I can't wait to get into telling you all about my box and what a great SS I have for this round! As I opened the box, the first thing to greet me was shredded paper. Not just any old shredded paper, but a pretty red and white gift wrap that was shredded. It was the same gift wrap that my SS took the time anc are to wrap most of my gifts in. I really loved it. I received some gorgeous white ribbon with red and gold hearts on it, a container of Jelly Belly sours that becomes a pencil sharpener when the Jelly Bellys are gone (so cool!), a set of 5 glitter glue pens, sheets of stickers and a really nice handstamped Valentine card, a package of see-through bags with a teddy and heart on them (lunch bag size), a black cherry scented candle and holder (so nice to smell and I appreciate so much that you read my bio and know I can't have floral scents and picked this out for me), a box of fruit flavored teas and another box of Folgers speciality coffee flavors (both of these I lost to my Mom who quickly claimed them for herself ), a beautiful cup with a heart-shaped handle and hearts all over it (I am going to keep this on my stamping table to hold the pens I am using for whatever project I am currently stamping until I put them back on my pen rack - I will enjoy thinking of you when I see my special cup), bags of heart confetti, Valentine cookie cutters, assorted colored tissue paper and rice paper napkins cut into floral shapes, a plastic heart filled with tissue paper and a whole bunch of unmounted stamps (I love them, especially the Route 66 and the teacup house for fantasy scenes. When I was a child, I traveled Route 66 alot with my parents and you can bet I will use this one a lot). Then there is a see=thru bag with a bunch of mounted unmounteds which my SS put together for me (thanks, Sweetie ). Then I couldn't believe my eyes at this beautiful creation sitting in the middle of the box carefully surrounded and packed by all my other goodies. It is a rubber plant created by my SS! It starts with a pot that has stamped and painted hearts on it as well as a couple of wood ladybugs. Then there is some greenery in the pot and coming out of the pot is a wire creation of a plant. Hanging on its branches are roses, a red inkpad, three rubber stamps (that's why I called this my "rubber plant", and wood red hearts that have Valentine greetings on them. SS, you are so creative and thank you for this special creation of yours. I LOVE it so much! This box was endless and it took me a full hour to unwrap each item and enjoy it. I had such a fun time and was so happy to have gotten such a wonderful SS. I will look forward to getting to know you in these next few months. And, thanks so very much for truly making my day!

I just got over it and it took me 2 and 1/2 weeks, but my husband and son got over it in about 10 days. It is a nasty bug, but the best thing to do is not overdue, which I did and I paid for it in extra days. Hope you get to feeling better soon and start stampin' again.
