Mother's day and a sweet tussie mussie surprise

On Friday I was waiting for that knock at the door I knew my tussie mussie from my swap partner and good friend Lou was turning up today, now normally my postie guy never rings the bell so this time I opened my windows to signal I was at home and you guessed he rang the doorbell.....
Presented me with a heavy box now normally I just rip it open before I even get in the door but I wanted to wait until I knew Lou was in the process of opening her's we wanted to open our's up together.......

So waiting  waiting for Lou to get online lol felt like forever but finally she did and I started to open up the jam packed boxes to start was this gift from Lou to my daughter Alicia and then all these beautiful goodies for me....
My tussie mussie I have hung on my prison mirror in the hallway where I can see it all the time, it's truly just beautiful Lou really has made me one that I truly love, and my gorgeous little birdie box is just so precious....
What did I get in my swap hello what didn't I get Lou gave me so much stuff it brought tears to my eye's everything she sent me I love.......
I got two pink Tim distress inks
Got loads of Prima flowers and the ones she got me were the ones that I had wanted but were sold out at my scrapping store this lady sure knows me well.
a Cavallini folder filled to the brim with some bird cards, a whole bunch of cavallini stickers, pink and cream dyed coffee filters and these ones are massive, prima journalling cards, some floral german scraps, and two sheets of printouts one with Marie in them.
And also some Pink Paislee artisan element swirls I so love these their gorgeous......
A charlotte doll
I got some much gorgeous ribbons, laces and trims
a box filled with art moulds
a floral tin filled with little paris tags, ruffled paper trims, the sweetest cherub's and more goodies galore.
Here is a photo of all the stuff Lou sent me I hope you can see it had to take at least four different photos to show it all off....

I have to say I was so gob smacked when I saw it all, but I have to say her friendship is the gift I treasure the most and I'm glad that we got to partner up and get to know each other thru this swap.......

Okay long post with lots of pictures but it's Mother's day today and I got most of my mother's day stuff yesterday as hubby was hoping to be working today the kids all put together and got me this little handmade quilt

From my hubby I got this little set of shabby cups and saucer's their so small and dainty and Alicia surprised me with this little cameo yesterday she spotted it at the craft table where they got my quilt how gorgeous is it.....
This i will treasure as she handpicked it for me with her own pocket money.

How lucky am I to have such a beautiful family and a lovely friend I am so spoilt.....
Wishing you all a fantastic day this mother's day......
