I have a Confession to make!

Ira sent me this package with all kinds of amazing goodies....Last week....and I haven't posted about it yet, Because one of the cats ate one of the pieces she sent! I have crawled all around this house on my hands and knees with a flashlight, checking every nook and cranny, And I still can't find our glittery skull heads. You see.......................

I was a stupid cat owner! After opening the box, and drooling over everything for a while, I put the contents back in the box, and then left the box on the coffee table when I went to bed! Yeah! I know.........I don't know why I thought that because I had folded that box back up.....that the cats wouldn't of been able to get into it! So....when I woke up in the morning, I found my beautiful ribbons wrapped around the living room~ I was Not happy! And I was even more upset when I realized that the one thing Ira was self-conscious about........ was missing! It must of been the glitter! It was just toooooo irresistible for them!

So.....Immediately, I got out a paper towel roll, and taped my ribbons onto it. I also wrote Ira's name on it, So I won't ever forget who sent them to me:) Aren't they beautiful!!!

There was a whole package of stuff! Printies!! My printer is being dysfunctional right now, so it was nice to get my printie addiction through the mail!

There was leaves for a planter! THANKS so much Ira! I really needed these!!

And here is the fabric that Ira sent that matches the ribbon she sent! I even called my Mom (who's a quilter) to brag that I had beautiful fabric all way the way from Finland:) I love the colors in them....Some for Marshmallow Manor, and then some with girlie prints:)

And then there was my flowers! My beautiful flowers! This is what started it all. Ira offered to send me some of her daisies when I commented on her blog, and look at what she sent! WOW!! I have daisies for all my houses! And some Gorgeous Roses!!

She also offered to make me a purse! This pink leather purse will be going into Katie's Corner.... Isn't it Fabulous?!

Yes! I know....the gifts just kept coming:) Next there was a strawberry waffle! Yum!! Don't know if I told ya'll....Even though I love eating strawberries, I can't eat them due to
allergies! So, it's trivial to me to have them! They are soooooo Yummy!

Next we have a crown.....The bf and I have been arguing over who's house this is going in......he thinks he needs it! Ha!

Ira also sent some metal findings....I'm excited about these! Oh the possibilities!!


And then there's this. First is a little metal birdie that is going to be perfect in my beach house! And next to that is the base to what used to be Cora's glittery skull head! She had wanted to put it in her Gothic Room! **Damn Cats!!!!! What in the Heck have ya'll done with our Skull???

I haven't emailed Ira personally about the skull head yet, so I hope she understands!
She was so gracious to send us all of this cool stuff! Thanks Again Ira!!!

Until Next Time.............

The Proximity Award

OK, I must admit......I'm horrible with chain letters! When they come via email, I normally just skip over them. But this time I got one via my Blog! And Ana was so sweet and sincere with it, how could I not?? It's called the Proximity award, and when I asked what that is she explained that it's about people connecting people through their blog, all over the world. Wow! Neat, I got an award all the way from Portugal!! Pretty cool, huh! So, the deal is this......You have to forward it on to 8 wonderful people! Well...if I try to do all that there's no telling how far I'll get....so let me try to do it this way.

First let me say THANK-YOU to Ana! She has 2 sites, http://www.miniaturesforall.blogspot.com/
The first one is written in English, the second one is translatable. She has been the kindest person to chat with. And even shared an enormous amount of paper dolls with me. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us! I look forward to seeing what's next!

And now for the 8 people I choose to pass this award on to......

Thanks for giving me more ideas than my little head can handle!! You're such a great influence, my online muse! I love chatting about all the different projects we want to do......one day! LOL!!

Casey from http://www.caseymini.blogspot.com/!!
Thank-you for being like an online encyclopedia to the dollhouse world. You really amaze me with all of your knowledge. I will continue to read your blog everyday!! Thanks for taking the time to write as many tutorials as you do! They really do help!

Sophia from http://o-mundo-de-zaphia.blogs.sapo.pt/!!
You have the most beautiful ideas! Every blog has pictures to drool over. I just love it! And thank-you for taking the time to take on so many kitties! It's amazing what you've done for them!

I have been patiently awaiting your return to see how far you've come on the garden shed. And now that I've actually looked at your page, it seems I have missed a bunch of blogs! I'm SO glad to see you back! And I love the little mouse!!

omg...do I really got to find 8?

Let's see.......I scan through http://www.minimodern.blogspot.com/ often. I love to look at all the modern houses she posts on her blog.

I also read http://polymerclaydaily.com/ on a regular bases. It has the best eye-candy for us polymer clay artists!!

Oh.....Check out my friend Dana's Etsy shop: http://www.dcrocks.etsy.com/ She wraps rocks with sterling silver, and makes some of the prettiest jewelry! She also has a blog, but needs lots of encouragement to keep it going! Don't have the link to that right at the moment, but I will get it.

oh my....just one more...

And my last award is going to go to Otis. Thanks for being my Mascot, my muse and my teddy bear, all wrapped up into one. You bring laughter to everyone that meets you. I love you Ne-Ne!!
OK, so I cheated a little, but I hope that everyone gets the point! I really think it is just a good reminder that we need to thank people sometimes for the effort they put out there! I have meet the kindest people, and everyone is so willing to share their knowledge! That's Great!! :)Thank-you my online buddies, thank-you for taking the time to write, and thank-you for taking the time to read!!!
