The elves are busy
The elves and I have been busy. We (me and my make believe elves) made a little gift for someone special from blogland who has been "there" for me through some really tough times. I found her blog in the winter of 2009, I had nothing to do but sit and worry, struggling with daughter issues, a struggle I learned she could understand. Isn't it funny how we "find" people? I have faithfully followed her since. I love her stories, drool over her projects, and so admire her giving nature. She has no idea what a nice "get-a-way", her world of cuteness brings to me. I can never repay the favor, but have, for a long time, wanted to send her a little thank you.
A while back she commented on something I made and so "a little something" is headed her way. Sometime soon I will post a tutorial (she asked me to), so of course I will (!!) but I'm pretty sure she could make this little creation without my tutorial, and do a killer job. So E listen for the door bell, because the mailman will soon be delivering a little package, and here's a sneak peek.
With gratitude and a hug, Elaine (E in TN)

It sure is Viv ! I so hope to meet some of you crafty chicks someday, each time Meri has a get-together I am so tempted to head to AZ ...thanks for visiting !
DeleteI definitely agree that one of the most wonderful things about blogging is the connections that we make. Your thoughtfulness and kindness sparkle just as your artful handmade creations do.
Deletexx,

I have been crafting Christmas for about two weeks now, it all started with the Whitman's Candy Box exchange! I just got started and can't stop! No wonder E has us making Valentines in the middle of December! Smile. I have learned so much about paper crafting from our beloved Elizabeth! Cute post!
ReplyDeleteTammy have you guys exchanged them yet? I haven't seen them been watching ... such a cute idea. E
DeleteElaine, I am overwhelmed at your kindness in making me one of your houses. I look at yours every single time I am on Flickr. I have a blank house waiting for that tutorial. Oh please know that I couldn't possibly make one as special as yours! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteI love the nostalgic flare and that baby-shower cake that you made is marvelous :) As you can tell, I have been meandering through some of your posts and they are full of charm and loveliness.
ReplyDeleteI found you through mutual followers and I hope that you will become a mutual follower, too.
Your new blogging sister, Connie :)
Elaine! My Santa house has just arrived today! It is by far my most coveted kitschy Christmas craft ever! I can't believe I have one for myself. And kind, too too kind to also include the Goo Goo's. I can't wait to make the cake for Thanksgiving (will the candy wait that long?)
ReplyDeleteAgain, you were so sweet to respond to my gushing. Happy, happy dance here!
Elizabeth
