A Sweet Box!

Last week the postman dropped off a pretty good size brown box.......like usual I can never wait to open any thing that arrives for me in the mail....well except for bills of course, I could live without opening another bill.....

Any Who......

Opening this package was sooo much fun!

It was the decorated Valentine Candy Box from Shirley at Zetta's Aprons!

Can you believe this box???

But Just wait!!!!


Stuffed full of Valentine fun!


Buttons, glitter, embellishments for crafting, vintage Valentines including a special one that belonged to Shirley's Aunt Jane.....if you've ever visited Shirley's blog, you know how important her family and her family history is to her...I am so fortunate to have received such a special Valentine!

Of course some candy too, and a small Valentine ornament made out of a section of a egg crate!

Shirley hit a home run with this swap!!!  I love my Valentine Candy Box!!

My Valentine Candy Box for Shirley is in the mail today.

  13. Hi Chris. Your beautiful Valentines arrived today. I just saw that another person posted pictures of the hearts she made for the swap that I haven't received. I am hoping they will be here soon. I never heard from her. So I will mail your hearts soon. I did a big mailing yesterday. Don't worry, I saved some goodies for you. Thanks for the extra sweet things you sent for me. Love that material.
