Decorate an Envie with Mushrooms: SWAP

This mail art was for a swap I joined on swap-bot.com. The theme was : mushroom. It took me 2 days to come up with this. I wasn't sure what type of colours to use - so I used pencil colours.

An Unexpected Envelope

My hubby found this in my mailbox today. So excited to see a big envelope - a big stuffed envelope addressed to me :D .

I couldn't figure out what this was about. I checked the sender's address and it was from Canada. I wasn't expecting anything from Canada. Even the sender's name didn't ring a bell. There was no swap name or any detail on the envelope. I opened it carefully not knowing what was inside.

While opening the envelope - I was still thinking that this was a wrong swap. I didn't sign up for any craft or craft supplies swap. I went through each item carefully thinking, "Oh no! I'll have to return this to the person who sent this to me. It's a wrong swap."  ;(

It wasn't until I read the note in the envelope addressed to me that I realised that this was for me. It was ALL for me. It wasn't the wrong swap. I had forgotten all about it. 

Isn't this like an answered prayer? We ask God for many things desperately and persistently and after sometime we go about with our day to day life  forgetting what we prayed for. But Christ is faithful and he doesn't forget our prayers. AMEN!?

This is what I got in my Stuffed Envelope Swap.

 Things in the Envelope:

• 1 Smash Stick : K&Company
• 1 pack Laura Ashley Photo Corners
• 2 Designer Rhinestones : Bling It
• 1 pack Rhinestones (Butterfly) : KAISER scrapbook
• 1 Clear Stamp : Studio g
• 2 Scrapbooking papercraft: 7gypsies
• 30 pieces color block brads - garden flowers : Queen & Co.
• A colourful flower

PS: Thank you Josie for such a Surprise!! Felt like love in abundance.

Postcards I received

Received the following postcards from United States - Ohio and Utah, Canada, Singapore and France. Here's the description on the postcards in the picture.

1. Ohio's Native Wildlife. 
2. Postcard from Singapore.
3. The Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
4. Eiffel Tower - Paris
5. Boldt Castle, Alexandria Bay, NY.

The Eiffel Tower is almost 123 years old as of 2012.

My favorite postcard from the above collection is the La Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower), Paris. The postcard pictures the construction of the Eiffel Tower from May 1888. And mini pictures from May 1888, July 1888, December 1888 and the completed tower in May 1889. Though the Eiffel Tower was built and completed on March 31, 1889. It took about two years from 1887-1889 to build the tower. 

Birthday Goodie Bag

The month of June celebrated two of my beloved and adorable cousin sister's birthdays. Last year I sent them cuddly toys  and it was a hit. They both loved it. 

Now this year was a bit difficult. I didnn't want to repeat my gifts and thought to get them something they can use. Now, people say that it's difficult to choose gifts for guys (boys) but trust me it's as difficult to choose for teen girls too. Especially when it is to be mailed. So this year I decided to send them a "Birthday Goodie Bag". Here in the picture is the collection of things I got for one of my 15 year old cousin - some cute stationary, nail art stickers and cross-stitch pattern. For the younger cousin who is 12 this year she loves fashion accessories so I choose some cute earrings and hairbands and stuff like that (forgot to take the picture so its not here). I really hope they like it.

PS: If you girls are reading this, know that we dearly love you both. Wishing all happiness your way and may you have a Blessed birthday.
