Remember those ATCs that went missing mysteriously? I found them a couple of days ago in my scrap closet on a shelf! They weren't at eye level, so that's probably why it took me so long to find them. I'm glad they finally turned up!
Yesterday was a very fun day. I spent time with a couple of my girlfriends scrapping the day away! I actually made two pages and helped my friend complete a mini album for her folks. We ate yummy lasagna (thanks, Jackie!) and had way too much sugar. Isn't that what scrapping is all about? LOL!
As if scrapping all day long wasn't fun enough, I came home to find two cards in the mail! One of them was from my friend, Bren. She made me the CUTEST card and Fourth of July ATC. Thanks, Bren!!
The other card I received was from my blogging buddy, Kim. Kim is an amazing scrapbooker and has been published on numerous occassions. Check out her blog to see her cool pages :)
Here's the card she made for me. Someone knows me well! Check out that beaded hippo on the front. It pops off to become a key chain!
Inside the card was yet another hippo keychain made in Africa :) I love it!! Thanks, Kim!!
Tomorrow, I'm going back to my friend's house for another day of scrapping! I'm hoping to work on a mini book of some sort. Until next time, have a creative day!

Hey Sam...I am so glad the card arrived in one piece, although it is looking mighty crumpled hahaha! but to be expected I suppose, having just traveled half way around the world.
Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement! You are such a honey...& deserve lots of hippo surprises in the mail.

Love your little hippo! What a cutie!
And don't feel silly for misplacing/losing those ATC's. Sounds like a day in the life of me! I am so good at and putting things in one place, turning around, and coming back only to have no idea where I last put it!
Glad you found them :) Cute hippo stuff.
great stuff, Sam! Love that hippo card - the pin adds the perfect touch. KJ's talented!

Have a great week:0x

Sounds like so much fun! Enjoy your day with friends!
Such great fun mail...good friends you have!
WOW Sam...you've been busy...just luv that hippo...
Hi Sam! What an awesome hippo card with keychains...you have nice friends!
I just wanted to pop in and tell you thanks again! and that folder I made from your tutorial won an honorable mention over at Nichole Headys blog. I linked your tutorial from my blog in case any one wants directions. Thanks so much for posting them, you rock!
Wow! Your work has really gotten even more creative and accomplished since you started. I am amazed.
On another note, I thought subscribing to your RSS feed would automatically send me emails whenever you post a new blog, but it doesn't. How can I be notified? I am so busy, I often forget to seek them out... so far, I'm not liking blogger as much as myspace.
Just popped over to say"Hi" Samantha hope you are well:)x
Hi ya, Sam! Just popping in to say that I've missed seeing your work online but am thankful I had the opportunity to see a few bits in the mail not too long ago. :)
