Handmade Gifts and Cards From the Heart

It was such a blessing and so much fun last month getting to spend time with good friends and enjoying some ono food as I celebrated my b-day. Wish I could have flown in my long distance good friends to celebrate but I know that they were with me in spirit as I was celebrating. Last month I shared some of the good food that I enjoyed but I did not post any of the crafty gifts and cards that I received.  I was very touched by each of the thoughtful cards and gifts that I received.  So that this post is not a mile long I will post only the handmade ones.  Sandy made this HI print purse for me.  She is the one that helped me sew the Hello Kitty scarf a few months ago.

Another friend named Sandy made bulletin board for me with coordinating jars and supplies in my favorite color in each one. 

She also decorated a notepad and a case of paperclips for me.

Lorraine made filled this jar up with lots of fun crafty products and decorated the top for me.

These are the fun and creative cards I received.

A card from Nancy and one from Fran.

A card from Karen and one from Gail.  (The tag that Gail made opens up into a card.)

    

                                         

Esther made a super cute envelope with HK DSP for the purple card that she made.  She also made a smaller envelope for a HK book.

Besides receiving the above handmade gifts and cards I also received some other crafty products that I gladly add to my collection- several dies, a duffle bag to hold my craft supplies, stamps, glitter makers, the perfect positioner (It's a mat that I use with my Big Shot to hold dies in place.), and a hot and cold desk size laminator.  My hubby and kids got me the new Big Shot Plus and a purse.  Aside from crafty products I received gift cards, a battery operated fountain, and money/checks.  Have a blessed and crafting weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
