I've been meaning....



to photograph this small but very HANDSOME gift I had received since February. My friend Paul had taken some classes from me while I was in the UK. Now this is dedication to the craft.... Paul made this for me in his hotel room in between days of my classes. Oh and I need to add, cleverly disguised under the beautiful exterior is a plastic hotel lotion bottle.

Tonight as I was photographing the Hero Arts Stamp Craft and my Technique Article, I took it down from the shelf (right above the screen of my laptop...which I look at it all the time)... to finally pay homage.

So this is a shout out to you my friend Paul Browning!!!!
Sorry it took me so long to share.....Thanks
:o)

and...as some of you may know.....I did have a birthday last Friday, and I picked up a gift for myself (I'm hard to shop for, it's just easier this way)....I got myself a new digi camera. It's a simple Canon Powershot with a 12x zoom, much better than my old (but reliable) Fuji. This is a step up, has a lot of extras that I need to read about (yeah, sure).

I received some cool birthday cards...like this one from my friend Kay (we've been online stamping friends for over ten years)...this is so cool...it's a cootie catcher card...Thanks Kay!!!!
:o) It's beautyfull!


So, if that's not enough....my good friend Jennifer sent me an email to check out her blog...and this is what I found....



It brought a tear to my eye...so sweet!. I'm so lucky to have such great friends. :o)
I hope everyone is enjoying their week!
smooches!!!
