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 11th.  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 8th!  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 11th!

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.
