One of my absolute favorite things to do is give gifts. I love finding or making something that I know will be absolutely perfect for the recipient. It makes me so happy to see the smiles when they open it.
Well, today my smile could be seen across the miles. I arrived home to a mysterious pizza box in the mail. I saw the return address of my card-making sister from across the miles (aka Lauren) and grabbed my scissors to start opening it immediately. I knew it would be awesome ... but I had no idea how awesome. It left me speechless (which says a lot).
First was this amazing card ... the sentiment (which is partially covered by the butterfly) says "Friends are relatives you make for yourself." ... how very true. You can see more details about how Lauren channeled her inner Martha to make this amazing creation. It's impossible to capture how beautiful this is with a picture.
I often admire the interesting and quirky elements that Lauren uses in her creations. She graciously gifted me with an entire box of "bits and bobs" for me to play with. I'm more excited than a kid in a candy store ... heck, I'm more excited than me in a candy store.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
awwwwwwwww! ta v much for all those compliments! i hope my big giant head won't get stuck in a doorway or anything now!
you are MOST welcome, i am glad you are enjoying your "treasures"! but tell the truth: when you saw that card the other day...you had to KNOW where it was headed right?! :)
