A NEW HEAD PIECE FOR MY ELLA.

 

This is the beautiful crown I received last year in a Christmas crown swap with Francie from THE SCENTED COTTAGE, make sure to peek into her blog, she is so talented! I know is suppose to be a Christmas crown, but I think is beautiful year round and so enjoy just looking at it. She did an amazing job and  I love it so.

 

 

Well now my Ella gets a crown change for a bit. All the  flowers in the crown are hand made from resin, she shaped and molded every single petal. The crown was made by my sweet friend LORISA. Lorisa is working on making more You Tube videos and I can't wait. Her profession is a retired fashion designer  right from the New York fashion district. Can you just imagine all the beautiful creations she has seen . I can't wait to see more of her work.
 

Beautiful goodies from my sweet and generous friend Lorisa.

 

 

These are just a few of the pieces that were sent to me by my friend Lorisa. She had said that she was putting a box of goodies together for me and OMG. This box was huge, it took me an hour to unpack it, she did such a great job with the packing. All the pieces got to me in perfect condition and all I can say is that she made me very happy. Take a look!

 

This gorgeous hand made head piece she made for my Ella. This is truly a piece of art. All the flowers are hand made, petal by petal and then she wired and mold them into this elegant head band piece. I did a little photo shoot of my Ella all dressed in her beautiful head piece, show you latter.

She also sent me some gorgeous single stem hand made Roses and other flowers. I'm so excited about  that because I plan on using them in a project that I can't wait to get started on.

These two beautiful pieces are probably my favorite. The white egg can hold a candle inside, it's so pretty. The little bunny is so darn cute. I do have these pieces out, because I want to enjoy them for a  little bit before I put them away for Easter. Love them.  THANK YOU Lorisa, I'm so blessed by your friendship and kindness.

LONG OVERDUE POST.

 

 

This is the beautiful egg carton I received from my swap partner Ms. Ana. I love it!. Just look at all this yumminess.

 

 

Special gifts from some very special ladies.

This so beautiful ATC I received from Kimberly.

 

                             This shabbylicious card was made by my You Tube friend Laura.

                These gorgeous laces belong to my friend Lorisa. I did a You Tube vid on them.

Lorisa is  fashion designer by trade, she made this amazing bouquet for me. The flowers are all hand made from  a resin paste. I will treasure this always, it's so beautiful. I have it displayed on top of some vintage suitcases in my living room and it looks like it belongs there.

ALTERED EGG CARTON SWAP.

 

I altered this egg carton for Ms. Ana, we decided to do a one on one swap. She made one last year for herself and it was so darn cute, the prettiest little thing I ever saw.

This is what I cam up with for her, she's a shabby pink girl so I went with it. I've already given it to her and I'm so happy she liked it. I'm sure it looks beautiful pink scraproom.

I'm meeting up with her this week and I will get mine then, can't wait to show you, I'm sure it's going to be so pretty.
