Is it still my birthday?

According to my friend it still is my birthday! I just received her present yesterday, and the package was filled with the most fun stuff ever. Inside was a handmade purse, a gorgeous wallet (it feels like snake skin but it's not, of course), and some yummy Cadbury Creme Eggs (my favorite!).

She also made me this lovely birthday card:

A couple of weeks ago, I won a really exciting prize over at the There She Goes blog. Every week, Jessica, owner of There She Goes Clear Stamps, does a Week In Review where she posts all the cards showcased throughout the week. You then have a chance to win one of those cards. When I entered the contest, she was giving away ALL of the cards shown that week, so I actually ended up winning 11 handmade cards from Jessica and her design team! Super cool, right? I've been slowly getting these cards in the mail which is like getting a little gift every day. Here are a few that I've received so far.

This first one is by Jessica herself. In case you can't see the greeting, it says, "That's hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch!" LOL!

This next one is by Joanne Grzelak (check out her BLOG for some awesome card ideas):

Finally, here's one made by Becky Carafa (here BLOG is great, too!):

I hope you enjoyed looking at all those beautiful cards!

how fun!!!! I'm so glad my stuff made it out to you albeit a bit late. :( Wear the purse with pride and enjoy everything! Are the eggs gone already?

Can't wait to see what the other cards look like - you sure were a lucky winner that week and to think it was your first entry ever for that giveaway!
