Scrapebook glue...not JUST for scapebooking!

Mom got a package today in the mail.

From iTunes.

Probably my favorite online store.

But you don't GET things from iTunes. Not in the mail anyway. It's all digital.

So of course seeing the package got me VERY curious. So....I opened the package. And found about six or seven white envelopes. One was empty...moving on to the next and what did I find?

A gift card for $50!

Crap! I just found $300 worth of Christmas gifts. How did I know this? The card actually said Merry Christmas love Mom and Dad.

I very quickly I put all the envelopes back in the package while my brother Nick looked at me like I was going crazy. I looked at him, smiled and tried to look innocent. Which means...obviously that I did something wrong.

He looked at the package I was trying to make look like it hadn't been opened and said as if accusing me, "You just opened a Christmas present didn't you?"

"No," was all I said, which of course meant yes.

Frantically I looked around trying to find tape and Nick being the brilliant kid he is said, "You need glue not tape!" But no glue was to be found.

I was wearing a blanket around my waist to keep my legs warm so I stuffed the package down my blanket. Heading downstairs to grab my scrapebooking supplies. Lots of adhesives!

But I came up with some problems:
1. I had to use my fingur to spread the glue in a convincing manner and couldn't get in off my fingure!
2. the glue had to dry
3.

Well, three didn't come to me until later. After I went back upstairs when Nick announced that he needed me to help him find the dried diced onions.

Yeah random. So he drags me downstairs and before telling me what he needed to know he says, "You're kind of slow on the uptake...you need to read my signals better." Yeah like dried onions are some kind of signal.

But my brother helped me with the conspiracy and told me to wait til tomorrow to slip the package in the mail cause mom already saw the days mail. She would know something was up.

So that's #3. Keep mom from seeing a discrepancy in the mail.

Scrapebooking saves the day! And my brother. What would I do without him!
