UGH/YAY

I FINALLY GOT IT!

My family has been passing around a nasty sore throat and cold. 

Silly me I thought I had escaped it!

Everyone is finally finishing up with it 

and me...

it's just beginning!

UGH!!!

The plan for the day was to get in the car and drive an hour to go visit my dogs, give them some treats and a chance to run outside. 

Waking up feeling sick made me give that plan a second thought. 

I did decided to go...

before I felt any worse.

So I let them out, to get they're run. 

I let them jump all over me.

I gave them a couple of hotdogs.

I gave them a couple of doggie treats.

Another run outside

and 

time for me to get back home. 

Before leaving town I stopped in to check the mail...

YAY!!!

There were two pkgs for me!

First is my RAK from  

Flying Unicorn.

I got this for winning the 

April Bella Unique Challenge

over at 

Bella Creations!

Look at all those goodies!

A stamp, flowers, rub-ons,  buttons and pearls

and...

my very first Graphics 45 paper pack!

I am so excited!

I can't wait to make something with that!

And who doesn't love Tim Holtz Distress Inks!

I've had plans to visit a lss, next week, to buy some of them so this was perfect timing, especially when you figure in the fact that the one I was definitely planning on getting is the Weathered Wood! 

Yay, now I can get another color!

I am going to have so much fun with these goodies!

So.....

If you like what you see then hurry on over to 

Bella Creations

and play with us there!

Maybe you can win a goodie stash like this one too! 

Now on to my other yummy package...

Look at this...

I was so excited when I won this from Heidi over at 

Sugah Beez.

My brand new bookmark!

I loved the look in the picture but oh so excited when I saw it in person. 

I LOVE IT! 

It is so pretty!

The image is great, I love the color of the eggs! 

I am a new fan of this ribbon she used too. 

I know what it's called but for the life of me I can't think of the name!

 With or without the name, I want some now! lol

And she is so sweet she even added a few other little goodies in the pack she mailed out to me. 

The lace is pretty, buttons (always great) and those diecuts are wonderful!

Love that little card too!

THANK YOU, HEIDI!

For those of you who haven't visited Heidi yet I think you should! 

She has a lot of vintage goodies to look at over at her place!

Even her music is vintage!

Heehee, I am listening to it as I type!

It's bringing me back to my childhood dinner times when tv and radio's were suppose to be turned off. 

I found a way around that was to set the radio station to play music, like this, that mom and dad liked!

I liked it too!!!

Mom was always pleased!

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you all have a great, sunny & safe day!

Here's a couple of cards I made today using the sketches for the NSD2011#10 challenge over at 

Lets Scrap.

As most of you know all of my scrappy tools are in storage so I got out my trusty rolling pin and used it on my CuttleBug embossing tray again...

I got the butterflies from scrapworld.

I know I've seen them somewhere else too but for the life of me I can't think of where right now.

The patterned paper on both of these is from the K&Company Watercolor Bouquet collection. 

The butterfly on this one is from the same collection.

A lot of liquid pearls here!

I may have gone overboard! lol 

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I want to give a big 

Thank you

to all of the wonderful guests who stop by to visit me here. 

I do greatly appreciate all of you taking the time to come over and stroll through my garden of projects and leave such kind words.

Thanks again my wonderful blog hopping friends!

Have a great Monday!
