I am so sorry for being among the last to thank my Valentine Swap partners for all the lovelies they sent my way. I had so many crafting ideas for this fun red and white holiday...but Life and Winter's ills kind of got in my way. I was kind of glad I only traded with three friends this time...I would hate to disappoint anyone. So...last the best of all the game?
Perfectly Printed...
Beautiful Valentine Chocolate Box.
My lovely partner was Chris of Perfectly Printed.
This swap was hosted by Erica of Golden Egg Vintage.
Chocolate Box detail...
So pretty...I told Chris I felt like a movie star getting this box.
So many fun, vintage doo-dads and crafting materials.
I don't know how she fit everything in the box...plus all these wonderful things.
But my favorite thing of all...Vintage Valentine Zetta's Aprons letters!!
These will be on my Valentine's sidebar for years to come.
Thank you, Dear Chris!
Tammy's In Love...
Tammy of Tammy's In Love is such a dear friend!
She made me this clown planter for my still-in-the-planning-stages Circus of Love!
So much cuter than Pennywise...adorable!
Tammy is so talented at card-making. I am still a relative newby...but I'm learning all sorts of techniques from my blogging friends.
These laughing little ME girls will go on my friendship banner garland!
These pictures just do not do this snowman card book justice.
Each page is a work of art.
Thank you, Miss Tammy!
Creative Breathing...
Sweet Elizabeth from Creative Breathing tells stories with her creations.
She seems to know each of her blogging friends so well...she knows what will light up their eyes.
Vintage Dutch girls...Wooden shoe just know it?
Sweet two-sided card to hang in my office year-round.
Bluebirds of Happiness...Baskets of Joy.
Detail of tiny bluebird.
A wee party bird for my Valentines Tree...next Valentines.
(Kitty Luna knocked it over too many times this year.)
Kuckucksuhr!
Have you ever heard a Cuckoo in the trees?
They sound like the woods are full of clocks.
Little Swiss and German boys...remind me of a little boy who lived in my neighborhood.
His name was Andreas. An adorable charmer...missing his two front teeth.
He was the naughtiest boy in Germany!
Thank you, Sweet Elizabeth!
A few of my pictures didn't turn out like I wanted...but I hope I did okay. I am so grateful for the little things you do to brighten my day...my words are inadequate.
