Thankful Thursday!

These presents came in the mail for my birthday July the 4th.
From my dear friend Lolo!
I just love the way they were wrapped in, done with so much care and love , like the way she is.
The most wonderful presents! Love the ink by Authentic Models, they look so pretty. Nearly too pretty to open...... The peacock feather card, a mandala hanger
An Amethist and a soap stone (I love soap stone!) sleeping cat
And Last but not least this gorgeous ceramic sculpture, which is a bottle, by Jill Taylor.
Lolo, you have spoiled me rotten!
Thanks a million dear!
besides presents I got a lot of ATC's in the mail.
These wonderful ones are by Teri, master of watercolors and Haiku's. She combined the two in a fabulous series of Haiku's made for the ABC ATC's exchange.
The 2 yellow feather were a present from her bird Sunshine.
Oh I love Sunshine, both the bird and the real thing.......
Thanks Teri for your special ATC's and the feathers!
Lisa sent me this wonderful caterpillar! On gorgeous paper, which I will search around the world :)
Thanks Lisa, loved all your butterflies and caterpillars!
Mail from BT! V= for Variety , a gorgeous colorful card.
Look at the turtle who crawled out of the envelop!
Thanks BT! Love the card.
Patty's T = for Totem Pole, done in her fabulous scissor art!
I also received the book Carina which I ordered from Patty. Signed by the author! Well how cool is that!
Thanks Patty, hope to read it soon.
And last but not least "Sin"by Lynn, one of her famous Hebrew letters.
And A card "magnify your life"
Thanks Lynn, always love the things you create!
You see so much to be thankful for!
The weather has been gorgeous here and will stay that way :)
Tomorrow I will go to Paramaribo. Only a short trip, I will be home on Sunday. In time to enjoy the rest of the wonderful weather.
Hope you have a lot to be thankful for!
Happy TT!
