The luckiest girl in the world

Yep, that’s me! Oh so lucky and feeling very warm and fuzzy.

A couple days ago I received a most delightful present. A present that was completely unexpected, a present that made me squeal – yes, squeal. I am not much of a squealing type of girl, but when you receive presents in the mail such as this, you cannot do anything but squeal!

A handcrafted, awesomest of awesome Plane from Ms. Cardigan - a most hilarious, whacky, insightful, talented and all round pretty cool chick.

Check out the Skull embroidery! Eeek! Not only is she patient enough to embroider two skull and crossbones, she also took the time to personalise her funky plane to my personal likes… pretty special chick, huh? It even has a ribbon so I can hang it from the ceiling – I love it!

Doesn’t it rock?
Doesn’t Ms. Cardigan rock?
I think so.

Ms. Cardigan lives over {here} – pop by her blog, you are sure to be inspired, entertained, gain a friend and you might, if you’re lucky, get to meet the Mad Scientist.

As a little brightener for your day, I present Mr Frank Sinatra:

Did you see that tumbleweed?

Hmm, it seems my lil ole' blog is looking very sad and neglected, but that is what happens when you become consumed by silly facebook games such as Mafia Wars (are you a facebook addict as well?).

It seems that I also have much, much reading to catch-up on, you crafty chicks sure know how to yack!

Just for fun, here is a Lego Man, cos Lego rules. So does Wolverine.
