Orange you glad for Orange?!

Just a quick Sunday Post!

It is a rainy colder Sunday than we have here in Southern Maryland in a while. We need and are thankful for this rain. Our yard is in full bloom.

We have a Camilla bush that we have transplanted three times since we purchased it over 5 years ago. This precious bush hasn’t done well at all. The last time Mike moved it was last spring, and this year, she has more than a dozen beautiful pink blossoms. So pretty.

One last project for Deb’s box. I have been collecting some things for several weeks to send off. The box is 20″ X 10″X10″. It weighs about 25 pounds. I might have gotten a bit carried away with this one.

I hope you have a quiet day filled with things you love to do and create. Stamp happy be a blessing!

Swaps received and projects

Hi Friends!

It is the weekend! Don’t you just love down time to play?! I sure do.

I found this adorable butterfly mini basket at my local craft store, it was $1.00 and I had to have it. I used it for my sew crafty April swap. I’ve made two pin cushions one from a box and the other above.

I received my wonderful swap from Vanessa today as well. She sent along some really fun crafty stuff as well.

Sorry about the visual clutter around Lexie, but she had come over to check out what mom was munching on and I couldn’t help but take a picture of our sweet little lady.

My sweet hubby Michael has been working in our yard and getting our planting beds ready. We are expecting some bad weather this weekend and colder, I hope it dosn’t affect our veggies.

I am hoping to keep a garden journal with pictures this year. We’ll see how it goes, I often set my mind to such things and they fall to the way side because of unforseen circumstances.

Have a great weekend, Stamp Happy, be a blessing!

Enjoy the video slide show!

Enabler Alert!! Divine twine, stamps, and more!!

Isn’t this great??!!

OK it comes in 12 yummy colors. Here is the best part of this, there are 240 yards on a roll. Yup you read that correctly 240 yards. Now that’s what I call baker’s twine. The cost is $15.00 per roll, US.

Washi tape is $5.00 many of them are two for $5.00. They carry stamps, accessories and much more. Prices are way reasonable. Shipping was also reasonable. I had a blast shopping. What made it even better for me was that the site takes pay pal.

What is this magical site?

http://www.cutetape.com/ . I do not get anything for telling you guys about the site, It was actually my sister in law, Deb who sent it to me. I also have great sources for chipboard in bulk — also great prices. Email me directly at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com and I’ll share that information with you.

Don’t forget today is the last day to enter the 400 you tube subbies. Go rate, comment and subscribe; http://www.youtube.com/iwannastamp

I will pray that your self confidence is increased and that you find peace in your life and heart. I have my comments moderated and actually put your weird, mean and odd comment in my spam folder.

This only applies to two to six people. this is just my two cents. Please be kind to one another.

My Favorite things stamp Summer Card

Hi friends!

I must really love the My Favorite things stamps. Click here to go shopping. I even have an outstanding order that I am currently waiting for.

I used this whimsical little girl image for the focal point of the card. The finished card measures 5 1/2″ square. I love the contrast of the patterned paper with the black card stock. The inside of the card was finished using white card base the “happy summer” Sentiment and the same patterned papers I used on the front of the card.

I will be including this adorable card as part of my 400 subbie give away. Don’t forget this will end late tomorrow, so go leave comments on my You Tube channel, or any where on this blog. You can enter as many times in as many places as you wish. Good luck!

Stamp happy be a blessing!

Why I could say “SH*T” and not pay the swear jar —

Here is the finished mini cigar box that will be included with the 400 subbies give away. I am pleased with how it turned out. It only took a few minutes to finish up.

Today, you know one of “those” days. The kind that doesn’t even start off well. First of all I woke up in a bit startled. Not sure what I was even dreaming about. That should have been my first clue to just stay in bed. But, no the diligent wife and mom has stuff to do.

So I toddle down to the kitchen grab breakfast (the home made granola and milk is so good). So far so good. Then I get to the basement and do my big girl business. Disaster, I heard glup.glup.glup. Not a good sign. called the county and waited it wasn’t clogged between the main and our shut off. Great, now I have to try (again) to plunge. No good. For one thing the smell of poo is disgusting, I did say the S*** word several times and don’t feel like I owe that swear jar a cent. Come on — really?

The only great part of my day was a quick run to hobby lobby where I picked up the new spellbinders Springy sprockets. They are huge, hoping they’ll shrink well. Yup me and my shrink plastic.

So now that the plumber has fixed the toilet, I am ready for a nice quiet night un interrupted by any type of crap. Enjoy your evening. Stamp Happy be a blessing.
