... et on termine avec les papillons !

Pas de croix aujourd'hui, ou du moins pas les miennes :)
Un aperçu des cadeaux reçus avec des papillons...et quels papillons !
Je vous ai déjà dit que j'avais été pourrie gâtée ??!!
Attention...beaucoup de photos en perspective...

Une jolie carte et de non moins très beaux boutons sont arrivés de la part d'une amie du groupe français.
Maïté...encore plein de mercis !!! 


Ensuite c'est Lesley qui m'a gâtée elle aussi :)
Me sachant grande fan de l'Ecosse , elle m'a offert cet aimant à aiguilles avec des chardons écossais, et en plus...c'est violet :D
Parfait non ? C'est arrivé dans un chouette emballage 'couture', avec cette petite pièce servant à mettre le porte aiguille justement quand le projet en cours est trop petit pour l'aimanter dessus...


Un énorme merci encore Lesley pour ce cadeau qui m'accompagne tous les jours...et qui en plus d'être beau et vraiment très pratique !

Et puis il y a eu Rita !!
La torture numéro de la 'non ouverture des paquets arrivés avant le jour J' !!!!
Un gros paquet pesant son petit poids ....


....avec à l'intérieur un magnifique classeur réalisé à la main, en cartonnage et scrapbooking... de A à Z !!!!
On se demande si les mots pour remercier sont assez forts !! le mieux aurait été de voir ma tête quand le classeur est sorti de son paquet !!! =D


Le temps passé, le choix des papiers, la réalisation, la conception....c'est superbe !!!
Les encarts, les étiquettes....tout est vraiment superbe !!
Une fois encore, un million de mercis Rita ♥


Je vous laisse découvrir avec les photos la beauté de la chose :D
Moi je n'en reviens toujours pas !
En vrai, il est encore plus beau qu'en photos....
Je ne sais pas de quoi sera fait le prochain post mais promis, ce sera très vite....
A bientôt

As I promised....today we will go on with butterflies  :D
Such beautiful butterflies !!!
Beware, this post is full of pictures :D
Because of the French first part, there's less surprise of course, but I absolutely have to share everything with you :D
You saw the beautiful card & buttons that I received for a French friend, Maïté, who found the perfect buttons, doesn't she ?
Lovely wooden buttons with butterflies that I will soon use ! 

Then I have been spoilt by Lesley !!
She knows I'm an absolute fan of Scotland and she found the perfect needle minder for me !!! Scottish thistles and purple !!!
Isn't it a little wonder :D
It is so difficult to find needle minders here , even more such beautiful one !


It came along, wrapped in a cute 'sewing' paper, with a beautiful piece Lesley made , to help with needles when the project is a small one :D
Isn't it beautiful ?? 
Thank you so much Lesley for that precious gift, which, more than being beautiful is also very useful , and accompanies me everyday :D

Then, the day just before the Dday, another big and heavy parcel arrived. 
It was already a torture to have all these parcels I wasn't allowed to open...and that parcel became torture number 1 :D
Rita OVER SPOILT me with a folder, that she made from A to Z out of scrapbooking and cardboard creation !!!!
Isn't it an AMAZING thing ???!!!!


I'm still wondering if there are words strong enough to thank her !!!!
WOW !
I was so amazed by the Gorjuss one she made for Nia...and I had one in hands !! :D
You should have seen my face !!
All those butterflies, those beautiful and perfect pages, the choice of the papers (there's even a sonnet by Shakespeare in French somewhere ! I loooove Shakespeare ! ) 


All the time you spent creating this for me Rita....I'm really blessed ! 
It's impossible...I don't deserve everything I received !!
You all have been toooooo kind with me :) 


One million of thank you again Rita 
I'll treasure this book for years !! It's a real treasure.

Super Half has been very busy taking pictures for me those last days :D
Thank you for the beautiful one you made ....
Crazy, crazy, crazy March I had !!! And terrific birthday !
Because it is not finished, hehehe, owls, bunnies, butterflies...but I have some more goodies & gifts to show you :D


But it will be for another post...
I hope you stayed with until the end :D
I'm going to continue my day as a butterfly.....
I'll be back soon

  15. That's what is called a birthday bash !! :) Rita 's creation is absolutely wonderful !! :) How are you planning to use it ? Or just treasure it . Sometimes some things are so lovely, we don't know whether to use it or just treasure it, isn't it?
    What is a needle minder?

    1. wonderful indeed :D
      It's a real treasure....for the moment I only stored my charts to be stitched in it ;)
      But I'm sure I'll find some precious papers to store in the future...you're right, it's almost as if I didn't dare to touch it ;)
      a needle minder is a magnet (2 magnets in fact) and you put it on your fabric so that you never loose your needle anymore , it's very useful and this one is very beautiful :D
