today I got tons! I got this huge box from Sherri. It was AWESOME, has this paintcan thing she made, it's like a paint can only it's clear. It was stuffed with goodies, ribbon balls (too clever sherri!) stickles including the yellow I've wanted, a "Erin Kellogg Creation" stamp that is super classy and great and I love, a big cat stamp, and a set of TAC stamps. I'm SPOILED Oh and a bella card too!

And that's not all...
Joanne sent a stamp that says, "Cats are like potoatoe chips, you can't have just one" And a great card.

And even more...

I got the adorable cat card Pam has in her gallery! It's the one from the VS with the three cats. AND it's stuffed full of ADORABLE images! They are that one mouse she loves, I love it too. NO ONE tell me who makes it I CAN't go buying all those mice! I'll enjoy the images!

And Tonii sent me a HUGE box! It had like 10 packs of cool embelishments, including my own name made out of bling! I'm thinking I might put that on my cabinet under my big E which I love. AND guess what was in there... a pink cropadile! I don't have one and never hardly use eyelets but Tonii insists this will change everything for me. I thought they were purple? I'm sure Tonii knew I'd prefer pink though. And a cute stamp, just tons of stuff.

I'm sooo spoiled!

WOW, I got backfrom my trip to find tons of mail:

Sarah loobylou sent fun international mail. It's a great cat card with fun images inside. I love how you attached the panel in the card to write on! I might have to do that it's super classy. (It's a folded sheet of text weight paper attached on the front inside cover just like they have in professional type cards. Super nice!)

Wowzers! It just keeps on coming

first of all I have a terrible confession to make! I got two cards yesterday but when I was showing Marcia the cards they got mixed in with the others and I can't remember which are from yesterday! :( So two people will not be properly thanked unless I can get so organized I figure out who they are. I'm so sorry everyone!

Today I know though. I got a card from Mary TOAO AND her sweet daughter Tori sent a card as well! :) both were adorable of course, a frog and a penguin, gotta love that.

I got a card from Hawaii today! How cool, Thanks Dori! Love these colors. :)

Nancy F. sent this great fold over card that I love, using the scallop border with your corner rounder technique which is great. AND, this is so cool, a step-by-step guide to how she colors the penny black and house mouse animals. AND the markers she used she included! And images, AND ribbon! Wowzers.

Debbie H sent a huge stuffed package of goodies. I can't tell them all it would just take forever, stickers, accents, unmounted stamps (frog, butterfly, cat tails plant, flower) paper, just tons of stuff. And a super cute Bella card.

Also I got my free Kashi ceral that someone on here gave a link to request. And a magazine (my last issue of papercrafts).

what fun! Thanks guys! This has been the best birthday.

ETA 5-9-07 again

Michelle Clark you outdid yourself! I LOVE these bitsy bugs! I almost ordered from them last night but didn't and now I have one! And these papers are my very favorite colors. I love them all. And shipping in a pizza box is too cute for words.

I'm just listing stuff, I think Brian will get me one thing, probably a GC from the LSS!

My mom is driving up here and getting me plants for the yard and helping me put them in! she's a "Florida Master Gardner" it's very fancy, people pay them lots of $$ to consult their yards. I'm getting 3-5 azelias, 3 hibiscus (those are my two all time favorite plants) and some amarrilas (sp?) And mulch for it all. Isn't that the coolest gift ever?

I'm gonna work on my daddy for the dvd recorder but it's probably not in the cards, I have NO idea how much they are? Are they less than $100 yet?

[Erin K]

bump, added more thanks!

[tesschap]

Sherri did an awesome job on your paint can - didn't she?

[irishchristine]

Dvd recorders at Christmas were as low as $40 at Walmart the day after Thanksgiving!! So it is possible!! Enjoy your Birthday week!!

[iloveflipflops]

Can I post the paint can in the gallery now? Glad you liked everything. Isn't that pink stickles pretty too?

[Erin K]

YES, post away! I love that pink, I don't think I have it either, which is crazy because I love pink.

those are great ribbons, I've never seen them done in balls.
