A nice surprise

My sister won a cool prize at an event that she attended recently.  It was a basket full of rubber stamps and other items.  She wanted to keep the basket since it was quite nice but she bagged up the contents and gave them to me!   She doesn't make cards and isn't into scrapbooking either so she had no use for any of it.  

Even though I have hundreds of stamps, these are all from the company 'Stampin' Up!' and I don't have many of them so I was thrilled to accept her generous gift.

Now maybe someone can give me a little of their spare time so I can start playing with all these goodies.   I could really use a few extra hours!!  I can't believe it's already Thursday night!   I have a craft fair this weekend and still have display cards to make, 'PHILS' earrings to finish, and a couple Halloween cards to get ready......

Better get back to my craft room.  

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Waiting... waiting....

My sister was kind enough to take a bag of my jewels to her office recently to show  co-workers.  Cool, eh?  However, since it's the end of summer, a few ladies were on vacation so she kept the bag to show them upon their return.  Now she's away on vaction!!  But she assured me that when she returns, she'll show the others who wanted to take a look.

Of course, I'm wondering.... what sold already?  She said there were a few sales before she left.  Initially, it was a pair of abalone earrings she bought from me and was wearing in work that someone admired.  So I did include a few pairs in the bag.  Hmmm.... did these sell?? 

Or maybe one of my abalone bracelets found a new home??

The holidays ARE coming... 95 days until Christmas!   Maybe someone was thinking ahead and purchased these red dangles for themselves or a gift? 

OR with all the drama that sometimes goes on in her office, maybe someone found these whimsical ones to be appropriate.   

Ah, maybe it wasn't any of those items that sold.  The Phillies sure are HOT this year and I did send in some of those PHILS earrings (see post below), so it could have been a pair or two of them, or a stretchy bracelet, or ... or ... or ...

OH this is an exercise in patience!
