New Christmas Present

I'm already using a Christmas gift that I got from my dad yesterday... a laptop. I'm so glad to finally have one. I'm ready to dive into the digital scrapbooking and I'm going to do it with the Creative Memories Memory Mananger and Story Book Creator programs. And I plan on doing it with the laptop. :) Thanks Daddy!!!

Speaking of Scrapbooking, it's getting closer to our Annual winter Scrapbook Retreat in January. I can't wait to go!!

Starbucks love!!

Awwwww, my first Pandora charm!!!  My friend Kandi gave this to me for my birthday.  ...it's a Starbucks charm.  Does she know me or what!?!?!  I believe it will be my MOST favoritest charm ever!!  I can't wait for more charms to be added.  :)

Thanks Kandi, I totally LOOOOOVE it!!!!

Presents are already coming in

My dear friend Nina made me a birthday gift this year. It's so adorable, I have it sitting here in my scrappy room. She used a Stampin' Up stamp set, chipboard letters, brads and ribbon...oh and buttons on the outside. Toooo cute!!!

What a GREAT surprize!!!

OMG, when I checked my mail on friday, I had a key in my box (we have post office boxes here). So I get my little wonderful key and take it to the lock boxes and see what awaited me.... It was a big package from my dear friend Kari from BlogLand! She is just tooooo much. She sent me sooo many things. I know those people that walked into the post office thought I was a weirdo for Ooo'ing and Ahhh'ing over my goodies from her. LOL

Her and I had talked about envelope making before and she came across an evelope templete and thought of me and grabbed an extra and sent it with MANY other fun things. I can't wait to work on the heart shapped book and the flowers are gorgeous. There are a baggie of little autumn leaves and as soon as I saw those Fall cards popped in my head.
Kari, you made my day, TOTALLY. And I'm truly sorry that I wasn't able to post about it and give my thanks to you sooner. But you know how Easter weekend can get. ;)
Lots and Lots of hugs to you!!!!! :) :)

Shower Gift...

My friend who's having the baby shower, is decorating the babies room in red, white and blue. So while I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday I found this cute little 6x6 shadow box. I thought I could decorate it up as a gift. So I went to the paper isle and got some nice papers. Then I got ribbon. My friend Jana found the cute little doll embellishment and the jumbo letter brads. That's the babies initials. :) Then we found the star brads. I had at home the red bandana ribbon and the Freedom/Liberty/4th of July stickers that I used on the bottom right of it. I wove the ribbon around the basket, got that on sale as well, for $1 and some change. woohoo! :)

oh oh, I also got the shadow box on sale for like $4 and some change. It was $8. :)
