Christmas cards

I’ve been stamping my day away, kinda. I finished up ten Christmas cards today. Most of them have the sentiment stamped onto white card stock on the inside of the cards. I really am enjoying the Stampedeous stamp set I purchased at Photo Scraps. The store is about thirty to fourty five minutes from my home, but so worth the drive.

Recently my husband took time from his schedule and we drove out north of Baltimore to purchase some cast iron skillets on the way home he took me to Photo Scraps and Queens Ink. Queens Ink is closer to my home, but she specializes in the more artsy fartsy stamps than are in my personal taste.

I do love going to her store, she is located in the historic Savage Mills and it is just chalked full of wonderful shops, resturants and small specialty stores! If you are not a local Maryland person, I highly recommend if you are ever in the area, visit the mill.

Have a great afternoon! Blog candy November 15 to December 15. I’ll celebrate my 45th birth day with a gift for my blog friends. Remember you can follow me in google reader or subscribe via feedblitz. Email me with any questions!

Stamp Happy friends!

A few Christmas cards — blog candy has begun!

Hi my crafty friends!

Technically blog candy started yesterday, November 15 and runs until my 45th birthday on December 15. Please fee free to leave comments any where on my blog for your chance to win. The first thing you will receive is the winter greetings card you see above.

This set of stamps from Stampendous called snowy short stacks was purchased from my local stamp store. I certainly adore this set. It is like a build a bear thing. You can pick and choose mix and match the images for terrific and fun results.

I am still deciding on a Christmas card for my family this year and think these two are diffently in the running.

Tomorrow is report card day, I’m actually looking forward to it. Wonder where we’ll have our celebratory honor roll report card meal at. So cross your fingers for the Chad!

Have a stamp happy night and stamp happy!

Some fun altered items

Hello Stampers and crafty people!

It seems forever since I posted any of my work. The small orange box is a cigar box I purchased from a local tobacco shop. I covered it in card stock that matches my copic storage box. The copic storage box.

Both have owls from the chipboard from stamping up. I really like the way they turned out. The owl on the smaller box needs some little sparkle for his eyes and he’ll be finished.

Blog candy will begin on November 15 and run until my birthday on December 15. Shelly is my last blog candy winner and her goodies should go postal tomorrow or Monday. The weather here has been just terrible. It is cold, windy and rainy. What I consider a perfect day to just sit around in my sweats, have a cup of hot tea and stamp!

I plan to complete my housework tomorrow so I can stamp this weekend. I have several projects I need to complete.

Stamp Happy!

No worries!

Just a quick blog post.

First of all, I would like to thank the many (many) people who have emailed me asking how I am. I know that I have been a bad blogger recently.

I have been busy with various things over the last few weeks. Not the least of which is my oldest son. Yes, the Airman James. He turned 21 on the 21st of October and had some fraudulent activity on his checking account.

At the same time, his car engine died. Turns out a minor radiator problem fried his engine. So we are trying to guide him through the process of junking his old car and buying a good quality used one. I’m proud of the way he is handling the situation.

Report cards come home from school on the 17th, so I will have a clear picture of how Chad is starting off the school year. I’m actually looking forward to seeing his grades. He has been diligent about getting his work done and his attitude toward education continues to be positive.

Please take care stay warm and stamp happy!

Chad Turns 15!

I am so proud of him. He continues to do awesome in school and is over all just a great kid! Yes I am bias!
