Mike and Loretta Rodger

Mike and I recently attended a wedding in Aberdeen, Virginia. We had a lovely time.

The food was excellent, the decor’ was simple yet elegant and the music, wine and cake also very nice.

I ordered a 5X7″ print of the picture the photographer took of Mike and I. I had this frame in my laundry room, where it has been sitting, getting a bit bashed. I actually liked that it wasn’t perfect. That just adds to the charm of this project. I used my Wild Orchid Craft roses and flowers, the butterflies are stamped, colored trimmed and shrank using Shrinky Dink’s brand shrink film.

I embellished the piece with patterned paper, and bling. The entire project only took me about 2 hours to complete. That was mostly waiting for glue to dry.

Every thing was hot glued in place with a bit of E6000 so that when the piece is dry the flowers and decorations will be permanent.

Have a great day, Stamp happy and be a blessing!

MSR Flower and stick pin swap

This is the first time I have used the Power Director 10 software to create a side show. I’m not sure why the entire song “come to the well” did not come through in one piece. I have so many things to get done this week.

Please stay tuned for a 500 YouTube subby give away, I will also include the MSR Ticket swaps on a video, I am still waiting for a few more swaps to arrive.

If you are local and are interested in purchasing some 12X12 and/or 8 1/2″ X 11″ paper storage, please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com

Our family is still struggling not having our precious Lexie puppy. It is amazing how many accidents have stopped. We know for certain who the problem was now. It is so hard to be without her.

I hope you are all having a good day. School starts for Chad man tomorrow. My SENIOR! Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

Lexie with Snickers Winter 2011

Good bye Lexie

As many of you know Mike and I have been privileged to be the fur parents to three dogs.

Lexie came home Mother’s day weekend in 2001. She was born in March and she died this afternoon. After a long and agonizing set of circumstances we made the joint decision it was no longer fair to allow her to have poor quality of life and she was starting to suffer physical pain from a congenital hip deformity.

She was our first fur baby. Once all three puppies are gone we will be done with fur babies. We love them and will enjoy what ever years we have. It will be no easier to have the other’s put to sleep. Lexie was especially hard.

Mike and I have cried, and still cry over the loss of this angel. We have put her collar on the floor in a common area so the other two can smell it. They keep looking at the door and Snickers keeps looking for her. In her usual haunts, like the puppy bed or by the food dish.

We have chosen to not have her ashes returned to us. We had considered burring her remains in the yard but are afraid that some wild animal would disturb her resting place.

Thank you for your kind comments on face book and those of you who have called we do appreciate everything you do. Keep us in your prayers. Loosing this precious puppy is just so hard.

Much love,

Santa Mini and new FACEBOOK Page!!

Hello everyone!

What a crafty week it has started out to be!

It is so exciting! After popular demand, I have finally set up a face book fan page! Go check it out here! I hope you’ll “like” me and come join in on some fun.

We’ll have: Swaps!Prizes!Ideas!Video’s and much more. Hey with my hubby going forward for deployment, I’ll have a bit of extra time.

My new (redone– again) Stamp/scrap space is almost finished. Once my dear husband cleans off the large table in the basement, it will be taken down and only taken out when I have guests. Freeing up valuable floor space. Even the dog’s bed’s will be some-what re-arranged.

What I’m working on! Oh my am I so very addicted to Smash books. Mine are more Junk journals containing ideas I clipped from old magazines, odds and ends a few projects gone right and a few not so good ones. Opportunity for journaling, keeping up with swaps from my own line group and more.

The new desk is here, together and functioning even BETTER than I had imagined. I am selling off my 12X12 paper storage trays and a few 8 1/2 X 11 ones. They are the sturdy acrylic ones and are simply fantastic for paper storage. After my purge I’m going to sell off the excess!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It will be a very fast one for us, so much to do before Saturday afternoon.

Much love, thank you for your kind words, support and love. Stamp Happy and be a blessing!

happy mail from Bunnie T.

Hi everyone!

I received some awesome happy mail from Bunnie. She was my partner in the altered mousetrap swap on Your Paper Pantry. These are just beautiful. I love all the added special (and small) touches. Thanks Bunnie, you really made my day.

Stay tuned for pictures of my updated stamp room, as a new work tabe will be arriving tomorrow. Time permitting I may just have it all pulled back together by the weekend.

The mouse traps in the second set of photos are the ones I made for Bunnie. I sure hope she likes them. I loved the steam punk one even though as a general rule I’m not a steam punk fan. Her package should go postal tomorrow.

I hope you are all doing well. It is a busy time in my home. We have so many things to do with school being close to beginning again. It is hard to believe my Chad will be a senior this year!

Stamp Happy be a blessing!
