The most wonderful package arrived yesterday from my lovely and talented friend, Joy! Joy is an amazing friend and she has a way with colors that I have never seen before! Look at this wreath she made! I can't STOP looking at it!:D The picture doesn't come close to doing it justice.... She puts colors together that I would never think of and it is pure magic!
I bought the most amazing swag and picture frames from Joy, but I WON the wreath! I will show you the goodies that I bought (that I also can't stop looking at!) but first let me show you what Joy gave me just because she is extremely kind... She and I both love Holly Hobbie.:) Look at this darling plaque! 
And these sweet Christmas cards!!! Almost too cute to write on!
"To the house of a friend, the way is never long." Joy, I truly hope we can meet in person some day... :)
Look at this amazingly chunky and fun swag! It makes mine look sickly! There is no sibling rivalry- yet. The new swag doesn't brag- too much.:D
Did I mention how Joy wraps her gifts?? Tissue paper and tulle everywhere! Opening a gift from her is like opening up a party! Joy has inspired me to be more creative, let me tell you...
Here are the gorgeous picture frames! Each with it's own joxlette! I am tempted to leave the frames empty and hang them just the way she made them... They are yummy enough to eat!
Here is a close-up of one of the joxlettes. Look at the amazing fabrics and the handmade button! 
Joy- thank you so much for the gorgeous, amazing and thoughtful package! I just can't get over all the lovely things you made and the joy that you sent my way.:) I will be back to shop again soon! Joy is having a wonderful SALE right now, so stop by her shop and pick up some early Christmas gifts!:D

The little girl plaque looks like some of the things my mom used to make. The image brings back wonderful memories!

Cute stuff Lori. I just read your post about the newest issue of Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, I just got my copy this past weekend. Oh my goodness! I loved every single page. The ideas are amazing. I have almost every copy of her magazine.
P.S. Just listened to the poll results. I will be praying for our country right along with you sister.

Thanks for stopping by my blog Lori! I too am soooo excited to have you as a partner for the Very Vintage Christmas Swap! It is going to be a lot of fun! You have a great blog and I am looking forward to getting to know you better. It looks like you received some great goodies from Joy, the picture frames are my favorite! Have a great day!
P.S. I voted for McCain. I’m scared what the future holds for our country, but I will try to leave my worries in the Lord’s hands.
