A Parcel from Marija!

This morning I peaked out the window and on the chair by the front door was a parcel! I couldn't wait to open it - I love surprises...

Here's what was inside:

A gorgeous collection of 'yummy' items...

Some spritzy bottles!!! OMG I've got spritzers to spray glitter and ink - I'm so excited by these... some are colours and some are glittery colours... can't wait to get them out and shake them up and spray whatever I can find!

AND a stunning notebook with my name on... my name is done in a technique where it looks like metal but is made from embossing powder heated over and over - wow!

Next to be opened was a pretty silver tin decorated with a big glittery 'e'... so I thought, hmm, embellishments? Yep!

Beautiful decorations to go onto cards... flowers, pom poms, pegs, bows... so gorgeous!

Sometimes I like to keep pretty things forever and just look at them and never use them, but I'm going to be quite strict with myself here and USE these gorgeous doodads!

Anyone else out there in blogland save their favourite goodies and then never use them? I am so guilty!

Huge thank you to Marija for sending me this beautiful parcel as a sweet reward for winning the clipboard challenge last week.

WOW! Jenny, parcels have so much magic in them, at your house!! What a fabulous gift. I am so looking forward to seeing what you create with your new embellishments. :)
I, too, have a policy of using my special favourites - but sometimes it's hard!

What a wonderful parcel and how appropriate to be given spritzer bottles after playing with some on the weekend. Tricia
