Recently there was a fabulous challenge going on that I wanted to jump into and I e-mailed my friend Curt O'Brien to ask if I could use any other stamps for this challenge since I didn't have any House Mouse stamps (yet!). Curt replied that I needed to use House Mouse stamps and he would send me a couple of images so I could join in the fun! Look what I found in my mailbox!!!!! This darling box (carefully wrapped in a protective bubble wrap bag)!!
Check out the details! I love the silver on the magnifying glass and that the lens is shiny with glass! The larger photo didn't quite capture it so I was careful to grab a close-up!
This shows the box starting to open - the luscious ribbon (chocolate - of course) slips off and the lid lifts up . . .
A couple of images?!?!!!! I don't think there was one design in the pack that didn't have two stamped images. I asked Curt if this was because he knew that if I only had one, I would never be able to give it away? His reply was that he likes to have two so when he messes one up he has another try! Oh my goodness - I can't imagine Curt ever messing anything up!
To top it all off - this lovely fall card - with a sweet note. I am truly blessed - and to think that 2 years ago I didn't really even know what a blog was! Now I have dear "blog friends" all over the world. Friends that make me feel warm and fuzzy - loved. I am honored by this gift and I will treasure Curt's artwork! I couldn't wait to share them with you so that you can oooooo and aaahhhh over them, too.
By the way - I will most likely be posting some cards with these House Mouse images in the very near future! ;-)
Hugs!!

Lucky you Sharli. I have 'known' Curt since he started his blog and he is such a nice, genuine person - this gift he has sent you showcases his generosity and friendship perfectly - enjoy your HM images - can't wait to see what you do with them..... Hugs xx
What a wonderful surprise! I'm thrilled for you, Sharli to have come in contact with some fabulously talented and generous friend via the internet. You certainly will have a grand time creating cards with those images. Yay for you!
The cards he created are just beautiful. What a talented guy!
Hey Sharli! You are way over the top too nice to me!!! This was just a little something that I wanted to do. However everyone reading this comment. . . what Sharli didn't mention is that it took me FOREVER to get these to her and she missed out on the challenge. I felt really bad. But Sharli is always so gracious and leaves me the most wonderful comments. It is me who is the lucky one to have such a great blogging friend! Glad you liked the package Sharli! Best, Curt
What fun mail. How sweet. I can't wait to see the cards you create using those great images.
I'm oooooing and ahhhhhhing! Blogging & scrapping friends are THE BEST, aren't they? What a sweet surprise from Curt! Looking forward to seeing your House Mouse creations, Sharli!
What a fun surprise! If I weren't so deathly afraid of mice, I'd probably have to have a House Mouse or two. LOL.
