I had the nicest surprise in the mail
yesterday from Faye! Before you see
the pic you just know it is going to be good
...and it is!
I Y love Y M Designs "Bloom" from a recent JCS
issue so Faye could not have picked a better
one to use for the cutest needlebook!

Just love the pink/brown combination on the green linen
Isn't this design perfect for a needlebook????
As always, Faye's eye for detail and finishing is flawless. What a wonderful gift from such a great friend.....almost too pretty to use!

Thought I would share another Dollar Tree goodie I found last weekend that I just couldn't pass up.
What started out as a pencil holder .....
My "ends" to a means
has now been transformed with a few scrapbook
embellishments into my travelling ORT holder!
See how nicely it folds up???
They had several colors to choose from and I
think I may need to pick up a few more.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have
had a wonderful stitchy weekend!
Now....I have to get back to some
exchange stitching!!!
happy stitching...
