The picture above is of a waterfall card I did back in Feburary. I just love cards that ‘do’ something!

Please continue to read my blog and leave comments!

One more thing, LINDA, was my last blog candy winner, and very graciously sent me a beautiful thank you card in the mail. It was so very thoughtful of you and I enjoyed receiving (and using) it! Thank you again for your thoughtfulness!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Friday!

I am so sorry I missed a blog date yesterday. I enjoyed my ‘work day’ my husband and I had been ‘discussing’ the state of our laundry room. It had started to become a catch all. Folks, let me tell you my sweetheart is retired Army, and yupper you guessed it that wasn’t gonna fly.

I have to admitt just an hour or so into our ‘adventures in laundry’, I was very pleased with how everything is coming together, I actually have a ‘system’ for the overflow pantry items and cleaning supplies/materials. Not to mention my seasonal items are together. I can actually find stuff! WOO hoo!

Here is the latest in blog candy offering, it is a set of clear stamps from Inkadinkado it is item #97529 Humorous Birthday.

Don’t you like it? I love their products.

Today I did have a friend stop by for some stamping time. It is always nice to have people over.

I am selling off some Sparkle N sprinkle stamp sets and singletons, as well as some stampin Up sets, please email me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net to receive a list of what I have. Prices do not include shipping, but I do accept paypal.

Today’s challenges to get a little house work have gone well. I hope to get more done tomorrow.

Happy Stamping,

Loretta

I hope you don’t mind the wild colors of the example, but it was truly ‘play time’ with the new markers. I am just so impressed.

I’d love to earn a copic certification! That would just be too much fun!

Blog candy, you will (so far) receive the box purse from the earlier post. Now that purse will be filled with goodies, I’m not going to give them all away, but there will be stamped cards, a chocolate bar (dark or special dark of your choice — wrapped of course). I will also include a butterfly pin!

How do you like my new blog look? Ain’t it grand! I’m really enjoying it. Now if I can only get a handle of getting the watermark where it belongs. Trial and error baby!

As I master my copic’s I’ll post more on them and how I feel the colors work together.

Thanks for visiting, see you tomorrow. More Proverbs 31 woman on Thrusday as well!

Many Blessings,

Loretta R.

Oh my!

The copic markers arrived today while I was at Bible Study. My son Craig (ladies he is 19, good looking and single) signed for the package.

I opened it and am oohing and ahhhing over the great colors. I can’t wait to try them out! Which once I finish posting this entry will happen tonight!

I’m doing a round of devine secret sisters on split coast stampers, I am having an awesome round, both my big and little sisters are awesome. I just love receiving great goodies and sending them out as well.

I need to vacuum tomorrow. Hey I’m taking volunteers if any one out there is interested…. Just kidding (well maybe not so much…) I hate vacuuming. I’d rather scrub toilest than vacuum or go to the commissary (it is the military equalivant of a grocery store).

I bought the new ‘a clean houes is a sign of a lazy stamper’ from Hanna stamps a while back, I need to make a card or plaque for my craft area.

My mom enjoyed her birthday and was very surprised to receive flowers. I am glad she had a great day!

Isn’t this a great picture! Can you believe an eleven year old girl took it? My niece took this picture of my mom (Aka me-maw) outside of Hillcrest Baptist Church School in Augusta, Georgia.

Today my mother is celebrating her 73rd birthday! Yeah Mom! Don’t worry I sent her separate Mother’s day and Birthday gifts!

For mother’s day it was all handmade , a few cards, a butterfly pin, some book marks and a few pices of candy. She loved it. For her birthday, I sent a seprate card and had the local florest to send her some flowers to her home this morning.

With the start of blog candy, as you know I will enclose one of the purses on a previous post. My first blog candy offering will be a clear set of stamps from Stampedous, called SC063, Retro Border.

Leave comments any where on the blog, between now and June 15th. If you have won blog candy in the last 4 months you will not be eligible to win again for 4 months. Also, no candy outside the U.S. due to the increases in postal costs. I am still waiting for some of my overseas buddies I will send you a card.

A short Proverbs 31 lesson: Verse 20. She extends her hand to the poor,And she stretches out her hands to the needy. She is compassionate and generous. She helps provide for those who can not otherwise provide for themselves. She is alot like my mom, busy in the kitchen making biscuits for our Rainbow Girl fellowships, or providing for girls who would otherwise not have appropriate clothing for our meetings.

She is not afraid to reach out and touch, her compassion shows not only in her actions but on her face which glows with the love of Christ.

As you can see my blog is channging. If you want to know ‘how’d you do that’. I didn’t. Please email MaryDawn at: MyPinkMexico@gmail.com. Let her know ‘Loretta’ sent you. She is awesome. She walks you through everything and then takes off and sets stuff up. Her prices are VERY reasonable considering every thing you’ll get for the money. If that isn’t enough, she even accepts PayPal .

Even my photos will have watermarks!

Happy Stamping!
