WELCOME 2012 - the old Year 's in the BOX - and a GIVE AWAY !

Happy New Year to all my Blog friends and followers !
Of course I also want to wish that everything you wish will come true for you this year. I can now continue with my "waiting-to-be-published" posts. In this one I will share two cute boxes I made as Christmas gifts for my Mum and sister. They got a little delayed on the sleigh-ride, so they opened them last night on New Years Eve. I first woodburned the design and the words in the wood and then gave them a paintwash and painted the details. They both have some glitter and goldleaf happening (that doesn't always show up on the photos so they are even better i.r.l.)

I made some cards with the images as well, they are so cute and available in my Etsy shop now.

Waiting to be published #1

 -A: a small canvas-

Here's the first of the non-posted items that had to wait for Christmas Day to pass. This one is about the Secret Santa I entered through Whoopidooings

 and I made some things for it, couldn't share them earlier obviously, I hope the recipient enjoyed what I packed up and sent flying on Santa's Sleigh accross the globe, (A,B and C) apparently she likes RED......

-B: a bunch of RED and JAPANESE/ORIGAMI related things-

 -C: and a little altered board book with more papers etc. in the back- 

I thoroughly enjoyed what I received ! I mean look at the gorgeous parcels and what was in them ! Love that quote by Tim Burton (I am a fan if you didn't know that yet...) "One Person's Craziness is another person's reality"

I feel so spoiled...... Thank you Carmen !

 

 another beautiful gift I got from under our tree and I really want to share is this little Eau de Parfum, it came in the most amazing box and the little bottle is divine too ! It's by John Galliano. Haven't even smelled it yet, was just too mesmerized by the packaging.....

 

Hope you too feel blessed and spoiled
