Hey Peeps, hope you're having a great week.  

I received this awesome "happy mail" from my sweet cuz today.   When I opened the pkg, I was like, "WHOA!!!!"  And you can see why.    Alrighty let's start with her card.  She made this gorgeous card using the "Flowering Quince" die by Sizzix.  B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L yah?

And here's a pix of the die.   Love it!!!

I think she has mental telepathy because I was thinking of getting these dies.

And she included some great paper to color with my Copics!

THANKS CUZ FOR YOUR SWEET THOUGHTFULNESS.  I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!

Meet Yumi

Happy Aloha Friday Peeps!  Hope you have a fun and exciting weekend up ahead.

I was so excited to have received my Yumi and Fumi stamps so quickly.  WOW, talk about speedy service. I eagerly inked up "Yumi Peace Sign" and created this Mother's Day card.  Using washi paper that I bought in Japan, I paper pieced Yumi's kimono.  Doesn't she look happy all dressed up?  I think she's ready to go Bon dancing.

And here's a peek inside.  I fussy cut a few flowers from the same washi paper used for Yumi's kimono.

Hoot-Hoot

Meet Mr. Owl.  Isn't he cool with his eyeglasses?  The image didn't come with it but when my cuz gave me a  card with a chick wearing glasses, I couldn't resist getting the dies to give Mr. Owl some character.    For a little added dimension, I adhered a tiny little puffy heart sticker over the heart on the image.

Here's a close-up.....

Another Sweet B/D Gift

Happy Sunday Peeps!   

I want to share this sweet card that my dear friend sent to me. Turquoise and pink is actually one of my favorite color combo. And anything Hello Kitty is ALWAYS CUTE.   LOVE IT!!!

Here's the adorable die and Embosslit she sent.  SWEET!!!!

And yummy goodies for my after-meal treat.......

And some enlightening booklets......

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!

I was also surprised at work last week when my co-worker friends got a lot of goodies to celebrate my b/d. We all enjoyed the Peach Cake and manju (filled with Sweet Potato or Tsubushi An).  And one of our staff comes to our office from Oahu once a week and she brought Zip Pak bentos and some YUMMY Apple and Chocolate Napples (turnovers) from Zippy's for everyone.  She's awesome.  The office "lights up" whenever she's here.   I practically rolled out of the office that day after all that good food.  In fact, I had to save the Somen Salad that one of the awesome ladies also gave me for the next day.  THANK YOU EVERYONE.  YOU ALL MADE MY B/D A VERY, VERY SPECIAL ONE AND I TRULY APPRECIATE IT.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a super week.  Toodles!

Under the Stars Bear

I couldn't resist this cute little bear image by Kitty Bee Designs from Ben Franklin Crafts.  What a cutie huh? To create a little scene, I added a couple of hills of grass and to add dimension, I used two different shades of green, and some grass.  To match the glittered flowers on the DP, I added Stickles to the pink flower.   The image came with 3 stars but I used my star dies by Memory Box from Island Scrapbooking  and adhered it over the stars on the image.

Here's a close-up of the flowers.....
