I received a package........
Yup..that's right...I received a package on my doorstep!!!! It was from Sharon.....my Owl Swap! She mailed it on Monday..and I received it on Tuesday (yes I know I'm posting about it a day late)! Dang....so much for the post office....hhhmmmm what are UPS rates? LOL Anyway....OMG!!! She is AWESOME! I just love that gal!!!! She spoiled me!
My mom is coming in a month or so and I am gonna have to hide that Owl Quilt from her!!!! It is sooo darn cute...and OMG Sharons work is fabulous!!! Perfectionist??? HMMMM!!!!! And how did she know that I have a thing for purses!!! Did someone tell her? I LOVE purses...and I've made quite a few myself...but none of them compare to hers!!! And the fabric choices!!! OMG!!! Could I have a yard of each one??? I hope she got those at Rosie's so I can get them when I go down there in November! And she packed the purse with goodies!!!! She's so sweet!! So loving and so thoughtful! What a wonderful friend!!!!
And guess what I did today...I made my first ScrapBook page EVER!!!!!! I don't count the stupid one I did back right after my son was born! It was horrible....cropped all my pics oval and taped them on the white page...and well.....all those pics have fallen out! LOL So I bought this really pretty chocolate brown 12x12 album from Target...and the pages are covered with clear (my old one wasn't). I saw this really cute layout in that "Creating Keepsakes" issue I mentioned a few post's back....and I had to do it! You see...my son looks just like the hubby did as a lil toddler....so I made a page to reflect that! Now..these are old pics...of both hubby and my son...my son is 10 now..and those are from when he was 2....and the pics are 30 years apart...as they are 30 years apart!
I am in love with it...so in love that I've already done 3 more! LOL And...I went in to drop some more dolls off at my local ScrapBook Store...and darn it...they got new stuff in! TROUBLE!!!!!
of course...I bought more than what's pictured...but shhhhh...don't tell!
Sorry no post about dolls today....I just finished up some orders and mailed them out...and I have a couple more orders to go. I need to thank Candice.....she posted on her blog about my Witchy Poo Annie and I received several orders because of her!!! Thanks so much Candice!!! So very sweet of you! If you are into scrapping.....you NEED to visit her blog! Her page layouts are to die for!!! If she ever comes to Hemet I'm there! Okay..back to the dolls.... I do have 3 new ones to put on...hoping to do that tomorrow....and I am working on some others! I'll let you know when I put them on!
Thanks girls for reading my blog!!!! Ya'll mean so much to me!!!!!
