  10. Stunningly beautiful! Wonderfully coloured image, this is my favourite one of this set as I just love sweet peas :). Fabulous use of poinsettia dies to make the flowers which look fantastic next to the other lovely white flowers. The pearl trim is gorgeous especially with the extra ones in the corners. I hope you bought a good stock of the little frames for your sentiments as they always look so good. Your box has the same gorgeousness as ever.
    I hope your friend had a brilliant birthday with her golden girl friend and gentlemen at her birthday tea. You're looking as fabulous as ever :). Debra x
