Heidi rocks!!

I just love Heidi..she sent me the most awesome prizes and RAKs! What a wonderful surprise after a rotten day! For those of you know me, know that I am prone to bad luck..I've become use to it lately..haha...and tonight I drove almost 2hrs. home from work to find that I was locked out (I live in TN and work in NC).. Hubby had to work late and he had my key because my BIL and SIL have the spare. Thank goodness for them..they met me 1/2 way to get the spare...
Back to my RAK..Heidi is amazing and knows exactly the kind of stuff I love! We are so alike in our styles that she sent me (without even knowing)some paper I have been looking for..WE R Memory keepers Promenade!! How awesome is that! I won a blog challenge she had going, as well as a points challenge on her group and she sent some RAKs as well, so I received all kinds of goodies!
clear skittles, a rainbow of colored stardust pens I've been lusting over (haha!), Tombow refill, some blingy fourishes (love these!), and two rolls of ribbon to match the pattern paper!! How awesome is that!! Love you Heidi!! Go check her out at www.luckybugcreations.blogspot.com

Woooohooo....I am now typing from my very own new laptop..early birthday present from hubby..yippee for me. Thank you to my sweet SIL for calling and putting the bug in his ear, teehee! Now we don't have to fight for puter time constantly, and I got really tired of trying to type on the teensy Ipod screen while he was having his puter time. Now I can plop down in my chair while he's watching sports and type away...HOW EXCITING!! OK..just had to share in case anyone wants to share in my joy, lol! hugs,T
