Last week I found out I won Francis‘s surprise giveaway and yesterday I received her package with great joy. We were wondering why it took so long to arrive, but all was clear when I noticed the custom office at the airport opened it and all the little packages inside to check them out. Maybe they had a hard time letting the cute things go

Thank you, dear Francis, for all the sweet things you included. I love them all! It’s nice to win giveaways, but surprise giveaways are even more fun!

Getting a package in the mail always makes my day! And I also love to prepare and send packages. So I think trades are great!

Let me show you what I received from Anna. We made a music trade and she sent the most lovely music on a cd with a very original cover, a nice card, all bundled up nicely with her trade mark illustrated cotton tape.

Thank you so much Anna! It was perfect!

And now look at the goodies I got from Nancy! A while ago we remembered her pastel drawings of Witchy and Nancy kindly offered to send me a note card with on of her drawings. I remember fondly the times from a few years ago when Nancy posted many drawings and stories with Witchy and her friends on deviantArt so I was so happy when I heard I will get my very own Witchy card, my favourite witch. Nancy was so sweet to include several cards not only with Witchy, but also her oil paintings. I still didn’t fulfill my part of the trade, but I’m working on it!

Thank you so much, dear Nancy!
