It's a sickness. Has to be!







I had won a special drawing (also a great tutorial) over to Outi's site for a Pendibulle.



I pulled the puffy envelope (have I mentioned how much I LOVE puffy envelopes?) from the mail box and brought it inside, setting in on the kitchen table.
I didn't open it for hours.
Yes, hours!
I have realized this system for getting things done. You know: bills need to be paid, dinner made, laundry folded, blah blah blah.. and the only way I can get these things done when fun stuff come in the mail (this includes my issues of World of Cross Stitch and Cross Stitcher) is not opening them until such-and-such is completed. Then I sit in a comfy place, this time being right at the table, and open those lovely treats.



I took the pictures right away but didn't take them out of the camera until just now. Sorry for the delay.


The Pendibulle is so nice. :) And look, what is that? A pattern too! "Tribe #1" -from Lady P of Periphaeria Designs herself! And a stunning post card with a snowy scene of Finland.


Thank you Outi!

Lucky girl. I like your approach to opening surprise packages. I rip them apart almost before I get them out of the mailbox.

Oh, hooray for you, Angela!! So happy you won (though of course I'd been hoping I would - LOL!)

My, you are disciplined! I agree with Outi, though, and will be waiting to see your efforts. ;)

I have the same procedure for opening treats that arrive in the mail. I won't let myself look at it until I have accomplished everything that I wanted to do. Really helps you get motivated! lol
Have a great day!!
