Tuesday! Tuesday! Tuesday!

“Men, God Bless them, God Keep them, God Darn them” quote my Ms. Barb. So, Barb if your reading this Mr. Mike say’s HI! (ps he thought the note was funny!)

My darling husband has actually been working from an offfice and not at home this week. It is kinda amazing to me how much stuff you can get done when they are gone. I’ve gotten most of the laundry finished up, I’ve done the vacumming and all 3 bathrooms. Now maybe tomorrow I won’t have ‘guilt’ when I actually get some stamping done.

I’ve been stamping as well as housework, but not much, I really just wanted to get stuff finished up.

I love to alter stuff, todays project was a small $1.00 candle fromWal-mart. It is still very usable since the paper doesn’t come up so far that it would be a hazzard. Even though its safe to burn, with any candle, always use just caution!

Our garden this year is doing well, I turned into a tomato about a month ago, but they are so good. Tomorrow, I’ll need to get out and clean them all up, especially the cherry tomatoes, that suffered a bit in the high winds and rain the other day!

Tomorrow is also my ‘co-missery’ (commissary) day, the commissary is the military equilivant of a grocery store. I’m starting to need paper towels and toilet paper people!

I’ll take some pictures tomorrow of the other mini designer bags I am working on, but until then, be safe, and Stamp Happy!

Loretta!

Windy Saturday! Look at these great projects!

**********

It is very windy here tody in Maryland. We are getting lot of rain and wind from what is left of tropical storm Hanna. It is a much needed rain our grass and the veggies are loving it.

Our puppies, not so much. They have been sitting round for hours with their paws crossed, it is too funny!

I took advantage of the husband being gone yesterday and accomplished much of my housework. Its really a nice thing when the last of the chores is laundry. I can stamp and do laundry!

I still haven’t heard from Erika the blog candy winner, if you know her, please drop her a line and let her know she won! I’m really excited to have such great people who love my blog and of course like to stamp!

The first card to the upper left is baby thank you card using a whipper snapper stamp, it is colored with copic markers, I love them. I am still very much a newbie when it comes to using them, but I am really loving the effect you get when using them.

They are super easy!

The second (fuzzy imge — sorry) is a mini treat bag. I cn so see these as tea party favors, they hold a small amount of candy and are very easy breezy to make. The idea came from this tutorial, please click here. It is a smaller version. Thank you, Ti for the informtion. You can find Ti’s blog by clicking here.

The thrid card is also a whipper snapper design ‘dinosaur’ card. The image is also colored with copic markers. I used some dew drops and prima flowers to finish it off.

Stamp Happy!

The winner is —- drum roll please!

Drum roll please we have a blog candy winner!

Once again this drawing was alot of fun, I put all the names into a container and drew this one myself. My sweet hubby thought I was nuts, but was too busy working to be able to take a picture for me!

The winner is —-

Erika; please email me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net and I’ll get your goodies out hopefully by Monday.

Every time someone posted that is how many times I put your name into my container I tried to make it as fair as possible. I think all of you sweet folks are winners! I adore getting the comments.

Ok — what do I do? I accidently deleted 7 posts, if your’s came back to you, would you please post your comment again. I had already put the names in a hat when I got distracted and found them rejected. Oh I feel terrible. Is there a way I can recover them?!

This is a cute fun fold bag, it makes good use of that fab-o score pal I bought a while back. I’ve used it alot and really love having it. It is a nifty little tool.

Blog candy will begin again mid September. Hopefully you’ll still read and comment on the blog!

Stamp Happy!

Tomorrow is blog candy! Look what I’ve been stamping!

Well, you can kinda see the haircut, I’ll have my DH take a picture later on when I’ve had a chance to wash and ‘girl up’ that mess later on!

The cute little french fry box and cow are both new dies from sizzix, you can see all the great new things they have by clicking here! I absolutely adore the new XL dies I so have to have the exclusive ones from Stampin Up, hey you should see my list!

(Think of me when it comes to that extra special gift giving — lol).

Here are a few of the projects I’ve been working on, aren’t they fun!

See the descriptions for these great projects below!
*********************************************

Top, french fry box with cow sizzix dies, filled with mini cow tails, next (in the middle) is an altered jar filled with shrinky dink plastic shapes, then on the bottom is a small lunch pain, I totally destroyed this one, I removed the handle and the back hinges so you simply lift the lid right off, it is for my new little sis on SCS, its filled with prima’s! You can’t see the little butterfly but there is one on the top left corner, I also used butterfly scrap paper to cover it, I simply used a watered down gold paint to glaze it.

Tomorrow is the drawing for blog candy! It will probally be tomorrow night around this time, so get those posts in!

I hope you are all enjoying the blog. Thank you everyone who have left such wonderful and encouraging comments, I appreciate knowing that this is a fun place to visit!

Stamp Happy!

Isn’t this a pretty mini card? It measures 3X3″ finished.

I used some more of the shrinky dink plastic to do the butterflies. I just love the color combinations.

Today I will be workin gon some altered art projects. I have a small hand sander and a bunch of tins I picked up for really cheap (Some as cheap as 34 cents!) I’ll sand them down and doctor them up!

It is so nice here today in Maryland, the beginning of fall in the air, the house is open and the curtains are gently ruffled by a nice breeze. I can just hear my power bill going ahhh!

I hope everyone is doing well. Stamp Happy!
