Guess what I found in my mailbox today? A handmade gift from lovely nette!
This truly made my day – all the cute stuff pictured below was handmade by her. A couple of weeks ago, nette posted about “Pay it Forward 2011“. It’s a chain mail about friendship and sharing, and, as I saw on her site the first 5 people who commented on her post would receive handmade gift from her. I was the lucky enough to be number 5! It must be admitted that Nette did allow me to cheat, because although I posted, I did not post about “Pay it Forward 2011″thinking that there had already been 5 people ahead of me. But Nette kindly let me know that it wasn’t the case and allowed me to be the 5;)
I’m just truly amazed by her craftmanship:
I received a stuffed elephant for the baby, a small mirror with my initial cross stitched on, a pale pink mini bag, and a pin.
I haven’t bought diaper bag yet, and I’m not sure if I will – but this mini tote will be perfect to hold a couple of diapers, wipes, bottles and other necessities. I will be using this along with my regular bag to go out! Oh I’m so excited.
I know Nette intended this cutest elephant for my baby, but this little guy is way too cute – so he will stay in my bedroom for a while!!
This is how “Pay it Forward 2011” works, a quote from Nette’s blog:
Then, about the most exciting part, make and send a handmade gift to the first 5 visitors who comment and commit to do the same. “
