Je rêve en francais: French Blue is a Dream

"Je rêve en français" That's what the tiny red and white label said on the package that was nestled at my front door yesterday. What started as a "Guess the Goddess" riddle hosted by Janet at French Blue, ended in a stay at home mom's day filled with excitement and joy.

Here's a peek at the prize- The Chanel ribbon was a great foretelling of the lovely gift Janet sent!
Of course, I had to document the entire process of opening up this package by taking pictures. I knew that this gift would be special because the two lovely ladies, Janet and daughter, Noel, put this gift together are extrordinarly talented and creative women.

Leave it up to Janet to protect this lovely gift with pale pink packing peanuts- such a sweet touch!

And the perfect topper for this surprise- a handmade WHITE paper rose by Noel at Fanciful Designs.

The lovely Janet sent a bottle of Chanel fingernail polish in the color of Ballerina! If you go back to her post for the riddle, you can see that she thought of every last detail: the ballet slippers and the tutus! She really planned this give away well! And of course, she sent the sweetest little card with the most precious image of ballet dancers!

Look at this STUNNING handmade paper flower by Noel! I think that she could create some of the most beautiful, feminine displays for Chanel Inc. Hmmm... Does anyone out there know someone who knows someone that can get these two together???

Thank you, Janet and Noel, for such a lovely gift and for your friendship. I have enjoyed blogging so much because it connects me with some of the most thoughtful and creative women like you!
