Another great SSS package received. Where do I start...First of all, my pkg. came wrapped in brown craft paper stamped with Zimprints? rubberstamp image in rainbow colors all over it. I like that image. It also had SS written all over it too. Looks like my SS had fun with it. Inside, amongst all the Easter grass, I found a gold embossed card which read Thinking of You. I also found a set of Stampin' Up images which I didn't have. Very useful ones at that. Happy Birthday and Thank You with some nice swirl images to go with them. These will get lots of use. Another image I received and also did not have BUT, was on my want list, is an image of the State of Alaska with our state bird, the Ptarmagin, and our state flower, the forget-me-not. I love this stamp. Also received an Easter stamp with a cute little bunny sitting next to a flower pot with a carrot sticking out of it. For the upcoming occasion I also got some rub-on Easter transfers, some shiny bright Easter basket stickers and a cool egg-shaped candle, also in Easter colors. I got five really cool colors of ep which I will have to try out real soon. A new Kaleidacolor pad! Did the rs tattler tell you that I did no-no's with my rainbow pads - lol? Now I have a nice new one. I got a deco-style corner punch. Didn't have this one either. I forgot, I'm eating gourmet coffee flavored chocolates while I'm typing this out. My SS didn't want me to get hungry while going thru all my goodies. Yummy! Also received a gold bookmark, blue dye ink pad, some red/white and blue/white striped paper twist(good for wrapping packages), a brass tulip stencil, two glossy cards with star cutouts for the openings, some corrugated craft paper and a whole large envy of different kinds of neat text-weight papers. I can always use those. I also received a heart-shaped paper casting of a hummingbird hovering above some flowers...very nice. Did you do this? May have to break out my watercolors on this piece. Some of my gifts were in a smaller box in which the top cover of the box was wrapped with a crepe paper which has printed images of fruit. I like this stuff. The inside of the box has tissue paper on which are stamped different kinds of fruit images. I saved my favorite for last. In the latest issue of Robber Stamper is an article on colored glass jewelry where you take half cirlces of glass pieces and can put your stamped image underneath it and cover the back with copper tape and use as a pin, magnet or whatever. I have been eyeing that article with plans on making some of those. I think they are a really great idea and would make wonderful gifts. Well, I got one and it's great! My SS used an oval shaped glass piece which is tinted blue and stamped a bold image of a fish to put on the back. She backed it with some kind of copper foil and then put a tie tack sort of pin on the back. SS, you did great and I love this pin. Now I want to make some even worse than before. Where can I get these glass pieces? A big, warm THANKS go out to you whoever you are. This is a great package.

Thank you to all of you who prayed, stamped with crossed fingers, and hoped and wished with me for the past week. I appreciate all the help in making this come true for us. I was told today that we had been approved the day I met him! I *knew* in my heart that we would get him, but didn't want to get my hopes up.
