Some Fancy Pants Just walked In My House!

What a fab mail day! I heard my doorbell ring earlier and I wasn't looking too swift with my bed-head and all, so I didn't go to answer the door right away. But when I did I was so stoked to see that the package left was full of yummy "fancy pants" goodness! A few weeks ago I found out that my favorite layout using their products which I entered into the fancy pants first blog challenge placed in the "Top 5". So today I got my winnings... all the new Botanicals papers, rub-ons, die-cuts, and ribbons. They also sent some of the Sassy buttons and posies from the Fashion Sense collection, and 2 of the fun new over-lays. Can not wait to get a chance to dive into this stuff. I just love everything that this company comes out with. In case you haven't been over to the fancy pants blog, here's my winning page...

The journaling wasn't included over on the blog, so here it is if you are interested in the story of,

"Opal and Garnets"...

"After coming home from the hospital without Ava in my arms, I knew I wanted to find a special remembrance ring to wear. I wanted it to include gemstones representing the month of October (Opal), for when she was born, and for the month of January (Garnet), for when she was expected. I really thought that I'd have to get this ring specially created, as those two stones are not commonly found set together in jewelry. It was about a week after her birth and I was at the mall on my first shopping outing, in what seemed like forever, with mom and gram. I was browsing the jewelry counter in at Bon-Ton, when to my surprise - there it was... the most perfect Opal and Garnet ring!

I felt as though an angel (our Ava), was sending me a message in disguise to let me know that everything would be fine. And it will - might just take eternity."


Well, I'm soon outta here for the weekend cause we have some fun plans...a wedding to attend on Saturday and a concert to see on Sunday! Hope everyone else has a great one too!
