A Note

Dear Rebecca ,

Thank you for my goodies that arrived in the mail today. You are the greatest!

The garland is already up. I love it. My family does too, it looks perfect in my dining room.

And the tags you made are magnificent! The vintage beauties and the glitter...I adore them.

They are so pretty that I simply must be selfish and keep some for myself. Instead of presents, some will be adorning my home.

And your packaging?

It's just perfect.

The pumpkin spice coffee is good as well. Yum...

Next, I have to say thanks to you Lucy  and  for the whole Sweet Goodness Swaps shebang. You two  manage to host the best swaps ever. Thank you goodness girls! I so enjoy everything about these swaps. The anticipation, getting paired up with and meeting new people, the challenge, the joy of sending and receiving. Besides making new friends, one of the things I appreciate most about swaps is the creative thinking required. It helps me grow and try new things. For example, while I was pondering this current swap, I was trying to figure out what kind of a garland I could make. Then inspiration struck, and I came up with an idea that I truly hope you will love. I ordered some new glass, and started playing. I can't show what I am making, because I really want to  surprise you, but here is another creation that was born from the same idea.

I really, really enjoyed making this. It is a 5" triangle, which gave me some room to play. The words are cut out of a vintage magazine just like the one I sent you last month. The little birds are from a vintage card. I have sooo many ideas racing around in my head right now. I doubt I ever would have thought of making this if it weren't for you, so thanks for the inspiration!

Your package isn't ready yet, (I am never early) but it will be on its way soon.

In summary: Thank you for my lovely garland and goodies. Thank you for inspiring and motivating, and for the kindness you show. I am so grateful to have you as a friend.

Love,
Breanna

Yeah! I'm so glad you liked everything. You know I sent early so don't be rushing! (and normally I am NEVER early either!)

So glad you liked the tags, they really came out much cuter than I thought they would! I'll be making some for me, too. :)

Love the glass triangle! I'm so excited now!

Breanna,
The have faith is lovely. I love black and white and sheet music as a background. Too pretty!

You've been a great participant and it's been even better getting to know you as a friend as well along the way. I'm so glad you have enjoyed the swaps-I'm envious of your pretty garland and tags, and CAN"T wait to see your creation!

I tried coming up with something really different with mine as well--I'm still working on it though :)
