JEAN'S GIFT TO US

I never want to use them -and if I do, then the recipients would have to be pretty special to appreciate the dainty and delicate, dear little gift tags.
What could have been in the little parcel? - the Customs declaration said `CARD' so no true indication of what was inside.
Jean, these are fabulous and I do feel that you must have a wee stash of Japanese papers.
They are all perfectly made, with minute detail -how patient you must be as I can see that these little gift tags were not just whipped up, as they are so perfect
Your colours and layout are perfect -I keep looking at them

The wrapping was also done beautifully, and did you all see how the red tissue sort of poked out like a wee border? -definitely Japanese influence.
Jean just so happens to be Rachael's' `Mother-In-Law' and Stella's Gamma, so I obviously have known Jean for many years, and again like all of us, has fiddled, stitched and made things for ever -she also used to do `framing' and had a workshop.
Jean has always loved all 'Japanese' things and Rachael has on her walls various fans , prints etc from Japan.
Thank you Jean -the gift tags are magnificent, that seems to be the wrong word , as they are too dainty for such a big word.
You are in Cairns, but this Xmas Swap has brought you much closer to home, friends and family.
Have a wonderful Christmas
