I hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday. It is beautiful here in Maryland. Even though the thermometer says it is 86* it doesn’t feel that hot. It is very pleasant.
***
I’ve had the doors and windows open in our home all day. I’m hoping for a repeat tomorrow since I am having our carpets steam cleaned.

I love split coast stampers, I have been participating in a secret sister swap for the last three months, and these are some of the things my secret sister will receive.

I hope every one enjoys a beautiful day filled with blessings and sunshine!

Stamp Happy!

blog candy:

Hello Stampers!

**

I actually started blog candy a few days ago, but haven’t had many responses, so I’ve decided to give you a list of this months blog candy (from June 28 until July 31).

On to today’s post!

The paper storage is here! The UPS guy arrived at about 3:00 pm local time. He had eight (yup 8) boxes with him. Five sets of 12X12″paper storage and three sets of 8 1/2 X 11″ paper storage.

***

No I did not take pictures of the before or in progress, it was just too messy in here. I also did not allow visitors into my space this last week during the cleaning and purging process.

***

It is awesome to be finished! It too all day to complete. By the time my friend Chris came over to visit, I had not only finished but had vacuumed the floors!

*****

I am so glad to have this space for my ‘dream’ area. If we ever put an addition to our home, I’ll request my own dedicated space with its own door, no men (unless they stamp) allowed!

*****

Now that I’m finished I’ll be blog posting more.

Stamp happy and blog at you guys later!

For those who are asking, Craig is driving currently to his new duty station at Keesler,AFB in Mississippi when we spoke with him earlier today he should be arriving around 5:00 pm. We titled his Honda over to him so it is now his ‘baby’. He is actually enjoying the drive. It is his first long trip alone. (Except for all the calls from his parents).

I realized the other day that Chad actually made the honor roll EVERY reporting period last year. Chad was diagnosed with ADHD/hyperactivity as a small child and has had an individualized education program guide to help with some developmental delays. When Mike and I first married Chad’s vocabulary was about 12 words.

Fast forward eight years and with the help of educators, and parents Chad is on grade level with excellent grades and testing appropriately for his educational levels. He is looking forward to beginning high school this fall. This week he is enjoying a summer camp at the local college, my geek is taking gaming strategy for chess, backgammon and other board games.

I hope you are all well, I’ll probably be caught up from our recent trip soon and should be able to get some much needed stamp time in.

Stamp Happy!
