Here Again

I hope you haven't all given up on me! Life has been a bit hectic of late as I changed jobs and took a trip home. I am still living in NYC and life is good! I'll try to catch up on some posts in the near future!

Here are a few photos from home!

Happy May Day!

I won't be able to get to it until busy season ends, but you will receive something uniquely amazing!

Early Birthday Surprise!!!

There is only one person who would be sending me a package from Canada - - - Carla!! And by the shape, there was only one thing that it could possibly contain . . .
A beautiful book!!! Hand-made by Carla! I know my birthday is still a week and a half away, but I couldn't resist opening it.

Isn't the pattern absolutely gorgeous?! So elegant and pretty.

The colors and decals created a perfect combination.

I LOVE the font that she used - - - it is consistent throughout the whole book.

Did I mention that Carla surprised me with a POP-UP BOOK?!!! The photos don't do it justice. When I turned to the first pop-up page and saw the image literally come off the page I laughed with joy - it was so perfect.

Notice the star - - - stars are my favorite shape - - - and when the book is opened the top point of the star unfolds and rises off the page.

The construction to create the pop effect was very intricate and very well executed.

I love all of the little tiny details.

All those other pages are my journal (copies of my weekly letter).
I love it!
This is the FOURTH book that Carla has made for me. Isn't she so talented and amazing?? It is always such a lovely surprise to receive something from her.

Thank you Carla!
