Don’t worry about me! A quck update on “progress”

Hi Stampers!

A quick post this morning to let my loyal blog followers know I won’t be stamping until the middle of next week. Check my previous post for the details of blog candy!

I have new paper storage coming in on the 13th, and I can’t even get to my stamping desk until then, it is covered with my paper. If you are local area plan on checking in on the blog or via email around the 15th of July for a listing of what I will be selling or gifting. There is way more paper than I realized I owned. I will also be sharing some other items, cigar boxes and other things, tins, etc., for altering.

Also, if you are in the local area and are in need of a washer and dryer, please let me know, I am selling my old set and have purchased the Duet from Whirlpool. The set is in excellent condition. Uhaul of course.

I’ll be posting some pictures of the progress. Be safe and Stamp Happy!

Reorganizing and a fun card! blog candy until July 31st!

Hello Stampers!

I actually started blog candy a few days ago, but haven’t had many responses, so I’ve decided to give you a list of this months blog candy (from June 28 until July 31).

Leave a comment on the blog any where, if you post my candy to your blog I’ll put your name in the hat an additional five times. This will stay at the top of my blog until blog candy is drawn. Email me to let me know your blog address so I can put you in the hat the additional five times!

Sakura stardust jelly roll pens

Summer camp stamp kit (comes with an acrylic block and fun orange

stamp pad) from the paper company)

Jungle clear stamps also from the paper company

A pair of fun socks, a Yankee candle in “garden “scent

An altered tea bag holder

An altered post it holder

I will most likely be adding to the blog candy so keep your eyes peeled.

Isn’t this adorable? I purchased this cute monkey stamp from my local craft store last week and felt the need to put it to use. My secret sister will be receiving this card along with an altered item this week.

I used dew drops and nestabilities to complete this clean and simple layout. I really enjoy the colors of the ocean and think they work well together.

I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July celebrations. Our family worked outside in our yard and also enjoyed hot dogs on the grill. I have been reorganizing my craft area the last few days and am waiting for ‘store’ like display shelves for my massive paper.

Before I forget, if you received an unsubscription from me for your blog through feedblitz, my wacky computer unsubscribed me from all blogs not just the one that I found offensive. I am working on restoring these subscriptions. So please accept my humble apology for this computer problem.

Stamp Happy!

For those who are asking, Craig is driving currently to his new duty station at Keesler,AFB in Mississippi when we spoke with him earlier today he should be arriving around 5:00 pm. We titled his Honda over to him so it is now his ‘baby’. He is actually enjoying the drive. It is his first long trip alone. (Except for all the calls from his parents).

I realized the other day that Chad actually made the honor roll EVERY reporting period last year. Chad was diagnosed with ADHD/hyperactivity as a small child and has had an individualized education program guide to help with some developmental delays. When Mike and I first married Chad’s vocabulary was about 12 words.

Fast forward eight years and with the help of educators, and parents Chad is on grade level with excellent grades and testing appropriately for his educational levels. He is looking forward to beginning high school this fall. This week he is enjoying a summer camp at the local college, my geek is taking gaming strategy for chess, backgammon and other board games.

I hope you are all well, I’ll probably be caught up from our recent trip soon and should be able to get some much needed stamp time in.

Stamp Happy!

Our Mini Vacation

Hello Stampers

Ever notice how even when your kids grow up, they are still just kids?

Don’t you just love the pictures of my boys at the beach on Tuesday? It was sunny and at times overcast. The water was way too cold (at 65*) to swim, but it was refreshing to see the young men have such a nice time.

We spend Monday afternoon until yesterday at the New Jersey, Tinton Falls area near Ft. Monmouth Army base. We really enjoyed our time together and are not looking forward to seeing Craig go to his next duty station on Sunday. It has really been a nice week and visit with our son.

I have been stamping, and will show y our pictures of what I am creating soon. I need to finish up some thank you notes for my niece who recently graduated from high school.

I hope every one has a nice afternoon.

I have enjoyed today very much, I meet up with my friends Rhonda and Kathi to celebrate Rhonda’s birthday at a local Mexican restaurant, we then drove to our local stamp store and did some retail therapy. It was so nice to spend time with both ladies!

Stamp Happy!

Craig arrived safely into BWI yesterday around noon. He was dressed in his ABU (Air force basic) uniform. Poor guy I immediately tried to pop that hat right off his head!

So, as promised, blog candy will begin! The first few days of candy are just a teaser! Trying to get you guys interested in the blog. The first item of blog candy will be an altered post it holder. I’ll start posting pictures tomorrow to my side bar, until then, start posting comments. Blog candy will run from today, June 20 until July 21.

Stamp Happy,

PS, still working on the never ending card video, I will totally re post when I can get the video done!
