Look what the Milkman brought! I mean the Mailman!

Look what the milkman brought in! Just kiddn'! These arrived in the mail from my wonderful friend and customer Ruth. Aren't they just the cutest!  And they were filled with my very favorite candy- M&M's!! Blue ones at that!

She is my biggest Stampin' Up Fan!
I don't even have this darling die but I sell it and it is the Milk Carton Die. I am going to get it though!
I do have the stamp set and it is called Got Treats. Can't wait to make my little milk cartons!



And this darling card and envelope too!
Wasn't that so thoughtful of her!
