Isn't that the loveliest shape? The flowers are a fabulous texture too and I loved the effect of the centres! I was lost for words as I opened it - very unusual for me - as Lucy was probably beginning to discover - if she hadn't worked that out already, of course! I hope she realized how much I loved it!
Just look at the treasures inside! One thing I never seem to have enough of are embellishments. Lucy made this exquisite little cherub and the flowers and charms are fabulous!
I can't wait to use them!
But loveliest of all, Lucy very generously gave me her artwork for Crafty Individuals Fine Romance Challenge! I shall really treasure this!
Those flowers are incredible and the crackle is stunning! If only you could see the Mica in real life!
I can't wait to create something especially for Lucy now to say a big 'Thank You' for her friendship.
Thank you too for stopping by Magpieheaven today. April 4th will see the very first anniversary of my blog and I have to say that entering the wonderful world of Craft Blogging has opened my eyes to so much beauty all around me and introduced me to so many amazing, talented and generous new friends. Thank you so much, Lucy and Crafty Bloggers all!
