Ever since I started joining in on the Sneak Attacks, I’ve met the friendliest people. And very talented too!

Most weeks I get one or 2 packages in the mail, from something I purchased during one of our sneak attacks, or from one of the members of our team. My DH always looks at me, as if to say, where’s mine? HaHa

Today, I received a package in the mail. It was a brown envelope and heavy – and I thought, hmmm what did I buy that would be that heavy?

I looked at the return address, and it was from my friend Kirby at Happy Hound Creative. Ah, the special cards that I ordered, that say Congratulations on them.

I host a contest on my website Sandi’s T’s, every 30 days (mid month to mid month) and wanted a special card to send to the winner along with their prize. Just an extra little touch.

So I opened the brown envelope. And…. I found this delightful fabric bag, complete with a ribbon tie

Inside the fabric bag was another package… pretty purple tissue paper with ribbon and a card.

Had to open the card first… recognized this one, a thank you card made by Joy from The Art Of Joy I have some thank you stickers from Joy.

Now I carefully unwrapped the purple tissue paper and ribbon for later use, and voila – my Congratulations cards…

I ordered 12, and each one is different! Kirby you have outdone yourself!!

Two things I noticed right away. The insides are white, so I can use almost any color ink to write my message, and the envelopes are bigger than the cards so I don’t have to fight to slide the cards in! WoooHooo

THANK YOU KIRBY!!

Usually, I write a post on Tuesday morning and again on Friday morning, telling you about the Sneak Attack from the nite before and the shops that were involved. Because I had so much problem with the dsl earlier this week, I’m going to combine both attacks in this post.
