First Post and Generosity
I have thought of many ideas for this post. Many first ideas, some cards I made, etc.
Then today, it kindof fell together. I started working on the different aspects of this, the background, the text colors, and other things. Then I got an email. 2 boxes of scrapbooking items were waiting for me! Oh....surprise, surprise!
About 3 - 5 months ago, I answered a freecycle ad, about free scrapbooking items. She not only gave "some" items, but gave me a good start. Scorers, paper, stamps...these were very nice items, and I was so very happy. So a couple a days ago, I answered again, and although she had already promised the items to someone else, she said she would put together some items for me. Today, I got the email, that said she got 2 boxes ready for me.
Again, I am shocked! different embellishments, a binder of clear stamps, some extra stamps beyond that, ...I am just flabbergasted. And she also donated some cards for Operation Write Home, for me to send with my package, when I make the cards for the soldiers who are diligently spending their times overseas. And on top of that....some cute pics that I can color! Jeeps, why not yesterday, before I bought 2 coloring books? *laughs*
Anyway, Veronica....thank you! I can't think of a better way to start a first blog entry, than by giving gratitude to a wonderful person, and generous to boot!
