Happy Birthday to Debi! Happy Birthday to me!
Last year, Debi and I discovered that we share the same birthday (today!) and we did a birthday swap -- which was so much giddy-fun we decided to do another.
I suggested we keep our swap to what could fit into a 6'x6' shipping box.
Each gift from Debi is like walking into a Stampington publication dream world. Everything she creates is incomprehensibly inventive and inspiring. In a word: dazzling.
{All photos are click-to-enlarge}
Thank you so much, Debi, for making me feel as giddy as a little girl on my birthday. I hope-hope-hope that you are happy with your presents from me.
That's me in the saddle shoes with the punch-mustache (punchstache?). Oh wait, that's almost everyone pictured! I'm in the striped dress.

Happy day!!!
Oh Elyse- Happy, Happy Birthday sweet girl. I can't imagine what fun you two creative, and talented, girls had opening each other's gifts. The stuff you are showing is just beautiful...simply beautiful and I'm sure the receiver on the other end has something equally wonderful. I mean..how could she not when it's coming from someone that made the most beautiful clothespins I have ever seen.
Happy Birthday, Tinkergirl-You looked sweet even as a little girl. xxoo Diana
Sending you oodles of Fun for the day my friend....Happy happy birthday..hope you get spoiled!
love and hugs.

HI Elsye!
Happy Birthday sweetie!
I hope it was a good one! Mine is coming up at the end of October, But I'm not looking forward to the number lol ;)
Thanks for stopping in and making my day! I really love these mini's so much! I was actually thinking of you a lot lately, I have always adored your little treasures and if I had to invent a mini cake box, I'd imagine that it would have all your sweet embellishments and papers as wrapping! So lol, the next question is, can I commission you to do little boxes for my cakes? I know life is so busy and it might be something you can'd do right now, but think about it and let me know, send me an email if you think it's something you'd be interested in :)
I'd but up all your little matchbox treasures if I knew I could squeeze a cake in there lol ;) But I don't think they'd fit. Hmmm, maybe I could use some for cookies though?? Don't mind me, I'm thinking out loud :) I'm heading over to your Etsy right now, I have always loved those little boxes!
Have a good weekend my Friend! Big Hugs, Cyn xo
