Karen @ Some Days Are Diamonds
Hosted a Fall Cigar Box Gift Exchange.
She paired us up with a partner.
Our job was to go, secretly of course,
Find out what our partner liked,
and design a cigar box just for her.
I was paired up with Sue
@ I Need Mom. Just click on
the link, go and visit Sue, give
her some lovin, and while you
are there you can see the box
I made just for her.
Now Sue spent some time around
my blog to find out a little bit about
my loves, and she nailed me right
on the head. She knew I loved
pink, and magic, and fairies. Just
look at the box that came for me.
Just look how beautifully it came boxed,
with love, to me. Sue thinks of every little
detail let me tell you.
Tied with a beautiful Fall ribbon.
Notice my box says for,
"Special Someone." Just
look at the detail. "Joy"
and "Laugh". Oh Sue I just
love this box of happiness.
It has made my heart "Happy".
Let's take a peek inside.
Oh My Gosh Sue!!
She knew of my home sickness for Fall.
Look at what she put on top.
I am pressing these and putting
them in a frame. Since moving to
Phoenix, Fall is the only real season
that has made me want Oklahoma.
I love the Fall.
Now would you just look at the treasures,
that beheld my sight when I went in to the
treasure chest for a deeper look.
Just look at these sparkly flowers.
Are they not absolutely divine?
And look something with an "S".
A bag of potpourri with an "S". It can be for
Sherry or for Smith. (One of the nice things
about having the same letter for your first
and last name.) And Anthropologie besides.
Oooh Sue, you are a gal after my own heart.
Here's a closer look at my flower of beauty.
Also just see the gorgeous ribbon to save
for another special project. Sue, you just
thought of everything sweet friend.
A sparkly pumpkin and gord. Aren't they delightful?
And look, a little notepad for writing my secrets
perhaps, or for writing down the next craft projects
that are yet to be.
Oh and lookie here. A beautiful glittered card,
with skeleton keys attached. I wonder what
they open? You just never know. Key to a
lovely friends heart, just for me. Thank you Sue.
And take note of the beautiful vintage hankie.
Everything was wrapped inside of this in the box.
Blue is one of my favorite colors, and I so
adore the blue tatting. Just gorgeous.
And lastly I wanted to share (1) of the two vintage
postcards that Sue enclosed. Does this not
say "Vintage"? Oh what a treasure these
cards are. Another write perhaps, I want
to share dates, and writings from the backs.
Sue, my sweet friend, how did you ever part
with these jewels? And to think she told me
she couldn't craft. Ladies do you agree with
me when I say, I think she was pulling my leg?
I got so carried away about the treasures,
I just had to go back and show you the
details in these last two pictures.
Look at the gorgeous lace she added around
the edge. Is it not elegant?
And here is a close up of the lid. She knew
my love for butterflies. Love that blue butterfly.
And "Glow" is the magic word inside. Yes,
Sue you made my heart "GLOW". Oh how
beautiful this box is. I thank you from the very
bottom of my heart, sweet friend. I will cherish
it always, as I do our blogging friendship.
Friends are what make the world go round.
Cherish each heart you meet. Hold it in
your hands with the greatest of care. It
is the greatest gift of LOVE. Sue thank you
for the gift of LOVE. I will cherish it forever.
