Swap Contents from Mexico

I don't post RAKS or other items received on this blog because I'm always afraid I will leave one off; however, this is a huge exception because I wanted to share the contents of a recent swap with a dear friend, Donna, who moved to San Miguel Aleande, Mexico.  Just look at the wonderful items she included and also note the envelope near the bottom right that she decorated so beautifully.  My mind is filled with gratitude and also numerous ideas to make something special from the contents.  Can't you just envision a pendant from the tiny nichos?  The only item that I asked if she would tuck in the packet was some Day of the Dead paper because it is very difficult to find in Idaho.  She included numerous cards and a mounted card on fabric just for me.  The ribbons and lace are exquisite and each item was wrapped  in green tissue; it was like opening gifts at holiday time.  I feel like a queen today.    Thank you, my dear friend.
