Oh my heavens, my MIL is SO good to me!!!!!!! I am in scrapbook heaven Here are some pics of what was in the package. It's hard to see so these are some of the things that she sent- there is a purple 12 x 12 container there FULL of paper. Some of the papers- C'oredinations cardstock, plain and embossed, Bazzill cardstock, Bo Bunny Gabrielle papers and chipboard stickers and rub ons, other Bo Bunny papers and matching cardstock and rub ons, the Bo Bunny Timepiece collection!!!!!!! ( my FAVE), SEI papers, Basic Grey paper, a bunch of cute travel papers (even 2 sheets of Newfoundland paper!), a ton of Graphic 45 papers- Steampunk, On the Boardwalk, Renaissance papers, etc, DCWV Once Upon a Time papers (LOVE), DCWV 12 x 12 paper pad called Immortal Love, 2- 8x8 pads of Graphic 45 papers, 8x8 pad of wedding cardstock. 8x8 pad of Me and My Big Ideas paper, 2-8x8 pads of Bazzill cardstock, and a bunch of papers that I don't know what they are. Oh, and a couple packages of beautiful handmade papers.
Phew! that's just the paper!!! She sent various packs of Prima flowers, buttons, ribbons, borders, a purple Glimmer Mist (yay!!!), package of Glimmer Glass screens, tags, brads, stickers, an album, shimmer shapes, and I'm sure I left a few things out.
Plus, her friend that does the altered books sent a ton of stuff. It's all from her own stash so I didn't take pics of it as she has it all sorted in baggies. Lots of good stuff though- tons of lace, ribbon and fibers, old jewelry/buttons and watches, charms, stick pins, tags, some stickers and rub- ons, and some really nice Tim Holtz cut outs- bird cages, gears and keys- some is plain and others embossed. My DD is going to LOVE this stuff!
So I had to share with my cherry friends!!! I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful MIL.

Thanks ladies!!!
haha, kittymomma- I am bragging a wee bit I guess It's not my birthday, my MIL is just like that. Her friend asked her to go to the scrap/quilt exhibition and she thought of me right away because I am the only one that she can spoil with stuff like this. They are very well off so money is not an issue. She has another DIL that lives 15 mins away, but that one has decided that she and her husband are not having anything to do with my parents-in-law anymore (this chick has issues needless to say, loooong story) and her other DIL loves in London and she's not crafty. We hit it off the minute we met, seriously. It's amazing.
I have got so many things going through my head that I want to make, I don't know where to start!!!

Your starting place would be a great big HUGE thank you letter to your MIL and her friend. I love that she is so good to you. Mine was too, but she is gone and so is my mom. Enjoy your fun stuff and I can't wait to see what you produce.

You are blessed! There's nothing like the love of a second mother, I tell my MIL all the time she's my other Mom!
