So this huge box showed up this morning at my door. I was pretty stunned because I wasn't expecting anything, at least not this big! I was a bit worried because I have been doing a calendar RR and every month to box seems to get bigger and bigger. I was dreading the thought that this might just be another calendar, grown to monstrous proportions!
Hmm..no it can't be a calendar-it's got Deb's return addy on it and Katie is the one who sends me calendar journals...Hmmm...
Oh look! A lifetime's supply of Styrofoam peanuts! Just what I always wanted! This is my lucky day!! Deb said she was sending me her pages for our ATC collaborative book...these might just be a bit bigger than the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch dimensions...
SURPRISE! It was Deb's ATC pages and also this wonderful folk art sheep! COOL! Deb knows I love folk art and this is definitely something I don't have. So I have named him Ewan and I think he needs some funky wool blanket on his back. I will have to design something. Deb says she has Ewan's mate at her house so perhaps the mate also needs a wool blanket too! *wink*
Thank you so much Deb for such a great surprise. You spoil me absolutely rotten and I really appreciate it. You are so sweet to me. xox
In other news, I am at it again, cleaning, purging and organizing my workspace. It's been driving me mad-so much junk piling up and I just can't stand it. Right now there are papers all over the place as I sort through what to keep and what to junk. I do this whole massive clean up about 3-4 times a year. The coming of fall always spurs me to want to do it again. Thank god for charity drop boxes-I just fill bags up with stuff I am no longer using and drop them off as I fill them. It makes life so much easier and I feel good knowing someone who can really use the extras will get them.
Back to work! :)

I love the sheep and his name is a delight.
I, too, am trying to to the clean/purge thing. I love my "stuff" but every now and again, realize I have way too much and then off it goes.
Hope you are well!
