AWESOME Gift from Patty ..

Oh my goodness  I  sooo Lost it  and  even  sounded like a  Big baby on the phone  leaving Patty a message  thanking her for  her awesome Gift ... Here's the  funny  story .. I had posted  on March 1st about my  scissor  charms and posted a pic of  the 3 types of scissors  SU! sells  to show  you  all that the scissor charms will fit all 3  and well Patty  I am sure  was  alittle  heart sunk  since she  "Thought " those  craft and paper scissors were mine   Here is Patty's email  from  the other day RE: My  surprise.

Well.. girlie.. I just noticed from your post yesterday.. you probably don't need the item I had SU! send you .....   I thought from a recent video tutorial you did that you needed this item....  aaaaaaack.. well.. sorry if it's a repeat... I thought it was something you needed.  :)   Guess you'll see on Tues. when the UPS man comes. :)  It was the thought that counted. :)

Patty

Now mind you I had made a double post on  that day ( March 1st ) since I got my pre order  from the new  SU! Ocassions Mini  and made THIS CARD   for my 1st post that day  with the  2nd post that day about  my scissor charms with her email I  really thought  it  was going to be the poly  twill chocolate ribbon , Never even crossed my mind that it could  or  would be  the craft and paper scissors OMG!..  But once I opened her gift,  Tears  started flowing  since  I  knew   more about  what her email was saying  then  when I actually  got her email, and I  had to hurry and tell her  those  scissors were my moms & that I just borrowed them for the photo I was taking  with my scissor charms .. WOWZIE what a double fold blessing. Thank you  from  the bottom of my heart Patty ~ AKA Stampin Rock Star ! WOWZIE what a surprise  huh girls ?  Since  I  didn't get a winner  from the comments  about the  correct surprise I received  from  Patty   I figured I would  give   my  card (That will be posted  tomorrow )  to the one gal that posted exactly  what I thought it  would have been  and that is ...

Drum  roll please ....

PESC  Here is her comment :
I bet is a roll of the new ribbon poly in chocolate chip! Pesc Please  email me your mailing address  and I will get this card out to you  tomorrow morning ..

I used the COLUZZLE  to  cut my  chocolate chip cookies out. I also used VELLUM for my  milk line on my jug  and  I free handed the handle .  I used  Bashful Blue for the back layer  with my   FLANNEL PLAID BG stamp  and Chocolate chip  for the  base card I used the  FAMILY PHRASES  for the {Love you much } tag on handle   Attached that  with LINEN thread and used   the LT BLUE GINGHAM ribbon and Then added a silver brad with my Photo  corner punch ..
