Valentine Swap, Part 1

A few weeks ago I took a leap and decided to join Marsha's Valentine Swap. I knew who I was to create a heart for, however I did not know who I was going to receive a heart from. Little did I know that I would receive an envelope all the way from The Netherlands~ from the lovely Lisette from Liszha's Scrappy World! She created this adorable polka dot pink stitched heart, and I love it! And as if that wasn't sweet enough, she included even more wonderful goodies:

Isn't this fun??!! Lisette is so generous~ and so creative!
I instantly fell in love with this adorable dangly heart key fob! She used my current favorite color combination-- pink, red, and turquoise. Looking at all the little details, it's so evident that she made this with me in mind.








Lisette is also a very talented paper crafter. She created this absolutely gorgeous tag for me using a variety of materials-- it's so beautiful! I've always admired people that can bring together several elements and materials so perfectly. It's a skill that does not come naturally to me, so I'm always so in awe of people who seem to have a natural knack for it.

Oh-- and she included this rubber stamp and some fun, sparklie di-cut tags also! This was such a fun envelope to open, so full of fun surprises! Thank you so much, Lisette, for the beautiful heart and all these wonderful, thoughtful goodies!

Hugs,

PS: Please don't forget to come back tomorrow for Part 2~ I can't wait to share the heart that I created for Kate!

A Little Magpie Valentine's Cheer

Hello, Sweet Friends. It's Valentine's month, and I decided to treat myself to one new Valentine's Day decoration this year! (Okay, maybe two...) I've long been a fan of Laurie's whimsical creations over at her blog Magpie Ethel, and when I spotted this adorable vintage heart jello mold creation, I knew it was meant to be mine!

I love how Laurie works her magic with her vintage findings, found at various estate sales. She finds the greatest goodies and shares them on her blog each week. I eagerly await her "Estate Sale Friday" posts each week, and am never disappointed with her knack for finding unique and nostalgic vintage goodness!

I love this sweet little cupid heart, Laurie-- it will have a place of honor in my little home!

Hugs,

PS: Thanks for the extra little surprise~ that "Wanted" badge is so clever and cute!
