What wonderful gifts from Kay & Nan!!! The stamp of your face is soooo cool!! The flower boxes and Tobias are beautiful creations!!!
You are one lucky guy!!

Wow - how lucky are you?! Nan's stamps are just amazing and truly one of a kind. Kay's Tobias is "toadally" terrific though! He looks so tactile and I'm sure you will enjoy his company for many years to come. What talented ladies! Thank you for showing us your gifts when you are so busy - your videos always bring a smile to my face (and I have chubby cheeks too)!

Jim, the gold keys are genuine antiques! I got them about ten years ago from the estate sale of the man who invented the heat-shaped box! I can't think of anyone who would be able to use them better than you!

What wonderful treasure! Nan and Kay sent you great surprises and it's awfully fun to get to see them.
You're off to CHA and I dearly hope that you'll have so much fun that you'll forget about chubby cheeks and have tons of smiles on your face.
Travel safe, Jim.
Hugs
