Sweet Tweets and Mr. UPS

It's almost 2:00 AM- again. (Jes- are you still up?)  Those of you that know me well know that I am such a NIGHT OWL.  Must. Break. This. Habit.  sigh....  Well, while I'm up let me remind you to *enter my Necklace Giveaway* (previous post)!

And, while I have your attention, here is my show and tell for the day.  Do you remember show and tell at school?  Those were the days.  I think we should have grown-up show and tell- just for fun.:)

Olenka sent me the most wonderful package of goodies!  She is one creative lady!  A darling notebook...

   A sweet gift card holder with *gasp* a Starbuck's gift card!  Yippee!

   Look at her attention to detail!  You should see the lovely things in her Etsy shop!

   She made this precious gift box out of paper!  Wowzers!  And inside were beautiful tags!

   This is the outside of the gift box.  Thank you so much for the sweet surprises, Olenka!

   I won a giveaway from Tiffany at Love Boxes, too!  Have you seen her hand painted works of art?  Gorgeous.  Not only did she send me the sweet little bear Love Box, she also included candies, toys, crayons, tags, a book, a notebook and pencils!  

   Look at the darling wrapping...

   Then, yesterday Mr. UPS showed up at my door with a HUGE box.  It was something from Red Envelope!  My mind was racing!  Who could this be from??

   It turns out it was from my dear friend, Heather!  We met when we were partners in a book swap and have been close ever since.  She is an absolute treasure, let me tell you...

   Look at these sweet tweets!  Oh, I LOVE them!  They are lanterns!  

   I love their sweet faces and the colors are beautiful!  Thank you so much, Heather!
   *Once again, don't forget to enter my giveaway!*  I will draw a winner on Sunday!  Now I am going to bed...

Reflection of You necklace

   Thank you so much for your sweet comments about my "Reflection of You" necklace!  I have to tell you that I love mine and wear it every day.:)

   So....  What would your necklace say about you?

   Is baking your passion?

   Perhaps you are an old fashioned kind of girl (vintage car).  Or maybe sewing brings you joy!

   Are you a Busy Bee?  Or more of a Social Butterfly?

   Do you love sweet tweets?  Or perhaps gardening is your passion?

   Do you like to entertain (cluster of grapes)?  Perhaps traveling is more your speed...

Or maybe you are more of a romantic?  (This is just a small sample of charms you can choose from.  E-mail me if you have questions.  Lori toosillysisters@cox.net)

   And what is your favorite color?  Don't forget that pearls are an option, too.

Add your initial and I can create a "Reflection of You" necklace just for you!  Don't forget that Mother's Day is coming up... And because I love you guys so much,  I will be having a drawing for a free "Reflection of You" necklace!  Yippee!  Just leave a comment on this post and I will randomly pick a winner this Sunday, the 12th! (*For those of you that can't wait, I will be listing these in my shop tonight.*)

Neck Advice

   Alright ladies.  I am now 40 years old.  My neck area still looks good and I want to keep it that way.  Any suggestions as to what I can use?  There are so many products on the market and I am overwhelmed!

Easter Swap

   I was one lucky duck when Emilie paired me up with Jen for her Easter Swap!  We had a blast getting to know each other!  Jen is a "fairy" of sorts in that she made so many of my Easter dreams come true!  Have a look...

   I love my pink glittered "Happy Easter" sign!  And look at the sweet little "chocolate" bunny on my mantle above.  Precious!  Jen makes them in her shop.  Yes, she does!

   The darling little carrot tag now lives with Mr. Bunny.  I think he needs a new bow, though...

   Jen wrote the sweetest notes.  I love this one especially!  Jesus is truly what Easter is all about.  The banner she is referring to (FABULOUS!) is below...

   Look at the detail!  I know!  This banner is amazingly gorgeous!  I showed Jen a picture in Country Living magazine and she made me a banner that looked even better than the magazine!  Only Jen!:)

   It's hard to see the colors in this picture but they are romantic and oh so shabby chic!

   How about one more shot?  Why not??  I love it, Jen!  

   Look at my little vintage glittered bunny and her sweet flowers!  And how about the pink hand towels!  Pink, pink, pink and glitter- me, me, me!:)
   LOOK. AT. THIS.  Jen hand painted it!  Oh yes, she did!  Utterly fabulous!

   Jen and I are all about the little birdies and look at what she made for me!  A sweet framed nest!!

   Jen collects "G's" and now I am going to start collecting "D's"!  Thanks, Sweetie!  I love the colors and the little birdie is the "cherry on top"!  LOVE IT!

   Here's another wish that Fairy Jen created!  Will you look at this darling sign??  You know we will be having an Easter egg Hunt this year!!

   Here is the complete box of Easter love!  Jen, I cannot wait to be partners again!:)

Last Nights Apprentice

   Any thoughts on last nights Apprentice?  First of all, I was APPALLED at the commercials the teams created.  One word- TACKY.  I was very disappointed in Clint Black.  I thought he was classier than that.  And how about the firing at the end??!!  Shame on you, Donald Trump.  T. Boz (?) deserved to stay.  I admired her for volunteering to go back to the board room.  Those commercials were disgusting, though.  No wonder neither team won.   

Custom Made...

   just for ME!  I created this sweet little necklace for myself this week-end.  A little reflection of me.:)  My first initial, a precious little tweet and a bit of sparkle all on a sterling silver ball chain! 

   I'd love to make one especially for you, too!  Just think, a necklace that represents things that you love- a favorite color, animal, craft, first/last initial, the cross, a heart, flower, angel, etc.  So many possibilities...  What a wonderful gift, too!  A one of a kind piece of jewelry for you or a loved one.  What do you think?  Should I list them in my shop?

Sea Glass

   This bracelet reminds me of beautiful sea glass.  Turquoise blue, lime green and deep purple...stunning.

   Soon to be in my shop....
