I am exhausted and excited about this post! I have just spent 12 hours away from home with 1/3 of that in a vehicle driving. We spent a wonderful day with family so it was worth it. On the way to our destination I met with my mum for a few minutes. My b-day is coming up and since she knew she wouldn't see me on my birthday she decided to give me my present early. The funny thing about my mum is once you have the present in your hand you have to open it. I totally get it...especially since mum's b-day presents are always personal presents. Do you want to see what she gave me??? Let me prepare you...I was verklempt ...
She had my very first stamp set framed!!! She ordered it, she took a stamping/scrapbook lesson and put this together for me. Is that not the sweetest thing? I am so blessed!!! I plan to place it above my desk so that I can look at it every day. Thank you so much mum!! I love you.
I also want to thank Jennifer from Scrapbookin Adventures for her part in orchestrating this too!
So now onto today's card...

Oh my goodness, that is awesome! So thoughtful! I must say though, for us of us who want but don't have your set yet... it is pure torture seeing it sealed behind glass! I see it in scrapbook room with a sign above it that says... "break glass in case of a stress emergency"
