I was surprised to have been selected as one of the
winners of Blogaversary challenge on Country View Challenge, and it is a great
honor for me to be asked if I want to be a guest designer for May challenge
where the theme is Nature's Glories
The container from Tim Holtz's Matchbox die is used to build up the drawer.
Nature's Glories is a great subject for there are plenty of options, and I am proud to show my mini drawer with a bit of mother nature. Me and my family have always collected things when we are at the beach or in the woods. When we get home, we talk about what we have collected.

SvarSletOh my! How could this have slipped my attention, Susan?
SvarSletIt's brilliant, breathtaking and soooo utterly beautiful! I LOVE bugs, I LOVE nature collections and your presentation is sooo awesome! (Is that a real shark's egg to the right? Wow! These look so mysterious, don't they?)
One of the best projects I have seen in a long time! Absolutely adorable!

Hi Claudia Thanks for your lovely comment. Yes it's a shark egg and I've picked it up from the North Sea one of the many times we have stayed summer vacation there. I and my little family gathers stones, shells and we are looking especially for amber, but we're not so good at finding it ;-)). On your blog, I can see that you love nature, and I found your "paper bug tutorial", it is really nice and I would I like to make it.
