A new day...

Ok, so I have  had a bit of time to let it all sink in...And even though I think it's way way over the top.  And they seem so so very happy and proud of themselves, I am going to say thank you, and accept the fact I can not change their minds, and take the responsibility that they are generous to a fault because they are great kids, and how can I be mad about that. How can I hurt there feelings. So I in turn would like to do something for them, I just don't know what, yet. Have a craft happy day everyone.....

Box contents.....AMAZING

 Hey Sisters, box update, before I opened the box i called the boys to let them know it arrived, they already knew that and must have been tracking it. The first thing I was told was, don't be mad, it's a gift from us to you, because they seem to think I deserve it. I promised not to be mad for very long, depending on what it was...
SO here we go, you ladies are NOT going to believe what is in these boxes!!! I started with the smallest box, it's a Netbook...have no idea what it is, what to do with it, or anything, so ok...I can learn I figure, I am smart that way.. The next box has a brand new hugs Laptop in it. I am excited, and my anxiety is grwoing A LOT! These are not cheap, and theres still 2 more boxes to go..SO the next box has a HUGE 22" flat screen monitor and brand new desktop computer system! ANd the final box has a new professional digital camera complete with case, 4 lenses, and more gadgets than I can count. My heart is pounding, my mind is spinning, and my anxiety is through the roof... This had to of been thousands of dollars! I can not keep all these items. They have to go back.  I   am having huge chest pains right now, and don't even know what to say.. I have called the boys and told them of my unhappiness, and that I want to return the items, and they said, "to bad" deal with it, they are yours, craft your heart out, and welcome to next century... I was instructed to leave the desktop in the box, and just play with the laptop and the Netbook, and if that made me smile, move onto the next box... I have to yet to do any of this. I am trying to justify all of this, and accept the fact that this is all sitting my living room. What would you ladies do in this situation? I mean it's not like they spent there pocket change. I do not want to hurt there feelings, but I feel so guilty, and so darn bad about this. I sincerely do not know what to do with this situation. I appreciate everything they have ever done for me, why can't they just be happy making a macaroni picture, or clay hand print?  Or better yet, just come for a visit. I wish I could contact Dell, and just have it returned. And pretend this never happened. I love my sons, and would never want to hurt them in anyway, but this is above and beyond what any child should be doing. I am truly very upset over this, and do not know what to do. Please anyone, advice is needed....

The Box...IT's HERE

Hey bloggering sisters....The box, is here...When the Fed Ex truck pulled up I was totally excited. He is a friend of ours, so all the markings on the box were covered with duct tape, a trick the boys and Jason our Fed Ex friend plotted and enlisted his help. SO I have no idea whats in the box just yet. It is very heavy, and there are 4 seperate boxes, not 1 big one. There is no invoice, only a shipping address, mine. So I am off to call the boys, open the box and get back to all of you....

Box update..and a family pic

 

Apparently I am not getting a clue today, they say I am too sneaky, what they really mean is I am too smart for them. They are very proud of themselves thinking they are one up on me. It's ok I want them to think that. So with that I thought I would just share a pic of my family, and show off my wonderful boys..Hope you do not mind...Back row left is Trevor, he is very handsome under that goofy hat...he is 21, in college, and working for his brother when he has time. He has a heart of gold. Middle is Arik, he is the oldest at 33. He was a marine, now is in college to get his degree, and is in Florida close to Joanne, so I may be visiting Joanne this summer when I go to Florida. He is a great guy, and would do anything at all for me or anyone else. Then there's Keith he is 30, use to be air force, now a cop, an accident reconstruction specialist, and has his own home building business, and pretty much the instigator of the bunch, if there's a practical joke, hes in the mix or the head dog...But  huge heart, and would again do anything for me. The boys are the greatest, and all are single, and I think all very handsome, and am not sure why they are all single, they have such big hearts and wonderful personalities any girl should be happy to get one of them.. And I would really like a couple daughter in laws, and grand babies, but they say whats the rush Mom, were still young, your still young, enjoy life a bit. They are my pride and joy. The rest in the photo is hubby on left, son in law, holding GD, dear sweet Adrianna  and my  daughter Tricia, and of course me.  SO possibly tomorrow I will get another clue...Although Trev is home, maybe I can pump him for info..hehe..Have a wonderful day ladies...Off to do some B hopping, and make something...

Box update and a card...

Hello crafty ones...Well my day was not a happy day, My best friends father had passed away, and the funeral was this morning...I stayed with her the day just for moral support in case she needed it. Her siblings never bothered to show, as they are all very selfish, so how could I just leave her..One can never have too many hugs in this situation.Anyway when I returned home I found another clue from the boys in an email...It says," Dear Mom, we know this making you crazy, and thats part of the fun we get to have...Were sure by now you weighed your saddle, and tack. And we seen the post, It's NOT the saddle, sorry maybe next time, as that is a great idea. Clue number 2....Inside the large box are at least 3 smaller boxes, and 1 of the items is black and a deep deep blue color...It makes NO noise at all.....and before you ask, the items do go together, somewhat. So there it is, clue number 2...

On a crafty note....Here is another card I attempted.... I promise the next one will be a lot better, and all stamping and coloring....I am putting my dies and cutters away....It's the only way I think this is going to happen....Have a wonderful everyone....

Good Monday Morning......

 Hello crafty ones.....I hope you are all having a great day. It's Monday the start of a new week. The start of a new to do list, and a bit of hoping to do things. I was just informed by my 2 sons that a big box is arriving for me. And in that box is a gift for me. It's not my Birthday as that was Christmas Eve, it's not Mothers day, and there reply was, can't we do things just because we love you? If I guess will you guys tell me..With 2 big grins and a couple sheepish smiles came a bog NO. SO I am left here wondering and full of anticipation. What could it be...They bought me the Gypsy and a bunch of other items for Christmas and mt Birthday. I have a computer, I have everything I need.SO I am a bit confused as to what it could be...These boys of mine are something, it's the same as a few years ago, on Christmas day a pkg arrived fed-ex for me. It was from my Son in Louisiana, in the envelope it simply said, for all the sacrifices you made, and for being the greatest Mom of all times...And in that envelope were 2 all expenses paid tickets on a 10 day cruise. I was floored. How can one top this. I wish they would not spend there money on me. As I am sure we all feel that way about our kids, It's like a code or something of Mom's. I feel so guilty when they buy me things or send me flowers for no reason. Anyway, back to stamp talk....After looking at that card and wondering what I was thinking, well, I tried something else hoping to do better...And well it's not any better, but with a lot of persistence I will get hang of this stamping....lol I hope! So I went back to my old way and pulled out the Sizzix, SIlhouette, Cricut, and a punch. And this is what I came up with.....

 

I did emboss the saying with Versa mark and gold embossing powder. SO there is a bit of stamping on this card.....SO there ya have it. Not completely stamped, but not completely scrapped either...It's the cowards way out....Ladies have a wonderful day, and a great week...

BOX UPDATE.....they were kind enough to give me a clue....the box weighs 72pounds...They know I have had my eye on that new Barrel Racing saddle, weighs about that much with the packing I suppose. That saddle is da bomb...Its ostrich seat, with silver and bling.......heres a pic...I hope this is it(keeping in mind mine would be a hunter green color, with the cowboy cross instead of the hearts).That would be fun to kick some can in!!!!.. If not, it will be fun playing the game....
