More Matchbox Mania.....

OMG !!
Look what beauties arrived in the mail today....
*Swoon* Vintage bingo cards covered in lace !!
vintage pic
and a lil package tied in lace with my name on it...
-oOo-
I'm still addicted to swapping these little inspiration boxes...
Jessica  from (Kids napping? I'm scrapping!) and I, were having withdrawl symptoms from Heather's petite Inspiration Swaps!
....so when she agreed to swap a matchbox,
I just knew it was going to be a fabulous trade.
I mentioned to Jessica, that I liked vintage and dress-forms 
and this is what she created for me....
How gorgeous is this !
I adore it.
...and crammed full with everything I LOVE...
more beautiful lace,
flowers,
tags,
vintage buttons (My fave crafty thing!)

and a cute smaller matchbox filled with beads..

and that's not all, Jessica also sent me one of her amazing tiny books!

Thank you sooooo much Jessica...
-oOo-
and this is what I sent to Jessica...
Jessica hinted at colour schemes/themes  that she liked
this is the matchbox I  altered and I also made Jessica a lil mini book too.
-oOo-
filled with goodies
Like me, Jessica is also a tad crazy about buttons !
So I sent her a little jar full of them.
You can never have too many buttons !! Hey Jessica ;)

Thanks for Looking !
