Trumping Ciera

Ciera's debut has been trumped by  Pam and her match box vacation...
I was feeling a bit blue this morning having to leave one of my Labradors for test regarding surgery.
When Rich gave me a rather big box I was surprised, when I opened it I giggled and all Rich wanted to know was "What size matches came in that box ?" LOL
There was a lovely card from the Philadelphia Museum of Art..Pam explained my "vacation" where I could stay and what I would see. I will try and list all that was in the box, just so you realize why there was no way  she could use a regular Match Box.  A little packet of 12 mini Prints, a packet of 12 postcards, colonial coin and bank note, a framable parchment. poor Richards Almanack 1773, Hard cover book containing the Declaration of Independence, 2 Liberty Bell thimbles, 3 pencil sharpeners of three favorite  attractions..The liberty Bell, The Betsy Ross house and Independence Hall, a key chain of  Ben Franklin getting fried (that is funny), Bill of Rights pencil,.. a bunch of brochures that I would collect while visiting and a map of the city of Philadelphia. The icing on the cake was a beautiful little Betsy Ross doll. Pam painted the outside of the box and showed the State Flag in the cover (as seen in the pictures). It was a fabulous surprise and Pam really outdid herself...Thank you Pam and thank you Kai for a fun swap....
Ciera is going to live with Kai, but I did take lots of pic's which I will share tomorrow...

Is she cute or what ?
