Comment: I think this wasn't the first Surprise Ball you've made - it was so pretty! I love the pink and it was so perfectly formed!! The goodies inside were great - you obviously picked them just for me cuz I loved them all! Thanks for all the minis and stickers and buttons and tea and deco tape and MORE all which I loved! I especially liked the little wallet, too, which I may be using to carry tea with me, or corral my crazy purse. I'm so glad it made it here, it knew it would be loved! Thank you SO much!! :)

Thank you for the fan-tabulous baggie of buttons. You were very generous. I have a few of those large buttons with 4 larger than normal holes in them and I keep wondering what type of garment they might have been used for. Got any ideas???
