Hello sweet Cindy, aka YLM and sweet stamper to all of us!
I couldnt believe this when I opened it! Talk about being in heaven: I just happened to receive a gift from Cindy that was like being a kid all over again. Finally, for the first time in my life, I actually received a gift that was almost bottomless!
I cant tell you how long it took for me to reach in that adorable bag and take out one punched embellishment after another. Thank you so much. You have such a special place in my heart, Cindy!
Inside I just couldnt believe my eyes! All kinds of wonderful bird shapes, medallions, holiday leaves, balloons, flourishes and just everything I dont have. Nope. I dont own any punches!
BTW, check out that adorable bag Cindy sent to hold all these special punched embellies! It looks, looks like Cindy took a small white bag, cut it in half and applied her swiss dots cs to either side.
If you havent kept up with what's going on in Cindy's gallery, I would encourage to go check it out post haste: She's on fire over there with tons of creativity and gorgeous cards. Go, see for yourself:
Cindy, you're the best. You know though that I cant not make reference to my being totally amazed at the work that comes from you, a Methodist! This Catholic girl is mightily impressed!
Hugs to you sweet, sweet Cindy!
Please take a moment and check out Cindy's gallery and then leave her a comment about her wonderfully generous spirit of giving!

Wow! Maybe I should send Cindy my address. Well-deserved for you, Ann. Fabulous generosity on Cindy's part. We can't wait to see what you make with your new embellishments, Ann!

That is so cool. Have fun playing with all those cool punched embellies. I can't believe you don't own any punches. I see she sent you some medallions, that is so sweet. I could barely do the one I did. Those are hard to make, or maybe is just me. Anyway I'll be watching to see your awesome creations with this.

Hey Girlfriend! this is a cute picture but the bird is up side down!!! tail goes to the left nose to the right! Now cut up those balloons and Make some RED CARDNAILS for your friends! it is the state bird right? Just follow the one I made for you as a pattern! I didn't enclose the black square that makes the eye patch. Just cut the size small square you want the cut it in half.Volia eye patch give it a dot of white and you have the state bird! Enjoy PS I'll send you some small white paper sacks next time!

What lovely shapes and colours - that should be getting you inspired. You're supposed to use them, not look at them, LOL. No punches - gosh, I think I had punches before I even had more than 3 stamps. But we don't have the same variety over here, and they do tend to bump the carriage up ordering from State-side.
