I am waiting for a couple of packages to come from back East and on the tracking it says delays because of the weather in the mid west. One of them was sent Feb.18.
and look how long it took for Diane to get her Smash book. Am I helping here?
hugs.
love you all

Well, girls, this is the smash book that Debbie ("buzzn bee") made for me and I am SPEECHLESS!!!    
As you can see she spared no effort, creativity, time or her love in putting this together for me. There are all kinds of pockets with all kinds of tags in them, the pages . . .and everything are wonderfully decorated with ribbon, jewels, lace, tags, clips . . you name it. There are little tags and envelopes tucked everywhere . . AMAZING!! AWESOME!!!
As you can she see also put together an "apronista" page for me with my photo. And, yes, Debbie I found the "BLACK MAIL PHOTOS" folders and envelope. Nope, didn't take a pic of that because it's SECRET!!!

This is a close up of the charm she has been referring to as needing to be attached. A music bird with a little bird . . I'm a musician and my daughter is Robin, nickname is "Birdie". What a sweet touch!

My "apronista" page . . talk about the personal touch!

My own apron coloring pages! Who'd a thunk it?!

There are postcards clipped with a fancy clip in this pocket page

She attached some tiny envelopes to the spiral in a few places but also had tucked in other envelopes into pockets and there are flower printed pieces of blank paper inside those little envelopes for little notes!

Okay, so as if that wasn't enough Debbie ALSO sends me a readymade smash book with a lot of goodies to use in and/or with it.
Am I spoiled! I think sooooooo!!!!

And, I'm hugely blessed by this special treasure made with a lot of personal touches just for me.
Yup, I did cry!
THANK YOU DEBBIE . . . more than I can express!
GOD BLESS YOU!

Ceejay,
Iam thrilled that you love your homemade smash book! I had so much fun making it for you. The first "Birdie" charm had the little tiny hanging ring broke off. I was so thankful I was able to order another one. Sweetie, this is why it took so long to get the book to you. I contacted Beth J. and Maddie to get their opinion, all agreed that the charm needed to be attached when you opened it. I was afraid you might start thinking you would never receive it. Bless the mail delivery for finally coming through.
I know you said you like the color purple and teal blues, I wish I could have found a better shade of teal, but all in all it worked out okay. I loved making the coloring pages and the MaryJane Magazine cover for you. You are a true "Apronista." I hope the long wait was worth it. You are very dear to me, and I wanted it to be special for you.
Have fun with it! Maybe you could donn another red nightie and cowboy boots with your gun at your side. Have hubby take a picture and tuck it in your folder marked "Blackmail Photos" LOL!
Love ya girl. Thank you for all the nice compliments. I love looking at all the journals and smash books, we have a lot of super talented sisters. Aren't we just the luckiest group of ladies that ever was?
Hugs to you and all my farmsisters!

Debbie,
I have to tell you that, this afternoon, our son Jeremy was looking at the beautiful smash book you made me and just admiring it SOOOOO much!
He is 39 years old, with Down Syndrome and just appreciates a lot of beautiful things. He went through the book, slowly and carefully turning all the pages, looking and enjoying, we talked about the tags and little goodies tucked here and there! It was such joy to watch him!
Thought you'd like to know that!
Thanks again for the BEAUTIFUL BOOK!
