Like Moo!

Recently I was invited to join in on a Penny Black I often purchase these stamps from Addicted to Rubber stamps. Click here for their website.

The larger of the two cards measures in at 5 1/2″ square. I love the larger size since it gives a little more opportunity for embellishment. I think it still needs a small flower or maybe some dew drops. I haven’t decided which one as of yet.

This next week I may not be blogging very much. My oldest son is leaving for Airforce Basic Training on Tuesday and I am actually looking foward to it. It will be difficult to have him out of our ‘nest’ but I also know that it is very important for him to transition into adulthood and be the best man he can be. I am very proud of him.

Today has been nice and quiet. As you can see I did accomplish some stamping. I created 6 each of the cards above and also completed the last four Birthday Random Acts of kindness cards today.

I even finished off the laundry!

I hope every one has a wonderful evening.

Stamp Happy!

Christmas Card Swap 2008

Hello Friends!

The cards above are from the Christmas/Holiday card swap I hosted on my yahoo group. Don’t you think all of the cards are just lovely! For those of you reading my blog and have participated in this swap, they will go postal tomorrow.

Hubby had a check up today, it went very well. I am always worried about him, now I know other than like me — needing to loose a few pounds, he is healthy! Thank God!

AC Moore has their sizzix dies for 50% off and Joann’s has the sizzix dies for 40% off for those who have the need to know. Our big Joann’s in Columbia, Maryland has a great selection! They both have the Cricut cartridges for $39.99 both stores with a fantastic selection! Now if the Cricut expressions would just come down in price. I love my regular Cricut, but can imagine all the new possibilities that open up with the larger machine!

For those of you who are asking about blog candy. You may leave a comment anywhere in the blog, all the way to the beginning, I go by the date the comment is posted. This date range is from November 13 until December 13, so post away and enjoy all the goodies I have!

Have a stamp happy night!

A little more blog candy!

Happy Saturday everyone!

We put our Christmas tree and interior lights up today! Hopefully we’ll get the outdoor lights up this next week.

We are gonna have some wintery nasty weather tomorrow and I’m glad at least we have the tree up. We are so excited to have out little buttercup with us, hopefully we can get a picture of all three dogs in front of the tree this year.

Hey where did I put those darn extention cords anyway?!

As you can see up for blog candy now is a set of inkadinkado Christmas stamps. This is added to the tin and Christmas ornament. Remember I’ll draw blog candy probally the 13th or so of December in anticipation and celebration of my 44th birthday!

Made a quick shopping trip to AC Moore today and picked up a few sizzix dies for 50% off! I was inpressed with the selection still available even after black Friday.

No, I’m not really brave on black Friday. More than a few years ago, I broke my leg on black Friday and it has never been the same. So I don’t press any bad karma and stay close to home. My sweet husband swears I should just stay in bed to be on the safe side.

I did venture to Michael’s for a few things but that is about it.

I hope every one has a good evening. Blog you later!

The Friday after!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Friday! I just induced a new turkey coma by having left overs a few minutes ago. Darn they where delicious!

I’m posting a few Thanksgiving pictures from yesterday. I decided to wind down a bit before we ate our meal and took out my violin. Since I ‘blog’ about it so much I decided to have Craig (my oldest son) take a picture of me while I was playing. Normally I do not sit in the reclyner to play, but the grape background made for a lovely picture!

I also decided to take some pictures of the table. The china is Franciscian Desert rose and I have been collecting it since I was 18 years old. My husband is the total enabler here and has picked up some beautiful and unusual pieces to add to my massive collection. Honestly, I could feed a battalion of soldiers with these dishes!

My table setting was simple and I used the turkey place cards. The place cards where a big hit!

Adding to blog candy today, I’ll send along one of the finished ornaments for you to enjoy!

Have a great holiday weekend! Stamp happy!

A blogger award!

I received a blogger award from Martha!

Here are my nominees;

Thank you so much Martha for the really great and neat award! It is an honor!

I hope everyone is enjoying their day. Chad’s braces came off today! Yipee! His mouth is a bit sore and irritated, but he teeth look fantastic!

Here are some pictures for you. First off the picture to the far left is my early Birthday present. It is a beautiful Seiko watch Mike picked up for me at the local jewelry store. I am thrilled.

The next photos are pictures of the ornaments I made yesterday. All together I have made 36 total. With a tragic incident three of them were broken. All that work, at least I saved the stamped portion and can easily remake the ones that were lost.

I took eight of these ornaments with me to the orthodontist office today, the girls and Dr. Heller really enjoyed them. The receiptionist couldn’t believe that these where not ‘store’ bought. They really enjoyed receiving them.

Trying to get the last minute arrangements together for Turkey day. We are so excited to have Mike’s two kids join us for lunch along with a family friend. I will try and take alot of pictures and post to the blog on Friday. Blog candy will be added too on Friday as well, so please keep those great comments and the encouragement up. I need all I can get.

For those who are asking about Melissa (my niece) there is still no word from Georgia. Just continue to pray for our family!

Here is a picture of the goodies I received from this round of secret sisters on Splitcoaststampers. How much fun are these!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
