Yeah!!!
I am glad it got to you!
Have fun with it!
What a nice surprise, too!
Well....what did you take from the box? Enquiring minds want to know!!
Nothing yet! We just got a new kitten and she's shut in the craft room to acclimatise, and I don't want to get too much stuff out to tempt her. I had fun looking through the box last night though and there are quite a few bits and bobs that I'd like... I MUST HAVE that tree punch for one :) Also my computer is dying (has died!) but it doesn't matter because John ordered me a new one last week and it arrived today. He's setting it up and reinstalling everything for me this afternoon, so I'm borrowing his!
Okay here goes... I sat down with the box and my stash of craft supplies last night. It turned out that I didn't need to specially buy anything for it because I had a massive post-christmas buying spree and I had tons of duplicate 'good stuff' to put in. :)
I put in: small butterfly paper punch extra-wide red striped ribbon (4 yards?)
1 yard silver 'our wedding' ribbon cute 'baby' tag 2 sheets baby stickers 1 sheet blue/purple mosaic tile stickers Winter themed ribbon set (6 co-ordinated ribbons) Mini brads - 8 pink, 4 white, 6 green, 12 silver, 12 gold Large brads - 4 bronze squares, 3 santa hats, 6 pink flowers, 6 silver xmas trees, 6 gold stars 10 mini pearl heart/star embellishments large sequins - butterflies/acorns/birthday themeAnd I took out: tree paper punch braid - flowered and argyle patterns green variagated thread bag assorted punchies
1 sheet romantic rubons 2 sheets wedding stickers 3 mini CM sticker sheets mini brads - 8 square, 2 red, 3 yellow, 5 stars, 1 flower Large brads - 6 leaves, 2 snowflakes, 2 christmas trees, 8 gold hearts 4 mini flower buttons maple leaf sequins.As you can tell I LOVE brads and punchies... I'll pass the box on tomorrow and since I'm the last person it's going back to Deb! I hope we'll do another round of it SOON :)
Wow! I'm so glad you found so many goodies to use and so many more goodies to put in. Once I have it back, I'll get it ready for another round if people are ready for another round.
Yes please!! :D
Once I have it back, I'll get it ready for another round if
