One such person is Joanna who lives in New York.
To think that I would become friends with Joanna who is younger than my daughter is truly amazing but I have and I am so pleased that she has come into my life even if it is via the internet.
Joanna and I are participating in a card swap each month and it is great to see how we can come up with different ideas each time.
Well today I received my parcel from Joanna with her cards and an abundance of gifts as well.
The first is a tag that I admired on her blog several weeks ago -she does these amazing paper tole designs and these fairies are so small it is incredible.
Next is a card that has fabric flowers on it done in the same technique as she does her paper tole i.e.parts of the flowers are layered on top of each other-so beautiful.
This card has a background using the shaving cream technique and has a stamped fairy which has been coloured in with watercolours-I think.
and the third one also has a fairy on a background which I think is either fabric or suede paper again very beautiful.
Also in the package were these fabrics -L/R they are a hand dyed fabric -fairy fabric-fabric with writing on it that I won and another piece with fairies on it about the size of ATC's.
And then there was this sheet of Acetate fairies-

A gift for Ebony-
And lastly for me a lovely pair of pink fluffy socks that match my pyjamas and are soooo warm and comfy just right for our cold Canberra winters.

You are lucky. The things are wonderful. Sandy
Doreen, I'm so happy you like everything! Thank you for the kind words. The fairy with shaving cream was done in inks and also the paper 3-D fairy was backed with some hand dyed silks. I'm really like mixing paper and fabric. I look forward to see ing your package. And, I'm glad your socks match your pajamas!
I'm so happy to have met you as well!
