A Very Special Blogger RAKI received this very special Blogger RAK card in the mail today from a very close and dear friend of mine, Laura Leonard (LuLa's Corner). This card is not your normal run of the mill RAK card - it is much more than that to me. You see, this particular card is the VERY FIRST card that Laura ever made when she first started stamping - and she wanted me to have it. I must admit when I opened it and read what she wrote inside I started to cry - it really touched me. Laura, this card will hold a very special place in my heart and I feel so honored that you wanted to share it with me. Love ya bunches!! :)
Update on the Kitchen: I am ALMOST completely finished! I am doing some of the final touchups to the flooring and putting up new blinds and new hardware on the cabinets - as soon as I get all that finished and get the baseboards on I will post some pictures of my handywork! lol
I do have something exciting (well to me anyway) to share with you - this coming weekend I will be heading out of town to Arlington, Texas with my best friend Robyn for a girls weekend of retail therapy! We will be hitting Michael's, Hobby Lobby and a ton of other places and of course we will be eating at some of the greatest restaurants! lol I am also on vacation next week so I will be able to create some new stuff for all my faithful blog readers out there!

what a lucky ducky you are!! that card is MUCH better than the first one i did! you wouldn't be "touched" by it at all!!! i sure would love to meet ya'll in arlington just for a minute to say hi and finally meet you! we are supposed to go to mineral wells to hang out with eric's parents saturday, though. don't forget to go to recollections!! can't wait to see the new kitchen!!
What a nice card..isn't it amazing what friendships come out of stamping we get two for the price of one!
I'm glad you're getting to go have a little "therapy" - you're probably ready for it after all the remodeling! Looking forward to the photos!
How fun! If you can hop over to Fort Worth, try Imprints (if you haven't been there yet...), and of course Recollections!!

Oh goodie, you got it. I'm sorry girlfriend; I didn't mean to make you cry....LOL! I'm glad you like it. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend.
You're weekend sounds awesome. You need a girl's weekend after all the work you've been putting in this past week with the kitchen. I can't wait to see pics.
