This is long over due,but today I am sharing some special gifts I have received in the past few months
I won these fabulous stencils from GioGioCraft
Gio has her own line of stencils and I was lucky enough to win her giveaway and choose my prize!
If you are a regular at Gio's blog or YouTube ,you will know she is famously talented for creating and designing Midori travel journals,which I am now the proud owner of one,as well as designing her own stencils,creating mini books,sharing tutorials and her Fantastic play with color!!Her fun way with colors is what drew me to her and kept me coming back!
Then just before Christmas another package arrived,okay three different ones arrived.
Over at Just Add Water Silly Jenn had a giveaway,a plentiful giveaway!
Part of the giveaway was Jenn's recently reviewed, fabulously cool work book ~ Tangle Starts by Alice Hendon of the Creator's Leaf
just look at this glorious color!!! my only issue with this book of journal pages is they are so pretty I hate to add to them! heeheehee
Jenn graciously added the set of four pens shown in the photos to this giveaway.
and...
Jenn had also recently shared how she used a Hahnemuehle postcard tin as a DIY palette.
So,also included in the giveaway were these Tangle Tile Tins from Hahnemuehle.
Thank you so much Hahnemuehle for your generosity~I am having so much fun with these!
Next up is my beautiful assemblage of beads,vintage and newer sent from my dear friend and Tribe Sister,Linda Edkins Wyatt.
I have already started to use these lovelies on some of my recent projects~here
bags and bags and even tins and bins-oh my! teehee
It was difficult to photograph through the bags,so here are some of the beads sorted and rehoused.
all my ooohhing and aaahhing over her recently made tag collection must have got to her...and she sent me off this gorgeous tag she created! I LOVE it Jill!
Lynda and I share the same love ofhoarding recycling materials. But Lynda is so much more resourceful than I!
Do you see those bits of aqua/teal in there? Those are scraps of Gwen's handmade Papers that Lynda just could not part with. So,(don't ask me how)but she was able to weave all of this goodness together into some of the most scrumptious yarn I have ever seen!

What a wonderful stash of goodies! You were very kind in your description of my yarn. Use it! I say use it. You only live once, but there is plenty of yarn to be made.

Looking forward to seeing what you will create with these beauties!

I'm drooling over the accessory bag, and I just love what you're doing with those tangle tiles! I also participated in Jenn's giveaway, because that tangle workbook looked so amazing. I agree with you, I would have a hard time putting anything on top of those gorgeous colors too! You have been spoiled, but I can't think of a nicer person to receive all this. Enjoy! And have a wonderful week! Hugs xxx
