Packages in the mail!

I love getting packages in the mail. It feels almost like Christmas! I could get soooo in trouble shopping on line.
So yesterday I was feeling all annoyed and on my way home I stopped to check the mail. My package from CrazyScraps had arrived. YAY! Instantly I felt better. ***giggle*** Nine new embossing folders to play with (spots and dots, my fav!). And some cranberry ink (just in time for valentines day). I can't wait for the weekend.
Well thats my news for today! Hope you all have a great day, since we are on the downhill side of the week!
Enjoy!
