New supplies!

My 2peas order arrived the other day! It was extremely exciting. I had just purged a bunch of paper and given it to Stacee who I work with. I felt all good about that and then the very next day, new arrived to fill the spaces I had created. Yay!The first item I am excited about is Distress Stickles. I picked up three colours. Distress Stickles apparently are just like Stickles, but with thicker granules and less sparkle. I think they will be great for me, because so many of my pages are earthy. I think that the Distress Stickles and I will get along nicely. I'll let you know when I finally use them.I also got a gold sheet, olive sheet, and teal sheet, of the Creative Imaginations glitter paper. I was expecting it to arrive looking like the Doodlebug glitter paper, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was like it was glazed or something. All the glitter is sealed in. I think they will be a lot of fun for diecut pieces and punched borders. Oooh, I'm imagining gold scalloped borders and now I want to scrapbook immediately!SEI came out with a new line called Bridgeport. Normally I'm 50/50 on if I like their stuff. Some is too frilly for me. This line is the perfect mix of colours for spring. I can't wait to use it! SEI always does such neat embossing and foiling on their papers. This photo does not do it justice.
Lastly, I picked up a bunch of the My Minds Eye diecuts. I can never life without those! I don't buy a lot of their paper. I find it to be repetitive, although I must say they stepped it up quite a bit this time around.
This blog post was just interruppted a good hour by my two lovely doggies. I went to let them in from outside and saw blood all over the deck! There then was blood all over my kitchen floor while I tried to figure out who was bleeding. I guess Steve ripped one of his nails while they were out there. I had to make yet another sock bandaid. Then Mack needed a bath because he wouldn't leave us alone and Steve's blood was all over him. Good times on a Sunday morning. I still love them both :)
