Pressies - yipeeeeee

Some of you might know that I am off for a big adventure in three weeks - I am off to Australia for approx 10 days and am going to meet some of the girls from my yahoo group CRAFT , its so exciting but also very scary as I hate - hate - hate flying so its a big deal for me to do this LOL..

Yesterday I opened my mailbox and there was a parcel in there from Australia, from my friend Naomi, and below is what was in it, it was like she read my mind or similar LOL, I have borrowed a lovely big suitcase from my friends which is black and was pondering how the heck I would find my one in amongst all the others - just a small stress LOL.... and low and behold I now have the most gorgeous luggage tags in the world which no one else will have so no problem at all identifying which bag is mine.. hehe also in my parcel was the wee pouch which is what the tags were in and a neat bag which can go across my body, this has so many pockets in it its not funny - I just love it, I love the whole lot, not to mention the colours are just me to a tee, and the sewing on these is simply superb I have to tell you - they look much better up close and personal than in the photos I can promise you. I feel so very lucky to have received this - THANKS SO MUCH NAOMI - see you in three weeks my girl LOL





And heres another photo of my wee giraffe - everyone though it was blue and green, NO WAY this baby is purple and green - hehe.........

  8. You all know me so well...the day after I sent it I double checked with Khris that I'd sent it to the right Sharon! lmao Girl, an Aunty like you deserves to get a surprise and a way of recognising your luggage was something I thought looked like you could make use of! The giraffe looks so cute....and such lovely colours....so I'm guessing Sharon2 is going to make one now and throw even more confusion around for me! lol Hugs and glad you liked your pressie. Naomi
