about what I got in the mail today :banana:

cute-cute-cute - SS THANK YOU - THANK YOU - it really was a very pleasant surprise at the end of a frustrating week at work! Sor-r-y you have to hear me complain first :rotfl: I went to the office on Monday and my computer, laser printer and phone all "fried" over the weekend. Needless to say (but I am saying it anyway :rotfl2:) I felt like a displaced person all week - move here while someone checks this out, along with a couple of "I need this pronto" (oh sure.........) okay - you got that picture

NOW .......... time for the TGIF picture :yay:

HOME- ah yes - HOME - didn't even - no, I truly did NOT even think about a package coming today and my DH came in from mowing the yard- he checked the mail and whoa - brought me a package :cloud9: Now, some of you can "wait" and savor just looking at it - well - that is not me - NEVER! so, I opened it and IMMEDIATELY felt the TLC - ooze right out - yes - SS - did I say "Thank you" okay - okay let me tell what CUTE things were in there!

eyelet star snaps - clear star with a white eyelet in center
faux wax seals (birthday)
adorable Mickey Hands - m's and outline shapes
New Year's Eve clebration stickers (kinda like Jolee's style of items)
We "love" our troops stickers by Jolee
button style -baby sayings
chipboard pumpkins
black alphabet letters
and really cute holiday collection Christmas cookie baking pieces (now SS did you know that my DD (ohMom and her aunt and I have baked cookies together for lots of years and it scheduled again this year!)

It is so much fun to get items that I don't see in this "neck of the woods"
now for the next best thing (besides getting my package today) I am off to put on some comfy jammies - prop up my feet and have just a small glass of vino :flower3:

I am taking my "treasures" with me - cause I am sure I will be checking them out at least one more time tonight, too

THANK YOU SS - you made my TGIF - a GREAT ONE!!

I make them all the time. They are really easy.

I'll post the instructions tomorrow.



I'm assuming that you just happen to know how to make them also and are not her secret sister:rolleyes1 I'm just giving you a bad time, I'm sure there are lots of people who know how to do it, I'm just not one of them so Please, please, please post directions for those of us who don't know yet! Or maybe I DO know how and I am just trying to throw a SS off track...Muahaha!

Nope not her SS. I make them all the time and give them to other DISers.


Accordian Scrapbook

Materials Needed:

These need to coordinate with each other:
* 3 sheets of 12x12 solid cardstock (thinner is easier to use)
* 2 sheets of 12x12 patterned paper cut into 7 1/4 inch squares for the cover
* 1 sheet 12x12 patterned paper cut into 5 1/2 inch squares
* 1 sheet of 12x12 patterned paper cut into 5 1/2 inch squares and then cut into triangles. There will be two extra triangles.
* 1 sheet of 12x12 patterned paper cut into 5 1/2 inch squares and then cut into triangles. There will be two extra triangles.

Also needed:
* 2 squares of cardboard (cereal boxes work well) cut into 6 1/4 inch squares for the cover stiffener.
* 1 yard of ribbon without wire that compliments the cover paper
* permanent adhesive - Tape runners seem to work best.



Instructions:

1) Fold a piece of cardstock in half lengthwise. Open it up and fold it the other way, lengthwise again, so that you have creases going both ways. You are creating smaller squares within the big square. Make crisp folds

2) Turn the piece of cardstock over so that the creased edges are pointing up, forming a "mountain." Fold it in half diagonally, one time, taking one corner up to meet the other corner. (This time, just do one fold.)

3) Repeat for each piece of cardstock.

4) Once all three pieces are folded, lay them out in front of you so that the first and third form "valleys" while the middle one forms a "mountain."

5) Glue the three pieces of cardstock together:
- Glue the left piece to the middle piece by completely covering the far right square on the left piece with the far left square of the middle piece.
- Glue the right piece to the middle piece by completely covering the far left square on the right piece with the far right square of the middle piece.

6) Glue the 4 squares to the four card stock squares.

7) Alternate the triangles on the sides.

8) Adhere a piece of card board to the back of each piece of patterned paper for the cover. Fold the edges of the patterned paper around the board like you are wrapping a present. Clip off the corner triangles.

9) Take the ribbon and glue it to the inside of a cover. This is now the back cover.

10) Glue the cardstock to the back cover so the ribbon is between the cardstock and the cover.

11) Glue the front cover to the card stock. Make sure to have the front and back covers facing the same way.

12) fold the album together and tie a bow.


See the photos above if you have any questions.

I will try to answer any other questions.
 
I've got one of Mickeyfan2's books.. it's ariel....it's a water theme.. I need to develop our photos from a swim party to put in it... :)
I love it!!! :)
 
I have been lucky enough to be some exchanges with Mickeyfan2 and have received some of her towels & accordian books. I used one of her Thanksgiving ones as a present for my sister. She thought it really neat. My eldest has one done in pirate theme. You should have seen him dance around the house when he got it. You would have thought it was the new Halo game.
 
To my secret sister...

To describe you in one word.. AWESOME!.. You have no idea the week I've had. Fighting the flu and a severe migraine. My husband picked up Raine from cheer leading today so I could take a nap. When I woke up there was a package on the foot of my bed.

How exciting! I picked it up and it jingled. Loved the note on the outside "rattle ok"

Inside i received a altered Halloween bucket filled with my favorite candy! Reece's peanut butter cups! with a jack o lantern jingling bell, and a candy corn rice crispy treat *yum*


Thank you so much for making me feel so much better about so many things. It's such a simple pleasure knowing someone out there is thinking of me. I do appreciate you more than you know.
 
Alex just got the cutest little box from his SS today.
Inside was a Hallmark bear in a skeleton costume and coupons good for 20 free child frostees.
The bear is now called "Bearie the Bear" It's a family tradition to name animals with their animal name. (husband's family) :rotfl:

His brother is officially jealous, but Alex gave him a pack of coupons so he is all better now. Alex is my peacemaker.

He thanks his SS and so do I. :thanks:
 
A big thank you to my Secret Sister - I came home tired from a week at the D Land and received the cutest little card. It actually had a secret THEME a little dog dressed as a ghost!

Thank you - it's nice to have something positive when I come home instead of just a lot of unpacking!
 
I got a package today filled with just a bit of a surprise! :) It had some boy and girl stickers (super cute!) and candies (chewy, brown and tan - don't know what they are called - except for eaten! :lmao: ). A beautiful hand made Halloween card with embossed elements accompanied my gift. Thanks so much. I'll still waiting for good news about my dad, so a little present was just what I needed! :)

I almost forgot! The best part (well, maybe not the best part, but the part I saw first...) was the Mickey stamps on the outside! Super cool! :cloud9:
