Friendship Swap~ Sandra

I received the most beautiful package in the mail from my swap partner and friend~Sandra. Sandra does not have a blog but can be found on Flickr..."SKBlanks" ...She has to be one of the nicest people on there! Well, I received my package from her and.. oh my, it was as sweet as she is!
Everything was sooo gorgeous! The package itself ~ amazing...I didn't want to open it but couldn't wait to either! (I did save the wrapping) First, look at this absolutely gorgeous cuff.

Just beautiful... the lace, the stitching~ everything impeccable! Handmade flower~love! I wear it all the time...


Now, look at this.....Is this not the most beautiful heart you've ever seen??? All handmade...


Look at the details, I wish you could see it in person! So pretty! See her pretty ribbon flowers?She makes those from ribbon...just lovely!


Now, just when you think there cannot be anything else... Look at this!
This was one of the first things I saw that Sandra had made...I fell in love with it! Now, I have one of my very own..Don't you love it too?

Soft~ sweet colors,and again...the details! Love this ribbon and lace....

Sandra tucked in lots of other pretties, beautiful ephemera~cards and the sweetest old book of poems, many of her ribbon flowers



and one of her tiny~tiny little covered boxes in this precious little dish...
too cute!


Sandra, I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful swap! I will cherish each and everything forever! Love Ya!
Thank you all for visiting on this day, God Bless You All! Next week, I'll show you more pictures of my swaps..... Have a Great Week~

Her style is so much like yours..I will have to find her on flickr now too :) I still have to figure out how it works and saving favorites and pictures and adding notes...maybe by next year :) I am so glad that you loved the new look of my blog! I smile everytime I realize that it is MY blog I am looking at :) I know...goober right lol I am wondering how I missed some of your posts here :( I didn't see you had updates on my blog roll, but that is happening with quite a few as I am finding out, maybe I am doing something wrong...wow, wouldn't that be a surprise :) Have a beautiful week amor :) Besos, Rose
