Brown Paper Packages

I love, love, love receiving packages! Today was quite a haul, and I was super excited knowing exactly what would be in one of them!

First one was my prize from last week's Scrapbooking Memories Magazine's Cybercrop. I won one of the challenges from the weekend from the couple I had time to enter, so was very happy to spot the little Express Publications box today.
I won a Xyron Sticker Maker and a heap of Buzz and Bloom chipboard journaling panels and frames. Very cool indeed ;)
Big thanks to Buzz and Bloom and Scrapbooking Memories for my great prizes :)

The next package was a pack of layouts and projects returned from Scrapbooking Memories Magazine in super swift fashion as usual ;)

Now the last package had me hyperventilating in my car...seriously. I emailed the store Memories to Remember very recently in huge excitement about their upcoming October Afternoon shipment.

They replied almost immediately with an offer for me to preorder what I wanted....which I quickly took them up on!

Shan (who hasn't updated her blog since Valentines Day for goodness sakes) and I preordered the new Cherry Hill and Ducks in A Row ranges and they arrived today!

Oh my goodness!

The Wild Cards pictured below are the cutest things you've ever seen! I love October Afternoon and have some very special projects in mind for these ranges.


Huge thanks to Memories to Remember for my order and their fantastic service. Jo and I had a hilarious email, blog and Twitter 'relationship' there for a bit while I waited for the shipment to arrive. It may have been slightly one sided, but it was a relationship nonetheless.
Jo even appeased me by calling me when the stock arrived in as she could sense my fanaticism...that's service ;)

I have slunk back into regular admiration status and slipped out of my stalker role for a bit...until the next OA range is released anyway.........or when the rubber charms come in........
