A R.A.K. for a sweet friend!

Happy Thursday everyone~
And again thank you so much everyone out in blogland, congrats to all my winner(s).   
Now, I have a little something that I wanted to show you all that I made for another sweet blogging friend that I've never met but always stopped by her blog because she has the cutest stamps and shares all the templates that she makes with her projects.  I commented on her blog, because what she had posted my daughter would of loved it because of the cute stamp.  By surprise she emailed me and said she would send it to me for my daughter, so I thanked her for it and sent her back my addy.  Well I received my package and she also sent me the stamp set, I was so very happy to receive that happy mail... It brought tons of smiles to both me and my daughter... So in return I made her something so she can place it on her crafting table so she will remember me by.
For personal reasons, I will not forward her name or blog, I will let her do it on her end if she wants to share it....
So for my gift to her this is what I made:
FYI I used paint to scratch her name off, love that program...

Back pack, post it note holder with pen,
goodie treat bag

A thank you card!

Here's those mailboxes!

my blog candy here!

I  have finally conquered those mailboxes that I was asked to do, and they are finally done! Yippee!   All (9) of them don't seem like much but it was doing them in between of my other projects and then turned out really really cute in real.   The image was from Whimsie Doodle (Mailed my Heart) and she is a freebie, I had her when she first came out, had her colored with Spectrum Noir and copic markers, stickles, papers from Simple Stories and Spellbinder rectangle scallops.

For my mailboxes:  I used my new Spellbinders postal die, heart brad from Joanne's, mail box from Artiste Cartridge cut at 3.5 computer generated all the names on the front attached to Spellbinder rectangle scallops,  I also attached the smaller heart from Spellbinder heart die to the smaller postal die that acts like a postage stamp,  the 3 x 3 note card included  will act like a postal mail included with a treat bag of goodies...
I'm hoping that all the recipients will enjoy and keep  their mailboxes as keepsakes...
