Prairie Schooler Christmas exchange from Elisabeth

Elisabeth is one of the most lovely cross stitch friends I met through Internet, be it via a yahoo group or this blog. We've been chatting offlist and offblog for a long time about all the usual things two woman chat about :) And we were planning a private exchange for some time, but then life got in the way, Elisabeth moved into a new house, I broke my hand... so we were delighted to be partnered for the Prairie Schooler's Christmas exchange. I already posted my exchange piece some weeks ago, but now see the absolute beauty Elisabeth stitched for me!
This is one of the PS Angels which colors she adapted and added beads. Oh, the delight on my face when I opened the package... Oh the joy! Those who had the pleasure to received something her talented hands made know that her work is a true masterpiece... I borrowed the first two pictures from Elisabeth's blog because my camera wouldn't do justice to this beautiful piece.


What a superb finishing on the back... sorry for the blurred picture!

Heh, wasn't I spoiled? Elisabeth sent me Isabelle's Vaultier 'Red and white Samplers' book which I had eyes on for quite some time... And a little heart ornie, and the cutest notepad with dogs (we both love dogs!), and this fantastic French ribbon that looks like a measuring tape, which I'll save for that future very special project, plus a little heart button and a huge package of chocolate candies, a local delicacy from Elisabeth's town. Now, guess why I couldn't make a picture of them some days later! LOL

Did I tell you I surprised myself by making little happy sounds when opening all the wrapped-up packages... like a little child. Oh yes, I was happy, I was delighted.... Thank you so much again, Elisabeth, this was a wonderful exchange!!
