MORE Thank yous for Birdsong

I owe a big THANK YOU to all of the sponsors of Birdsong 3.  We had fantastically overflowing goodie bags plus an individual gift for all the ladies there.

This delicious wallpaper pack door prize is from Tina at Patina Paperie 

As well as lovely velvet leaves for each tweet bag.

And many of the Peeps who came to the party shared goodies to stuff the bags with too. 

And it is so sweet that previous sponsors have come again sent pretties for our friends to play with. Mitzi shipped us a boxful of vintage wallpaper die cut birds and other treats.

Cathy sent fabulous lace embellishments.

Linda sent tweets for the bags too.
Plus a piece of art for the drawing, and my fave popcorn for me to snack on and keep my energy up with preparing for the party.  She also had a clever move, and used large trash bags as cushioning for the box.  I thought it was a useful idea, I was able to use all the bags over the weekend in our waste cans as opposed to just "trashing" some tissue if she'd used that instead.

Sissy provided doves for the project as well as a necklace for the drawing.  And my sister, Bobbie made up a goodie bag to add to the drawing too.  Sister Terry brought a cooler filled with baked goods, bags of beads for the sacks of tweets, as well as a messenger bag of beautiful items as a door prize (she is an over achiever, and I LOVE it). 

There was a whole table filled with prizes to pass out throughout the event. (Bobbie's hand decorated gift bag is the red one in front, and it was filled with fun things)

Beth's sis-in-law sent hand made soaps that smelled heavenly. 

Lori gave us one of her gorgeous creations to gift some lucky someone with. 

This is a scrap pack from Kristi.

Gosh, I sincerely hope I didn't leave anyone out.  I've tried to show photos of the gifts as they arrived over the last few months, then add the link to my side bar. If you were a sponsor and I didn't add you, I am so sorry. Please let me know and I'll put your link up right away. 

Thank you all for your help in bringing even wider smiles to the happy Birdsong faces.

During our weekend, I was also hosting a family reunion, so my Handsome Husband could play some golf with his bros while all of the ladies crafted and created.  Last minute arrivals to the giftie bags could have gotten overlooked in the chaos, and if you were someone left out, please send me a message so I can fix it. 

The list will be on my sidebar till Birdsong 4 begins.  Yep, I'm planning another one.  How could I not??? It's way, way, too much fun.  I'm also hoping to do a  "Raven Song"  craft day in the studio for Halloween and time it around First Fridays in the West Bottoms Antique District in KC. (I even started the project I have in mind for it)

Here is the list of generous, kind hearted sponsors who gifted us with so much at our Beloved Birdsong.  Thanks, everyone!!
