Hostess Gift for a swap

The next time I make one of these adorable post it note holders using the acrylic photo frame or one of the ladies desk caddy’s I plan to add a clock to the piece, wouldn’t that be neat!

I hope you enjoy these pictures, stamp happy be a blessing.

shrink plastic embellishment swap

Are these not just the cutest things you have ever seen? I love shrink plastic, I use Shrinky Dink brand and buy it from my local Michael’s store with a coupon of course. I decided to keep the packaging for these very simple. I used my accucut puzzle die from their camp activities die set. It has really seen a lot of use with projects like this one. I cut them from both light chipboard and patterned paper from K&company. It is a pack from a few years ago, and I doubt they still manufacture it.

It was four weeks ago today that this angel puppy left our lives. She is still so missed. Looking back on the very painful decision to have her put down just makes me cry. Yesterday her house mates, Snickers and Buttercup where groomed. The salon staff had a card signed by all of the groomers. Every one had put sweet notes and sympathy love for our sweet baby to us. I was crying in the check out line.

On a side note, my shoulder seems better, but the back of my neck is so stiff and sore. I’ll be glad when these drugs do what they are supposed to do. They have to kick in soon!

Have a great day, stamp happy and be a blessing.

Bootiful stick pins and health update

Hi Friends!

It has just been beautiful weather here in Southern Maryland, too bad I haven’t been as sunny. On the 8th of September I was taken to the local emergency room with such spasms in my neck and back I couldn’t move. After three courses of pain killers I was sent home. Only to have to return at 6:00 the next morning. I followed up with my family doctor and she suggested Physical therapy. I have done three sessions and over all nothing was getting better.

Yesterday, I decided I had finally had *enough* problems and saw an Orthopedic doctor today. He stated I have a small bone spur between c-5 and 6 that is impinging on the nerve. He has prescribed a cortisone steroid for me to take. I have completed two of the six doses I have to take today. I am amazed that in just a few hours I feel so much better. Don’t get me wrong I still have pain but at least now it is mostly manageable.

Just for future reference, I have once again been attacked by some one I thought was a friend. It is a really sad story that I will out of respect for myself and this person not get into. However, it has caused me to rethink other things in my life including my online activities.

I belong to several .ning groups and feel that my work is being copied by some not so nice people. I will be going back to 100% watermarking all of my art. I also will be sharing swaps with you but will keep the group names annomous for the most part. I really hate doing this but there is bullying in these social sights and even on line, I am choosing to not go the path of others and be the better person. It is my responsibility to reflect the love of Christ in my life. To do no less just is a disappointment to my life’s ministry.

OK off my high horse. I used my sizzix bat die, it is one of the very original dies from Sizzix to cut out the bats. The 3D one is simply held together with E6000 glue and hot glue to keep it in place until it dried. The presentation is simple, I used the scallop envelope die from stampin up. The presentation is not complete yet, but I won’t be posting pictures of them finished, I want that part to be a bit of surprise for those participating in this swap.

Have a great night. Take the high road, even when you know or think you are right about something, some times it is best to just let it go. The Lord will find his way and show you his path. Many blessings. (proverbs Chapter 11 vs. 11-14).

Altered Canvas Swap

Hello my crafting friends!

Did you know that it is National Stamping Month? Yes it is. How exciting is that. Not sure if there is a ceremony or ritual that should be exercised with the celebration of my favorite hobby, so in honor of the month long celebration, I’m stamping.

I made the canvas for an on-line swap and I also am throwing in the coaster. I altered the paper weight to match the canvas. I hope my partner will like it.

Have a great night! Stamp happy and be a blessing!
