It’s Lexi’s first preorder, and she could not contain her excitement! I expedited my order, as my birthday gift to myself, so it arrived at 9:44 am today. Here are a few pictures of those crazy Boxer kids, as they deal with the boxes.
Lexi: Boxes! Boxes! I love boxes! They make me dance with joy!
Lexi: Muffy, can you read this for me? I don’t know what it says.
Muffy: It’s toyz for Mom. It says: Don’t let Lexi touch.
Lexi: Does it really say that Brody?
Brody: Hmmm…Let me take a closer look.
Brody: No, Lexi. It says “Stampin’ Up!” It’s filled with those stamp things that Mom won’t let us play with.
Lexi: I am going to help Mom open it! I am such a good helper!
Muffy: Lexi! You better not be chewing on this box. Brody chewed on some of Mom’s cards when he was a puppy and got into big trouble.
Brody: Well you did, too, Muffy. You’re not so perfect. And besides that, I was distressing them for Mom.
Muffy: At least I didn’t chew on her cell phone. Were you distressing that, too, Brody? You were so bad. I was the Good Twin. You were definitely the Bad Twin.
Lexi: Both of you guys are bad! I am not going to let either of you touch Mom’s special boxes. Just bring it on!
Lexi: Does everybody get boxes like this?
Muffy: Not everyone, Lexi! They have to place an order. And right now is a great time to order from Mom. The “Retired Lists” are out. With my amazing “Canine Computer Skills”, I am putting the links up for these lists right here:
Muffy: Some of the sets that are retiring are favorites of Mom’s, like French Foliage. Here are some of the cards she made with it:
Lexi: Wow! Who wouldn’t want that set!
Muffy: I know! That’s why people should check over the lists to see if there is any set or accessory they need. Like Brody says:
Brody: “Don’t delay…Order today!!!
Until next time…
Love the “kid’s” posts Ann. I always have a chuckle. Your French Foliage cards are so beautiful and I will miss this set as well. Take card
Love when the “kids” write your blog. I had a few good laughs with this one.
lol, so funny.
My dog could care less about the boxes. she sniffs at them to see if there’s cookies in it and upon not smelling any cookies, she goes to lay down. Once she’s sure the UPS is long gone. 🙂
French Foliage is one of my all time favorite sets. I am so glad you shared some of your favorite cards made with it…they are so very lovely. You cracked me up with the pups narrative…funny lady! Those doggies are mighty handsome!
Ann, I loved reading the post from the twins and Lexi and i wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and hope you enjoy all the goodies that are in those boxes!!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Ann!!!
I love how you use your pup’s to tell us stories! They are cute!
I always love checking your posts each day to see your beautiful creative cards!!
Many blessings to you!
Adorable! Love your pups! Happy Birthday, Anne! Hope it is a super day for you!

Been recommended to head over here by Brian King on his blog today – and liking what I see! Lovely lovely cards & gorgeous pups 🙂
Hello from me in the UK.
love Brody’s urgent message at the end! Little Lexi sure does like your boxes. hehe. And yes very very sad to see French Foliage going! sob. Vx
What an adorable post, I can’t wait to see the new goodies!
Have a wonderful birthday!!
Big smile here; love it when the your “kids” do a post! Just got back from three weeks with our daughter and her family; great grandma and mom/daughter time. That is why your card was postmarked from Georgia. We love to play Bananagrams and board games. Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Ann!
I love when the Boxers take over your Blog! Those three really know how to entertain! Love all the pics but especially the one of Lexi! She looks pretty serious about not letting the Twins touch those boxes! LOL I immediately thought of you when I saw French Foliage was retiring! You are the reason I finally bought it and it’s not leaving this house!
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday tomorrow! Enjoy all your goodies and can’t wait to see what you make with all your new stuff!
Too cute for words! I too will really miss French Foliage, Kindness Matters, Snow Much Fun…well you know. Dar
Fabulous post….loving all of the pictures….and speaking of pictures..I am printing your cards as I love that set and got it after the Holidays….but will definitely use it this year and the next and the next….well, at least til I see something else I like as well…LOL! Thanks for the giggles!
What a wonderful post Ann! Your pics are delightful and joyful. What’s with retiring our favorite stamp set? Come on! I’ll never part with this stamp set and just hoping that the new catty will replace it with something just as wonderful. Sigh.
Oh them furkids….they are so cute. I don’t blame the Boxers family for wanting to get those boxes open. I would want to get them open too just so I could play with some new goodies. I love the Boxer Blogs. They are a sure way to put a smile on a persons face ( yes I am smiling) and it makes me want to order from you and not me. lol.
Happy Birthday Ann!
LOVE it when the puppies write your posts! 🙂
I’m going to miss French Foliage too! Well…I’m going to miss it for use in classes…it sure as heck isn’t going into my retired stamp set sale – NO WAY!!!
Happy birthday, Ann!
Those puppies look almost as happy to get the SU goodies as we would 🙂 Have fun with the new stuff.
Too cute! Never a dull moment with the threesome around, is there?
Those are cute captions for cute puppies. I so love your wonderful cards.
Oh, your doggies are so cute and I love the pictures of them! Love the French Foliage cards also! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful story Ann! Your pups are so cute!
This is one of the best posts ever! Love the pictures and story.
You definitely deserved your birthday expedited order. I hope you are having lots of fun with your new toys.
So sorry French Foliage is retiring. I immediately thought of you when I saw it on the list.
Brody is so right!
tooooo funny Ann ~ TFS ~ have a great day and have fun unpacking those boxes! Can’t wait to get mine!
Too funny! Love it when the kids use the ‘puter! Brody needs to be the spokes dog for SU with that last shot! He is very serious about us missing out on something! Can’t wait to see what you ordered! You will have to remind Lexi of when Brody had a pearl on his butt!
Happy Birthday tomorrow!

P.S. gotta story to go with your card – I’ll E-mail you.
LOL, the last picture caught me by surprise after all the others so focused on the boxes. It’s such a classic boxer expression and you captured it so well. TFS!
Oh Ann, your doggies are behaving like me when I get my SU goodies, I can’t wait to open the packages and get my hands on all of the things I got. Your dogs are beautiful and I love all of this pictures of them. The cards are so amazing, this stamp set is absolutely lovely.
Happy Birthday to you and thank you for sharing this amazing cards.
Maria.
I know how much joy your fur babies bring you but I hope you know they bring me a lot of joy too! I
love when they blog! The pictures were great and what a fun way to get the word out on the retired list!
PS. Hope your birthday was wonderful!
Hope you have a Happy Birthday and enjoy your new toys!!! Love it when you include the doggies, they are just too cute!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Friend!! Looks as if you have ‘gifts galore’! Love the Boxers’ Post. It’s been awhile and we all love it when they take over your computer!!
I, too, thought of you when I saw French Foliage on ‘the list’…I actually said out loud, “French Foliage?! Ann doesn’t stamp without that set! What will she do?”…but I also spotted a set in the new catalog that might just have your name written all over it!! Time will tell!
Birthday Hugs and Blessings, Ann!
So funny Ann, the comment about Brody distressing the card had me in stitches!
I absolutely LOVE the Boxer Blogs!!! They are so much fun and just make my day!!! Oh yeah, your cards are pretty awesome too! 😀
Thanks for sharing the Boxer Blog and photos! So cute and clever! And may I say, “WOW”!!!! Looks like you’ll have lots of goodies to play with!! Have fun and can’t wait to see what you will create!
They are so precious…I love the photo of Lexi guarding the box…too funny.
What a great conversation between your three “children”. For my Christmas letter each year, I choose one of our animals to “write” the letter. People get a real kick out of it. We had boxers when I was a child. Our first one was a brindle. Thanks kids for the pics on how you deal with mom’s Stampin”UP! boxes.
Linda
Love the pictures! Great post. You are so lucky to have such great helpers!
How priceless, what a neat job !! Thanks!! Hugs n’ Stuff, Lynne
This is great. Love those dogs. I laughed the whole way through. You made my day. Thanks
Love the pics of your doggies checking out your new goodies! The conversation was highly entertaining too 🙂
Happy Stamping!
Love those doggies! What a joy they bring to you and all of us!! I was thinking of you when I saw French Foliage on the list. Now I am excited to see what you will do with the INSIDE of the box! Have fun!
So stinkin’ cute! What smart pups.
So stinkin’ cute! What smart pups.
I love it when Muffy, Brody and Lexi blog. They are really good at it and got the message out about the retiring items.
OMGosh! So cute! I love reading about the fur babies!
Hillarious! Great photos of those sweet puppies.
Okay, that’s really funny Ann! Everyone will want to order from those cutie pies!
lol…The last picture of Brody is my favorite, he has a look of concern like someone might miss out on retired stamps.
