Every Day Is A Blue Ribbon Day

I just couldn't resist sharing this special little box with you! This was a birthday gift from my dear friend Kay of Sweetwater Studio, who is an AMAZING artist (and I sure hope she doesn't mind me sharing photos with you). She is so extremely creative and talented...she makes FABULOUS small works of art and does all sorts of book binding...along with teaching classes on bookmaking. To me, everything she creates is spectacular....and this special little box is no exception. From the blue ribbon on the lid...to the flowers on the inside of the lid...to the treasures found inside (two pieces of Silk Dupioni and a tiny bag of antique buttons), this box is "perfect"...I have been drooling on it since I received it!

If you are in the Des Moines area and would like information on Kay's six new classes at Pure Paper, shoot me a message and I will forward her class email (with photos and details) to you....
