Day 3 Secret Sister Swap and Reveal

My wonderful secret sister is Missi. She is such a talented lady. Look at the wonderful goodies I got today. The plastic eggs were packaged in a half an egg carton. Loaded with chocolate, jelly beans, and buttons/brads. Thank you again Missi for 3 wonderful days of great goodies.

Secret Sister Swap, Day Two

Here are the wonderful gifts I received for day two. I did not buy the calendar kit from the Winter Mini and here it is. I can't wait to put it together. I love the ribbon rose, roses are my favorite flowers. I have a special place on my mantle for it so I can look at it everyday. The saying is the Statement of the Heart from Stampin' UP!

Secret Sister Swap

I belong to a wonderful group of stampers. We are in a secret sister swap for Easter. 3 gifts, to be opened today, tomorrow, and Easter Sunday. Here is my first set of gifts. Thank you secret sister.

Welcome new baby

Friends are going to be grandparents for the first time. They are expecting a girl. I made the card casing one I got at Leadership. It was done for a boy so I adapted. The swap did not have a name so if this is yours let me know.

We are going to visit our daughter and son in law for a few days. They bought a new home and I can't wait to see it. I probably won't be posting for a few days.

Recipe swap

I belong to Stampin Addicts, a wonderful group of very talented stampers. The link is on the right side of the blog. We participated in a 6x6 recipe swap and the pictures are in the gallery there. Here is mine. I used the Voila and Voila to Go stamp sets. I used Tangerine Tango cardstock and DSP.

So sorry

I am sorry I haven't posted in (oh my goodness) a month. Most of the projects I've been working on have been for swaps at Stampin'Addicts or for my Peep's gifts. I will get caught up this weekend, except for the gifts, and post pictures. Thank you for sticking around. Jump on over to SA and see the fantastic photo's that are posted there.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in awhile. For our banner class on Saturday, March 7th we are going to make this St.Patrick banner. This is the 5th in our monthly series. Class fee is $25 with a $5 gift certificate towards your next $25 order. RSVP required. See you on the 7th.

Day 3 SA gifts and the Reveal

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Today is the last day of our SA Cupidee gift exchange. I also found out who my cupidee was.......Paula! Such a talented stamper. I love all my gifts. Todays is a wonderful tin box covered with Raspberry Tart paper, and my initial on the front. Inside is more chocolate in red and gold foil.....and a RED STARBUCKS card. Does Paula know me or what. I'll use the card this morning for my favorite coffee....Caramel Machiatto. Thank you Paula so much.

Day 2 SA Cupid gift

Today is day two of our 3 day SA cupidee gifts. Today is the most wonderful little silver pail loaded with pink and red m&m's and paper flowers stuck in the middle. I can't wait to see who she is. This has been so much fun.

Day 1 of the SA Cupidee giving

My SA sistah's from SCS have participated in a Cupid gift giving. Today was day one. Here is my first gift from my secret Cupidee. Isn't it wonderful.

I put the large refill of mist next to it to show you how large the box is. PLUS, it is full of chocolate. Thank you Cupidee!

Just Buzzin' By preview

This is the preview of the Just Buzzin' By class I am offering on Saturday, February 21st. Class fee is $20 with a $5 coupon towards your next $25 order. RSVP required. Call or email today.

Sorry for no posts

Good morning. I am so sorry about the lack of posts for the last several weeks. Life has truly gotten in the way. I've got some cards/projects in the works and will work hard this week to get them photographed and uploaded. My class schedule is posted on my SU website, and I am going to do a DSP paper share. If I get 4 people interested the cost will be $60.63 (which includes shipping and tax). Each person will receive one 12"x 6" piece of EACH of our designer papers. If 8 people are interested, the cost would be $30.31. This will include one 6"X6" piece of each of the designer papers. If you were to order a pack of each of our wonderful papers the total cost would be $242.50. This is a great way to try each paper without the large cost. Please call or email with your wish.

I love having all my supplies at home. I spent the morning with my friend Celia organizing my craft room (actually she did all the work). It looks fantastic. I created the Let It Snow banner for my January banner class. I think it came out very well. The instructions for the banner were from a tutorial Patty Bennett sold.

I cannot believe 2009 is here already. I've been moving my stamp studio into my home this week. I am worn out! Now I need to find a place for everything and do some creating so I can post some pictures. Stay warm and I'll talk to you later.

December 31, 2008 Hello and Welcome

One of my New Years resolutions was to begin a blog. This is it! I will try to keep it up to date at least every week to begin. Please bear with me. This is something new for me and will take me time to get it the way I want it.
