Pink Saturday Gifts and Crafts

Well……. my friend went to Europe and all I got was this…   Fabulous Necklace!!!  Isn't it beautiful?  The friend?  You all know her – LaVerne at Riverside Studios – and like the rest of us she knows life is just sweeter with a little pink in it.  Artist made lampwork beads on a rosary like chain – it's just breathtaking.

But wait there's more as Billy Mays would say! Not one, not two but six rolls of gorgeous paper.  All I said was…"bring me some paper".  These papers are so vibrant and have about every color of the rainbow.  I'm going to make a point to use them rather than "saving" them hidden away in a drawer.  The card is a picture LaVerne took of a mosaic entering the Sistene Chapel. 

Thanks, LaVerne – it's all too much…well, not really!  It's just right!

While Christmas still hangs around my house I'm forging ahead working on Valentines, some things for Paper Cowgirl, my tags for the January TagAlong  and a sampler for A Swap For All Seasons.  Want a sneak peak?  Not of the house, silly!  The valentines!   I can't show you until they're mailed out!

I'm almost done!  Ahead of time.  Hopefully this weekend I'll be home and be able to visit some of my blog friends.  Like Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.  Don't you love the new McLinky she's using – it's so much easier to visit everyone now.  Have a wonderful weekend.  xoxo Nancy
