Coming...January 2012....

BABY WOO! Can you believe it?!

What?!

Mr Woo has been particularly interested in the post for the past few days.
It's usually just me...but he asked this morning if we'd gotten anything.
We hadn't. I carried on getting ready.

Mr Woo  "Well, I might as well tell you now". 
Mrs Woo "oh. no." 
{I thought it was going to be bad news, like a baliff order or over due bill or something.....bad....}

Mr Woo "I wanted to wait, but I'll tell you now...

I bought you a Sizzix Big Shot". 

My jaw literally dropped. Like, actually. How it happens on Eastenders and in the movies.  

Mrs Woo "Whaaaaaat?!"

Mr Woo said that he said to himself if he won the work lottery {they have a lottery at work, he was just asked to put his pound in because someone dropped out that's all I know} then he would buy the machine for me. WHAT?!
I cried and told him he should have used it to get something he wanted! He already has to provide everything else for me as I can't find work. He said to consider it an Easter present. 
Mr Woo said he wanted me to cheer me up as I've been so down because of losing Poppy. He also said he wanted to give me something to help me with my card making and to "help me be a shop". "I am a shop" when I am selling things you see. So if I'm part of a craft fair or helping out at the Vintage Shop or if someone buys something from my etsy, then, I am a shop.

So there ya have it. I wanted to share my excitement about becoming the new owner of a fun crafty gadget but most importantly I wanted to brag about my sweet, sweet handsome Hus.
How'd a girl like me get to be so lucky!?!
It doesn't really matter, I'm just so thankful for my Mr Woo x

*swoon*

i am too excited!

I am about as excited as this woman is to have sparkling pans! However my excitement has nothing to do with housework {it rarely does}.

1. I have gotten into doing trades with people on Etsy. It is brilliant! I have gotten a few really wonderful things but for some reason I am SUPER EXCITED about today's trade! I'm trading some of my precious vintage buttons for a handmade zipper pouch with Mrs Woo embroidered on! eeeeeeeeee!
   
   
2. When I went to email the person I am doing a trade with I found another message in my inbox....SOMEONE WHO LOVES MY WORK AND WOULD LIKE TO FEATURE ME ON THEIR BLOG! "Would I be interested" she said...whaaaaaaaaaat? What do you think sister?!
   
   
3. This week has been a bit up and down, rollercoastery if you will. We found out my visa application was approved, but then Mr Woo's father left to work abroad for six months...so we've had lots of emotions going on in the family.
   But tonight Mr Woo is taking me to town to celebrate my visa! It has been such a hard and long process it doesn't seem real that this leg of the journey is finally over!
   We opened a bottle of champagne last night...but tonight we're gonna paint the town hot pink! I think I should have some sort of union jack accessory to celebrate my new status!
   

Today's letter is E - for Excited!
