I receive an amazing package\u00a0over the weekend. \u00a0I was so excited when I saw it on my doorstep, but I was utterly stunned when I opened it.<\/p>\n

You see, Julia over at Stamping Ground <\/a>has been hosting What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday for the past two years.\u00a0 To celebrate the second anniversary, since nobody appreciates handcrafts like another handcrafter, many of us participated in a PIF.<\/p>\n

My package came from Sam over at hettiecraftcz.blogspot.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Oh my, she just went above and beyond. Everything is so lovely!<\/p>\n

I was thrilled and amazed at all the work she’d went to when I opened the package and found the album. It is gorgeous and as I’m a scrapbooker, you can be assured it will be put to good use.<\/p>\n

\"green<\/a><\/p>\n

But then I opened it and, wait, there’s more! Inside the album was another wrapped package, this time a canvas with flowers, a sparkle-arkily fairy dress and a butterfly.\u00a0 It. Is. Beautiful.\u00a0I LOVE it! It’s already hanging right next to my computer monitor so I will be sure to often think of my new friend from Wales.<\/p>\n

\"fairy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"fairy<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I peeked into the envelope and there was still a card waiting to open. It’s terrific, love those flowers and the scalloped edges.<\/p>\n

\"black<\/a><\/p>\n

I just hope the gal who gets the package I sent along will be just as happy as I am!<\/p>\n

Happy, happy crafting, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
