The kindness of friends ~

When I opened my mailbox Monday I found a wonderful package inside and I knew immediately who it was from!! Laurie at Charming Designs ~ her boxes are always lovely. Just look at what this dear friend sent me . . .


She gifted me one of her mini easels with a beautiful mini painted rose canvas!!!! Look at the wonderful nest too! Laurie I just have to tell you, you MADE my day!!! This is the most precious artwork ever... Thank you sooo very much for this beautiful gift and for your kind wishes for our first grandchild ~ I love it Laurie...




A few new magazines from this weekend ~ good, good stuff inside.




I finished photographing one of the new tutorials Monday evening...it's for this sweet snowman!! I still have to finish compiling the tutorial into a document but hopefully I'll get it in the store tomorrow! These are so simple to make and would make the best gifts ~


Wishing you a great Tuesday sweet friends ~
xxoo, Dawn

What a lovely little gift ... the first of many "pink inspired" as you await your granddaughters arrival I'm sure :-)
I collect Snowmen, so I love your sparkly creation!

Dawn....Laurie's gift is totally charming! She picked the right name for her business, didn't she!

Love your little snowman. So sparkly.
And the magazines...some of the best, aren't they! Aren't you glad they brought Victoria back!

I spent last evening cutting pictures out of old issues of different magazines to paste in my inspiration scrapbooks. Some magazines NEVER get cut up - Somersets for example!

A happy day to you, always,
Diane
