Oh My Gosh !!!!

Several weeks ago Carolyn had a give away on her blog and I was lucky (and I really mean that) enough to be the winner.
Well yesterday when I went to the PO box there was this big parcel waiting for me--it wouldn't fit in our normal PO Box so they left a key in it so I could go to another box and open it to get my parcel out.
I was dumbfounded when I saw this package inside the box.
I wondered what on earth could be inside.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

3 big packages filled to the brim with the most wonderful treasures I have ever seen.

This one was full of Autumn tones--fabric-- papers--fibres--beads--ribbons--embellishments--all there waiting for me to caress.

Then there was this purple one--yummy purple of every shade-tone or whatever it is called.

Again-fabric-papers-threads-ribbons-beads-ephemera-oh the joy----

Some hand painted papers-(sorry about the photo but you can get the idea of what it is like)---

Another purple packet-----this one had purple wire in it and silk cocoons and some gorgeous purple flowers with glitter (in the bottom right hand corner)

Now when I won the give away I thought that I was winning this gorgeous little heart.

I ask you --Am I the most lucky girl to have won this wonderful-amazing prize.
Eat your heart out Janet B--all this purple stuff-----

I bet Australia Post didn't see this little beauty tucked away inside.

Christmas sure has come early at my place.

Thank you so much Carolyn you are indeed a most generous person and I will treasure every little item in this wonderful gift.

I won again

Well I really am on a roll ---I have won another giveaway.
This time it is a wonderful piece of Marylin Huskamp's work and it is in one of my favourite colours--lime green.
The flowers in the centre were hand painted by Marylin and even though you can't see it there are lots of sparkles on the lime green fabric.
The lovely ribbons at the top are to hang it on the wall.



She also included this lovely fabric covered notebook (and some buttons and glitter that I did not take a picture of.)

Thanks Marylin the hanging looks right at home in my craft room.
