SPOILED!
I have some of the best friends on earth! They have ABSOLUTELY SPOILED me lately! Here's why...
1.) Wendy, one of my AWESOME contacts that I have made through Flickr, sent me this KILLER mini album that she made me (AND cards, AND paper) from a painted canvas that she made! She contacted me asking me for my address saying she was going to send me something. I thought she was going to send me a ATC. I had NO CLUE she was going to send me a MINI ALBUM + Cards + Papers!
2.) We recently had our yearly Wiener Dog Races here in town. I have one but he has the attention span of a flea so I didn't bother even attempting to enter him. Nor did I go down there. My friend Lori did though and she got me these AWESOME Gocco print cards & accordion book that Roberta Lavadour from our local Arts Center made! They are AWESOME! I LOVE them! I am thinking about turning the little album into a mini scrapbook about my spoiled baby.
3.) My DEAR friend Kathleen asked me a few weeks ago if she could take some pics of my little brat (Hunter) & I. I HATE having my picture taken. I ALWAYS look HORRIBLE! Like a BIG, GIGANTIC pumpkin on legs! BUT, Kathleen & I both have a project coming up that needs photos and she said she thought a photo of Hunter & I would be PERFECT for it. So, I agreed. Now, I had a sneaky suspicion she was up to SOMETHING but I didn't say anything. Well, about a week later she tells me that she has something for me. That she had thought about mailing it but decided not to. The day after she tells me this I get up, I'm half awake, still in my PJ's and have just finished my morning coffee when I see a car pull up in front of our house. At first I wasn't sure who it was. Then I looked closer, it was Kathleen. In her hand she had a manila envelop that was STUFFED! I opened it up and almost cried (FOR REAL)! Inside was one of the ABSOLUTE MOST BEAUTIFUL mini albums I have ever seen! Let alone the fact that IT WAS MADE FOR ME! Kathleen had made me THEE MOST GORGEOUS mini album with a Life. Art. Amy. theme! It's ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! If it's possible to be in love with an object then I AM!
*Note-these are only a FEW of the GORGEOUS pages in the book Kathleen made for me*
4.) Then YESTERDAY (well, I guess by the time this posts it will TECHNICALLY be the day before yesterday) I got ANOTHER surprise package in the mail! This time from my WONDERFUL friend Colleen. C & I first met via Flickr, from their we got to know each other even better on Facebook (I've been kicking her ass, as she put it, at Scrabulous in there). C & I get along soo well! You would think the two of us have known each other for years! I just love her! I WISH we lived closer to each other. She's in ATL and I'm here in OR. Anyway...(Get back on track space cadet!) I went to my mail box and there was another manila envelop! This time from C.! AND this time taped like you wouldn't believe! I don't know who the girl thought she was protecting this package from but I don't think ANYBODY could have opened that thing w/o a knife! LOL Inside...THEE MOST AWESOME repurposed mini book! It is KILLER! PLUS...2 AWESOME stamps! One of which I had just TRIED to get the day before but was unable to! A KILLER handmade card! AND an AWESOME little pocket/tag! Now C. had asked for my mailing address the week before but I just thought it was because of a mutual project we are going to be doing. I didn't think it was going to be ANYTHING like this! Boy was it a SWEEEEEEET surprise!
5.) In addition to these, Melisa gave me a KILLER deal on some (OK, more like a TON of) clothes @ her yard sale a few weeks ago. I am in DESPERATE need of a job but didn't have any "work" clothes. Well, MJ had a PERFECTLY timed yard sale a few weeks ago. On top of it being perfectly timed MJ & I USED TO BE (Until the AWESOME woman lost an AMAZING 90 POUNDS!) pretty close to the same size AND we're both MIDGETS! So THE CLOTHES FIT!
So, to all of my wonderful friends...
