Ooook...

In the spirit of driving Philip totally bonkers, 
I shall be evil and post.....this:



 

Ahem.  If anyone gets to drive Philip crazy, it should be me. 

Therefore, this is vaguely related to his package:


ETA: Additionally, because I am 9, "vaguely related to his package" is HILARIOUS.  Wooo, maturity! 

Pictures of what I'm now calling Package 3.5!

Everything!


Look at all the glitter!

Is this card a hint to my FOC's identity, or a red herring?

(The beads in the bracelet are very pretty.  FOC, when I find out who you are, can you fix it for me?)

Is that a happy hamburger? 

yes.

He doesn't have a name yet, though I think I may take him to the July 4 picnic I'm attending tomorrow.

Here's his insides (I don't know why it's a boy hamburger.  It just is  )

Okay, here's my packages 2 & 3.  Prepare to drool with jealousy.

That's package #2.  It's a super-awesome cassette tote bag, an adorable forest friends trinket box (good timing, FOC--I was just needing a new jewelry box!), and the world's cutest felt hamburger.

There's package #3.

And here's a GIANT picture of #3, which was all sorts of birthday goodness, and gum that I'm totally addicted to now: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=180803251&size=l

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, FOC!

Here's my favorite one:

I made these (and more!) awhile ago, but finally got a camera with a macro setting.

I posted a couple new things, and reposted old stuff this morning.

I've always loved the cartoons in my French book from high school.  I made this a couple years ago, and I finally have a camera I can take a good closeup on.

I got my first package!  I got a very very pretty red and black bead necklace that I almost immediately put on and a postcard of a purple cow from Anderson PA.
Is that a hint to where you're from, FOC?  Hmmm?

picture (don't worry, I'm buying a better digital camera with birthday* money  ):

*Birthday hinting ridiculousness: June 27.  I'm incorrigible.
