I had to take some pics and post about all the goodies I got yesterday!! The past couple of weeks have been not so great (had to get a new car b/c the transmission went on our old one, we had an issue w/ our water softener (which you can read about in this post), and today we have to get our water heater replaced as it's bit the dust (and we've had NO hot water since yesterday afternoon - ICK!!) and I'm actually waiting for the person to arrive this afternoon to come in and replace it!!)
However even w/ things being pretty rotten (literally!!!!) around here my day sure was brightened by some AWESOME RAK's (random-acts-of-kindness) that I got in the mail yesterday!!
Some of you may remember me saying that we don't have a Target up here in Canada when I made this altered mailbox from one that was sent to me as a gift.
I can't believe how many ppl offered to get me some after that post!! Bobbie sent me these four (along w/ some chocolate goodies that just up and mysteriously disappeared *wink*) for me to play with!! THANK YOU so much Bobbie!!!
I also got 4 more of these little mailboxes from Ashley - along w/ a TON of other goodies!!! There's a couple jumbo paper clips and metal magnetic frames and all kinds of fun things to alter - and some cool ribbon too *grin* - I have so many ideas of what all to do w/ this stuff!! THANK YOU Ashley!!! This stuff is awesome!! (and FYI it looks like most of it is from Target?? MAN!!! I reallyreallyREALLY wish we had a Target up here!!!)
And last but certainly not least Dawn brought me these when she came to my Open House yesterday:
I was saying how I wanted to make beaded pens (another one of those things I *know* how to do I've just never actually done it) and when she was in Staples the other day she got me a pack of RSVP pens - so now I have no excuses *wink* THANK YOU Dawn!
Also you can see a tutorial on SCS on how to make beaded pens.
You guys all ROCK!! I am totally blown away by your generosity - it really couldn't have come at a better time! {{{{HUGS}}}}
Here's hoping I can squeeze in some time to alter at least *some* of these goodies in the near future!!
I'm working on a tutorial that's been requested several times so I should *hopefully* have it up later today.
I've also been adding links to blogs that link to me (see this post) and so far I've added any that have a link back to this one (FYI the list is in alphabetical order and it goes capital THEN lowercase for some reason - so if you don't see yours scroll down closer to the bottom - it should be there!). It's great to see all everyone's sites!! :o)
Have a great day everyone (I know I will once I have hot water ROFL!!)
