Wow! It's like my "UNbirthday, or something!" Yesterday, I got the lovelies from Ann in Scotland and today I came home from Joyworks (thank GOD, so good to be back at work and finally FEELING better/human!!) And, I found a wonderful surprise! Again, I'd forgotten about it,,,,Menopause is SO fun, you forget things, like titles, names dates, but then again, you can forget fun things and then it comes as a total surprise! But enough about my hormones! Or "The Homonies."
LOOK at all the WONDERFUL THINGS ELIZABETH SENT ME!!!!!!!!!!!

I inadvertently became the 300th follower after visiting Elizabeth Golden's wonderful Blog! She emailed me a while back and said that she was compiling some things for me and BOY she wasn't kidding!!!! I got a package today from her and was blown away! Birthday or Christmas in April.
Elizabeth has the most beautiful blog, Truly! http://thelastdoordownthehall.blogspot.com/with gorgeous photos, crafting projects AND some really lovely FREE graphics to download! She also has a great list of other great free graphic downloads sites in her sidebar to check out! Recipes, crafting techniques,,,,,,just a really FULL and delightful blog! I think her Header caught my attention first, I just LOVE pictures of doors.....the mystery of what is hidden behind,,,,the stories of inhabitants....
Here are more of the fantastic things Elizabeth sent to me, besides the fun "Muse" above.Which I truly, truly LOVE!!! (I'm redoing my blog soon and may just need to have Karen (of My Desert Cottage) incorporate this fantastic little lady!) How Fun!
This wonderful journal, (left), Elizabeth handmade, --Lovely textures and colors!
I love it!
This lovely book on Fabric memory books (I've been thinking about making and marketing journals JUST for lefties! Some of those thick spines on the lefthand side are just not convienent for us Lefties! If anyone else starts producing them,,,,remember YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!! "Journals for Lefties!"
Although the handmade journal Elizabeth sent me will work just fine.......No thick spine!
And the "itty bitty journal for my purse? You can't see, but it comes complete with a pen! Too cute!
Wonderful, wonderful graphics on this assorment of napkins, which I love and use regularly in crafting!
