Cards and gifts

When I first started blogging I never imagined that I would make such good friends that I have-and such generous ones as well.
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-

And some embellishments-

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.

Joanna what can I say except you are the most generous person I have ever had the pleasure to have known.

Thank You --thank you--thank you.
