{ Someone please pick up my jaw from the floor! }

It still amazes me the depth of love and overwhelming eagerness to give that my fellow stampers/bloggers seem to have. Through my blogging I have developed many friendships over the past few years. One such person for me is Jovi. I discovered Jovi's blog a few years back and became an instant fan! Her creations are just amazing and safe to say one of my stamping idols...one VERY talented lady!! Unfortunately, for us fans, she decided to put her stamping on the back burner. However, she continued with her blogging, but mostly just about her and her hubbies bike adventures through Colorado, her adventures in learning the piano and reading. Her photos are amazing and I am still a huge fan even if she is no longer creating on paper. Jovi was actually the one who steered me to the Goodreads website recently too...which I love!! Well yesterday I received an email from her saying that she had sent me a package and it should be arriving soon. Well, I went to the mailbox today and found a nice little box in there from Jovi. I picked it up and thought...'what on earth!'...here is what I found when I opened it up!










































I am still in shock! My girls have already staked claim to the kitty stamp by the way! ;0) I can not wait to play with these new images. Thank you again Jovi...you certainly brightened up my day, week, month...;0) You best be expecting a few creations from me soon...like, what...eight or nine? ;0)

{ RAK catchups! }

Now that I have my camera working again, it's time to get caught up on the RAK's I have received.

First off is a lovely card I received from Saskia for the One Card Swap over at Teri's blog. This one was very different from anything I had ever seen before. Thanks again Saskia!

Next was this RAK from Mary for the Aloha RAK. See the little magnet on the right? Very pretty...thanks again Mary!

Next is my June OCS from Joni. Joni saw on my blog that I was a Disney fan and made me not only this card but this cute post-it note holder with mini pen inside! I love it, thanks Joni!

Next was this 'Get Well' RAK I received from my friend Dianne. See that? She even included a gift card for Bath and Body works!! Yippee!!! Our first store opened up here in Calgary yesterday! I am holding off until the new one closest to me opens up in August, but we will see if I can hold off that long! Thanks, Dianne. :0)

And lastly is my candy winning from Nancy. I have yet to open these yet...but soon!! Thanks, Nancy.

Well...I think that was it...hopefully I didn't miss any! Thanks again ladies. :0)
