I am so very blessed to have such amazing and beautiful friends in my life. And this Christmas I have been totally spoiled by these wonderful friends, so thought I would share some of the beautiful gifts that they surprised me with.
About a week before Christmas a parcel arrived from beautiful Mardi. I was SO very excited to open it and see what was inside. I was thrilled to find a beautiful stitched little bag. Mardi has chosen fabrics that I adore and I LOVE it SO much. It is sitting in my TV room right next to the couch so I can look at it all the time. Here it is photographed with some gifts from my wonderful students as well. Thank you SO much Mardi.
Then last Thursday Kim totally surpirsed me with a beautiful gift that she had also made for me. She had created this most beautiful journal for me, filled with lots of different pages, some already decorated and ready for me to start filling it with photos and journaling. I was totally blown away and absolutely LOVE it. Thanks SO much Kim.
And if I wasn't feeling spoiled enough already, some more packages arrived just before Christmas. The first was a surprise gift from Mel Nunn - what a surprise and how super exciting! Inside my BIG parcel was an amazing American Crafts Corduroy Album in my favourite colour -red, along with some beautiful ribbons and two gorgeous fat quarters. I needed a new album SO much as I had about 100 layouts waiting to go into albums, so a perfect gift for me. Thank you SO much for surprising and spoiling me Mel. I love them ALL se very much!
The next parcel was from my lovely friend Kerry from Nundle - a beautiful mannequin and a Christmas note book. SO beautiful and I already have some great uses in mind for them both. Thank you SO much Kerry.
And finally I just wanted to share a little gift that I purchased for myself! A beautiful necklace and ring, both purchased from this etsy store,called SeaUnicorn. If you like unique and feminie jewellery, then take a look at her store, as her pieces are SO beautiful. I was very excited when they arrived before Christmas too - so I have been wearing them almost every day!

Even more exciting, they match perfectly with a beautiful outfit that Jasper gave me for Christmas too.

Thanks for sharing some of my special and surprise gifts with me and a BIG THANK YOU to my amazingly beautiful friends who made me feel SO very spoiled. I hope you were spoiled too! x Janelle
Note: A few people have asked what program I use for my photo collages. They are all done in a program called Photoshop. There is a program available for free download called Picasa which is another way to make photo collages. Check it out here.
And a few others have asked for the author of the compendium book called She that I have talked about too. I have searched the book high and low and there doesn't seem to be an author - so here is a link to it online so those that are interested can see what it looks like.
