SB: Guess What I Got!!?

[yummy72]

I am so excited, I had to share. My husband got me the Sizzix die cut machine for my birthday. I don't know which my was more of a surprise, the gift itself, the fact that he heard me talking about it and remembered what it was, OR the fact that HE went into a Michael's of his own free will. I can't wait to use it, of course now I'll need a couple of the dies. I also got a digital camera, which I can't wait to use. Both of these are going to be great new additions to my scrapbooking tools.

Happy Scrappin,
Candi

Thanks everyone! DH came through this year...he can be pretty sweet when he wants too. :D Like I said before, the biggest surprise was him going into Michael's and actually finding the Sizzix machine. I don't know how he managed unless there was a golf club taped to the box. It was the big 3-0 so the great gifts made it special. One other gift, OFF-TOPIC (aside from the talking Mickey Mouse lamp from my mom!) was from my business partner. This is a great idea when you want to do something a little different than the typical "over the hill" stuff:

She sent me a big box full of individually wrapped gifts, numbered and lettered A and B

One box was labeled "Open me first" Inside was a bottle of Skyy Blue and a roll of film with a note that said "Here's a drink and some film to get you started...let's bring in the 30's right"

Another box said "Open me second" inside it was a "magazine" she had created on the computer to look like "Cosmopolitan" that said April 2000 Issue "How will you survive your 30's? Are you a Hip Chick or an Ancient Artifact? Take our quiz"

Inside were questions that coordinated with the A and B presents for example:

1) When you go out on a windy day, and you need something to keep your hair away from your face which would you prefer?
A. was a hair net!
B. was a package of "hip" hair clippies

Another one was "You are showing some leg, what is on it?"
A. A pair of plain white athletic socks
B. A pair of knee his

IT was very entertaining and the best part was I know she put so much time and effort into it to make it special. We had some great laughs over the gag gifts.
