one of the best parts about my job is the product.
i am addicted to paper, i always have been...
i buy things to feed my "more stuff" addiction
that's why one piece of patterned paper is not enough, i must buy them in multiples!
that is why when the UPS man, his name is jerry, pulls up and stops in front of my house i get a little giddy.
the man in brown is bringing me more PRODUCT!!
a FIX if you will.
I LOVE happy surprise boxes of product
what self respecting crafter wouldn't?
Debbie crouse, you make me swoon!
look at what she found for me,
a vintage flash card that says downy...
surely i can come up with a way to add an "e"
and underneath that was all of this!!!
a 7gypsies happy box!!!
spoiled rotten i am and damn happy about it too!
thank you debbie!
tomorrow morning i am off to colorful creations in Hyannis, MA to teach a 3-day workshop!
i will be there with bells on...how many of you will i see there?
Your happy box looks SSSOOOO YUMMY!! ENJOY!! Peace and blessings, Cindy B.

Have so much fun in Hyannis! If you've never been there, you will love it. And besides, we're supposed to have gorgeous weather this weekend to boot!
I wish I were coming to your classes (I live an hour or so away) but I can't do it. Boo hoo! I was hoping to catch your classes at Right At Home, but I see you're no longer going to be there. Bummer! Hopefully I'll be able to catch one of your classes in the future!

I love Happy Boxes, too! I got a small one in the mail today...some very cute clear stamps from my stamp of the month club, stars...so stinking cute! They are from BackPorch Memories and they make me happy once a month!

Hi Donna! I am taking your 2 classes on Sat. at Colorful Creations and cannot wait! I am working through IPhoto to make prints for a Year in the Life! Colorful Creations is an awesome shop. I lived on Cape Cod for 7 years and they turned me onto scrapping. Now I live off-Cape, but try to get there as often as possible. I look forward to meeting you! Have safe travels! Diane

Hi Donna, I just watched your South African video and i feel so homesick! Thank you so much for sharing. I really needed it today. I am so glad that you had a wonderful trip and experienced Cape Town.
