Coffee, Friendship, Hello

Well, I have two load of laundry in baskets to put away (well, technically three if you count the sheets that are washed and dried and stuffed in a basket !) and a sink full of dirty dishes!  But the truck is loaded and packed and ready for Madison! whew!  I thought I would blog tonight and set for publication in the morning since we plan to leave by 6 am!  Yep, leave not get up 🙂

I just had to blog these cups that Karissa did because I think they are so cute.  I love the creative way that she colored the cups and the stamps.  Way Cute!  Hope to see you all in Madison.  You can tell Karissa is using her brother scan n cut by the way the butterflies and bird have been cut out.  Don’t forget the special Black Friday Special from brother.

Brother Black Friday!

We had a good day travel yesterday.  The gas prices are nice!  The lowest they have been in four years.  If it wasn’t for the 30 mph wind that we were headed straight into we might have noticed a savings 🙂  We made it to Des Moines, IA last night at 8 pm and woke at 6 am  and having a nice lazy morning before heading out.

This world die cut is from…what else but the brother scanncut!   Stamps Used:  F235 Triple Banner Flag, E271 Brighten World.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

so I was so busy yesterday I forgot to blog!  I thought about it several times but Kevin and I were working on the website and it got kind of  involved!  We made a lot of progress but have a ways to go.  One thing about websites and technology is that things often change fast.  We put a lot of time into the website a few years ago and now with all the smart phones and tablets we need to update the software and so that means a lot more hours spent on it.  Being stuck in a hotel sorta forces us to work on it 🙂 otherwise it’s easy to ignore.

Another easy watercolor swipe card.  I used both a yellow and a black pencil but was afraid the black would over power so made that mark small.  Stamps Used:  EE19 KB’s Bees Lg, and D193 Beecause I care.

Rainbows!

This week’s cards all have been watercolored with stripes in the background for a quick easy card.  Stamps Used:  G275 Life gives Clouds, H114 KB’s rainbow Lg

Here’s to a great week!

Good Morning!  It’s been a crazy week!  We are trying to get ready for the Colorado show and then to leave for a few days without thinking about work.  We leave this afternoon for our annual church convention and we will not think about working at all.  And it takes a little bit of work to arrange it all!

I have been wanting to try little index cards for some time now and they are so fun, so quick, and so easy!

Enjoy!

I hope you had a one-of-a-kind day!  Mine flew way too fast.

Todays card comes from Kathy in SC!  Love it! I love the lily of the valley stamp in any way, shape, or form.  I never thought to use the one of a kind stamp on the outside of a card but it’s great. I also love getting cards in the mail.  There is something so special about it.  Just the effort and the thought make it special.  It is such a great way to send a “pick me up” to someone.  I think that is one of the great side benefits to this rubber stamping hobby.

Well it’s off to bed so I can get up early.  The floor is coming along nicely, the stamps are getting made but my house is a MESS!  Need to do something about that…I can only take chaos so long 🙂

Stampaway!

Creatures, Friendship

great day1

Wishing everyone a great day today!

We are here in Sharonville,  OH getting ready for Stampaway.  We had an awesome group in my class yesterday.  We are going to go and finish setting up this morning and then the show starts this evening.  It was really nice to get mostly set up yesterday before my class and now just some finishing touches to do in the booth.

Here’s a card to go with the cup we posted last week!

Sooooooo we are off again!  Leaving today at noon for the last leg of this journey!  I admit it!  I am weary!  🙂

Have a last few stamps to make this morning but we are mostly packed!  I don’t really unpack.  I wash the clothes and just put them back in the suitcase.  So they went back in the suitcase this morning and the suitcase went back into the truck…Looking forward to Cincinnati!

All Starts Over Again!

Well, we are back from Minneapolis where we had a  GREAT time and the fun just continues…We leave Thursday for Collinsville, IL so just three days to make stamps.  We are going to be busy little beavers…now if we could get some our nephews to mow grass…that would help 🙂  Here is a great card from Karissa
