Gift from Yiyi

I have a crafty cousin who once in a while suprises me with her handmade beauties.  And this one is no exception.  Look at this beautiful handmade from a cereal box creation.  Isn't it beautiful?  Yes,  And wait, that's not all Yiyi surprised me with.  As you look at the other pictures below you'll see other goodies that came inside the box.  A mini, tiny box with beautiful vintage cabuchon buttons.  Some handmade flowers.  The girl is very talented I would say.  I also posted a couple of pages of the mini.  Oh!  Don't forget to check out the inside of the box.  It's gorgeous.  Gracias Prima querida.  Besos y muchos abrazos.  Thank you Yiyi. xoxoxo

Gift from Staci Pan

My dear friend Staci Pan is a lovely Chinese girl who always shares her goodies with me and this past Christmas was no exception.  Yes, Staci and her husband visited family in China and didn't come home empty handed.  Staci came back with the BEST Chinese Green Tea I've ever drank.  Hummmmm Hummmm.  She also bought me a beautiful card that literally has my name on it. LOL  Look below and you'll see.  

This card says Maliya (Maria) in Chinese.  Isn't that so special.  Yes,  it's very special and that's how dear Staci made me feel with these wonderful thoughtful gifts that I enjoy immensely.   Thank You so much Staci.  xoxoxoxo big hug for you.

Christmas Gift from my Friend Maggie

Maggie always creates special goodies for me and this beautiful box and mini is no exception.   I've posted a couple of the pages from the mini so you can enjoy.   Thanks Maggie

Here's the mini album. The lady in the cover is Maggie.  She wants to make sure I don't forget that I owe her a couple of creations myself.  LOL... Just kidding, No I'm not!  I do owe her a couple of projects.  The picture is someone elso who just wanted to be part of Maggie's project.   

This is one of the pages that connects with the other.  Isn't it lovely.  I look at them alot.  Very soothing.
