A special Thank you!

Happy Mail!

My ‘anything’ goes card swap

First off for today’s post I would like to thank “my secret friend” for the package. I would love to share the details of the letter that came with the package, however out of respect for the sender I will not. It was a nice surprise and I really will enjoy the contents. I want to thank you for the sincere letter. At least I am not the only one to address certain issues that you brought up with kindness and respect. The package and the letter are both blessings to me.

I am not sure if you can see all the wonderful goodies or not, but inside the box wrapped in a bunch of bubble wrap, plastic bags and tissue paper I found a bunch of fun stuff. There are fun brads, ribbon (I love ribbon) and some stuff to alter, two tag books (I plan to use as patterns). Some cute stickers, page adornments and more.

The package couldn’t have arrived on my front porch at a better time. As many of you know, my sweet Michael is working far from home. It is difficult on us both. He will not be coming home this weekend I probally will not see him until next Friday.

I had gotten a bit spoiled with him working from home and being able to spend my day to day with him beside me. I made a decision a week ago that I will treat myself to a one time maid service. Yes, I can do house work on my own, but this is the deep down stuff I will gladly let some one else do!

For those of you who are participating in my ‘anything goes’ card swap, here is a list of the cards I have currently received. Please have your cards in my mail box no later than Thrusday, March 5, 2009. I am extending the deadline to allow my late swappers a chance to participate.

Have a great day !

San Diego — Zoo!

What a long week!

Here is the story. I haven’t been blogging very much in the last few weeks. I know, it sucks!

I had a case of a stomach flu the beginning of last week and my hubby was in New Jersey for the week. He came home on Thursday night and invited me to go to Yuma, AZ and San Diego. Mike had to work all day on Saturday, which meant I spent a few hours in the Arizona sun shine and at the spa. Ah nice.

I recently purchased a Sony Walkman and enjoyed listening to my tunes while enjoying the sun!

We took Monday off and went to San Diego zoo. It was so much fun. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the lack of viewing for many of the exhibits. My favorite part was the sky tram and bus tours.

I will be catching you guys up tomorrow on what I have been stamping.

Have a great night!

I put all the names from the comments in a hat (for every comment your name was put in once) and the winner was drawn this morning by my son Chad. Create+Fun, please email me at: ms.rhetta@verizon.net and let me know your snail mail info so I can mail you off the goodies!

For those ‘in the loop’ I am feeling much better. My three day stomach flu finally cleared up. Just in time for a quick trip to Yuma, AZ and San Diego, CA. I loved the zoo! I hope to have my laptop up and running again in the next few days. I have so much junk on there that I am having to transfer larger files to my external back up (terabyte) drive. I am also having issues with the computer’s battery. I finally have decided to just replace the unit.

I am really enjoying my new Sony Walk man. My hubby has taken a few hours and lots of music later and I have a nice collection on the Walk man. I’m now one of those ‘mom’s’ in the grocery store listening to tunes while picking out veggies. It is really kinda fun. Favorite Gene re’s include Christian and Country. Even though I have a new appreciation for old 1950’s and 1960’s music.

Have a great day. I’m off to run some errands.

Hugs,

Blog candy on hold

SO sorry for not posting. Last week I had a terrible tummy flu, and this weekend I’m in Yuma, AZ. I actually went swimming and laid by the pool thi afternoon.

So since I am not home, I’m putting off blog candy, so continue to try for it if you like.

I’ll probally post some pictures of what I have been up too soon.

PS, Craig will be working on the B-2 bomber program when he finishes up at Sheppard AFB, TX. How cool is that?!

Have you seen?

A bit of blog candy for you guys!

Hello!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Sunday! It has been a quiet day and I spelt in!

There are bunches of kids in our neighbor hood and when I hear one of the younger ones is having a birthday I try to make a card. This one is going to our little ‘Candie’ for her upcoming birthday. I will add a chipboard #6 above the birthday. I just don’t have one for the card example. Close your eyes, you can picture it there!

If you are in the local area, it is worth a trip to the Michael’s in Bowie, Maryland. It is one of the new ‘signature’ stores with all the stamping and scrap booking supplies in the center it is well organized and I found a few really nice deals and goodies. Including these stamps. Gotta love the online 50% off coupon. I put my son and hubby both in line with the coupons!

Have a great night!

Stamp Happy!
