Look What I Got in the Mail!

Is that not a cute card? Can you believe how blessed I was to have gotten this beautiful card and look at the matching paperclips, large binder clip, notepad and clipboard below, are they not just as cute? (click on picture to see a larger image). Marcia Duncan is the talented stamper and crafter. We were both a part of a holiday secret swap with a Magnolia stamps group. (Side story here. I still don't have any Magnolia stamps because I got turned off with the company's "no-response" service. For two months I tried to get someone from there to return my emails, phone faxes... and so have not done anything with them.) But another friend of mine, Sue, let me stamp some of her Magnolia images so I could participate in this stamping swap I had already committed to doing. Thanks Sue!! Anyhow, got a little off course there, sorry haha! Marcia also sent me these goodies: Yep, I was totally blessed. Thanks so much again Marcia!! You've inspired me to take another look at Magnolia stamps only this time I will try Diana at Scor-Pal...she carries them now.

Secret Sister Swap Gifts

I just wanted to show you what I received in the mail this week from Julie Griffith, my secret sister/santa! I belong to a TAC stamping group and we had a sister/santa swap...never having done one before with them, I thought it would be fun to try it out. Well, as you can see by the pictures below, I was blown away by Julie's generosity and talent (well, talent, I already knew she was a very talented stamp artist!). I didn't want to open up some of the gifts because her wrapping was so pretty. She sent me lotsa hand-crafted items (the personalized notecards and the calendar with verses of scripture were some of my favorites!), some TAC products and a cd from their WHAG stamping seminar. Needless to say, I was totally BLESSED! Thanks again, Julie, for your big heart of giving!!
