Happy Thanksgiving to all my bloggy friends....

What could be better than sharing the POSTCARD/THANKSGIVING happy mail with you on Thanksgiving day?

few weeks ago, we had a POSTCARD/THANKSGIVING swap at City Crafter Challenge Blog (City Crafter party blog)

we ended up an odd number of participants in the swap, therefore, we have a 3-ways, Marion, Amanda and myself is in this group, Marion would sent her package to Amanda, Amanda send hers to me, and I will send my package to Marion, which was out early last week and today, I received the happy mail from Amanda

just look at all the goodies....

even the box is beautifully done, I wish you could see and feel the texture on the box... it is great!

and I hope you could smell the scent from this little jar, it is almost good enough to eat....

thank you so much Amanda.....

You might want to hop over to Amanda's blog - The Midwest Debutante to admire her beautiful creation

and then make your next stop to City Crafter Party Blog to see all the other happy mails from all over the world.....

Lace and Doily Swap

Sometime ago, I started the City Crafter party blog, a place for crafters who wanted to have some fun. The first fun thing we had was the "Pretty Things Jar Swap", everyone had such great fun and I decided to do a 2nd swap, it is the "Lace and Doily Swap". 

Now it's party time for the swap, those who had received their packages from their partner already started showing off their "happy mail" of pretty laces and doilies.

Here's mine!!! From my lovely partner Deb Hickman, all the way from United Kingdom!

My lace and doily package came pretty wrapped up in PINK with lovely white lace

Look at all these beautiful laces, it even have one of the vintage clothes peg I was looking for, how cool is that!

And LOOK! How lucky I am, Deb sent me this beautiful lace and doily stamp set, thank you Deb, I can't wait to use it!

Beautiful card with hand-written note

Here's her beautiful handmade card

Now that I posted, I am really to dig in!!!!!

(note - for those who are still waiting for your package to arrive, don't worry, Inlinkz at the party blog will stay open until everyone link their post, and it is there for you to visit, hop around the other blogs any time you wish)

*** THANK YOU***

Thank you Deb, for sending a beautiful package full of lovely laces and doilies, you are so generous!

Thank you to all who took part in this swap, I am so happy to see that everyone had fun, thank you for your participation and support for the swap! We'll have one more soon, this time, I want to hear from you what kind of swap you would like.
