Stampin Up Ornament die

When my friend Marisol sent me the Stampin Up winter Holiday Catalog, once I viewed the cover I knew I not only wanted the stamps and dies, I had to have them.

I used my memento Bahama Blue and cottage ivy inks to make this project. I hope you’ll give Marisol some blog love and order some of these wonderful stamps. Stamp happy be a blessing.

Mike and Loretta Rodger

Mike and I recently attended a wedding in Aberdeen, Virginia. We had a lovely time.

The food was excellent, the decor’ was simple yet elegant and the music, wine and cake also very nice.

I ordered a 5X7″ print of the picture the photographer took of Mike and I. I had this frame in my laundry room, where it has been sitting, getting a bit bashed. I actually liked that it wasn’t perfect. That just adds to the charm of this project. I used my Wild Orchid Craft roses and flowers, the butterflies are stamped, colored trimmed and shrank using Shrinky Dink’s brand shrink film.

I embellished the piece with patterned paper, and bling. The entire project only took me about 2 hours to complete. That was mostly waiting for glue to dry.

Every thing was hot glued in place with a bit of E6000 so that when the piece is dry the flowers and decorations will be permanent.

Have a great day, Stamp happy and be a blessing!

MSR Flower and stick pin swap

This is the first time I have used the Power Director 10 software to create a side show. I’m not sure why the entire song “come to the well” did not come through in one piece. I have so many things to get done this week.

Please stay tuned for a 500 YouTube subby give away, I will also include the MSR Ticket swaps on a video, I am still waiting for a few more swaps to arrive.

If you are local and are interested in purchasing some 12X12 and/or 8 1/2″ X 11″ paper storage, please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com

Our family is still struggling not having our precious Lexie puppy. It is amazing how many accidents have stopped. We know for certain who the problem was now. It is so hard to be without her.

I hope you are all having a good day. School starts for Chad man tomorrow. My SENIOR! Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

Lexie with Snickers Winter 2011

Good bye Lexie

As many of you know Mike and I have been privileged to be the fur parents to three dogs.

Lexie came home Mother’s day weekend in 2001. She was born in March and she died this afternoon. After a long and agonizing set of circumstances we made the joint decision it was no longer fair to allow her to have poor quality of life and she was starting to suffer physical pain from a congenital hip deformity.

She was our first fur baby. Once all three puppies are gone we will be done with fur babies. We love them and will enjoy what ever years we have. It will be no easier to have the other’s put to sleep. Lexie was especially hard.

Mike and I have cried, and still cry over the loss of this angel. We have put her collar on the floor in a common area so the other two can smell it. They keep looking at the door and Snickers keeps looking for her. In her usual haunts, like the puppy bed or by the food dish.

We have chosen to not have her ashes returned to us. We had considered burring her remains in the yard but are afraid that some wild animal would disturb her resting place.

Thank you for your kind comments on face book and those of you who have called we do appreciate everything you do. Keep us in your prayers. Loosing this precious puppy is just so hard.

Much love,
