Delightful Mail

Hi Everyone,

I want to share a few cards and this delightful box I got from my blogging friends. Apparently the post office cleaned out their storage - it all arrived at the same time



I got this wonderful succulent box from my friend Rosi from Let's take Time and stamp with Daeny's from France. WOW!!!!! It looks like real succulents! Look at all the lovely little details - the blossoms, the moss, the shiny Washi tape! This is just one delightful present. I also happen to love succulents. THANK you Rosi!


By the way - she did not stop there. Her little package also contained a matching card


and, because one card was not enough - a separate Easter card - how fun is that/! The Easter card is hand-drawn. I am always wondering why people who can draw that well need stamps... I wish I could do that!


The next package arrived from Germany from my blogging friend Gundi from Papierelle.
It contained this amazing drawing from her son Benedikt - I think he got his mothers talents (or even more?) Quite impressive, isn't it - the proportions, the expression - just super!


And again that was not enough, no he also included second card  - now how much fun is that one? Those delightful party animals paired with macaroons, yum!


And that was also in the package:
A wonderful spring card and some stamping goodies, beautiful wrapped - especially with those chocolate Ladybugs :)


Such an adorable stamp set - and the best thing is that I don't yet have it!


And again I got two cards - the other one is for Easter: 


Isn't it gorgeous? Cool idea to emboss those eggs and the feather tucked behind and the little speckled ones in front. Just so pretty! Thank you Gundi und Benedikt!

And lastly - my Christmas card from my friend Bozena  from Art Card Box arrived! Yeahhhh!!!! I saw this card on her blog and admired it greatly and offered my mailing address ;) - and guess what - she mailed it to me. But she warned me that mail from Poland might take forever and I was joking that if it does not arrive for Christmas it may arrive for Easter, LOL! I guess it was not a joke - here it is in all its beauty!


And lastly - not sure why it took so long I got this - must have been collecting dust at customs:

I won over at CAS on Sunday and this was my fabulous prize! Thank you CAS on Sunday  - I had actually totally forgotten about this and was so surprised to find this in my mailbox! It came with this gorgeous card from the uebertalented Anja Curvers from Scrapietoo.



THANK YOU ALL! You brought so much joy into my day!

What a wonderful collection, I thought that those succulents were real at first. So talented and that wonderful bunny and vegies card, so beautiful. You have done very well and I am assuming it is your birthday or near to so Happy Birthday or Happy Belated Birthday Wishes. Maybe there is more mail coming. Bet its hard to settle back in after such a wonderful time away, thank you so much for sharing your photos on line. Hugs Aileen

My dear Cornelia,
Happy Easter !!
I understand that you have not yet got my Easter card ...?
It was a grim joke for Polish post, but as you can see, my joke turned out to be prophetic :-( I wonder how long time it will take to provide my last Easter card? That maybe it's time to send you another Christmas card?
I hope you have a good time and beautiful Easter.
Hugs,
BożenA

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
