So we bought the Mr Man's mom's van, it's sweet, and as it's a full size van that ikea worthy and in MY name, I chose to get vanity license plates for it like the other two cars. (The truck we're selling soon). What did I choose?

Oh yes, and they arrived today in the mail I'm as giddy as a little girl. Muhahahah! To top it all off I got the OKAY from IKEA to have them, I asked first and was told I "deserved it".

A couple days ago I contacted the company that makes the felt I use on my pincushions, sent some links, offered them the use of any pics they wanted for promotional stuff. I'm a big person for telling a company you enjoy their products. Well the marketing manager wrote back and made me an offer I can't refuse.

In exchange for several items few items for the  tradeshow tables , they will promote my work on the website, feature me as a 'designer', and have cards with my etsy store address, or whatever, next to my stuff at trade shows and they will "keep (me) happy in felt". Then he asked me or a wish list.

My happy felt box came today from them mere moments after the license plates. OMFG! it's 3 foot wide, 18" deep and is packed with as much as it will hold! And it was heavy! Over a dozen colors, some I needed, some new, and some sparkly, a bunch of printed patterns, even embossed patterns and some of the shaggy felt I don't have. I was expecting maybe a paper box of felt, and would have been happy with that. I got more felt than I have in my chest and I have a lot in my chest! My craftroom office is going to have to have a bookcase filled with felt now! Every shelf. Filled.

I don't know if I can handle anymore today :::thud::: Pictures later!
