Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed me to make sure I'm ok, I was really touched. I had suffered from a computer failure and haven't been able to either post or keep up to date with what everyone has been doing.
My last real post was about the handmade christmas swap and as you'll know I was linked with the lovely Liz from Lululiz in LaLaLand. She sent me a wonderful parcel and I really must show everyone how generous she was.
A beautiful card, Liz said that she hadn't made any cards before...well her first attempt was lovely.
Opening up my box I found a stunning collection of beautifully wrapped goodies, just waiting to be delved into.
Liz had thoughtfully labelled up the christmas decoration, so that I would know which I could open.
and there it was a gorgeous padded christmas tree, complete with it's own little wooden stand
I think Liz thougth I'd have a ltttle self control, but I'm afraid not........once I'd started I had to carry on and open the other goodies she'd sent me ;-)
And the first little package was a fabulous crocheted flower brooch, complete with little beaded 'petals', and attached to a lovely stamped card.
Next came a lovely handmade soap from Liz's own toiletry range, from her hand made body care company La Croix Roison Soap Company
and then a gorgeous balm from the same..
in a wonderful art deco tin
and last by definitely not least, a beautiful spiral bead bracelet, very delicate and lovely in shades of brown and blue.
not that it looks like it from this photo..............but I have very small wrists and hands and find it almost impossible to get bracelets to fit, but this made a lovely change.
A lovely package of gorgeous gifts
Thank you so much Liz and I'm very sorry I haven't been able to show off your generosity sooner, still better late than never I hope :0)
Normal blogging service should be resuming soon........
Take care everyone and keep warm!

Awww, big hug to you, I am so glad to see you back in blogland! Tehehehe, I had forgotten about the package already, lol, I was gobsmacked when I just saw your post! Thank you so much for being so kind and saying such lovely things.
Now get your backside into gear and make sure you post lots, much to catch up on, I am sure.
Oh that Liz is such a generous kind lady! She does make such wonderful things, especially her soaps.
Now I am feeling so bad because that letter I wrote never got sent, instead it got mixed up in other papers and forgotten about. I'm so sorry and I will endevour to write a new one really soon. Thank you also for the lovely Christmas card. Mine are still on that same bench making me feel ever so guilty as well. Please forgive me!
What a lovely box of surprises! Glad you are back again.

What a lovely lot of presents - especially liking the bracelet!
Nice to see you back! I was linked with Lululiz too, and her parcel was just as thoughtful, in different colours! such generous gifts.
Glas to see you back! Liz makes such lovely things - we have just finished a bar of her soap in our bath (sob).
Glad you are back. What a lovely selection of gifts. You are a very lucky lady.
