A Pink Parcel!

good morning all!
i'm joining in with 'my creative space'..at kootoyoo this morning...

before christmas,

i put my name down with maree from 'on my verandah'

to take part in my very first swap ever.

{thanks maree for organising this...they don't happen by themselves!}

it was a 'colour swap'.

the colour i chose was 'pink'!

the partner i had wanted 'red'

so i put together some red stuff and sent it away

i had to get some red thread

a fat quarter in red

a red treat

and include something pretty that was red...

that was a lot of fun

anyway

melody sent me some pink stuff...

that's the lovely 'dog' card..and you know i love dogs...

thanks melody..very thoughtful,

my georgeous variegated pink embroidery thread..

haha! i was just thinking of buying more variegated thread..

so it's just what i wanted.

the very pretty fat quarter is what i've used as a background

...a 'table cloth' to put everything on to show you all.

i was showing off to my brother on the weekend

and he wanted a piece of the coconut ice that melody sent

so that was opened immediately

and we all scoffed it for morning tea! yum!

there was also a pink packet of 'droste' chocolate pastilles

and

cute hot pink foil wrapped chocolate hearts

...talk about spoiled!

do you see that beautiful rosy magnet there,

that cute pencil

and a little package wrapped in clear cellophane

with soap and a tube of hand cream..wow..

and the pink ribbon she wrapped the parcel with?

but i haven't even got to the best part yet...

i reckon the very best of all

was that she made that amazing mug rug

and dilly bag

that i will be able to keep forever!

i just love the fabrics she's used in them too.

so

thank you melody,

what a treat!

i hope someone has treated you too today...
