Ripstik

And this is the ripstik that Laurie had....and yes I had a go :)

The card trick Laurie had!

This is the Hummer card that Laurie had for his birthday.

Birthday Boy

Here is Laurie with two of his gifts....the Ripstik he wanted - which is like a weird skateboard thing that twists as you move....and a Hummer card - a kind of magic trick.

Laurence is 13 today! Happy Birthday Laurie!!!

Yummy mail day!

Today was a very good mail day for me - and it wasn't even MY birthday!!! :) Thank you Mom and Dad for the goodies you sent me too! The book on West Coker looks VERY good! Oh and yes, my Mom has been hinting for years that I should write a story book for children about a naughty little girl named Abigail - based on the antics of Abby ;)

ATC's received from Swap-bot!!

Here are the first three packages of ATC's I have received from participating in swaps at Swap-bot!!!! As you can see, most people put in little notes or stickers or little bits of cardstock or paper to be used on future ATC's!!! I like the notes best - I got one ATC - the cupcake one from a girl at Uni in the UK!!! :)

One lady who is sending me an ATC actually found me on Facebook and added me as a friend!!! She lives in South Africa and is an artist - she teaches art classes so I cant WAIT to get her card!!! Her Daughter lives in England!!

It's so nice getting so much mail :) Going to the mail box and finding these lovely envelopes full of goodies for me :) Its really exciting to get them!!! Yesterday I mailed off three postcards for one swap and two ATC's for another swap...One postcard is heading for Singapore!!!
