I'm a lucky girl !!!

Just look at the goodies that I received today !
I commented on 2 of my favorite blogs and was selected to receive a gift package.  Can you believe it?  Maya Road chipboard and Bingo buttons (maybe I should pick from these numbers showing to play Lotto).  Tim Holtz lace chain (yum) and masks.  And my favorite surprise - purple Maya Mist, and blue Perfect Pearls Mist.  I just love Ranger products, and Wendy Vecchi is a fantastic artist and beautiful person inside and out.  If you ever get the chance to take a class with her, JUMP AND RUN - she is so inspiring, patient and talented.  Gee what should I make first?????  

my little secret - what's on the inside ???

Remember the box?

Plain, like a white canvas staring at you.

Where is my magic wand, I need to turn this into a Victorian Memory Box...........

Sorry it took sooo long, you know how it is, you're so excited to jump into a new project - especially a commissioned one for someone special ;-) 

Then real life gets in the way !!!!!!!!!!!  
I never found my wand so I grabbed some gorgeous paper from my Mariposa stack, and my Tim Holtz treasures - Metal feet, keyholes, charms, keys.  Found my Maya Road felt flowers in black, some lace trim, fibers, ribbon, a tag, and a crystal knob.  OH! I saved a little surprise for the inside of the box.  What do you think she'll see when she lifts the lid????   Pop in tomorrow and I'll show you.
