I have a significant birthday this coming Saturday, as can be seen by the beautiful card I received from Anne a week early and opened by mistake!
I thought I needed to mark this occasion with something a bit special and I took delivery of this package yesterday. Obviously I can't open it until Saturday, but thought I might get you all guessing. Such a tease. I have placed it on my desk the right way up, not upside-down like the delivery man had it! I'll reveal all next week, and maybe I'll post clues in the week too!
I have done a lot in my 12 Months in View journal this week. I used the giveaway papers for my flower of the month page and I made up the pocket and tag, the front of the tag became my Timmy Tag for February.I also raised an issue with Ranger about some of my Distress Stains changing colour or becoming smelly and I await replacements.
I have been watching the Winter Olympics and have been totally taken in by the artwork they have been using. I did a page in my journal, diary (DLP) and my February zine using the designs.
I then made up all the 4 zines into a little book.
Do come and join the fun in what we lovingly call WOYWW at Julia's pad.
Happy guessing!
And the clues start
1) Going by the comments so far I can say it is NOT a visual craft as such although it will be something nice to look at in itself.

Julia and I were praising the Olympics artwork too! I love your journal pages, you've really caught the colours.
A big birthday, huh? Hope you have a wonderful day...it gets better from here. I've definitely got my devilment back after a subdued couple of years!!
And I think your parcel contains a xylophone!!!!
Hugs, LLJ 39 xx
Hi BJ it's fun reading what people think may be in your parcel :-) :-) The pages etc you have done are just gorgeous. Anne x 78
Hi BJ-
Aren't those graphics gorgeous at the Olympics? The first time I saw them I was bowled over. But my mouth was literally hanging open (not a good visual!) when I saw your pages....they are FABULOUS. How did you do that. I want to copy it. BADLY. They are so vibrant and full of life - now that I stop to think of it so different than my usual impression of Russia, but then I suppose that's the point. And what a grand idea to make them into a little journal.
I have no idea what the package is - I'm terrible at riddles so will just look forward to the big reveal next week.
Enjoy. Hugs.

Hi BJ - a big birthday - but, oh, SOOOOO young!! That crocus page is beautiful - well done. Think I know what is an the parcel from its shape - but am I allowed to guess out loud???? Can't have everyone else thinking I'm clever.. just happen to share an interest, if I've guessed right.
Have a great day.

Happy birthday a few days early. I'll be back to wish you one properly on your big day.
I think you're teasing us, and it's really a metronome. JOKE!! I actually have NO idea what it is.
I confess I haven't been watching the Olympics. But I love those colors and I may just have to watch now that the colors are so visual.
Thanks for visiting me while I slept, ate, and cuddled with Bleubeard. I can't believe you visited me before I visited you this week. Happy WOYWW from #1.

Hi BJ,
You are such a tease. I'm thinking it must be a small harp?!?
Your Sochi journal pages are great. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch much of the Olympics; saw a bit of the Opening Ceremony (lucky enough to watch the United States march in).
Thank you for visiting me already!!
Happy WOYWW
