Picture of the big “Ouch” — Lights!

Just in case you didn’t notice, there isn’t alot of skin there, it is mostly raw “meat”, I do feel sorry for him, but this owie has been weeping all day, I am going to have to re-dress the wound tonight, I just finished cleaning it out and applying an antibiotic ointment, I want him to allow this to dry out a few hours before the re-dressing. Nasty wound there Chad! p.s. Chad’s current status is 138# and 6’2 1/2″ My mojo is off today, I am very tied for some strange reason but sometimes that is just life.OK pictures of my new lights:

Lights! My husband is so great, I know I have the best man on the planet. I have been wanting some track lights over my new die cutting area ever since I re-designed this area. Remember the large over sized desk that took up too much room in the basement? I don’t miss that monstrosity. The track lights are actually adjustable and have a dimmer switch. In order to keep things neat, Mike put small electrical clips over the wires to keep them from hanging. When he put the switch on the cord, he made sure it would match the one over my desk I use for shooting video’s. I hid (some what) the electrical tape he has holding them together with ribbon, Its pretty cute. I must put in here it is also very practical! Mini blog candy will be drawn on September 2, remember I’m giving away some Magnolia images and some ribbon. Stay tuned, my blog-a-versary is coming up soon and there will be give-a-ways and fun prizes, contests and more during the 10 days. Your homework is to look up and find out when my first post was, the first five to email me at ms.rhetta@gmail.com will receive a personalized card and envelope of small goodies from me. Stamp Happy, be a blessing!

Happy Halloween

Hi everyone; What drama we had in our home last night! Chad went to the pool on his bicycle and on the way home didn’t pay attention to what he was doing and crashed the bike onto the hard payment. He called us from his cell (very upset and bleeding) so Mike and I went to the rescue. I walked out the house with no purse, no shoes, just a rag and some towels to “access” the damage. We arrived to find Chad visible shaken, with a gash to his hand, I knew immediately it meant a trip to the local Urgent care center.

We came home and grabbed purse, ID, etc., and headed off to the Medical center. Five stitches later and cleaning of all the road rash sights we made it home after 11:00 pm. That was a grand total of 3 hours at the facility. They even took a precaution and Xray’d his hand.

Today he is fine, shaken (not stirred, ha ha) and very stiff and sore. Unfortunately the bike is going to need some major repairs due to the force of the impact with the ground. Today is much more settled, I decided to do a bit of Halloween stamping. It is hard to believe it is time to stamp for the Fall/Halloween season. I used this trick or treat stamps from Kraftin Kimmie stamps. A link to her challenge blog is on my side bar. Please let her know I recommended you to visit her great store and blog. Her images are just adorable. Have a great weekend, keep your nose clean and your knees un-skinned! Be a blessing! Mini Blog candy, Some ribbon and stamped Magnolia images will be drawn September 2.

Coffee anyone?

I made this cute card for a coffee swap. I had a really great time matching up the designer paper with the stamp. She is from Crafting Kimmie Stamps. I used actual coffee beans as embellishments, the cards smell so good! I only have one more set of cards to do for this swap. I found out today that Magnolia stamps has a brand spanking new magazine called “Magnolia Ink“, I hear it is not new, but I sure do like it! Now, I just need *want* more stamps! Have a great evening and stamp happy!

Yes, I was lazy and sat the mini scrap book up on my computer to take the pictures, it was the ultimate in lazy, but I was busy eating Reese’s cups and drinking soda. No wonder I’m so blasted heavy. Hey my fat is my friend.

On a side note, the depression issue has very much lifted, I thank God for the correct medications, a great doctor and a wonderful professional counselor.

The magnolia image is actually the front of the book, and the back of the book is the three hearts, the other pages shown are in no particular order.

My first project uses The Box, Tall w/ Scallop Flap #656521.

I embellished the box by cutting the scallop flap out of a scrap of paper and layering onto the box. The scalloped tag is a nestabilities die and the stamp is from Magnolia Rubber stamps. I sponged the edges of the box using memento Angel Pink ink. I re-enforced all of the scores with my bone folder before sponging. The box is finished simply with a ribbon. The image is colored with copic markers.
