Wow! What a Gift!

About 2 weeks ago, The Meade Girls had their Secret Sister reveal dinner. The person that was my secret sister was unable to attend due to illness in her family. Last Saturday, we came by the shoebox swap to drop off my gift...and boy, what a gift it is!!!

First of all, my Secret Sister was Amanda. She really had me guessing! I had no idea that it was her!! My Secret Sister, through Dawnmarie, had asked for 6 of my favorite pictures from our trip to Sturgis this summer, so I sent 6 pictures to DM, who in turn sent them to my SS (Amanda). Well, I couldn't figure out what she had planned, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect anything like THIS:

I know the picture isn't that great and it's SO much more beautiful in person!!!! She printed out the 6 pictures that I sent. She also printed out maps of the areas where the pictures were taken. Each location is visible near the picture (if you click on the picture, it'll show it larger). The rhinestones, those beautiful flowers, all that ribbon on the handle....I just LOVE it!!!!! I can't wait to get my stamp room moved downstairs so I can hang it on the wall for all to see!!!

Amanda, you rocked as a Secret Sister! I loved the cards and I love this wall hanging!! Thank you SO much for everything!!!!
