Pocket Wheel Touch Down!

My big news - my long awaited Pocket Wheel has arrived. Here is the event! First, the box makes it home:
1 Home!
Opened up - it was very well packed! Then First layer off. Loved the bubble wrap - my favorite color, green.

  1. OHHH Linda! How exciting!! Beautiful. I love it! I can't wait to see it in person.

    When I saw it came in pieces I though "oh yug!" But then I remembered that you are the Queen of putting things together.

    I love the pictures!!!
