some of what makes up this mixed media necklace.

Christmas Greetings

I finally had some time to play in Tim's 12-tags-of-2012-November

and linking my tag to his challenge.

I know its not a Fall tag like Tim's.

I had to get some of my Christmas tags done so went with that venue.

I followed along with the same technique for the background

using Oxford Impressions. Season of Giving images

and used Tim's Festive Greenery die cut strip

to cut out the dies from green and blue velvet paper.

I'll be back later today to post my winners of my Blog Candy!!

Published Stampers Sampler

I received the newest issue of Stampers Sampler a few weeks

ago but waited to share my all time Favorite piece they published.

Christmas in Paris.

Something I've always dreamed of.

I can just imagine seeing the decorated shops, the lights,

It must be magical at this time of year!

Ohhhh....Someday!!!!

I created this folding card

using stamps from Oxford Impressions

Sleigh-Bells & Dress-Forms-Corsetry

I used a embossing folder to give the brick facade a real look

and covered everything with a blanket of snow.

They published three more pieces of mine.
