For someone who loves presents, receiving them from other crafters/artists is so much fun! I signed up on Facebook when Nicole (lilyella) posted her Secret Santa project.
Then I got nervous...what would I make? Did I already have something appropriate and good enough to send??? How will I wrap it as that was part of the project?
Creating under pressure is not my forte. Creating under pressure right before Christmas was an even larger challenge. While I pondered what to do - time was running out.
Well - I did manage to finish my Secret Santa and sent it off to Maryland to Lisa on the last day I was supposed to mail it. Whew!
I received my Secret Santa on Christmas Eve. I was so surprised when I opened my package to find a lovely charm and bead bracelet and earrings! I tried my best to get a good picture and after about ten shots - this was the best I could do. It's black and crystal beads with silver charms. Thank you, Christy! Now I need to get an new outfit to go with my new jewelry!
I can't wait for next year - I'm already thinking about what I will make. Hopefully I will start earlier now that I know there might be another opportunity - what are the chances?

ReplyDeletepersonal note
No one can hurt You
Unless you allow
True Love is not simple Words ,like No one will ever love you like I did ,then they walk away ,towards another .
True Love is not Written in a Poem to be left unspoken ,never faced with Reality .
To what I've seen
Some Do not even know True Love
They will argue the point ,they do
No ,they are still searching within themselves .
Leaving My Heart with Words here today .
Now it shall forever be me speaking the Truth to ,your Soul .
You shall never be Loved ,Like I will always Trust and Believed .
I Loved You
Yes used word Loved .
As now I finial Know That I am Set Free of this Bind that connected each other together .
My Heart is Free and believe me ,This is so Refreshing to have this Experience ,it is like ,each Heart beat
Holds some amazing Sound as it beats within you ,that is really for first time .
Becomes "Alive"
Happy New Year
May the Life ,Open up something new ,that will bring much Beauty to your World .
Be the Magick in 2011
Be the Beauty in 2011
Be Yourself in 2011
Open your Heart ,Love You
There becomes a Beauty and Magick ,breathing amazing Love in just being Who you are .

Betcha - Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy New Year to you too! It sounds like you are in a better place...yay!
ReplyDeleteBonnie those are beautiful! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebecca! It was a fun project once I figured out what to do! Scary when everyone else is so artistic...but I guess I won't get any better at blogging or creating if I don't try to step out of my comfort zone!
