Creatures, Friendship, Winter

Another winter friend card this morning.  Love the yellow and blue.

Stamps Used:  D259 Chill of Winter, E259 KB’s Penguin Lg; EE36 KB’s Fox.

It’s Friday! How awesome is that?!  We are looking forward to a weekend off and just doing projects around the house.  We have a floor in the mudroom that we need to grout and knobs to put on.  The next project is taking out some cabinets in the kitchen.  That might be too big of a project for this weekend.  And of course, the Green Bay Packers play the Seattle Seahawks this weekend so Go Pack GO!  Have a great weekend.

chill of winter

I really do love winter!  Especially when it is at least 25 degrees outside…I like that much better than below freezing 🙂  I love this winter card with the little red cardinal.

Stamps Used:  A240 KB’s Arrow Snowflake, BB57 KB’s Cardinal sm, D259 Chill of Winter, EE42 KB’s Heart Button Snowman, med.  The snowflake is a pattern from the Brother Scan N Cut !

Looking forward to 30 degree weather this weekend!

You are Cool!

What a cool card?  So much fun…brand new stamps!  I’ve had them a couple of days but too busy with orders to touch them.  I finally got all the orders out today so I could touch the new stamps 🙂

I found a new cool product…I wasn’t sure about it but I really like it.  It’s called Stick It.  It is a sheet of double sided tape that is made for dies.  You put it on the paper, then cut the paper, and then position the cut die very easily.  A little hard to explain.  It is re-positionable to begin with then become permanent which is a great feature.  I should be able to demo it in Grapevine and at the shows this year.  I was able to apply these little glasses very easily with it.  We will also be carrying a new brand (to us)  called Taylored Expressions in the booth this year.  We are carrying their embossing folders and a few of the dies.

Monday Morning!

We have to make our own snow for Christmas!  It’s raining!  Yesterday was the first day of Winter but the long johns have come off and we have no snow.  We got some things done this weekend.  Well, not a lot but we did manage to tile the mudroom.  So now we just need to get it grouted before all our company comes 🙂

Love the colors of this snowman card!  Stamps Used:  EE42 KB’s Snowman Looking Up Med, F228 Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Have a great Monday!

It’s Friday!

We will be making stamps today.  We are close to being completely done with displays and I really want all the stamps for Grapevine done before all my company comes next week so I don’t have to worry about them.   Exciting days ahead 🙂

Enjoy your weekend!

Be Merry!

Good Morning!  It’s Friday!  Exciting! Easy to be merry on a Friday!

We are finishing up on our cling mount displays today.  Kevin has been peeling up the floor in the mudroom to get ready for tiling it…maybe tomorrow 🙂

Have a funny story to tell you about Kevin 🙂  He was cutting the peg board in half for the displays and he says to me…”this one is a little crooked ”  So I say “why is it crooked?”  He’s says “well, I shut my eyes.”  My reply “YOU WHAT!??”  Seriously why would you shut your eyes while cutting with a saw 🙂  Apparently he didn’t put goggles on and the sawdust was flying.  Lucky he still has all his fingers.

Enjoy your weekend!

Beautiful but Cold!

warm winter wishes

Our weather is sunny and nice but VERY cold!  My shower this morning was pretty luke warm.  Our bathroom is the farthest room from the water heater and when it is really cold the water just never gets too warm.  There are worse things in life than a warm shower! 🙂 so not complaining just observing 🙂

We have been working on our displays and new stamps…very exciting!

Karissa send me this card and I love how the brother machine cuts out the snowman…so precise and nice.  Remember that brother is offering a $50 gift card for purchasing a machine until Saturday the 13th!  I also like how Karissa used the Warm Winter Wishes by 2nd & 3rd generation stamping.  Stamps Used:  EE47 KB’s Ear Muff Snowman, Lg; C186 Warm Winter Wishes

A customer has asked me to post about a little girl who has at best a year to live.  Her grandmother has asked people to send  holiday cards to her.  My customer ran across the article in her local newspaper.  Here is the address:

It’s almost Friday!! 🙂 🙂

Lots of Snowflakes!

Good Friday to You!  So happy it’s Friday…so many possibilities of things to do this weekend 🙂

We got a little dusting of snow yesterday…makes everything look fresh and new 🙂  We are headed out to the shop to put in a few hours of work.

We ordered some new displays for the cling mounted stamps.  Our current set up and tear down for the displays  is pretty time consuming.  We are hoping this new set up will be quick and easy.  I can always dream 🙂  We spent a lot of time yesterday planning and configuring the new set up.  Hope it works.

Stamps Used:  E260 Taste Snowflakes, GG28 KB’s Snowman, C171 KB’s Snowflake Med.

One more day and it’s Friday!

Winter Fun
