today i am thankful for

super swappers who sent me these surprises:


very pretty fabric covered altered comp book (lucky Lisa
got to attend the Houston quilt to-do, and made this in
a class. Lucky ME got it in my mailbox shortly thereafter!)

this bag (WITH the key fob--i have a thing for key fobs,
by the way, initiated by bumblebeebags) made me think of
beautiful bittersweet vines. It came from Samantha
at Samantha's Essentials:


(not sure why the bittersweet is so tiny . . .
do you have it growing where you live?)


from Chrissy B, a sweet cross stitched Christmas ornament;
how cute is this?


and finally, from Lisa the Pottery Lady, look at all these
lovely pieces, in some of my favorite colors, no less:


I don't think Lisa realized it, but I collect handmade pottery!
That big flower piece is waiting for me to make it into a pendant . . .

Thank you to all these awesome swappers!
:)
