Postkassegodis

Ååå, så utrolig hyggelig det var å få pakke fra USA i dag! Supersøte snille Lim har - midt oppi sine spesielt travle hverdager - bestilt og handlet all verdens tingsaker for meg, og i dag lå endelig hentelappen i postkassa *juble juble klapp klapp* Og Lim er Lim, så det kom litt mer enn jeg hadde bestilt *haha* men jeg er glad i henne fordet jeg :) Her sitter jeg og prøver å fordøye; puncher, blomsterhav, knapper, snorer & bånd, lystavleboks, akvarellblokker (jeg ba om to, hun kjøpte fem), 3 pakker SU-stempler... alt dette hadde jeg bestilt & betalt, men i tillegg kom det brads, en pose foamstempler, en kortstokk med monogrammer, et helt spesielt Whipper Snapper-stempel, masse stempeltrykk, matte for papir-piercing og sist, men ikke minst; kort til både mamma og meg :) Halleluja, sier jeg bare. Dette gleder jeg meg til å ta i bruk!!!

Today I recieved an incredible package from USA!! It made me so happy, I'm not capable to express in words, but I think Lim knows how much I aprreciated this, at the end of a week that hasn't left much time for card crafting and blogging. As some of you might know, Lim has been really busy for the last weeks, and still she has ordered and gone shopping goodies for me :) And Lim is Lim, so it was a little more than I had ordered *haha* but I love her anyway :)

Here I sit, trying to digest; punches, flowers, buttons, cords & ties, light table, water colour paper (I asked for two, she bought five), 3 packets of SU-Stamps. All this stuff I've ordered, but on top of that she gave me brads, a bag of foam stamps, a deck of monograms, a very special Whipper Snapper stamp, a lot of stamped images, a mat pack for paper-piercing, and last but not least; cards to both Mom and me:) Hallelujah. I really look forward to use all this stuff!!! Thank you soooooooo much, Lim!!! :)

I postkassa lå også dette kortet, som jeg sendte inn til forrige konkurranse i Ett Trykk. Det kom ikke på pallen, og ettersom det ikke ble publisert i bladet, kan jeg jo legge det ut i bloggen min i stedet. Kortet er laget til en rund dag i sommer, og her er det...

I'll show you this card as well. The card is made for a birthday coming up this summer, and here it is ...

Panelet øverst er sydd på for hånd med tungesting og to tråder i nålen, som det heter på boderispråket :) og her er noen nærbilder av figurene. Etter flere lag og enda flere timer med Distress Ink kunne jeg si meg fornøyd med fargeleggingen på disse ;) men de er ikke fullt så bleke som de ser ut til...

Some close-ups of the images. After several coats, and even more hours with Distress Ink I was quite satisfied with the colouring on these;) but they are not quite so pale that they seem to ...

Close-up of one who tries to be a participant for the celebrating *hihi*
And finally, I have to tell you something amazing:

Last night I could notice 10 000 visitors in my blog!!! I was so excited, I was sitting here watching the counter *haha* (the one at the bottom of my blog)...

It's amazing, after blogging for four months I've had 10 000 visitors here!!! I had plans for this milestone, but I'll have to make a blog candy a little later, as I have no time for this at the moment, with summer holidays coming up.

In the meantime you can enjoy Camilla's blog and her fabulous blog candy, as she has made for the same reason; ten thousand visitors!!! She has made a gorgeous sketch, so go visit her and make a card for her candy!!

I'll say good night to all of you with these words, stamped at one of the envelopes from Lim:

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
