LOOK what I got in the mail this week!!!!

This has been a hard week for me.  Having some medical issues that are yet to be diagnosed and I've been really tired - wiped out.  Then I went to my mailbox and received both these special treats on the same day!  Talk about bringing a smile to my face - and a lift to my spirit!!!  I thought, "Hmmmmm, all those cards in my box that I've made and not sent....surely there are lots of friends and family that need a snail mail hug or smile...."   My resolve, to SNAIL MAIL - not email - a card    smile every week!!!

While hopping on a blog hop, I saw this AWESOME card by Jeanine, http://www.scrappinwithjc.blogspot.com/ in my comments, I told her how much I loved it and if it was up for blog candy too!   Well, this amazing lady emailed me for my address and sent the card!!!  My hubby recently re-modeled my sewing room for me and once framed is going to be beautiful on the wall.  Thank you so much Jeanine for this awesome card.  I HAVE  to have this paper collection!!!

She said the paper collection was from "My Little shoe box, Sew Cute collection".  It is definitely on my wish list!!!  Thank you so much Jeanine for this awesome addition to my sewing room!!!

Second, my wonderful sister, Linda - http://www.lindascreativity.blogspot.com/ sent me this card in the mail, which was FULL of "House Mouse" digital images that she printed on watercolor paper and encouraged me to play with!!!  Not only has she gotten me addicted to papercrafting, but now I am addicted to these mice!!!! I have had so much fun with my little stash of mice. 

If you are not familiar with the "House Mouse" stamp line, I encourage you to visit their website.  You can sign up for a "daily squeek" which will send a daily image to your email. mailto:DailySqueek@house-mouse.com   It definitely makes me smile every morning!  I have not done a great deal with digital images, but I am excite now to try!  While I am out buying my new stack of papers, I am going to buy some watercolor paper and try some digital images!!!!

Speaking of digital images...Our Creative Sisters Monday Challenge starts a new challenge, a new month and a new sponsor...Could it be "digital images?"   Check back tomorrow to see!!!!!
