a simple valentine’s day card this morning…The circle is actually punched out and the top layer is  3D popped out!  I feel really bad because during the show in GA someone asked me where this XO stamp was and and went to show them and someone else asked me something and I forgot the XO person and then I couldn’t find her 😦 hate when that happens!  So I apologize to anyone I didn’t get a chance to help.

Stamps Used:  B244 KB’s XO; B186 Happy Valentine’s Day Rad

We are in Clearwater, FL waiting for the show this weekend.  The weather has been odd; We had crazy FOG last night.  You could barely see a few feet in front of your face.  But it was warm so I’m not complaining.  We hope to go out and loaf on the beach this afternoon.  Kevin took the truck in for routine maintenance.  I’ve been working on the website and orders and soon we’ll relax!

 

we are sending love to everyone here in Lawrenceville,  GA.

 A GREAT big THANK YOU to Jaimie for helping me with Make n  Takes.  Couldn’t have done it without her!

We are off bright and early this morning!  Kevin asked one of my favorite customers (I’m really bad with names!) about the Atlanta commute and he decided we better get out of the city before breakfast so we are off!

I’m so sorry Jackie about your Denver Bronco loss!  🙂

We had a awesome time here!  We thank you.  Also my students in both of my classes were terrific. A special Thank You to Cathy for my socks and treats!  You guys really make being on the road fun!  Kevin and I are truly home bodies but I would really miss all of you guys if we didn’t go on the road!  Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday to You all!  so happy it’s Friday!  Glad for a couple days off from the stamping world.  While home, we try really hard not to work on the weekends.  I know that it is hard to imagine but when your work lives with you sometimes it’s hard to turn off!  There is always more that can be done and sometimes you just have to stop. 🙂 I have a little trouble with that.

For those of you who have been wondering about the Triple Circle Flip die that is like The Paper Cut Triple Circle Z Fold card…mine has finally arrived.  It is VERY different!  VERY small!  It’s cute but I really feel like it doesn’t compare to the cards.  One reason I was disappointed in it,  was that there is really no place to put an inside saying.  Most everything is seen from the front of the card.  It was a little pricey at $29.99 but comes with lots of little things to cut out.  I much prefer to punch out three little circles that have to put things through the die cutting machine three times.  But it is really fun to play with and cute.  We will have a few for sale at the Lawrencville, GA show coming up in a few weeks.

 

Good Morning!  Our morning has started out with Kevin taking my niece and nephew to school bright and early so we are up and at it early!  I really like getting up early.  Kevin likes to stay up late and get up late and so I’ve kind of become that but I really like going to bed early and getting up early!

I should have taken this card out of the sleeve before I took the picture but as I say “it is what it is”…:) I’m looking forward to this weekend when I can get back in the studio for some stamping!  My laundry is getting caught up.  I’m not sure why I was so behind but I think it was because of all the company at Christmas.  I have the guest rooms all back together with sheets washed and beds made again so I’m hoping my weekend will be for fun.  Well, the orders await…I am taking a lunch break with my friend, Marilyn, to a pizza place called Cranky Pat’s so I best get to work!

this is one of our new cards on the booth displays!  It so cute in real life.  The circles are actually cut outs which add depth to the card.  Very Cute!

a BIG thank you to Grapevine, TX for making another great show for us!  a HUGE thank you to Andretta and Eden for helping me in the booth!  the long under wear are back on and we are headed back to cold country.  Weather doesn’t look too bad for Tuesday- just 21 degrees and 14 degrees for Wednesday.  I can handle that!  really liked the 70 degrees in Texas.   Have a great Monday!
