Fall Findings Swap

Over at  Some Days are Like Diamonds we did an altered cigar box lined with fun fall goodies.. I got to swap with Nancy at Coeur d'Alene  man have you seen her stuff.. I am a bit intimidated to say the least..all very, very beautiful...here take a look for yourselves at the beautiful, beautiful things she sent me...
the outside..
this tag is so awesome..
and she hasn't been feeling well at all..please stop over and send her some good health wishes..

the inside jam packed full

look at this lovely stuff...

aren't these just so adorable and soft

my grand-daughter and I are so making some of these soon...beautiful seashells.

I feel so very spoiled. 

thanks Nancy

Well I dived in and come up with something I hope she will just love... here is how it all started

and I started with this

paper and lace

then I added some of this

close up it looks like this...

I filled it with all of this...

some fall fun things

and my vintage find one day with added laces

some 3-D Scarecrow magnets

a coaster with some fun fall bells

a handmade vintage tag

A charm to start our friendship

some lovely all natural soap

and some very fun All Hallows Eve vintage tags

and the inside of the box empty

I love decorating these boxes...I just loved how this turned out...I had fun finding things to fill it with and was excited to mail it off to Nancy..

I was so excited to see what I recieved

Happy Fall Y'all
