A great mix today!

Happy Wednesday!
I've got a lot to show you today so I'll keep the chit chat to a minimum....lol
First I wanted to show you some nice gifts I received yesterday!
Chloe's entire class each wrote me a thank you letter for helping them with a Celebration they had. Wasn't that sweet?! It was really nice to read each of the letters and it sure makes you feel appreciated for the volunteer work we do!
This next gift is from Angie from Chic n' Scratch. She sent me one of her very cool Chic n' Scratch stands! You must check them out on her blog! Thanks Angie! I can't wait to use it ;) Your card is adorable too!!
These next two cards are done using Amy's sketch with a twist on her blog Heartfelt Greetings. I had a lot of fun using the different designer papers!

What a sweet gift to receive from the students. You should put them in a scrapbook for the year with pictures of Chloe. What a treasure to keep! You've been really busy - wow all the cards are amazing. I especially love the little bee. I think it's that adorable paper. :)

WOW!! Dawn you are so amazing! You have created so many wonderful cards here. It would be one thing if they were just your average card but these are all FABULOUS... TOTALLY FABULOUS!! First I love the combination of DP's you used on the first two.. you have a fun card and an elegant one. Then the last two are so fun. The first with the cutout umbrella coming right out of the box and the glossy accented puddle is perfect. And the second with the cutout flowers is an absolute beauty. You are amazing!!
