Some Surprises in the Mail and Joe Retakes the Pics of the Journal

Please take a look at the pics of my journal at my previous post dated March 2nd. I would appreciate that so much! The first pics that Joe took were taken inside and the flash really took away most of the details of what I did. Joe retook the pics today outside without the flash and all the colours and details really show up now. I was not happy with the first set, but now you can really see the details of each page of the journal. He really did take the pics so well now. Tell me what you think. I was so happy with the new pics, as I wanted to show you how it really looked. The only thing you can't do is turn the pages.

I got some surprises in the mail too. Some siggies arrived, and boy did I get some nice ones. First, Gene sent me a lovely siggy, and needless to say, he picked very colorful fabric. Knowing him, I was not surprised.LOL Then Anne from Germany sent me one with lovely green fabric, and Jena from Germany sent me a really cute cartoonish design in the middle...How cute!Helen from Australia sent me a wonderful koala bear and the Australian fabric is out of this world and the cutest card with kangaroos on it. It made me want to see Australia one day with Joe. Anya from Germany sent me a siggy with hand embroidered flowers in the centre. Finally, I got a beautiful siggy from Sylvia in Germany. The centre's witch reminded me of The Wizard of Oz...How incredible is that! Thank you all! Boy, is my quilt going to be special!
