UStamp with Dawn and Friends Swap Arrived

I opened the front door this morning to a small package delivered by my friendly postman. Well I did get a little, well a big surprise when there was a hole in the box, and then I noticed the package was from my UStamp with Dawn and Friends Swap Sister, Maria Pane and my excitment turned to frustration when the lovely chocolates inside had been eaten my a visitor - yes a mouse! The South Australian Mail Centre had stuck a sticker on saying it was like this when they received it. So off to the Post Office a couple of time and a phone call and I have lodge a compensation claim, but at least the cards are still in beautiful condition and one of the containers have not been nibbled at.


I love the cards and mini milk carton and matching box with all those lovely butterflies.

UStamp with Dawn and Friends Swap

I received an email earlier this week to say that my UStamp with Dawn and Friends Swap Sister had received my package, so I could show you now what I created. It seems to have taken a little longer than I thought but Maria Pane informed me that in Maryland they have had snowstorms and the airports have been closed and mail has been delayed. Fingers crossed that Maria parcel arrives for me this week.

Wild About You

I created this card for a recent Stamp-A-Stack which was for children's cards. I was really happy with how this card turned out and the guests had lots of fun creating and they were creative in changing the animals to suit the person who was going to receive the card.
