This, that and the other

Oh it has been a lovely day today. Why? Because I received such a lovely package in the post. A little while ago, the very lovely Annie from the birdcages and butterfly blog was having a giveaway and I was a very lucky accidental winner. Apparently what happened was, when she was drawing the last winner out of the hat, a second name fell out, which was me, and she decided to send me a prize as well, bless her.

Annie always wraps everything so beautifully with lace or ribbon -

Look look look at these lovely goodies -

and this is the sweetest -
little letter stamps spelling my name!

I can fell more project coming on!

And then there was LissyLou's challenge, to reveal what was in my handbag. Oh dear, that could be a bit embarrassing. Alrighty, here is the totally unedited contents of my bag as per yesterday. First, my current bag -

Yesterday, I showed you a couple of tags I made. I wasn't quite happy with one of them, it looked too empty, so I added a couple more things to it today and I like it a lot better now. What do you think -

Oh oh, and another thing, I am entering another swap, which sounds really really nice. Have a look here and see whether you might like to join in as well, its such a lovely theme -
