WOO-HOO!! Karla's Tag Book arrives....

I was so excited the day

I found this exciting parcel

in our letter box!

I couldn't show you the envelope
it arrived in -
I tore it to shreds
trying to get inside as
quickly as I could!!

The tags were thoughtfully wrapped

in a book page from

a 1907 publication titled

"What I have done with Birds"

by

Gene Stratton-Porter

how clever is that!!

Karla's tag just

took my breath away

(and she made 150 of these tags)

just look at this detail

a sweet little bluebird

singing in her cage

Suzanne's tag is exquisite

I love "pretty" so I'm a

huge fan of hers.

Lilla's adorable tag.

I was so happy when I

found Lilla's tag

in the bunch!

Most of you probably know

I'm a huge fan of hers

(and we're friends too -

she's a fellow Kiwi after all)!

Lilla creates magic in her studio - 

"the sweetest French-styled art".

She also sells on Etsy

I wish I knew who made this sweet tag.

Sadly, I can't read the name

This is the reverse side.

In the top left corner
there is a signature.

may recognise the signature.

I would love to know who made it!

This pretty yellow chested birdie

Erica's tag has amazing detail.

is made of clay,

There is sewing,

more lace and

folded paper -

A very special

"Thank You"

to all the ladies

who made the beautiful tags

in my book.

It is sitting on my coffee table

and

everyone ooohs and aaahs over it!

Merci

This was my first swap

and I loved it!!

I'm trying to visit

all the people whose tags

were included in my book.

Thank you sweet Karla

for all the effort you put into this.

150 swappers - phew!!

That means you handled

over 1000 tags,

plus made 150 tags

(one for each book).

The logistics are mind-numbing!

Merci mon amie!
