This is what she had
HOLY SMOKES! That's like spring time in a box. Just look at those colors.
She said when she saw this she thought of quilling. The papers are much wider than what you would use in most quilling since they are just over a 1/2 inch wide. Plus they are a heavier paper too, more like cardstock, but I thought they were perfect for some JUMBO quilling.
Maybe if I didn't get in so close with the camera you wouldn't be able to see that I was a little messy with the glue on this flower. This is the first one I did and I have a little idea here for what this is going to be used for. More on that when I actually finish it.
Oh I just love it when people give me crafty material. I'm in heaven

Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
They sure are treasure. These strips are perfect for display quilling.
Wow wee Ann lucky you!!!
That is flippin' fabulous!
SCORRRRRRE! :)
How I love the giant quilling! Good thinking! Not sure about the card stock weight, but they are the right size for making German Stars. Very pretty colors!
My first thought... Oh my, heaven in a box! You will have a blast, Ann. YAY!
Colored Paper for FREE! A treasure.
Yay! I love colored paper. Springtime in a box! LOL! You are so clever!
Hugs,
Oh those are really pweety!! Me loves <3
These are wonderful Ann! If I might add a little suggestion what about a rabbit - it will be the Chinese Year of the Rabbit very shortly, I believe.
What a great boom for you, Ann! Hey...every time I see the TV show "She's Crafty"...I think of you. No Joke!
That box is going to keep you crafting for a long time to come!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful, georgous post!!! That is so pretty, and you are so talented, and I love the kaleidoscoped picture! What were those strips of paper originally intended for?
Wow Ann,
Lucky she gave all that lovely paper to you instead of throwing it away!
Thank you for commenting on my pink, orange, red and green necklace. I'm with you. I'm looking at spring colours while longing for spring!

Hugas,

OH, your flower is lovely - that would have been a shame to throw away all that beautiful card stock paper. I don't like to see things go to waste that could be used by someone who truly enjoys it. You are very talented and your kaleidoscope photography is very pretty too...beautiful colors!
Beautiful creations! You could truly make something out from the ordinary! :)
You have never been really able to just let kindergarten go--have you?
Oh, Ann - love it, love it!! Your kaleidoscope photos are great, and what a fantastic gift to receive. Can't wait to see what you do with the flowers. Remember that creative 'slump' you were in a while ago? Well, you are now officially OUT!! LOL
That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm amazed at how soon you made your first creation with these papers. I look forward to seeing the card and the medallions.
Awesome! How does that go again?? One woman's trash is another ones treasure? Heh heh heh. I LOVE the flower - too cool! ;o)
Great treasure for you. I was looking for a pot of gold in the first picture.Looked like a rainbow.Waiting to see what else you do with it.
Have a good day.
What a wonderful treat ~ a crafty person can make use of almost anything!
Very fun!

Tat sures is a lot of papers to throw away.. good thing she thought of you. You struck Spring! Love the flower you made... its so beautiful. I wouldn't have patience for that :) Can't wait to see the finish product.

Seriously, Nice gift!!

Once again I didn't even notice your mess till you pointed it out. Stop that. Your flower looks great! I love it.
This width looks fun , a number of things to do.I thiought of some paper weave ofor a interesting background on cards.
Wow!! That is just amazing! You are so talented. I know you've heard this before, but you really need to open an Etsy shop.
I hope your week is going well :)
That flower is great...and to be honest I hadn't noticed the glue until i went back and checked because you mentioned it...it's funny, I tend to do things like that...pick out or point out my own faults for others to see when they don't notice..lol
Love the photos edit too.
WOW...have fun with that box...love what you are making already..so pretty! :D
Sandee win win all around
Helen sure are
beebeebabs I know, I was thrilled
Grace my husband said the same thing, I wonder if you have that same sarcastic tone that he did...lol
Lin YEAH ME :)
LDH well I may just have to try a german star and see if they'll work for those
Ann who knew you could find heaven in a box...lol
sharkbytes free is my favorite price
sallie me too,
nessa something about the colors on a cold winter day just kind of perked me up
kloggers oh a rabbit, what a great idea
Jean there's a tv show called She's crafty?, oh cool I've never seen it before but it sounds like my kind of show
beaded tail it doesn't take much to keep me amused :)
ginny I have no idea what the papers were for. My friend found them at work, said they had been there when she took over and she didn't know what they had them for and she had no use for them.
Anna I know, the garbage man surely would not have appreciated them as much as I do
Doris I love being able to reuse, repurpose things
zach well I try any way
fishhawk, ROFL no I can't say that I have
Philippa YIPPPEEE, I'm out of the slump :)
Josep now if only I can focus on just one project. I have a bad habit of starting more than one at a time
Jen you said it sister. :)
Russ it does look like a rainbow and the pot of gold for me was getting the whole box to play with L:)
catherine that's for sure, I'm always impressed by some of the ideas people come up with
junk drawer kathy why thanks, I bet you make really cute stick figures :)
sandra I thought the way the paper was laying in the box was pretty enough as it is but I couldn't just keep it all in the box :)
Anny it sure is. I just wish outside my window that it knew I struck spring...lol
bossy betty yes it sure is
donnna well that sounds like a good way to go any way...lol
b boys mom you know how it is, our mess always sticks out like a sore thumb to us...lol
out on the prairie I thought of weaving also
tahtimbo I keep thinking about it but I wonder if it would take the fun out of it for me
allotments4you why do we have to do that? that's so silly and yet I keep doing it...lol
What a great gift! I just know you'll put it to good use! I love what you've done already.
Wow! Ann, you are so talented. Those colors and creations are gorgeous.
Reeni thank, I'm sure going to have fun trying anyway
Poetic shutterbug I loved the colors, made me think of spring. I sure could use some springtime right now.
Those big flowers are fun! It would be great to have a group of them set out on a table...
Pink, thanks, my plan is to do several and put them in a flower pot. But now that you said that I'm thinking maybe a few in varying sizes just standing like that would look cute.
