Another month has come and gone which means another fabulous Diva exchange! And boy was I spoiled this month!This month, you will have a secret buddy. Of course, you will know to whom you are mailing, but you won’t know who is mailing to you! For a fun twist, we are also having secret RAK buddies (random acts of kindness). You will be assigned 2 buddies. One for a Diva box ($25 minimum) and the other for your RAK buddy ($5 maximum). Please read the rules listed below.
Here is what I got and OMG is it Fabulous!
- $20.00 gift certificate to Altered Pages Link...do you know how hard it was for me not to spend this before telling ya'll about it LOL

I’ve already made one piece of art with the supplies I received, I added it to this post so everyone can see that I really do LOVE my Box!
Now for the box I sent. I made a lot of the items b/c the woman I mailed to loves hand made items. It was so much fun to incorporate her tastes into new and different art forms for me. I’ve never made cocktail napkins before…they took me an entire week but I think they look smashing…I hope she likes them!
Here is what she wrote upon receiving her box…
I was also her REOK buddy…I sent her lavender scented organic laundry detergent, she got it first and I had to bite my fingers not to tell her I was her Secret Buddy also!

Hi Caroline - your Diva exchanges sound like so much fun!! Here's a hint for you concerning the gift certificate - if you sign up for e-mails from Jackie about the site she also sends discount coupons almost every week. Your $$$'s will go so much farther that way. That was a wonderful gift. I love altered pages and I have a hard time staying away from there. I must have at least 70 of there sheets!!!LOL!!!
