CUTE MAIL IN MY MAILBOX~

Hello Friends!!!

I've been having great days of mail lately. WOO HOO!!! I must get back to writing a few letters. I have been a bit lazy these days and think it has to do with this weather. It's been a little cloudy today. I am finally getting around to editing my photos of all the cute mail I received. It's soooo nice to have my mail box full of letters.

I made a lot of new pallies at Penpalling and Letters on Facebook as well as here on blogger. YAY!!! For those who wrote to me lately... Thank you SOOOO much!!! I also am working on a few letters for a few of my pallies (Jacqueline, Kristina, Allie, & Jackie V.) I have some goodies of cute mail to send out to you. I haven't forgotten about you gals. *WINK*

OH!!! Before I forget!!! I GOT THE JOB!!!!

WOO HOO!!! I will start on April 16th. YAY!!! I'm SUPER DUPER excited!!!!

Onto the pics of all the lovely mail I received:

HELLO KITTY DECOS & A KAWAII STICKER POSTCARD

Hello Friends!!!

I hope all of you had a lovely day. As for me it was a pretty good day. I received a call for a job interview which is for tomorrow morning. WOO HOO!!! I'm really excited as I'm soooo anxious to get back to work. It was nice to have a little break but I'm ready to go back. Please keep me in your thoughts and say a prayer for me. Thank you!!!

Here are two Hello Kitty theme decos I created for PurityFaith700 and LoveLoveMail. I think they turned out cute and of course very pinky. LOL! I will be passing these along to one of the gals in Deco Swappers.

This one is for PurityFaith700:


This one is for LoveLoveMail:


I also joined a simple Kawaii Sticker Postcard via Swap-bot. It's been a while since I've participated in any swaps there. I found this swap and thought it was an easy peasy swap to do. I also enjoy making these postcards. They are quite fun. I hope my partner will like it.

I used various Kawaii sticker flakes from sticker sacks, index cards, cardstock, and laminated the postcard with clear transparent contact paper. I LOVE this stuff!!! It's great to laminate paper projects.



Well... I'm off to bed now so I can get up bright and early for my big day tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE DAY TO~

Hello Friends!!!

Today it was soooo beautiful I had to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine sitting under the Apricot tree in my yard. I've been cooped up in the house for the most part as I am currently not working. *SIGH* I hope to find a job real soon though as I'm anxious to go back to work.

This is a pic of the Apricot tree with the lovely blossoms in full bloom:

MAD FOR DECOS!~

Hello Friends!!!

I hope you are all enjoying your day! I slept in rather late. *SIGH* I went crafting with my girlfriends on Saturday from 11am-11pm. I didn't do a whole lot of crafting but it was great to just hang out and have some girl time. :)

Here is a paper bag card I created using The Greeting Farm Cheeky Howdy stamp. I paper pieced her outfit with scrap papers and colored her with copic markers. I used the Cherry Paper from the All About Girls paper pad. I also created the beaded charms attached to the paper bag card. I embellished the cherries with stickles, added paper flowers, and a white organza ribbon. She is matted on red cardstock and popped up with pop dots.

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SHOPPING~

Hello Friends!!!

I hope all of you had a very wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent Thanksgiving with some of my Family. It was a very relaxing and awesome Thanksgiving day for me. We had lots of yummy food and desserts. My personal favorite this year was the delicious homemade Sweet Potato pie. I wish I had a piece right now. LOL!!

I didn't go out for any Black Friday Shopping but I did go out today and picked up some scrappy goodness. Michael's had a great sale but sadly I missed out on getting the paper pads for $9.99 but managed to still get it for 40% off so not too bad.





I am in love with the new Recollection designer papers. I picked up these two paper pads for $11.99 each. I absolutely adore the
Le Ballet papers a lot as they remind me of the Nutcracker.

I finally jumped on the SMASH book bandwagon and picked up this lovely Pink SMASH book. I got to use a 50% coupon on it. WOO HOO!!! I'm soooo thrilled to have my very first authentic K&CO SMASH book. The designer papers are soooo pretty.

Onto more pics:



K&CO Pink Smash book.


Some smash goodness. :)


I'm still building my Christmas stamp collection
up so I found these at Michaels.


The Studio G stamps I picked up at Walmart for .97¢ each and the cute Rudolph the Reindeer stamps I found at Joann.


Lots of Studio G bling I picked up at Walmart for .97¢ each.


Studio G glitter glues also from Walmart for .97¢ each.


I worked on these decos over the weekend.
I received these decos from No1Sassygrl & Twistedfae.
I'll be passing these along to Jacqueline.

Now it's time to get into the spirit of Christmas. YAY!!!

FB'S AND DECOS~RECEIVED
