I’ve been putting this off way too long…

I knew the 7th day of Christmas page would be difficult to write about.
Gina Wise, the wonderful artist who created this page, passed away suddenly before the swap had even ended. She had already completed hers and sent them off.

What a beautiful page! The background has so much depth…more than I am able to show in this photo.

And wait until you see the handmade box she created to house her page!

The box is a treasure in itself.

I miss you Gina…you’re wit, you’re kind words, you’re friendly advice.

Rest in Peace my friend…

I opened the second of Elizabeth’s pages. I love the texture on the goose…

We ar half way through the pages and I have yet to start the covers of my book. It will wait I suppose.

Today is being spent baking… I’ve used almost 5lbs of flour and a dozen eggs already!!

I finally got around to opening this one. The kids may be disappointed that I opened it without them but not likely…we just have to much going on for them to notice!

This package was wrapped in a pretty napkin and ribbon…both of which I’m saving for future projects!

Just look at the wonderful page Connie made for 5 Golden Rings!
