Holding my breath...

Will my little sister get her big package in the mail today?
I am holding my breath in anticipation! Will she like it? Will she be surprised that it's me? Does she already know who I am?

Here's what I sent her...



Each of the above items were individually bundled up. Can you guess which one holds my business card as the final reveal? :)

Here's the card I made for her:



Stamps: Hostess set Infinite Goodness, Curvy Verses, Watercolor Vine Jumbo wheel
Paper: Kraft, Barely Banana, Wild Wasabi, Textured Wild Wasabi
Ink: Wild Wasabi
Accessories: White Gel pen, 1- 1/4" Square punch, 1-3/8" Square punch, Wild Wasabi Double-Stitched ribbon

Here are close-ups of what I sent my little sister:









In that big box, I also put 3 extra mailboxes from Target. One of each color... red, white, and pink. There were mini Valentine pails so I put a couple of those in there for her to play with as well. I found some yummy chocolates for her "boys" and kissables for her daughter. I think that's it. I'm so excited! I can't wait for her to post. I hope she gets it today!

Off to take the Country Lane Elementary School tour this morning.
I can not believe my son will be starting Kindergarten in the fall!
Then it's off to the dentist. Thank goodness Kevin is able to stay home with Keiji while I can do all this! Then I pick up the Ken from preschool and drop the boys off with my in-laws so that I can pick up my friend, Kristin, and take her out to tea at Lisa's Tea Treasures.
Then finally, I pick up the boys and rush home so that I can prep for a workshop this evening.
Phew! Crazy day! Anyone else having a busy Monday?

Big Sister Julie!

I would like to introduce everyone to my Big Sister, Julie (a.k.a. jeweleintn - SCS) who has been treating me to her wonderful cards over the past few months. Today, I received a big box full of treats and the big reveal! I had NO idea that she was my Big Sister this whole time! What a sneaky sister!

Along with a sample stack of fun glitter and some felt flowers to play with, I received:


To show you a sample of Julie's talent:


The tall tin was full of yummy chocolates. Yes... was... I ate most of it during the time it took for me to take the pictures and upload them on my computer. :)

Julie was also sweet to remember my boys:


From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU, Julie!

But wait... that's not all!

One of the cards that Julie shared with me was published in CARDS Magazine this month!
CONGRATULATIONS, JULIE!
