Queen Kat — new date and time!

Clockwork Owl by Hazel Fisher

Hello my crafty friends!

I created the card above using the Clockwork owl by Hazel Fisher. I must admit at first I couldn’t see the potential of this stamp offered by Queen Kat. The stamp will be available on her fantastic web site.

I took a couple of months off to re-group following some personal family problems that emerged. We are all doing well and by the grace of God we will be better because of our current situation.

I am so happy to be part of such a wonderful Design team. The stamps are whimsical and offer themselves to a variety of uses. The owl reminded me of vigilance. A word we don’t see often these days.

Webster’s offers this definition: vig·i·lance /ˈvɪdʒələns/ Show Spelled[vij-uh-luhns]

noun
1. state or quality of being vigilant; watchfulness: Vigilance is required in the event of treachery.

In a time of economic down turn, uncertainty in the world market economy, we must be vigilant, keep watch and be aware.

I hope you all will have a wonderful week. Stamp Happy be a blessing!

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.

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!
