. . . and I reasoned that since it was the holidays, it might be mid January before I got the goodies, so I sat back and waited. And waited. Finally, the last week of January I e-mailed them and asked about the goodies I was so anxiously awaiting. Before long I got a very nice, and very apologetic return e-mail. The employee (who shall remain nameless), was so sorry, she had forgotten to send my address to the people who were supposed to send out the goodies.
I e-mailed her back and told her it was okay, I understood that she had had the holidays and then CHA and I was sure she'd had much more to do than keep up with my goodies. I got another note from her, and she thanked me for being so understanding, and was going to send me BOTH of the Ooh La La lines to thank me! And so I got this one as well . . .
How cool is that!!! So, I finally got them the other day. Apparently the brown truck had a hard time getting here with all the weather issues around the country, but that was okay! I knew my goodies from My Minds Eye were on their way. (Have I told you how much I love MME??? Yep, I thought so!)
So of course I had to make a card first thing,and here is what I came up with . . .
