Secret Sister Gifts - CAST Team Etsy

I used to drive my family crazy

talking about my blog friends

that none of them knew.

They got used to that 

and have even had opportunity to 

meet some of you in real life.

So, that is now the norm at our home.

In March I opened a shop on 

Etsy, an online marketplace for things

that are handcrafted.

One of the first things I did upon 

opening this shop was to join a team

of individuals who hold to similar beliefs that 

I hold dear.

That of loving the Lord and trusting

in Jesus for our salvation.

We leave the controversial stuff alone

and agree on the important stuff.

I have met many, many amazing 

artists here and am blessed to 

have acquired another circle of 

friends.

As "Friendship Ambassador to the World"

nothing could please me more, really.

Well before Christmas rolled around many of

us decided we'd like to do a gift exchange.

So, the secret sister plan was activated.

When my gifts came in the mail 

I ripped into them that very day.

I know a lot of the participants waited

patiently for Christmas.

It never occurred to me to wait.

I was so curious to see who my secret sister was

and what she had sent.

These are the treasures that
Zuda Gay sent.

An ornament embellished with a clay polymer

which when inserted over a white light

on the tree looks truly stunning.

Don't you love it?

Zuda Gay also sent a couple

dish or face cloths.  

They are soooo soft.

I'd been perusing sites thinking

of getting myself some.

These are just perfect.

And finally, 

but definitely not least....

What I am considering a bookmark.

I'm not sure if this is its intended purpose

but I have decided that it would go well in 

a Bible because it has multiple strands and 

I can keep up with Pastor Mike better if 

I can keep several passages marked.

Jonathan looked at the craftmanship 

on this clay flower and was totally impressed.

He has done clay sculpting and said that 

what Zuda Gay does with the flowers is

truly amazing.

I would agree.....

Thanks, Zuda Gay.

 I am so grateful.
