Year End Favorites

My absolute favorite Autograph. And I didn't even pull it from a pack of cards!! I got it from a contest earlier this summer:



Thanks Fuji, I've wanted one of these since I started reading the blogs and spied it on yours. And was the major contributing facto in my entrance in your contest, it was a blast. Hope you do it again next year.

Wow, 365 days, and 365+ posts, my goal for 2011 was to try and average one post per day.
My goal for next year, hell, who am I kidding, it's to learn to ride my new Harley and spend as much time as I can on it and not a computer!!

Be safe tonight everybody, and we'll see you again next year!!
Happy New Year Gang!
Have a GReat night!!

What do you get from a Rack Pack and a single pack!

Of 2011 Updates? You get shorted again, TWICE.

What are the odds that you'd purchase a single pack, then a few days later, buy a rack pack, and pull a short printed card out of each?





Now how about the odds that one is a regular short print and the other a diamond bedazzled card?




OK, finally, what if it was the same card?

Thanks again for taking me along on your journey my friend.

Having been cross-country twice now with my girls, it's always fun to experience new places, even through another's words.
