Actually, it should say a RAK and Day { 17 } ! Because the RAK came before my Day 17 page! I received my very first RAK from wonderful wonderful generous generous (did I say generous?) Malou!!! Thank you SO MUCH! You HAVE to go say hi to her here! The RAK was beyond what I thought a RAK could be? She posted a sweet little envelope on her blog and I thought that was it and I was SO tickled. Well, that was only a personal letter she included in the RAK. Inside the package were goodies goodies and MORE goodies! I am just overwhelmed...can you tell???
So for my Day 17 using only goodies from the lovely Malou's RAK. Well actually I used my own turquoise ink pad, black pen, and adhesive...but the things that make it fun and pretty are courtesy of Malou!
Day { 17 }
This one was so fun!!! And I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time I was working on it! (That was actually part of Malou's instructions!)
So here are a few fun fun fun pictures!
Just HAD to have my sweety pie take a picture of me before I opened the box! Made the decision not to show Malou's address!
Atticus was so excited for me too! I'm sure he was saying "open, open, open!" even though it came out "purrrreow!" :-)
And then, dear reader,when I opened the box, there were goodies. Goodies of every imaginable kind. Things I've seen, things I've never seen. Things I've wanted, things I didn't know I wanted! Just so cool. BEYOND cool! Thank you Malou.
I'll leave you with some sweetness because that what my day was....SWEET!
Oh my goodness !!!
Malou is so generous. She must've had so much fun choosing stuff and packing it up. Probably how Santa Claus feels, filling stockings :) I can hardly wait to get my pkg. Thanks for the sneak peek

Wow! I am so thrilled for you Shell. I KNOW you had a big smile on your face the entire time you were opening your goodies, and no doubt made our "ewww-who-ou-eww" noise. (I can't spell it, but I know you know the noise to which I am referring to). What a generous and thoughtful gift. I like this Malou lady!!

Oh My Shell, Goodies Galore! Like you, Malou appears to enjoy assembling random little wonders for others just the way you do. Remember that wonderful guest basket assortment you left for me on the dresser when I visited? It appears the sweet and generous flock together like birds of a feather. (i thought up part of that up myself ;)
OH ~~ and I love your journals also btw.

Oh Happy Day! I am now using the "If not now when" picture as wallpaper on my computer. It has a very special meaning to me, almost like an answer to a prayer. I love you beyond words!
