Thank You!!

A huge thank you to Chris and my dss "Mary"! I got two great packages in the mail today. The first few pictures are the things Chris sent to me. She is a best friend that anyone would love to have. Plus she loves paper crafting as much as I do! She doesn't make me feel guilty about buying or hoarding too much, we both have a "thing" about cutting into pretty paper when you don't have much left of it lol. Anyhow, In the package today there was a book called Get Real Greetings, all I have to say is hilarious and perfect! A Cuttlebug embossing folder (friend), 3 cards, 3 monogramed notebooks...one for me, my daughter and son, gummie Lobsta's (or lobters if you are not from New England) and an altered papertrey packaging box, that she turned into a candy holder for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I took a closer picture of that :) She hand stamped and punched each peanut butter cup and stamped "friend" in the center. It had to take a long time to make all of this so I just want to say "THANK YOU & I APPRECIATE and LOVE ALL OF IT!!!" Maybe she will put up directions on how to make the little notebooks because they are too cute! I took a picture of them opened and closed.

Next I would like to send a big "THANK YOU" to "Mary" my dss on scs. She has never altered anything before, but she altered a tin bucket just for me. I am proud to have your first altered item :) get ready to get addicted to making altered things, because they are so much fun! Inside the bucket was double sided adhesive, stamps from Studio G, a little rubber stamp with hearts on it, a hole punch from paper studio, grosgrain ribbon, and Andes Candy! It came wrapped in plastic and everything. She glued little heart bling and paper hearts on the tin, and attached the ribbon by putting an eyelet through the ribbon and tin! She must have a Crop-a-dile...lucky lady! Also in the box was a really cute Valentines Day card and a huge bag of Chex mix. Thank you so much "Mary" you went way beyond what I thought was coming :) Here are a few pictures of what Mary sent me. I just had to tell my kids to back off the Chex Mix because its mine lol
