Journal Swap on the Speckled Egg

Here is my second journal from the Speckled Egg swap. Its from Joyce Gleason, http://scrapforjoy.blogspot.com. It's beautiful She even made it personal for me by adding my initial. 

 Just look at the sweet buttons and key. Just lovely.

 To top it all off she sent me wonderful goodies too! Lovin the postcards(where did she find these?), the trim, and seam binding,  little tags, and vintage playing cards. Oh, and BONUS A bar of chocolate.

Thank you Joyce for the lovely journal and the great gifts! I cannot wait to use them!!

Art Journal Swap

....

I recently participated in a journal swap hosted by the "Speckled Egg". Today I received my Art journal from one of my swap partners.  Kim Johnson, her blog is http://whimsyandtheword.blogspot.com/. She makes the sweetest decorated domino necklaces and bottles. I love the colors and the vintage feel of it, the lace, ribbon and embellishments are very much up my alley...

She gifted me these vintage goodness, yummy envelopes, rick rack, buttons, and cool vintage cabinet cards.

Did I mention the pretty handmade flower pin? so pretty....

Here is the necklace she gifted me, so pretty,and very well made. I love it.

Thank You Kim for making this swap such a great experience. She emailed me that she was concerned that I might not like it, well stop worrying I love it!
