the courier delivered a happy box of love from my blog friend elizabeth on wednesday.
wanna hear the lame part? that happy box SAT unopened on my counter for an entire 24 hours.WHY? well for ONE, when i got home, there was no-one around to take pictures of me opening it, and TWO, when someone FINANLLY came home, the light was really bad.
how sad is that!!!
but then husbands, good cameras, good light and the planets came together and here i am opening up my box of goodies. i was spoiled!

a note from elizabeth telling me that the journals are hand-made from wallpaper and scratch paper. i don't know what that is, but they're gorgeous. thank you!
what-a-lotta-loot!!!this has to be my favourite piece. elizabeth ran a giveaway for her blogoversary and i won! elizabeth had me sent photos of my loved ones and she then turned them into this AMAZING bracelet. i wore it straight away and got so many comments!
i'm not really jaundiced, but these photos have a rather 'warm glow' to them, don't they?elizabeth also has a t-shirt business, katie kay tees and she made me this VERY cool t-shirt. i can't wait for some warmer weather so i can wear it!
can you read it? it says 'scrappy'!!!
and a lovely frame
and a wooden plaque that i can decorate to my heart's content! i'm thinking paint first, then we'll see what happens after that...
elizabeth also made me a cd of her favourite tunes, and there's some lovely bath gel in there too! oh! and a coffee thermos that i can personalise with photos - cool huh?
thank you SO much elizabeth! i really appreciate the effort and the gesture. i hope we meet one day soon.go see elizabeth and read all about her second honeymoon in jamaica - amazing sunset pictures, and the 'not clothing optional' beach!

Wow! She done good! YOU done good!
Cool! That is a fun box to open.
what a box of loot!!!
I wouldn't have been patient enought to wait!
How nice! I like those coffee tumblers that can be decorated.
That was a lovely parcel to open and haven't you got will power to wait so long to open it? Good for you.
WOW! She rocks! You got some cool stuff. That bracelet is very cool!
Glad you liked it all so much! We really need to get you a camera with a self-timer or an auto remote. That way you won't have to wait!
BTW, wallpaper is the stuff you cover your walls with for decoration, an alternative to paint. And scratch paper is just a term for any paper that's not suitable for much besides doodling or just for notes. It's kind of a term for throwaway paper that you really don't need for anything. You can make a "scratch pad" from scratch paper. Does that help clear it up?
Enjoy all the goodies! I want a photo of you IN your shirt now, so I can post it on my Katie Kay Tees blog!
That's so neat! She sure made a thoughtful gift box!
Thanks for stopping by my design blog!
Ooh what a lovely thing to get. I only get bills through the post x
Love it! This reminds me of the projects my charity does. We are a large group of bloggers and more that send care packages and cards to people battling cancer in hopes of putting a smile on their faces. It always feels nice to get something in the mail no matter how small :)

I think it's incredibly sweet that you waited so that you could have pictures to show Elizabeth and all of us... What a neat surprise to get by the way - I will read Elizabeth's blog - she sounds like a sweet person too. :)
Looks like you're doing good - summer agrees with you!
thats a box full of goodies you got there Sue. Gotta love being sent stuff from online buddies from overseas. I love how you waited until someone got home to take the photos of you opening them. Thats something I would do lol.
What great stuff you got.
Stopping by from SITS.
That looks like some fun mail indeed.
It was worth the wait.
I have that same bracelet and love it!
But I have to ask...what do you do to look so fabulous? I can see you have a BBQ, so I assume you eat, but you have to share your secret!
That is SERIOUS will power!! Hugs, Jen
