SUMMER IN FULL SWING!!!

So- I haven't even started this swap yet!!! :(  Normally I would have mailed by now, but nope! How is everyone coming along?

I just shipped RWB swap today. I have to cram this week for my farmer's market. 4th of July weekend is a HUGE weekend for the farmer's market... hoping for a great sale day!!! I've been making over $50 the last two weeks... hoping to top $100 this next week!

I hope everyone has a fantastic Fourth of July weekend! I have mine packed full!

I got my HM from Tracy! See pics below!

Thank you Tracy! The kids LOVE them!

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!!

Yeah! I came home to happy mail!

I came home to a wonderful Gibbs happy mail package from Lisa!  I received a lovely idea tin & a tilda stamp.  Thank you so much Lisa!

I'm A Lucky Girl!!

That distorted pic Denni posted yesterday?????? Belongs to me, except its not distorted!!!!!!!!!!! I was BEYOND spoiled since Denni didn't realize the rules and thought she had to create EVERYTHING on the person's list!! I am ONE LUCKY GIRL! Oh before I post pics for you guys to ohhhhhh and ahhhhhh absolutely positively NOOOOOOOOOOOOO DIBBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this mobile and can't wait to get a hook in my craft room to put it up the right way!!!

Then there was this cute banner that will be placed on the wall right where I "create".





A set of ATCs and a cute butterfly stamp.



OK the next two things are my FAVORITE things EVER and I don't know which I LOVEEEEEEE more!! So in no particular order:

Perpetual Calender:


Wall Clock:



I can't begin to thank you enough Denni!!! You are beyond talented and I'm LUCKY to have your works in my craft room and I'm even more lucky to call you FRIEND!!!

Yoohoo...secret swap partner....

My box of goodies is heading west to you right now!  I mailed it yesterday so you should have it by the weekend - keep an eye out.  I hope you like what I made for you.  This is prob my fave, but gosh golly the pic somehow got all swirled so you can't exactly see the details.  Wonder how that happened?  (heehee!)  Ooooh well I guess you will just have to wait a couple more days.
(bwahahahahaaa!!)
