My Goodies From Melissa's Giveaway~

Hi everyone! It's here! It's here!

I had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the package of goodies I won from Melissa's Birthday Giveaway,

http://melissasheartandhome.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-birthday-giveaway.html

Saturday there was a knock at the door and the waiting was over!

Here it is!!

I opened up the box and....

and everything was wrapped in pretty tissue paper.

There was also a very sweet message on a note card from Melissa!

Well now.... Here's what I did with all the goodies!

I put the darling little sign with the sweet verse and birdie on it from the giveaway, above this arrangement I had made from items I bought on my last thrift store shopping spree.

I decided to change out the pictures that were originally in the gold frames.

In case you forgot how they looked before here's the link to the post from when I bought them:

I thought these new prints looked look so cute,

and go well with the the sign too.

Be sure to click the pic to enlarge so you can get a close up look!

Unfortunately
this darling little frame got a bit damaged in during shipping.

But not to worry....

A little glue and paint, and I don't think anyone would ever notice.


Isn't this the cutest?!!


I placed it center stage on the mantel in my living room!




These adorable strawberry salt and pepper shakers (below)
have darling little bee's on them,
I just love them to pieces!!!


They make such a cute addition to my other little S&P shakers too!!


I'm sure they'll get moved around a few times before I find the ideal spot.


After all the fun and and excitement, I got a bit thirsty!


So of course I had to try out the peach tea!

....ahhh refreshing!

This was all such a wonderful treat for me!
I felt like it was my birthday!

Thank you so much for your generosity especially on your birthday, Melissa!
You are such a special person!!!
