Greetings. i am happy to tell you that a personal email has now been sent to you with the mailing address of your intended recipient. if you have not received it, please be sure to notify me at necessaryroom@gmail.com.
remember, no one else knows who's sending their jewel (and no two people have each other) so please don't spill the beans ;) it's totally up to you whether you want to send your jewel anonymously or include your return mailing information. either way is love.
please remember to mail all *gift of jewels* on or before February 14, 2010, the Tibetan New Year and a traditional day for celebrating love. raising a prayer flag for you, Tibet.
*one more thing before i go. i wanted to thank everyone who not only participated in this *gift of jewels* pen pal project, but also those who donated gifts and bonus gifts to share with you in the *gift of jewels* giveaway earlier this month. your love and kindness is most greatly appreciated.
the above photo appears compliments of toni, author of daily vignette and co-creator of the fabulous new blog, vision and verb. you may have even seen her featured at shutter sisters, here and here. or perhaps you've previously browsed her store in search of precious stones. well, i am pleased to announce that toni has generously donated the jewel in this photo to one of you as a bonus *gift of jewels*. thanks so much toni!
are you all wondering who won it? oooh i'm so sorry, i can't tell you because it is the secret jewel in this project. the winner was randomly selected from the registered participants. the chosen one will just have to let us all know when it arrives in their mailbox. ;) it's my little way of saying thank you for joining the *gift of jewels* project: spreading peace and love all over the world.
*may i ask one little favour of you? when you receive your jewels, could you please stop by this post and share your thoughts with us. to make it easier, the *gift of jewels* photo button in the sidebar will directly link to this post.
let the celebration begin...
One World. One People. One Love.

Oh Se'Lah!! Your heart is mysterious and deep...I love that fact that you aren't telling us who will be gifted with Toni's jewel...that makes it even more fun!! Can't wait to find out how the lucky recipient is!
I loved the last gift of jewels postcard/card exchange; and I loved the gifts from the gift of jewels (I still need to share Tracy's beautiful pink necklace on my blog).
It's so much fun to connect with others through cyberspace and then to connect by having something in the actual mail box.
You are the heart of our lives for organizing these things...JAH loves you!!!
Se'Lah, I am so glad I signed up to do this--already my mind is turning with possibilities! Wishing you a happy weekend! The sun has finally come out here, so it's a big success as far as I'm concerned :)

Thank you so much for this idea. I received my gift from Sometimes Sophia and it is fabulous!!! I have it posted over my computer to remind me of peace and love and wide open spaces and connections.
I received my beautiful card jewel several days ago! Thank you Toni. I am dreaming, and I am listening for that still small voice. Thank you.
I haven't gotten to mail my gift yet, unfortunately. Weather, and professional training (childbirth educator) has kept me from the post office. So, if you haven't received your gift yet, it could be from me!!! I hope you will like it. ;)
I received my special "gift of jewels" from Susy today - what a lovely array of gifts that she sent - to represent Valentine's Day and Chinese New Years. I loved the gift and the whole idea of this exchange. Thanks so much!
I finally made it to the post office today and my gift of jewels came all the way for Norway! Now how cool is that?? Thank you Tracy for the beautiful card. And I love your business card that you enclosed, too - very cool!
I was delighted to receive a most delightful gift from Denmark...it is posted on my new friend's blog at

The envelope is handknit and the card a lovely embroidery. I keep looking at it and smiling.
You are way beyond kind to host such a wonderful project not once but twice!!!
I received my jewel from Boston... a beautiful poem and a great sketch of the city skyline. It arrived Friday, Feb. 12th. This was a terrific project to be a part of.... thanks so much for hosting it!
I got mine. That Elk is so talented. And thoughtful!!
Yay! My jewel was waiting for me when I got back from being away for my anniversary which was a lovely surprise. My card was a collage and had all of the things that I love on it, such as photography and pebbles and birds amongst other things. The only downside is that I'm not sure who it came from!! There was a sender name and address on the envelope but I'm not sure who you are to thank! If you're reading this Thank You! I'm doing a blog post on this later today! :)
i received my jewel today, what a sweet surprise in my mailbox:>) This was a wonderful swap, thank you so much for putting it together:>)
I recieved my jewel today, all the way from the UK! The envelope actually SAYS Royal Mail; I guess I got theCrown Jewels :)The card and matching bookmark had artwork celebrating a milestone of the Britsh Red Cross. And also tucked inside was a series of Pixar collectable stickers-my inner child was just giddy with delight. Sunnymama is most definately 'good with children!
My gift of jewels came today, a card made by elementary students and an awesome collage card created by Kim. This was a fun exchange! Thanks, Se'lah!
I received my special Gift of Jewels surprise from Christina of Soul Aperture this past week. I was utterly spoiled! I wrote about it today...

Love, love, love!!!! Yesterday I received my beautiful jewel from the lovely Marie Rayner ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND!! She is an extremely talented artist who blessed me with an original signed print of one of her gorgeous drawings. I don't have a blog to post the picture to, but believe me - it is ADORABLE. I'm buying a frame asap. I'm definitely going to visit Ms. Rayner's blog sites. Thank you, Se'Lah and thank you Jewel Friend Marie - you cannot possibly know how special your gift is to me. I love you for created this Se'Lah; you're angel:-) One Love.
I received my gift of jewels from Sharon who currently resides in Canton Ohio. Oh my how I so enjoyed the beautiful handwritten letter Sharon sent, something special indeed.
Sharon does not have a blog at present, but I certainly believe that will be changing soon.:o) Sharon is bright, intelligent and loves computers working with the software side of things.:o) I am so happy to have met Sharon. Thank you so much Se'Lah for this beautiful "gift of jewels".

just received mine on Friday, so sweet, i do love this project, so nice to receive actual- hold it in your hands- mail.
Thanks so much Se'Lah for organising this. It has been such a blessing. Thank you for the lovely comments on my blog too. I received my beautiful card from Susanna at Susannas Sketchbook and it was such a joy to think that many many miles away (she is in the US and I am in the UK) someone has taken the trouble to write and create for me.
I do hope you will do this again Se'Lah. Thanks again.

Such JOY and fun today as I received Carla's (www.carla-artesanatocroch.blogspot.com) *Jewel* today! The beautiful postcards and very lovely crocheted items she made and sent have brought such delight to the start of my week. Many thanks, Carla! And thank you, Se'Lah for all this fun! :o) ((HUGS))

I received my lovely gift of jewels today from Jax (Making It Up) in England. Her beautiful card includes a strip of fabric taped along the inside that glitters with jewels! I love it! Thanks Jax, and thank you Se'Lah for organizing us once again! xo
I did not know this thread was here to post when we had received our jewels. First of all I am so pleased that Tracey received my print and was pleased with it. It makes me feel good to know when other's like my work. I received my lovely jewel from Kathy last week, such a beautiful sewn postcard Valentine. I fell immediately in love with it and her talents!! Thanks so much for organizing this SeLah!
Mine has arrived too! It was, once again, perfect. Just what I needed to hear.
received my beautiful surprise in the mail and will post about it in the next few days.

Thanks for hosting another great project Se'Lah. You are a jewel. :)
Also, just to let you know that I posted your Mango Juice Bag giveaway prize at the same time as posting the gift of jewels. Hopefully you will have received it by now or will do soon. Would be great if you would let me know. :)
I bet the neighbors love to watch me when I go to my mailbox. I poke around through all the junk and when I find something special - a jewel - I know I smile REALLY BIG and practically dance back to the car to finish my drive down the street and home. Thank you Melissa for the beautiful handmade card. I can feel the love! You sound like such a busy girl - how do you find the time? Hugs!
I received a wonderful surprise in the post today, much more than a card, a thoughtful present from one mother to another. So very kind, I'll try to blog it soon.
Thank you so much to Robin from Dreaming of Tea with Hope
I received a hand-written letter from my "jewel"; she and her sister have a blog site which I visited. She lives in Ontario on the Lake, Ontario, Canada! Sounds like a beautiful place. Thank you Se'Lah. I apologize for posting my receipt so late; I did earlier but I think I did it incorrectly.
I recieved mine a couple of weeks ago from a very nice lady name Connie. She sent me a nice handmade card and a pin that I am having fun wearing on my winter coat. You can read and see it here:
