This amazingly sweet and talented and generous east coast gal blessed this little desert dweller with a beach fantasy escape! She didn't even know I DREAM to live by the ocean, she just shared some of her favorite things ... according to the swap rules ... set by According-to-Kelly.Let's dig in I'm so excited! (No touching kiddos - this is a MOMMY gift! Let's pacify them with the beautiful ribbon so I can oogle my gorgeous goodies!) This exquisitely framed beach photo was taken by her talented hubby! MY hubby likes the super hip wood fish salad tongs as much as I do! Two design mags - does this girl have taste or what?! AND ... drum roll please ... a hurricane with two starfish frosted on the sides, plus pebbles to go in the bottom to hold a candle!! I'm just giddy - it's Christmas in July!!!
Dei, you were too kind. I couldn't have been more DEI-lighted!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everyone, please go check out this uber-talented seamstress on her blog: http://deisdelights.blogspot.com. You won't believe the creations she whips up and her fabulous eye for style! No doubt she'll be taking orders, soon!!Well, as long as I'm in here, I'll show you a quick little piece that I did for my part of the swap for Dei. I had learned her favorite color was pink, so decided to spruce up the tin bucket I was going to use to hold her treats:
I painted the outside of the bucket pink, and by using a homemade stencil, left her initial to show thru in the ivory. I printed out a "D" in a nice font to the exact size. Cut it out and glued it firmly, but temporarily in place on the bucket. 
I removed it promptly after spraying. And here was the finished product!! 
Thanks to Kelly for a great swap and to Dei for your thoughtful gifts!!!

Your words are just far too kind. Talented graphic designer and writer, you are. You are gracious in word and thoughtfulness. I am so glad you enjoyed your gifts. And by the way, I so love my personalized bucket that it now resides on my desk.
