Awesome friends...

I'm sure like me, you've all met some out here. I certainly hope so anyway. There is nothing like a blog buddy, and here's proof!

Amy from Life at AJ's posted a while back about making a zippered pouch. She was commenting on how expensive zippers are and so I left her a comment about my gigantic zipper collection and offered to send her some. We decided a swap was in order, so I sent off a handful of zippers and look what she sent me! I kind of feel bad, zippers are in great supply at my house and they certainly don't measure up to all this awesome stuff!

A beautiful bracelet!


With matching keychain!


A bookmark, which I love! And she made it extra long to fit in all my thrift store craft books.


And this cute decorative clipboard. Isn't this great? I have already used this a ton - great for projects in front of the tv!


THEN, the ever generous Mary Ann sent me my Pay It Forward gift! (You have a whole year to get this done if you were a part of this fun Challenge. Of course Mary Ann is an early bird!) I am absolutely in love with this little beauty named Gretal.

She has already found a home in my kitchen - what do you think?

Mary Ann knows my fabric weakness and sent along this beauty as well! I can't wait to make myself a bag out of it! You'll see me coming with that one, won't you!?



Thanks Amy and Mary Ann!! You sure know how to make a girl's day!

The beads in the goodies from Amy are SO cute! And Greta looks so "tweet" hanging in your kitchen! (Beautiful color, by the way.) I'd hoped you'd love her:) And the fabric, well, you know. It's fabric. What else can I say?!
