End of the Year Swaps and Creations

Happy New Year, dear friends!  Even though the new year has just begun, I wanted to share some end-of-the-year goodies with you.  I was sooooo lucky to be part of JoAnne's "25 Days of Christmas Secret Santa Swap" (say that 3 times fast!!)  My dear SS was none other than the talented Lynn who gifted me with these amazing treasures, which I opened one day at a time!  Because I was a very good girl!

The lovely and talented Marfi gave me this amazing picture which she created for my birthday....

I LOVE angels!

I'm so lucky to have such talented and generous friends!

And I created this little fairy jar for her December 10th birthday...

My dear friends, Nancy and Cliff celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past week and although they requested "no gifts" for their celebration, I couldn't resist creating this card for them (which may be hung on a wall, cabinet door, etc)

Some special waterless snow globes, for some special friends...

And a Pixie Jar, for a very special little pixie!

I also thought you might like a close-up peek at the vintage glove box I altered for Mandy this Christmas...I want to give a special "thanks" to Carol for her amazing free tutorial on how to create one of these stunning object d'arte!

Here is the charming domino necklace I received from my partner, Tee, in her Altered Domino Swap

And this is what I created for her...

All of these ladies are amazing and if you haven't followed their blogs/shops, it would be such a great thing to do in this new year!

Have a beautiful week, sweet friends, and let me know where your muse is taking you!
