10,000 RAK

Just popped onto my blog today to update y'all on the car news and realised I have hit 10,000 visitors! Cool.
So that would make it RAK time! I have been trying to make room for new supplies by paring back my stash - Man that's a hard task!!! Who'd have thought you could develop an emotional attachment to a piece of paper, especially one you've not even looked at in over a year? I know you understand!! Hubby doesn't...
I have managed a few cutbacks, mainly becuase I have so many multiples! And as a result I have a small pile of goodies here that need a new home. So leave me a comment and you could soon be the one struggling to find room for these yummies:
Prima flirty little secret - 3 papers, one of which is a newsprint shimmer paper. One of each flirty little secret journal spots (OH. MY. GOD. You will DIE) and a KI memories pink butterflies shimmer lace cardstock. So pretty.
My Mind's Eye Penny Lane - These are quite new - 5 papers (love the texture) including a shaped piece. 2 transparencies, 1 journal spot, and one small accessories as well as a sheet of gorgeous die cuts.
Other STUFF - Fancy Pants clearly big (about 6 million transparency die cuts - you'll love these, I did - got 6 packs of them! What was I thinking?) Creative Imaginations rub on swatch book - the cutest date labels (again with the multiple packs in my stash!) Jenni Bowlin crepe paper ribbons, Basic Grey limited edition paisly clear stamps these were JUST released about 5 minutes ago, Prima deco fun (chipboard frame and birdie 'badges') 2 packs AC thickers, foam and felt, Kaiser album, Petaloo blossoms and Basic Grey obscure chipboard pack (not pictured)
There's about $100 worth here. I hope someone can make good use if it!
So, lots of questions about my car!
I got it!
I changed my order to the blue/grey. The colour differences thing was doing my head in.
Not long after, they called to say
a/the shipment was delayed until August! but
b/there just happened to be a blue one available in Sydney.
So, becuase of my colour choice change, I got my car early! It's fate! Man, I love this car. So many cool features. I am loving the voice recognition controls! (I say 'dial Michael' and my car says 'dialling Michael...' and rings him for me. ) Loving the digital radio with INFO button that tells me artist and song name currently playing! Such a girly car!!!
Well, I better get to work to pay for the damn thing!
Don't forget to leave me a comment to go in the draw for my 10,000 RAK!!

Car sounds v swish...and I would love to know the artist of every song I like...it took me about 2 months to find the song I kept hearing that I love...

congrats on 10000 and getting your new car.
It sounds like you are having a ball with it! that voice recognition thing sounds awesome, I think I would probably just sit in the driveway and sit for 2 hours just playing before actually going anywhere.
and OMG at the RAK. You are so generous.
And I am hearing you about emotional attachment to paper.
I think I would have separation anxiety if I gave away what you are giving away! lol
thanks for the opportunity, always love reading you blog.
