Happy birthday to me :-)

I am so excited that I received my package from Stampin'Up! just in time for my big day because that was my gift to myself :-) I nearly had a nervous breakdown when I got home only to find a note from UPS saying that they missed me and would deliver again the following Monday..... nooooooooo so I made a few calls and just when I thought all was lost a nice lady at the UPS receiving store for our area was kind enough to wait for me (even after closing their doors!) yay!!!
I have my new beautiful big shot and a few other goodies that I can't wait to play with! Have a wonderful weekend :-)

Love is like a butterfly!
