Sizzix Big Shot for Hester

I got a notice from the place where I ordered Hester’s birthday gift, a Sizzix Big Shot:  they had just shipped it, and it would arrive June 11^th.  Bah, humbug!  I’d ordered it two days earlier, and there should have been plenty of time for it to get here by her birthday, June 8^th!  I sent her a note:

Subject:  ♫ ♪ Always Late, lalala ♫ ♪

Bother!  I ordered your birthday gift Sunday – and they just shipped it out tonight, so it won’t get here until Thursday, June 11^th!

It’s your fault for not making me think of what you’d like sooner.  :-D

                  Love,

P.S.:  When I email your gmail address, does your phone make noise and wake you up?

P.S.S.:  Oh, yikes, good grief, if your phone doesn’t wake you up, Tabby will!  He just shrieked loud enough, you should’ve heard him all the way in town.  He had a fuss with Teensy – and Teensy raked a quiff off his head and made a deep scratch right above his eye.  Cats!

Hester responded the next morning with her usual “Lololol!” and told me that no, her phone doesn’t wake her up.  I spent the next few days being disappointed that her birthday present was going to be late – but it was delivered today, shortly before noon!  Goody, goody coff drops (à la Victoria, age 3).  It is now wrapped and ready to be delivered.  (The Big Shot; not the cough drops.)

I took her the gift tonight.  I'm looking forward to seeing what she creates with it!

Here it is, wrapped -- that Gurney's catalog has enough pages to nicely cover three big boxes!  The bows always look different, depending on length and width of loops.
