It’s Friday!  We are hoping to have the carts done today. ugh! We are just getting to the shop though…I went to the grocery store, made sugar cookies , made chocolate chip cookies, and washed the living room windows. I do feel like I accomplished something today. We have been washing one set of windows everyday since it’s an awful job that just needs to be done.   One set left downstairs and then we move upstairs.  They look so nice clean. 😊

Stamps Used:  BB60 KB’s Butterflies; C148 Thinking of You Royal; FF35 Etching Boxes;   GG35 KB’s Primrose, LG

so yesterday was a little crazy for us!  We finally arrived home from Novi, MI around 2:30 in the morning. Usually I sleep but because of the HUGE thunderstorms that went across the Midwest, Kevin needed me to stay awake to keep checking the radar. It was chasing us as we left MI and then we finally ran into it as we came back around the lake in Chicago. It was pretty ferocious!  The lightening was amazing but I would really rather not be driving in it with a really big RV!

Then I had to be up by 7 am to get my orders for accessories in only to be told they are so far behind right not that I have no hope of receiving my order for the Stampaway show this weekend. Such is life- should have stayed in bed 😊

Our day is looking spectacular here in Wi today. Looking forward to sunshine…not that we will see much of it as we get things together for the Collinsville show.

I love polka dots ! The glasses on today’s card are from the brother machine and cut out of glitter paper.   Stamp Used: E264 (spec) tacular day!

Enjoy your day!

It’s Friday!

Good Evening! We continue to make stamps and work on the house.  Same old stuff!

We are hoping to take the weekend off of stamp making and work on the projects around the house.  We purchased a toilet and sink to replace the old ones. I want to get all the crown molding up in the dining room & powder bath. I would like to spray paint an old fan silver. It is currently gold. if it looks good then it won’t need to be replaced. And I would like to get the mudroom painted! It’s a pretty long list but I think we can do it 🙂

The fireworks are booming tonight!  Have a great 4th of July.

I’m liking the long daisy. It is a new stamp. I like its versatility.  Stamps Used in today’s card:  C283 need a hug?; Cc73 Double Grass (I’m loving this new stamp too!); EE56 KB’s Long Daisy, lg; C95 Flowers to cheer

Thankful for our freedom!

We’ve accomplished a lot today !  We have all the convention “pulled” that means all the stamps we are going to make have had their ticket pulled. The ticket tells us all the information we need to make the stamp.  We have vulcanized 1/2 of them. We still have a long way to go but I see lots of progress.

Kevin and Bruce (a friend of ours) have continued to build in the pantry/mudroom. I have to say it is coming out better than I could have imagined!! I have been admiring those barn doors on Pintrest and I’m getting one in the pantry/mudroom. so excited. I will post pictures when done 🙂

I made today’s card for a friend of mine that needs a little love sent her way!  Stamps Used: D300 Sending Love; EE56 KB’s Tall Daisy Lg; F196 Wishing Love.

The Long Weekend is about here!

Heading Home!

Good Morning!  We are headed home today from West Springfield, MA where we had a fabulous time. Fun to see regulars…Nancy, Pat, Claudia, Helen, and so many more!  A super BIG thank you to Susan for helping with the Make n Takes !  She was a great help!

Today brings a simple card using our new stamps!  I’m hoping to get them on the website soon!

We only have one other show this month in Minneapolis, MN which is my home town.  I have a nephew graduating from high school Father’s day weekend.  Between his graduation and the Minneapolis show I’m going to paint my Mom and Dad’s kitchen cabinets. I love to paint!

Birthday, Father's Day, Friendship, Hello, Just a Note, Winter
