I thought I heard heavy footsteps upstairs this morning...which are often attributed to my (overweight) kitties. You see, I work in the basement level of the house and generally in silence, except for some random snoring should either one of the kitties decide to come downstairs and nap.
Today, the footsteps were that of Mr. UPS himself, dropping a heavy box of on my doorstep. Could it be??? FINALLY!!! My samples from Sizzix have at long last arrived. We all had to stop and admire the box...
some of us even sniffed it again and again, trying to get a sense of where it had been and why it took sooooo long to get here.
After searching franticly for a pair of scissors, we managed to open that bad boy up and...
were we ever excited to see the actual, real life, made of steel and rubber, not just pixels on my computer, DIES!!!!! Now the big hairy dilemma is...3 days until I leave for Surtex, more art to finish, deadlines to meet, a travel/wardrobe to figure out, a much needed manicure and haircut to schedule and promo materials to design and print. All this while still needing to keep up with the latest Orphan Works legislation so I can continue the good fight for artist's rights. GHEEEESH, no wonder I'm crabby. And today, all I WANT to do is play with my Sizzix samples.
Tomorrow, be sure to log onto The Scrapbookers Clubhouse where I'm hosting the sketch challenge for their big hooohaaah celebrity sketch extravaganza! I designed a multi tag card and made up a sample using some of my paper designs from the INITIALLY YOURS paper and chipboard stacks I sell on QVC.com Just go to the QVC link and type my name in the search field...Brenda Pinnick.
Oh how lovely Brenda...thosepussy cats are sooo cute:)x

Don't you just love samples??? It's like Christmas morning or your birthday or something :-) I find that the samples have begun to take over and finding space for them is becoming a challenge. I give a lot away, but we have to keep some of them for ourselves ~ they're like our babies!
