Sorry I’ve been MIA for the last few days. It is crazy around here. Have you guys been looking at the counter? Wow my birthday is two days away and that is when blog candy will be drawn. See my last post for pictures and details.

I did a bunch of shopping over the last four days, I’ll try to shoot a video of my loot so you can see my great buys and deals. I had a blast visiting some friends and family over the weekend.

Have a great night and I hope to post tomorrow, keep those comments coming!

I have been working on Birthday Random act of kindness cards for Splitcoast stampers. I love doing these each month. This month is no exception. I chose to go with a muted soft color theme to remind us of the warmer days of spring and summer.

It has been snowing here steadily since about 10:00 we are expecting 3″ to 4″ of snow overnight. It is so beautiful. The flakes are big and fluffy. I think it is now time for some hot chocolate and an afternoon watching “Its a wonderful life” a holiday tradition in our home.

Great news, Craig graduated technical school with the Air Force right on time, December 3, 2009. He was a bit surprised by how this graduation worked. He literally took his final test, the instructor handed him his certificate and told him “good luck”. He is excited as are we. He received his orders on Friday and is heading back home to Andrews AFB. The even better news is he will most likely join me for my birthday celebration on the 15th.

Stamp Happy, stay safe!

I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend recovering from Turkey overlad. My husband and I ate out at our favorite watering hole, it is called “Sullivans“. I so enjoy our date nights together.
**
Even though I did not get as much stamping accomplished today as I would have liked, I did take the time to clean off my desk and clean out a cabinet. I even finished off most of our laundry. That is what I call a productive day.
**
I hope you are all enjoying better weather than we are! It is cold and raining. I’ll be so glad for some cold and dry weather. Even our three dogs barely clear our front porch to take care of “business”. Kinda sad really!
**
I hope you guys have a great monday, stay tuned for two or three new stamp sets that will be added to the blog candy. Right now in the pot is $20.00 cash and a hand stamped card and one surprise goody!

Stamp Happy stay safe this Holiday season!
A Holiday Planner — in Progress!
Hi fellow crafty people!
**
I have seen many versions of a Holiday planner done. Many of the searches I have done through google have given me instructions for every thing from altering a composition notebook to using a file folder to make a portfolio.
**
With all these ideas in hand, I decided to go off the beaten path a bit. I chose to use the cardboard that comes in a paper pack and cut it down to 6″ X 6″. The inner pages are ordinary lunch sacks I purchased from the grocery store.
**
I covered the chipboard with decorative paper and distressed the edges slightly using ink sponged around the sides. Each page has different coordinating decorative paper. The images I have used so far are from Sugar Nellie stamps and Stampendous. Click on the names to go to the manufactures web sights. I think you will agree after visiting their web sights they both have fantastic images to purchase.
**
Officially, I’m excited. Have you seen what Sizzix has been up too? They have new dies called “Scoreboards”. Oh my! There is a new checkbook cover, gable box and many more. Click their name to view the new stuff. I have placed an order with an online company that has them for reasonable prices. I purchased my dies from two sources, EBay and Memory Making crafts. Click on their name for the link.
I hope you guys enjoyed a joyful Thanksgiving and are having a wonderful weekend. Stamp Happy!

Blog candy continues until Deccember 15. Stay tuned to the blog for a new video tutorial this week.

A note to Susan, you can purchase BIA binding from Queens Ink at Savage Mills. Her web sight is: http://www.queensink.com.

Please email me, we have a great group of local girls who stamp and have lunch and other fun stuff, and I’m always up for new friends and a play date! Email for you and everyone is: Ms.Rhetta@verizon.net. Hugs and have a great Sunday.
