Boy was I surprised when I got the mail yesterday. There was a lovely package .. most unexpected .. a sweet gift from Calamity Kim. Ohhhhh does she know how to wrap a gift. Look at how charming this was. I almost didn't want to open it.
Look, do you see what's peeking out from the ribbon? Here's a closer look:
Finally the suspense was killing me, I had to rip it open. As the paper tore off I began to grin because this is what I uncovered:
Yes, it's one of her collaged journal beauties. This one has some of her Alice in Wonderland Spoonflower fabric! Ohhh and just take a look at all those bookmarks.
Here's the back with some of Jane Sassaman's bright caterpillar fabric:
And to top it off, Calamity Kim even glued in this fabulous marbled paper in the inside cover. I love the colors ... it reminds me of water, and did you see the bee fabric?
I snuck a peek underneath and saw that the composition notebook's original cover has been decorated as well. Thank you soooo much Calamity Kim!!! It's perfect in every way.
Oh alright, I know you want to see the chicken again. Here she is:
Ooo, lucky you!!!

hey- I am up in Pittsburgh for 2 weeks with my sister and am just reading emails. I wanted to come say(*<>*) so glad everything is ok with your results! I would love you no matter what you ever looked like so if you loose an eye and have to wear a patch or a leg and have to get a peg- it wouldn't matter to me one bit! not making light- I am just saying you would still be you and you are wonderful!
love, kim
