I received a rose in the mail that smelled like lavender!
I won Celestina Marie’s giveaway this past week
and the package came in the mail today...
smelling of lavender!
Her giveaway was for this beautiful hand painted box and heart....
but she filled the package with treasures....
and treats! (and a little packet of fragrant lavender!)
I’ve never seen a package so beautifully wrapped!
There was gift wrapping, tissue paper, netting, ribbons and roses!
Just opening it was a delight!
Thanks Celestina Marie!
Visit her blog HERE and her ETSY shop HERE !
I hope everyone feels as special as I do today!
More Florida flowers for all of my friends.....
This is a Saucer Magnolia tree...
And this bloom is especially for Carmelina !
She always takes the time to answer
my art related questions.... and to be my friend!
AND she loves pretty flowers!
All of them taken today at Sholom Park!
Enjoy your weekend!

Beautiful! What a treat to receive a gift like that!
Oh how lovely and how special you must feel. Those treasures are adorable. ;-)
Hi Diane,
I am so glad you are enjoying your gifts. Your pics are great and it is so kind of you to mention your win, my shoppe and blog too.
You are such a special lady and so happy your name was pulled from the Pink Cowgirl Hat by my hubby.
The flowers are lovely in your area at Sholom Park. I have the same saucer magnolias, but they are not in bloom yet. We need a few more warm days.
Yes, you are right, we have a crazy busy weekend fine tunning the remainder of the project.
Have a great weekend and thanks again sweet friend.
Hugs from Texas

What a great win!... and I have never heard of that kin dof magnolia..what a beautiful fuscia color...
Hello! What a very special win! How delightful - couldn't have happened to a nicer person! Love the flowers - my neighbor has a saucer Magnolia between our properties - I love them! The snapdragons and the azaleas are so lovely,
Hope you have a wonderful weekend,
Kathy
What a lovely post. I love Celeste, and her giveaway is gorgeous. She was one of the first people to visit me years ago on my blog.
I also love Creative Carmelina, Her blog is wonderful. She is a gifted artist as well.
In answer to your question about what kind of journal to use. One of the most famous ones that every artist adores is the Moleskin. I do watercolor allot and they have a watercolor one. Moleskin allows you to create in all kinds of mediums and it is dreamy paper to work on.
Another fun thing to do is make your own journal, connect it with rings and then you can add any kind of paper you want. The nice thing about this is that if you are away somewhere and doodling while you are waiting somewhere, when you come home you can put it in your journal. Here is a favorite resource for dreamy supplies:

how wonderful to see beautiful flowers instead of the snowscape I have outside my windows.... it's still -17C here and well.... sitting here with a steaming mug of coffee...looking at flowers and greener seems a good thing to do... next... I think I'll bake something so I can turn on the stove......
WONDERFUL win!!SO much to enjoy!
Good for you.
