Merry Christmas to me Part 7

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

You do know how much I love my friends at the Trading post, not only for the goodies that I can trade for, but for all the love they send to me every day. 

 Each Christmas we do a Secret Santa gift exchange, meaning we create a list of people who want to participate and our organizer will match us randomly. 

I got to be the Secret Santa for Cindy at Seabreezejewels and I was delighted to send her my new product to test: reusable swiffer pads  

 My Secret Santa instead, was Nel from yesterdaytrunk that sent me some lovely vintage crochet magazine and instructional books and delicate napkins

Do I need to say more??? 

I think Marie from My1SweetAngel knows me way too well!!! I love this pink cupcake ornament!

 And speaking of ornaments, let me show you something else I got! 

 My son Gabriel painted a wonderful red bubble for us 

And from the gift exchange at Grandma's house today I got this wonderful and sparkly dove

It's time to thank Sewnfromtheheart for sending me this lovely ribbon and all the supplies to make Autism Awareness ribbons. 

I do love how thoughtful Alicia was knowing that this is a cause very dear to me!

Merry Christmas to me Part 4

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

This time the package is courtesy of Alisuns that sent me not one but two beautiful and sparkly necklaces. I loved the details and the colors, they remind me of Christmas bubbles, so I'm happily wearing one of them for this holidays. 

Still, I was a little perplex on why she sent me two necklaces and not just one, so I had to ask her when I thanked her and her reasoning was that it was a mother and daughter set!! How delightful! I immediately shared the necklace with my precious daughter Michelle. 

Do you think she liked it?? I know that she LOVED it!!! 

But then again all of Alisuns jewelry is so lovely! I'm also enjoying a pair of snowman earrings that we traded for months ago. See for yourself! 

Merry Christmas to me Part 1

I have started to get some Christmas goodies in the mail from my dear friends, so I thought to start sharing them with you and make you drool! 

The first package I got is from Lisa, the owner of Hillside Bakery. 

She knows me well as I can tell by the fact that she sent me a cupcake pincushion and it's BLUE!! My favorite color!!! 

The peppermint bark was simply supreme!! She makes it herself and I've never tasted anything so good. I still have a little tiny piece left in the bag.....I know, I know! It's calling my name.

 And of course the lovely snow man card! 

I was very touched by how thoughtful she was and also how sneaky!!! One day I found this package on my door step and I started thinking how weird it was since I didn't order anything from her (this time!) and probably she made a mistake!! But nope! 

She simply blessed me and I truly do feel blessed.....

Why do I love my customers?

Yesterday afternoon my photo shoot session was interrupted by the door bell. When I opened the door there was this cute little package from Jelly Belly waiting for me.
Ready to see the content??? Yes??? Look further then!

The packaged contained a huge tin of jelly beans (shaped like a giant jelly bean!), sock with jelly beans designs and 2 jelly beans key chain, one in red for Gabriel and one in Purple for Michelle.
Surprised but slightly confused, I dag the rest of the package to see who was from and found a sweet and lovely card for my recent customer, Gail, thanking my for the hard work in serving her.....woot!!!

So, let me get this straight....I got the change to make some wonderful items, expanding my limits and play with new media and supply and for it not only I got paid, but I also got a jack pot prize???? I guess I died and went to heaven! Hoe did she know that I like to wear silly socks is beyond me. We exchanged emails and talked about fave colors (that's why she knew which colors my kids love) but the socks thing was completely a guess and she guessed right!!

And that's why I love customer orders, it really creates a connection between me and my lovely customers.
