Happy Mail Received!

We are having a history making snow storm today - 6 to 10" is our current forecast but they say that might even get bumped up a bit, UGH!  We will need to shovel a path for the kids to trick-or-treat on Monday!!  I am NOT ready for this yet, but to brighten up this snowy day my mail lady delivered my box from Lisa- YAY!

Here are my goodies:



super cute card!

Coordinating pencil cup and pencil  box

Altered clip board:

Embossing folders

And adorable HM stamps!

Thank you Lisa, I love it all and Brianna loves the cup so much that she claimed it while I was busy typing this post and filled it with her markers for her coloring book next to me, LOL!

HAPPY MAIL FROM JEN

I got my happy mail from Jen a few days ago; sorry, Jen, just getting it posted (but then Jen is at Wisconsin Dells having lots of fun!)  And I can't believe you remembered my birthday and sent me a cute little card.  Love it.

She sent me some wonderful, pretty, sparkly stickpens; she made a "J" for my scrap room wall, and also sent all kinds of little goodies!  Again, Thanks Jen!

Happy Mail from Cammi

Sorry to be late in posting my awesome happy mail from Cammi!  She made me a wonderful clock in a box where I can store goodies, like my beautiful, handmade flowers and pins she made me. 

Aren’t these the prettiest flowers and pins???!!!! I love them!!!

 

Thanks so much for making these little jewels for me, Cammi!

She received my box today, YAY!!  but is having 'puter modem issues and asked me to post pics for her. 

I made her two nesting trays for storing projects in progress-

and some puzzle fridge magnets

Enjoy them Tracy!!  It was so much fun (and quite a learning experience at one point, lol!).

Thank You Deb

Sorry its taken me sooooo long to properly thank you for such a wonderful gift! I got an awesome cigar box with the cutest note cards. I also got a much needed pin cushion for all my stick pins.

Thank you than you thank you sweet buddie!!!

PS Where in the world did you get that cute button with my name that you put on the card? I loved that too!!

Happy Mail on it's way!

Tammy you 've been so busy I wasn't able to catch you but I was able to find a GIBBS sista who was sneaky enough to pass along my partner's addy - (thank you again you know who!) and my package is on it's way to my partner's door step today! 

Here is a clue -
I was FLUTTERING about, PUZZLED for inspiration and a little DISTRESSED, but in the end I decided MORE IS BETTER and I think it all FIT together nicely!

(ok, so that is like 5 clues, lol!)
Here is a sneaky peek:

HAPPY MAIL BEING PACKED!

Yay it was fun to be back with the GIBBS girls - even if I can't find anyone on Skype anymore!  I'll keep trying.  My HAPPY MAIL is done and being packed - on it's way partner ........  hope you like.

Cammi - love your gift!  Very nice.

OMG - I received HAPPY MAIL!

Tracy!  I simply love love love - did I mention that I love the box that you made for me and all the beautiful treasures it holds?  I had no idea what was awaiting in that package last night - it was so late when I finally got to tear into it and I was sooooo happy!  Thanks you so very much for everything!

Tammy is in the hospital

Hello ladies! For those of you who don't know, Tammy is in the hospital right now. She had emergency gall bladder surgery this morning, and should be going home tomorrow. She wanted me to let you all know that she will assign partners in a few days.

Kimi is a HAPPY GA Girl !

Ladies, my happy mail came on Saturday !!! Tammy I can not thank you enough for such a wonderful box of goodies.
My apology for not being able to post pics before now. For any who don't know my FIL has had a heart attack and has been in the hospital now going on almost two weeks. He had open heart and blockage in three arteries replaced last Wednesday. So we have been spending many of our days and nights there. So to you ladies, thank you for your prayers and patients while I was late to make this post. Now on to the goods and you may call dibs all you want to.. then have a seat and cry in your beer cause nothing is leaving the peach state ! LOL !!!

Up first... I was welcomed by Cammi card filled with thoughts from my HM gal pal Tammy. This is another wonderfully colored and constructed card added to my collection. Cammi, you just gotta love it when you send someone something and they put it to use.
a fantastic compliment :)






Next up..... I was sooo happy to see these papers in person!! Tammy you don't know it but I have been drooling and trying to decide if I should buy these papers from Pink Paisley. You know how it goes when you see something on line and your not sure if it looks as good in person as it does in someones marketing photo. Well these papers do !!! and I can not wait to use them on a project!

Yes girlie's.... more paper for meeeeeeeee!!! This time its some wonderful paper by 7 Gypsies and several if not all designs from the Fine and Dandy collection by My Minds Eye. Tammy also threw in some distress stain!!!! and again cant wait to play with it. Its one of the things i wanted to try but could not justify spending my money on if i was not sure I would love it.
Thank you TAMMMYYYY!!!...... no ladies... I'm not done yet but already so appreciative :)

HERE IT IS... AND YES I'M SCREAMING !!! WHO WOULDN'T ?!?!?!?!!!!!!!
I absolutely can not believe the work that went into this amazing mini !!!! It is to die for !!!
Tammy I still am in awe at how you were ever able to part with it and I am soooooo happy you were !
This will by all means have a special place in my new scrap house!
My mother in law is staying with us tonight and it was the first thing she saw when she entered my house.
And the first thing she wanted to investigate! So thanks Tammy for providing a distraction to the dust covered furniture and the laundry piled high! You have earned your wings!
Eat your heart out gals !!! here is my Garden mini !

A total of 16 folders !!! on the inside for photos and journaling!  

This is sooo amazing Tammy as was my whole lot of goods!  Thank you so very much!!!

OhMyGosh Kimi!!!

I drooled over that sneak peek you posted last weekend, and I pouted too because, as hard as I tried, I just could not figure out how it could possibly be any of the items I had on MY wish list.  So when Mr. FedEx drove up to my door today I was not entertaining the thought that YOUR name would be on the mailing label and OMGosh was I surprised!  My eyes were already watering before I could get the box inside my house.  And when I opened it, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful your work is - just stunning.  You amaze me girl, it is perfectly Denni-style and I love, love LOVE it!!

Needless to say ladies, I am calling NO DIBBS!!

Here is my fantabulously gorgeously amazing altered box for storing work in progress:

Check out all the layering and piecing and dimension - just gorgeous!

And look at the pockets and compartments inside!

She added goodies - stamps, copic pens and copic paper - you are too funny Kimi, I wish for stamped images and you send stamps to me and tell me to do it myself!  I chuckled when I read that, lol!!

And then to top it off she sends ME a pretty thank you card - what a hoot!  She thanked me because she was able to make this for me in this swap, LOL!  You are a goof girl!  But hey, anytime I can help you out by requesting that YOU create something purty for ME, just let me know, I'm there for ya.  ROFL!!

Kimi, your work is amazing and I feel so lucky to be the recipient of such a beautiful project.  Thank you so much.  I'll treasure it.  Muah!!
