A Gift From Lisa~

How Blessed I am to be here in this wonderful land of blog...
How Blessed I am to have such a wonderful friend~ I received the most beautiful package in the mail...it brought tears to my eyes, actually it made tears run down my face~ for a long time~ it was from our sweet Lisa ~Tarnished&Tattered
Come Closer...
Look at this beautiful box,

It totally took my breath away~
Lisa is sooo very talented
with a heart the size of Texas~


Look inside this gorgeous box, the lid has the sweetest "rabbits" on it
notice the "Tin" that she put on it...I love it!
But wait!
You've got to see what she packed inside....


Treasures that will make any artist go weak in the knees!
Look at these gorgeous things!!!



Have you ever seen a cuff so beautiful or a baby bonnet was delicate...
and look at the vintage purse...all in my favorite shades of cream & white~





Lisa also tucked in some of the prettiest flowers...love the soft color!


She also included some of her ADORABLE resin pieces...
these are so cute...
I can't wait to use them in my art!


Everything was packaged so pretty
and covered with white buttons~


Lisa,
I will cherish this box forever...it means the world to me,
YOU are my inspiration!!!!

  21. Ann, I do believe that Lisa is one of those rare gems. She can make everyone feel so special. This box of yumminess is such a treasure. You two are such talented artists and I feel so inspired by both of you. I secretly covet your talent (okay, not so secret now) and wish that some of it could rub off on me.hehe
    Thank you for the dear messages you leave to encourage me. They make my day.

  24. My sweet Ann,
    I am so happy that you love your box of treasures! I had such fun putting it together for you. The sheet music I used was perfect to me because you ARE my inspiration. Whenever I'm blocked I go to your flickr page & I just spend countless minutes ohhing & ahhing over it all. You are such a talent & I can't wait to meet you in Sept. & spend some time together. Maybe a little of your talent will rub off on me! Your friend forever, Lisa

  27. God is very busy with the blogs. What blessings to bring people together, to be apart of the community. Your own giving comes full circle, and makes a difference. How perfect, as you "have inspired" many with your talent. Including me. Such a wonderful gift.
    Enjoy!

  32. Dear Ann - Marcie at The Rustic Victorian said it best. Our blogs DO bring us all together in a supportive, encouraging Christian community that blesses each and every one of us. And for Lisa to touch your heart and make your day special by sending you that beautiful box, was just another way of passing on her blessings.

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment! It blesses me to know there is someone else out there that I can encourage and support...you!

  36. That Lisa is amazing. I am so lucky to have her close. But, we don't see each other as much as we would like (busy summer with kiddo's home) but, hope that is better once kids go back to school. She has an amazing talent & she can put things together with such beautiful results. ENJOY each thing because I KNOW she made it special just for you. Charlene
