I missed you and a spring supply swap!

I have missed everyone so much!! I had surgery on Friday and I've been down for a few days! I've been getting tired easy and sleeping alot! but I am starting to feel better! Thanks to everyone for their prayers! they help alot!!! I wanted to post pics of the spring swap supply I did with Jill from BucksCountFolkArt! Here is what I sent her! This might look like it's Christmas but it's not!! She loves Christmas! So I sent her a tin full of Christmas goodies and supplies, I put alot in that tin! Above in these pics are handmade by me. I love making tags so much so I made her a tag with her blog name on it! She loved it! I found the perfect picture on The Graphic Fairy blog. She shares the best pictures with us to use! I coffee dyed a little doiley, and that is a small yo-yo candle mat I made and a flower bowl filler. Since my camera isn't working I borrowed these pics from her blog. She has alot more pics on there. The best part was how much she loved what I sent her! She is a very special person and very talented! and this is what I received!!

 This is a little Mrs Claus she carved out of a small piece of wood! She is self taught and this is amazing! 

This is the rest of the goodies she sent me! Jill knew my favorite color is orange so she dried a real orange for me! How cool! There were cute little rusty items, tiny baskets, fabric, lace, Mary Engelbriet cards, wired ribbon, a little bag of thread glitter and beads! The cutest birdhouse that I am putting on my porch and some cute little ones to hang! There also was the cutest little piece of cherry fabric and an orange fat quarter! Jill gave all of this to me with her heart and I love it and I am also so very blessed to have been paired up with her! Thank you Gina for putting us together!!!

CHECK OUT THE GIVEBACK I WON!!!!!!!!

Well I gotta say April was an awesome month for me!! I'm asking God what I did to deserve all that I have received!! Not only did I get a new grandaughter and win the game of Dollyoply. I won Theresa's giveback from 612Riverside.blogspot.!! I received all of these awesome treasures that she made! Her talent is just amazing! Theresa is a very down to earth person and very caring! Check out her blog! One of  the gifts in my box was a tag with a grubby tape measure on it! I had been wanting one for so long! She altered alot of the items, a bird on a silver tray, ATC, old roll of crepe paper,tags, quite a few boxes she recycled with prints, lace, buttons, etc. etc!!!!! Thanks to her daughter Hannah for picking my name!!!! I am so amazed at all of the wonderful women here on the blogs! So caring!! and talented! I praise God for giving me all of these bessings and gifts!!! XO Fran.

I'm almost done with my book and I am so excited to send out my swap! Amy is my partner and she is a doll! She is so upbeat and fun! I also did a Spring swap. I'm waiting to receive mine and then I'll show pictures of what I sent and what  I got. It was alot of fun! I also did an Easter egg swap! Jennifer sent me the coolest stuff and I am just waiting for her to receive hers, and then I'll post about that one too! I am loving the swaps! I just love to get little surprises in the mail! It always seems to brighten up my day! It's such a blessing when you open up the package and see the love and care someone puts in to it! There are alot of special ladies here in blogland!

Dreaming!

Well, I've been laying low for the week or so. Trying to take it easy! Becuz I can't wait til I can get outside and ride my bike! and start working in my yard and garden! I am actually starting to do alittle spring cleaning inside. Things that have been needed to be done for a while now! I'm working on making a little desk in my kitchen area. My daughter Kaitlin had oral surgery this week, all four wisdom teeth out! Poor baby she's never had any kind of surgery before! She's been a trooper,even though she's 19, she's my baby girl! I just love Audrey Hepburn! I actually got my husband to watch , Breakfast at Tiffany's with me! What a guy, he suffered through it with me all the way to the end! I had never watched the entire movie before! I loved it! I signed up for a few swaps and am working on them right now also! Kinda excited. I love to get little surprises in the mail and also to be able to pay it forward! The sun has been shining here in Michigan! and I love it! even the weather has been alot warmer! The snow is melting! YAY! Now all my dreams of riding my bike, working in my yard and taking long walks with my husband can start to come true! Have a great one! XO Fran.
