*A SURPRISE PACKAGE*

HEY GUYS! I am so EXCITED to tell you about a surprise package i received today!!

Ok so i was in a swap on swap-bot.com with the theme of a Mason Jar. Mine was cute and the lady really loved it! Which makes me more than excited about but i have never received such a package in my life for just one ATC swap and it could not have come at a better time.

So this weekend kinda rocked and sucked all at once. I worked Saturday 430 to 1130 off from the motel then got up on Sunday at like noon bc i couldnt sleep anymore bc i was to excited for Beth coming to town layed in bed all day tho but couldnt sleep i was so tired tho so at 3 to 5 hung with boyfriend and then went and had dinner with Beth and her amazing parents (no lie!) then we went to her other best friends house Jess she's super nice and her and i have alot in common (including a mutual best friend, named Beth!) well the 3 of us watched Frozen which we all love and Beth, her boyfriend Kevin, her brother Paul and her parents Sandi and Dave all went to see Frozen on Christmas Day in 2013 so it's an extra special movie to me bc of that. We were there til i went to work at midnight to 8am. Monday like the same thing happened i was to excited so i got like no sleep then about 7ish i was so worn out i texted Beth and told her i was sleepy and i did want to see her but bc i had to work like 16 hours straight i needed sleep and luckily for me she's amazing and totally understands especially since she now works two jobs also. So, slept for a few hours... horribly tho. Got up and at 11:10 and got ready and walked to work at the Motel for midnight to 8 am then went to the store to work 9 to 5pm LONG DAY! The truck didn't come on Monday bc of Labor Day. Plus being a small town everyone was off on Monday so every had to work and apparently everyone needed coffee, red bulls and monster energy drinks today it was a mad house to say the least. I also was training the new manager on our register which was a little slow going on that but he's a nice guy and try to put things away at the same time it was crazy. So boyfriend picked me up we went got McDonalds and went home to eat and watch some criminal minds on Netflix i fell asleep about 7ish then got up at 1030 to shower and bout that time boyfriend went to bed (later than he has been bc of all the extra work he has with his quoted "field promotion"... basically his manager is on bed rest for the rest of her high risk pregnancy and him being the assistant manager it falls to him but we love his manager, we have known her for 7 years and wish her a safe pregnancy with a healthy baby!) but not at work at the motel.

SO BASICALLY THIS SURPRISE PACKAGE WAS MUCH NEEDED AND REALLY REALLY APPRECIATED! More than I could really say. I thank Kim VERY MUCH!

She really hit the nail on the head i have never had anyone do so well at picking things for me. seriously it was like i went to your craft area and pick it all out myself!

SO ON TO THE GOOD STUFF.... ALL THE FUN STUFF KIM SENT ME!

Phobia P

Hey guys so today's post is another one that i have done continuing on the Phobia series tho i did get to M or she didnt post it or i just missed it idk but I did do some and I keep look at this one and I love it!



This one was made with 2 different blues and a white paper i used a hole punch to punch the circles then i put it on black card stock. Then wrote on it with a black sharpie. Plain and simple but does the trick!
