I think working with kids over the past two decades has taught me to be patient. When I was a kid, if someone gave me a present I'd tear into them immediately.
But thirty years can change a person. These days I model a little more self-control. I'm currently sitting on three care packages sent from: Nick @ Dime Boxes, Matthew @ Bob Walk the Plank, and Woody @ CCW.
Unfortunately... I've made myself a deal to keep them sealed until I finish cleaning up the cardboard clutter that currently resides on my desk. Most of the mess consists of cards from my recent flea market purchase. But there are a few eBaypurchases thrown into the mix as well:
Nick, Matt, and Woody... I just wanted to let you know that your packages have arrived safely and I'm eager to see what you've sent. As soon as I bust them open, I promise to write up a "thank you" post.
I've got parent/teacher conferences this week, but I should have plenty of time to sort through cards over my Thanksgiving Break.
Thanks in advance for the packages and have a happy Sunday.
