swaps

I got my gift today, my beautiful May Basket from Karin at  http://www.creativechaos.typepad.com/.  Oh my, how pretty, how perfect and how thoughtful!  She included little canvases and brushes and so many of my favorite things.

I opened it immediately right there in my breezeway, and then saw how cheerily all the colors matched in that room and had to take a picture of it there.  So springy and bright! 

Here is a close of of the corsagey top she made for the collaged box it all came in. (I feel like I should pin the bouquet on my jacket and wear it for Mother’s Day to show it off!)

This is my first swap, and I am thrilled.  I wonder, can they possibly all be this good, or was I just really lucky?? 

Thanks to http://www.artsymama.blogspot.com/ for arranging the swap!  And thanks to Karin for the goodie basket. I am going to eat one of the chocolate goodies now for energy and then go and plant some trees.  We’ll see if my luck holds out and I can get some help with planting the trees today, or if I am on my own.

Oh, also wanted to let you know that the Birdie bucket and the Rose bucket are both spoken for, thanks so much for your inquiries.  I still have the May Bucket giveaway bucket, keep entering to win!
