Well, I think all of us in the US (at least the Midwest and East Coast) are about fed up with Winter this year. I know we have had over 55-inches here in Southwest Pennsylvania. But consider my new friend, Jan Smith, of Jan's Arty Junk. She lives in the UK where they have been having record rainfalls and flooding. Please take time to visit Jan's blog (click on her blog name above) She is a talented artist and Tim Holtz style wizard. Fab.u.lous!
Anyway, I couldn't wait to receive her package and let me just say that my pictures don't nearly show the detail of her very fine work!
Look at the spool...
Isn't that clever?
Then there is the oodles and oodles of sunny yellow craft gems...
beads, buttons, ribbon, papers, stamps, parasol...bits and bobs...
I am swooning over the Easter egg napkin. I want to try my hand at some napkin decoupage using that napkin, the details are lovely.
Jan, thank you very much for your creative gifts and for sharing them with me.
I have loved being your recipient and I hope we are partnered again soon!
As soon as I hear from Francie that she has received my package, I'll show you what I sent to her.
xoxo

Oh, Joyce, I am so tired of this winter! We just had another winter storm yesterday so everyone's home from work today. Stay warm and stay safe! Twyla
I agree, I seem to soak up any image from spring these days. Here in Minnesota the winter has been relentless--especially the cold. I'm so glad I discovered your site a few days ago. - Betsy at PaperCalliope.com
Joyce, I need to send you some of our delightful desert warmth! Its in the low 80s of course when its summer and 120 you would have to send me some of your wonderful weather!! What fun to share goodies with each other. That napkin will make a wonderful decoupage for sure :)
You received from wonderful goodies! Try and stay warm….winter isn't over yet (I'm watching the news right now and they are calling for more snow here this week)!
