Hello,
Last year I was involved in a Paper Bag Swap. Colleen who lives in Queensland was my swap partner. Just last week my parcel of goodies arrived. I was so happy to see what was made with the fat quarters buttons and threads.
I love the quote on this. Colleen has even done some colouring in on the embroidery. This really sets it of so well. Look at that cute doll. She is now in charge of my tin full of scissors and sits on the edge of the tin.
There was another stitchery with the words "Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love." I couldn't wait to see how Colleen used the rose button and I was so pleased to see the little bag. Lots of memories attached to this bag now as I won the button from
Gail.
Thank you so much Colleen.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to 2012.
Happy days.
Bev C
