Birthday Extravaganza

It was a birthday extravaganza today and it's not even my birthday yet!! A package from sweet sweet Staci arrived a few days ago and with my infamous self control I didn't touch it until today when I finally opened it (with Staci's blessing). O, how I wish I had done it days ago, then I would have been able to feast my eyes on THIS that much longer!!

A whole stack of the most beautiful original hand-dyed pieces of fabric, aka Staci-dyeds all for me!!! There are 28ct's, 32ct's and they're all GORGEOUS!!!

And the Prairie Schooler floss ring tag and scissors fob...??? Are your eyes poppin' out yet, feel something dribbling from the corner of your mouth? Does the word perfection spring to mind? YES, I hear you cry! Hands off, they're mine...LOL!!!

My goodness, didn't she spoil me?!? The floss ring tag and scissor fob are SO incredibly pretty and delicate and the attention to detail is awe-inspiring!
And did you see the little ducks? Just looking at them makes me smile and they taste darn good too!! They're mints, did I neglect to mention that? You can't really see in the picture, but they came in a little tin shaped like a bathtub... Too cute!

Gifts to be treasured always. Staci, if this is your revenge... Thank You!!

Sooooooooooo hee, wat een verwennerij!!! Het valt me trouwens wel een beetje van je tegen dat je toch gezwicht bent :o)

Wat een prachtige kleuren hebben die fabriekjes en wat een onwijs mooie floss ring tag en floss fob. Zucht. Zucht en snot, mag ik wel zeggen, want dit cadeautje herinnert me eraan dat je wel heel snel jarig bent en dat ik wel heel weinig over cadeautjes heb nagedacht!

I had sooo much fun making all this for you :) Although I almost had a big "oops" moment putting the eyelet in the floss tag~~there was barely (and I mean BARELY) enough space at the top!!!

I can't wait to see the project you have in mind for the fabrics and I'm glad the mints taste good (as opposed to just looking cute!) And I'm glad the tin didn't get dented en route.

Wishing you a very, very Happy Birthday week dear friend!!! {{hugs}}

Wow, what a selection. I am absolutely drooling over those fabrics.
Happy Birthday....a feeble little card is on it's way to you. No stash I'm afraid, just best wishes for a delightful day.
