Another Beautiful Valentine Swap

Happy Valentines Day to all of you!!

My ebay group did a valentine swap also. They have spoiled me for almost 3 years now with their love, humor and gorgeous crafts given to me. I cannot say enough about these women. I was partners with Shirl of Shirlsrosecottage this time. This woman does the most gorgeous silk ribbon embroidery. Shirl has been doing it a long time and does exquisite work.

But Shirl sent me my favorite kind of candy — coconut and almonds. It's almost all gone and I just got it a couple of hours ago. I'll TRY and leave some for Love Bunny but first come first eater is my motto!! :-)

But look at this beautiful little fleece embroidered roses hearts banner. It is fantastic in person, let me tell youuuuuuuuu!! I'm hanging it in a very special place also.



And Shirl does lovely cards also.

And this little valentine pillow with embellishments galore. I cannot tell you how much she has thrilled me today. I am truly blessed by these women. Truly!!!!!

  6. What fun pink Valentine things! I don't know which is my favorite. They are all so cute! Maybe the pink hearts strung together.

    Was reading a few of your previous posts. Oh you little shoe fashionista you! What fun shoes you posted! Glad you were able to get a few pair. Also loved the post with that sweet sweet pink baby! I think I love her in the white netting the best! How precious!

  13. Connie,

    Shirl's treasure are beautiful, aren't they. Boy you received some beauties. Oh, and I wouldn't worry to much about saving some goodies for Love Bunny. If you tuck the box way down in the bottom of the trash can, he'll never know you even received them. But.... be sure to wipe the candy off the sides of your lips before he gets home! lol

    Happy Valentines Day my friend.
