Cupcake Swap goodies

What a surprise when I came home today and found a box sitting on my front porch. Actually I had 2 boxes, the one was some sewing, embroidery, and crocheting books...The books were nice and exciting but nothing like the 2nd box.

The 2nd box contained my gift from my Cupcake Swap Partner, Heidi, over on her blog, Foxgloves,Fabric and Folly. She has a beautiful blog, with incredible artwork.

Sent sent me beautifully wrapped goodies. Each prize was wrapped so beautifully.

I received a Cupcake book, a Cupcake, tags, die cuts and ribbons, and some beautiful flowers on my ribbons. Also enclosed was a beautiful card and envelope.

Isn't my Cupcake just darling....I love the blue with the little "sprinkled" beads with a Cherry on top. So CUTE!!!!

The cute little tags even have cupcakes stamped on them....

There is 3 beautiful blue ribbons and some die cuts also. What a Bunch of wonderful exciting gifts. And a tag with my name on it...

Heidi, thank you again for such beautiful gifts. I dearly love them.

Hugs,
