An Appropriate Embellishment . . .

There was a small stack of mail on my desk when I got back to work, and I finally had a chance to go through it yesterday afternoon.  One of the cards was from a familiar face . . .

You might remember Barbara Walborn from three years ago when her husband Tom gave her a Vagabond as a surprise for Valentine’s Day and we got the honor of presenting it to her at the Lawrenceville, GA show.  Ironically, Tom was not at that show, but he has been there every year since.  Barbara won a prize during the Saturday giveaway, and her card was a thank you note . . .

 

. . . with the winning ticket as an embellishment.  I like the unique and original – this qualifies.

Update One Day Later . . .

I should have known that if I put out a note with estimated delivery dates, by the next day they would change.  And they did – refreshingly, for the better.  Yesterday, Ranger shipped the new Distress Paints, Alcohol Inks, Mini Distress Pads, Distress Spritzers, Archival Inkpads and Reinkers, and Stickles (sorry, no Blending Tools and Replacement Foam yet) – so they should arrive here tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.  Same with Advantus and all of the February Tim Holtz Idea-ology releases except his new book.  So it looks like the frozen shipping spigot has finally been pried open.  Stay tuned . . .
