BIG...BIG Mail week....

IMPORTANT NOTE: I re-posted this with the pictures. I hope that everything is up and running.


Boy, was it ever a BIG mail week this past week. For starters, I got my package from a friend that I am in a swap for. She buys Tombow refills by the bulk and asked if anyone would like to go in with her this time. I jumped on it...as much as I go through adhesive, I thought I needed a deal. Well, DID I EVER GET A DEAL!!! These usually retail at Michael's for about $3.99....I got them at $2.10 each. I need to put her on my MUST ORDER FROM list, LOL.

Then on Tuesday..Look at what the UPS man brought me. She's a beauty, huh? My CRICUT that hubby ordered for me. Again....he got a DEAL on it. Michael's and Joanne's won't take the 50% off or 40% off or any coupon for it...so he went online, did a bit of surfing, and VIOLA...$189.00 and FREE SHIPPING!! Not bad Honey. As always, you spoil me....THANK YOU!

So, then we go to Michael's with our coupons, both of us had 50% off...so we buy a few cartridges. Then, I come home from work on Thursday, and he had gone to Michael's again, with his 40%off, and bought me another cartridge, along with some more goodies. WHAT A MAN!! I tell ya, God totally blessed me with this man. He is my TRUE, TRUE soul mate. I just love being in his presence. Talk about feeling safe and secure *sigh*. Yep...I feel safe and secure.

Here is the FIRST thing that I cut out using my Cricut. It's for a swap coming up. I'm telling ya...this is so much easier than the Quickutz or Sizzix. Hubby thinks so too. It was done in a matter of seconds. I have 13 to do... and it normally would have taken a few nights. With the Cricut, it took less than 5 minutes. I am a cutting fool now. I will have to post later the finished product. I am quite pleased. GOOD INVESTMENT.

So, now the mailman comes yesterday, Saturday...and I have a box! OMG.. from who? Then I notice the name...Hollye. She's my VERY BESTEST friend ever! We keep telling each other that we are twins....she being born first (6 days), cuz when you're pretty like her, you're born first. Me on the other hand, I was born last...and that's only cuz I needed the nourishment and I have the brains.

Anyway.... I get this box. LOOK at what she sent me. The lunchtin was made by Selena, her daughter (sign of the cross for mercy for her). Isn't that pretty? I think so. Selena... I just love it girl!!

Then I look inside the box and there are more goodies. I love the chick in the cup....it has meaning. Chick w/HATTitude. LOL (I will explain more of that later) Then there is this exquisite figurine. I totally love it. Hollye, you are the bestest!! Needless to say.. .that figurine will have a special place in my china cupboard. I love it, Hollye....again, THANK YOU Sister!!

My son called about an hour ago. He took my daughter to the airport this morning. She's off to Hawaii with about 5 other girls. Her best friends mother paid for them all to go in celebration of her daughter's 30th birthday. WOW. We just booked our trip for the two of us, and I know how much it cost....paying for 6 girls to go? WOW I'm speechless. WOW I guess I am gonna have to send my son somewhere now. Hubby suggested Sidney, Australia. That is my son's fantasy trip. He wants to see the Sidney Opery house so bad. Hmmmmm he just may like that trip. Will have to think about that one.
