Today, Christmas came early at our house. Hubby brought not one but two of those manilla packages in from the mailbox. O-o-o-oh, my. Here we go!
You have to take your time to open that wonderful little box that's taped on both sides 'cause you can hurt yourself, and it doesn't help that hubs is asking which one it is before you ever get the first side undone. There's two wrapped little objects inside that are also taped and we have to be careful again 'cause we don't want to harm those objects d'art. I wanted tips that had green in them; and, boy did these hit the spot. The Gold & Green Lava and Christmastime are delightful on top of my large Divide tank with a green replacement glass on top of the bronze ProVari. I couldn't be happier about the color combo and the way those tips look!
Now, we got one more left. Hubby, once again, asks which one it is and wants me to hurry when I need to be careful. A-a-a-ah, I know you see; and since the middle of our kitchen is dim, had him get the pen light for the grand opening because Kayte showed us how it would look in bright as well as dim light. O-o-o-oh, haven't wiggle this much since hubs and I were dating!
Absolutely, the Crushed Marble in Black is to me a beautiful rendition of southwestern native American decorative pottery or rug work! It is gorgeous without the direct light and hits you between the eyes with it. It too looks stunning on the bronze Provari with gray glass in the ProTank II, and let's not forget the black MVP! The long tip end sits comfortably on my tongue to help awaken my dead taste buds without pursing my lips.
How can you have a favorite when each one is made with much care and attention?........Then the next one arrives......and then you go thru another MMADT in what to vape on first!

choochoo -- Pictures or it didn't happen..lol
OMG mine isn't even made yet and I'm excited..I can't wait to see it!
Your story had me on the edge of my seat choochoo..thnx!
Sirius, I'm a technical idiot. The laptop I'm using is a 2005 model and I use a Tracfone! No one around to show me, and I'm tired of trying to understand instructions written by someone not "Merican". I learned on a manual and made my living working on an electric typewriter, and only just learned to buy on line. So, I'll paint with words the best way I can; and if that's made you on the edge of your seat and excited about your coming tip, then you'll appreciate your tip that much more! I've found that nothing beats imagination to build excitement. Pictures are great, but the story lets you participate! ;-)
True was well written choochoo -- But I promise to take pics of mine and post it. I'm not as well written as you are!
Aw-w-w-w, you silver tongued devil-tress. See! You just did. In three short sentences, you made me smile all over! PLUS you're able to share technically what I'm unable to do. Would love to "see" your new "pride & joy."

Nah not a "tress" I'm a guy but thanks for the compliment!
My old cigarette advertisement I use for an avatar won't do I see. lol
I'll post a pic when they get it to me I will I will!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Well, I won't hold that against you. Your pictures should be as good as any gal's!
Hope you have a wonderful week with you grandkids!! Your sewing projects are great! They're going to love them.
We can! Are you in a rush? (I usually am once I decide on something.Wow, I missed a lot last week! Work was so busy and I went Christmas shopping this weekend... hopefully things will slow down a bit so I can stay caught up on the forum.
Kayte, can you order some of the black w/gold matrix tru stone (not black w/gold web)? I would like to get another of the tiered tips made out of this... here's a pic.
) We can go ahead and order it, but if you're in no hurry, we were planning to place an order after Christmas. Let me know! Thanks for the laugh! lol
Doug just headed back out to the shop to start on yours. It should be done sometime tomorrow!
Oh NICE! I'll come by tomorrow to see if I got a PM from ya Kayte!Thanks for the laugh! lol

Choochoogranny... I love your description of getting those little taped boxes! (I wish they didn't need to be taped. Doug is concerned the lids might pop off in transit. 
)
I can hardly wait to see how you like Shangri La!

Thanks! And yes, it is hard to find good pinks and purples. Purple especially. It's often so dark it's almost black. The photo of Lilacs and Pearls is very accurate on the purple but slightly yellow on the white. It is a true pearly white. So pretty!
Am waiting on pins and needles, Kayte. Before ShangriLa gets here, you need to tell me how you pick a favorite or do you give every tip equal vape time?
The "opening of the box" has become major part of the ceremony! Doug is right to tape them shut, but if I want to save them for future use (little surprises sent to Alaska granddau?), I gotta be careful with with the knife. I've also been know to hurt myself with sharp objects in the kitchen....."Uh oh, don't think that red stuff is the chicken's."

It is hard to choose a favorite! I solve the dilemma by using quite a few flavors and have a set up for each flavor, with it's own tip.
I keep them in a lavender glass pot that my son gave to me for that purpose.
This way, I can admire and use them all throughout the day.
Aside from doing that, I'd say you need a stand for the tips so you can have them out to enjoy whether you're using them or not. Then you can pick a 'tip for the day' to go with your mod or what you're wearing. Or your mood. Instead of mood rings (remember those?) we can have mood tips.
Thank you!!!And so mine!
Thanks Kayte and Doug!

I loved how she described her package coming and the detailed report of the package opening.
I'll just use photos I'm sure. To say I'm excited is somewhat of a understatement! lol
Oh and I changed my avatar so Choochoo won't think I'ma chicka now.
She may think I'm a monkey though huuum..lol
