Hi all, Well I received my package today from Llady llanalla and boy am I impressed.  Acutally now I'm scared.  hehe.. I just had to start all over from scratch because the paint I was using was so thick I couldn't close the tin again. 
Anyway enough about that...... On to the pictures!
This is a picture of the whole package as it came out of the envelope.

This is a picture of the lining of the bag.  It is a very pretty green leafy
print on yellow fabric.  I love yellow. 

This is a picture of the top of the tin all decorated.  I know it is kind of dark but it came out better without the flash.  I love this ribbon embroidery.  It is so pretty, I have always wanted to learn how to do it. 
I'm not a girly girl but there are just some things.....

This is a picture of the bottom of the tin.  It has pretty purple flowers on it.  (one of my themes was yellow with purple, just love the contrast.)

In this picture you can see all of the trinkets that were packed into the tin.  There are 2 soaps, purple buttons, yellow buttons, purple glitter, little purple stones (are they sticky back or do you use some sort of glue?), Purple beads, two little hair clips, and a beautiful pendant.

Here is a close up of the pendant.  It is beautiful. It reminds me of that candy that you get at christmas time that has the shapes in it.  like they are made of long tubes and then cut into short pieces.  It looks like that only all squished together. I love it.  I just need to find a ribbon or cord or something to string it on and I'll be wearing it.

This is a tiny notebook that llanalla made me.  It is stuffed with all sorts of fairy picures.  I can't even imagine trying to make a book that small. 

And here is a picture of all of the goodies that were in the book.  I will be using them for all sorts of things.  Aren't they cute.

And last but not least....here is a close-up of the squished fairy picture she sent me.  I looked at a calendar of squished fairies this year that was done by the same artist.  I think they are the neatest pictures. 

Thank you so much llanalla for all of my goodies.  I can hardly believe what you managed to fit in.  I was really spoiled.
Thanks again,
Shawna
