Stitching, Exchanges,and Give-aways

I joined the Friday Sew in Night, which was last night. I have wanted to do this for awhile, but I just couldn't find the right blog to sign up. I found it last week and so happy I didn't miss it. I signed up and knew right away what I was going to stitch immediately, my Fairy Dreams by Lavender and Lace. I haven't worked on it for a long time. Here is the picture before I started:

This is the picture just before I went to bed:

I like working on her and I would like to get this one done sometime this year. You may see more of her after my trip to Virginia.

One of my exchanges which I had stitched was received and I got my Sweet Valentine's exchange from Sarah.

Sarah stitched me a beautiful card, and she send 3 Vicki Clayton's silks, A DMC metallic red skein, Heart in Hand Valentine's Bird, a very cute bear kit, a piece of heart fabric and a bag of Lindt milk chocolate eggs, one of my favorites. They are so yummy.
Since she did not receive my parcel yet, i wont show the stitched piece I made for her yet, cause she reads my blog. I can't spoil the surprise. Thank you so much for a wonderful exchange Sarah!
This is the frog I stitched for Marl from Canada. The frog exchange was in memory of Rene, a moderator of i-love-cross-stitch yahoo group, who passed away. The frog was a freebie from Cyberstitchers, design from Lucie Heaton. I left out the words. I liked the frog by itself. I stitched the frog on 14 count Grasshopper aida from Charles Craft.

There a few blog giveaways I want to mention before I go back to my world.
My friend, Sarah(one I just mention), of Craftymoo is having a Spring Giveaway. Some fabrics and threads is a perfect combination for me.

Jennifer, from Feathers in a Nest, is having a Spring Giveaway. She is offering 2 pairs of scissors.

Pine Mountain Designs is having a giveway on a few new spring patterns. They are very pretty.

Don't forget about my giveaway. You need to comment on the post below if you haven't done so yet.
