Farewell to Elise Blog Hop

Hello friends!
(Sorry this is a long post)
Today is Elise's final day as a Beary Scrappy Girl, and we're celebrating her friendship with a surprise

Farewell Elise Blog Hop!

My Magnolia Queen

(Big Thanks to Susan for making this picture for me)

We are sad to see her go and will miss her with all our hearts. We have delighted in her creations week after week and benefited greatly from her uplifting comments.


Elise, you are very special to each of us. As a way to recognize this, we've all played secret crafters and planners. We love a good surprise! Here are our projects, and please visit each of our blogs as we reflect on our time with you. {{big hugs}}

Elise my personal thanks to you, you have help inspire me with all your wonderful projects. You have made me step up my game with my cards and made me a better crafter. I love seeing all your beautiful Magnolia cards every week, hence the name I gave you as The Magnolia Queen. I love all the wonderful comments you make on my projects and bring a smile to my face when I read them. When I had to think of something I wanted to make to show you my appreciation for all you have done I could have made a card but I thought why not make something that you could keep on your desk and remember all of us at The Beary Scrap and it came to me a bear, lol. So I made a little container so you to store your cute little goodies in. This has been sitting on my desk now for about 2 weeks looking at me and brings a smile to my face seeing this little cutie looking at me.
I hope this brings a smile to you while your crafting.






My project recipe:
1 pringles can
Mulberry Roses
Bling
Bow

Okay, I am literally bawling like a freakin' baby!!!! OMG you girls astound me with your LOVE! I have goosebumps all over my arms and I'm having such a hard time typing!!! LOL! You know what happened?

I popped over to my blog and went to my thumbnail list to see what new creations my friends have created. And by golly, I saw a thumbnail pic of what looked like me!!!! So I did a bug eyed look and put my face up to the screen and I'm like, "Well holy smokes! That IS me!!!!!!!!!!!!" lmao!!!

Where do I begin? I am .... melting. My heart is aching, and yet, it's happy at the same time knowing that I've met all of you! I too have found each and every single one of you so inspiring to me.

Patricia .. every single week, I have looked forward to seeing your creations. I knew that every week, I would be smiling in my chair and gasping with delight! You too are such an inspiration to me, and I SOOOO love you! Thank you so much for ALWAYS leaving me so much love and supporting me in every single thing I did! You always made me SMILE!!! If I could reach through this screen and hug you ... sigh ... how I wish I could! But in my head, I really am hugging you so tight ... you're probably begging me to let go! LOL!

I know there are so many other things to say, but right now, I am so overwhelmed with so much love for you girls ... *sob, sniff, blubbering* ...

Thank you so much Patricia .. just for EVERYTHING and for being YOU.

Love,
Elise
