When Karen of A SCRAPBOOK OF INSPIRATION hosted her wonderful Christmas Fair, she also included as part of her post a fantastic "giveaway"---and I was the lucky, lucky winner!
This was what I saw when I first opened the box from Karen.
She had included one of her original Christmas cards!
Then there was this magnificent print and - - - -
a beautiful red box---tied with a lovely ribbon---and when I opened it - - - -
I found MORE of Karen's artwork in the form of Thank You notes and gift tags and - - - - -
the sweet ornament which was Karen's Inspiration!!!!
THE STONE RABBIT agreed with me, that I was an extremely lucky gal to have received such a treasure from the talented Karen!
Thank you so much!!!
DANA

Hi Dana, lucky you to win the lovely art. How sweet her artwork is. She is so talented and her cards and notes are fun and useful too.
We are getting very cold weather here too. The low tonight is 5 degrees. Tomorrow night 7 degrees. That is very cold for NC. brrrrr.
Thanks for the compliment about Beverly's re-post. She is a sweet friend and special to me along with her family. she posted that before I started blogging. I appreciate all of the kind comments about me but it is somewhat embarrassing for her to post about me like that. LOL.
I have to post for tomorrow so I better get going.
Hugs to you Dana...Jeanne

You were certainly a lucky lady! The stone rabbit looks so content with his new friend... ♥

Dana,
Thank you for this wonderful post. I love your story telling. You can create magic on every post with your gift. I am glad that she got there safely. I told you, standing on line at the post office, I gulped remembering that I had forgotten the bubble wrap. She looks like she made the journey. And I am so glad that the Stone Rabbit liked her too.
Karen
