This is the present that Ester sent me for her
1 Year Specky Surprise. It's just as wonderful and amazing as it looks! The rainbow balloon is made of shiny beads, and Amitie has pink blushing cheeks. So cute! I was wondering why she called it a Specky Surprise, and the cute little tag around my gift cleared things up:
For every speck of fun you give another, you receive an echo of that fun yourself.
How super sweet is that?!? It's
decaying, as she would say. :)
Ester probably has no idea how *happy* she makes me all the time. I still carry around the
owl needlebook she made for me -- and it makes me smile every time I see the hand stitched "Hoot Alice Hoot" on the front. Her comments are always so full of sunshine that they are almost too bright to read. And she's totally hilarious. Her current header tag line is, "whimsical crafting and lousy thoughts." :)
And, her creations are so wonderful and inspiring. She creates the most intricate, delicate, and whimsical tiny felt houses, like
Blue and Enchanted and
this brown and green one. And look at this
pile of handmade gifts she made for a swap.
You should definitely add Ester's
blog to your reader. She'll delight you in so many ways!
