The Valentine treat box above measures 6 13/16″ X 3″
score at 1″ – 3 3/8″ – 4″ and 6 3/8″
Punch a hole at the top put your ribbon over the treat box and through the holes to create handles. I used the “happy heart day” stamp set from Stampin Up for the front panel, she is colored with Copic markers.
Craig is doing well at Sheppard AFB in TX. I was able to call him last night. He was thrilled to be able to shower by himself for a change. I’m getting a goody package together for him today and hope to make it to the post office tomorrow.
No new word n Mike’s deployment date. The really bad part is he will be traveling most weeks and some weekends until he leaves .

The card is by Gloria Jewett and it is for my ‘anything goes’ card swap that I am hosting on cuppas and cards. Click here for the link. It is a fairly new on-line community for paper crafts, stampers, scrappers and artists.
There are lots of fun forums, a wonderful gallery and really nice people to chat with. I hope you will consider joining our fun group!
This was my first attempt at using my new sizzix purse die. You can’t really see the embossing on the front of the purse and the chipboard letter “T” is too dark, I also don’t like the flower, its a little too matchy – matchy for me.
I will be redoing this with some more color combinations probably tomorrow.
Today I did get some ‘utility’ stamping in. I have recently purchased some stamps and wanted to get some images onto card stock. My hands are still inky!
I enjoyed another great day today! Craig was able to call home last night and he was getting settled. I know he was in for a long day as tech school kids hit the ground running!
I hope you will all have a great day. Watch the blog! I am going to add to the blog candy this week!
Don’t forget to see my last post in regards to blog candy, it is still up for grabs. I am using my hubby’s computer for today’s post.
Here is a picture of Craig and I shortly after graduation! All I have to say is WOW!
The kid has diffidently changed and we had a wonderful weekend together.
Chad was a bit of a toad making weird faces in some of the pictures.
We spent a few hours on post before heading out to the town. Craig’s flight had won “Beast” week. The group photo of the men in their blues is wonderful, the caption reads ‘From knuckleheads to Knights”!
We visited the Alamo and other down town features like the river walk.
I saw another mom hugging the stuffing out of her son, and couldn’t help but to reply ‘be careful or you’ll pop that hat right off’, the kid just smiled and shook his head ‘yes’ while the mom just giggled. Craig was like — yes, mom you got that right!
Craig’s cell phone was returned to him yesterday, so he was thrilled to give me a call earlier today. He is headed to Shepard AFB for his Technical school training. He will be gone for another six weeks. I will go down for that graduation (I hope) and he will get to return home for two weeks. After seeing how clean that dorm was I’m thinking of hiring him to clean this house…. just kidding!
I hope you are all doing well.
Oh, the local bullies are at work again. Please pray for me. Why can’t people just leave you alone when you’ve asked them nicely? Here is a link I think you’ll find helpful to lean how to deal with bullies click here, it is designed for children, but since these adults do not get ‘grown up’ way of doing things I’m posting it for those of us who may be dealing with difficult circumstances and inappropriate behavior.
I hope to be able to do some stamping tomorrow. Today was all about the post min-vacation catch up with the laundry and housework. I will have Chad help with some of the vacuuming. My back is a bit strained from long flights.
OK, forgot to mention the ‘blog candy ‘ rules. They are pretty simple.
You may leave a comment on any post on this blog. I will be ‘adding’ to the candy in the upcoming weeks. I will draw for the candy around Feb 21.
For those who asked about the journal, I tried to use my crop a dile big bite and I was just not strong enough to punch through the thickness of the note pad. That is why I elected to drill the holes with my dermel tool. Please note, the friction does cause the paper to ‘smoke’ a bit, so please use reasonable caution!
No stamping for me today. I had a bunch of work around the house to catch up!
I hope to get a little time to stamp today.
How do you like the picture of that spoiled little blond dog? She was very content under my feet and in front of the heater, I couldn’t resist but to take her picture and share it!
I hope you guys have a great night! Blogger’s spell check is not working so please forgive any typo’s or incorrectly spelled words!
