It's here!!!

My new APQS Millenium Long Arm in its box

Isn't that the best box? The APQS folks are great and the Millenium long arm has arrived.

I'm late for work, and I have been reading the 80+ page assembly manual, but my day job has my attention for the next couple of days. After that the assembly begins.


The truck was as wide as my street, and it was very cold so unloading was fast to the garage.


And look, the actual machine comes with a big red bow on top. Seriously.

I have to run off to work, but if you haven't yet entered my giveaway from yesterday, what are you waiting for, it's Kate Spain after all.

Best,

Leanne

    If you didn't work for yourself I'd be advising you that you were too poorly to go to work ;)

    OMG - that is hilarious and perfect. I will not lie, I am super jealous. I've been scheming - mean planning - how to get my hands on one of those. I'd love a review as you get used to your new baby. Congrats!!
