The picture to the left is of myself and my sweet husband, Michael. The unit Mike was assigned to had a bash last night at a local restaurant. The food and the drinks where awesome! We enjoyed an evening of great company! The ‘send me’ foundation I spoke of yesterday raised quiet a bit of money to help out the Louise-Rosa Valentine family he is the wounded solider
I mentioned in a previous post.
Whether you agree with the war or not, these men and women are serving and protecting our country, often at the cost of life and limb to protect the precious freedoms we so easily enjoy and take for granted.
If you would like more information on how you can help this solider please email me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net. Louise-Rosa Valentine is currently on Ward 57 at Walter Reid in room 5711. Mike and I last visited him and his high school buddy last Monday. Louise underwent surgery to repair his eardrums (he was totally deaf until the surgery). This kid is awesome.
With a young recruit in this house getting ready to leave for basic training in the Air Force, my precious freedoms and great faith in God are once again proven.
I hope every one enjoys the rest of your Sunday! Stamp Happy!
Delightful Paisley
I wanna be a star!
Our finances are not where I can afford a video camera as of yet, but I’m hoping that within the next three weeks I will be able to add video to my blogs as well. I’m also looking into some of those side show programs so I can upload some of my card and scrapbooking creations for you to enjoy!
Happy Sunday!
I had a few requests for a ‘new card’ and here is one I did (I am submitting this one for possible publication), I call him ‘sleepy guy’ and here is the recipe:
Stamps: Yawning Critter – house mouse, sentiment – unknown
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black
Paper: blue card base and patterned scrapbooking paper
Instructions:
Blue card base measures 5 ½ X 4 ¼” finished. Distressed blue card stock measures 5 ¼” X 4”, the stripped piece measures 1 ½” X 4”. Stamp mouse in graphite black brilliance ink onto white card stock that measures 2 ¾ X 2 ¼”and heat set, color with copic markers. Layer this onto a darker blue card stock piece that measures 3”X 2 ¾”.
Layer stripped paper onto bottom, stamp ‘best wishes onto circle that is 1 ¼” layer as shown. Embellish with ribbon.
Remember, feel free to CASE my work, but don’t submitt it for publication
I’m thinking of starting some ‘paper crafting’ classes in my home to generate some extra income, (which will probally pay for oh lets say more stamps — lol). Oh I am so addicted.
For todays blog candy addiction I am adding an Inkadinkado clear stamp set it is set #93621, it has travel theme and a prety ‘bridal’ type dress, I’ll scan it tomorrow for you to see.
That’s all for today. Please join my Vacation/Summer theme card swap. I still need players, if I don’t get some more players by tomorrow I’ll have to cancel the swap. That would be sad!
Happy Stamping!
