I'm glad you liked the cards. I wasn't sure if they were too corny, but I got a good laugh making them.
I spy Chemistry cat though! Hopefully your package arrives today. It took until Saturday night for Sioux Falls to get fixed up after the blizzard that hit them on Tuesday and Wednesday, so hopefully some packages will get to where they need to be (2 Amazon packs of mine got stuck there last week because of the weather, icky).

Hahaha yeah, when I got your package I laughed because we had sent each other practically the same thing LOL. LOVE IT! We were definitely on the same crafty wave-length! I got cards with awesome jokes (I love corny chem jokes) and a rock ring! She got the rock from the Carnegie Museum of History. How cool! Happy It. was. Awesomness.

Yeah, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History has a ROCK VENDING MACHINE!!! You put in a quarter and out comes a rock or two. lol

So here's my package from you: two awesome Chemistry Cat cards, a rock ring, and Mario candies that made my fiance jealous! (I saved him some because he LOVES the old Mario games--total NES guy, lol.)

The Potassium card reminds me of when I was in high school chemistry--I came up with a way to remember Potassium by making a Mr. Mackey joke from South Park.... "Potassiummmm-kay?"

Oh yay! I am glad you like everything! We have had a lot of flooding, snow, rain, and crazy wind happening. So hopefully your package will get here soon. Alma, which is a town 20 miles from here, declared a state of emergency. Monika G. was in a similar situation a bit ago! Ohh boy.

Lookie what arrived yesterday! I was so excited. And it arrived unharmed and not soggy. WOO! lol
I got a Sherlock cozy which turns out to be the perfect size for my phone! Awesome. A YODA key chain/bag clip which promptly went on my bag. And a Professor Layton smell good cushion. Lavender I believe. My whole package smelled like amazing when I opened it. And some Toffi-chocs! I love it!
