This morning we're off early to chore & we get more baby piggies.  The boys will be here later today too.  Then tonight we sell fat hogs- so pretty much I'll be a farmer all day today & we'll have little boys helping us!

I hope you have a very special day!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was a long day!!  We were up early & out with boys & pigs for the morning.  Then Brayden had basketball camp.  And we were headed to his game last night when he got sick.  Pool little guy. Hope he is better soon. 

So Deke & I went to to town to vote last night & then stopped by Manda & Steve's for awhile.  Deke helped Steve do some work in their back yard, as they are getting ready to pour some cement tomorrow.  We got home for a late supper & then I worked on finalizing orders & working on SU! things.  

This morning Deke is off early to chore & head to Mt Pleasant for the day for meetings.  I think I have all of the boys again today.  Hopefully Brayden is feeling better.  Tonight we'll all be going to Osky to the races to cheer on Nathan!  I am hoping he has good luck tonight!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL DAY!
Happy Stamping!

I thought I was going to be home alone yesterday.  Laughing....I should have known better.  Manda was sick & went to the dr so their 3 boys were here for awhile in the morning.  Then I had to go pick up Bradyen from Basketball Camp.  And take him back to town for Baseball Practice.  And then he & Nathan were here last night working in the shop.   We love our boys though & we are blessed that we get to see them & are able to help out.
Here is a photo of the 3 boys playing down in front yard yesterday morning!  We are blessed to have a huge yard!  And Mother Nature blessed us with a beautiful day too!

We have a BUSY day ahead of us for today!  I'm headed in to get the 2 Wood boys (Brayden & Masen).  And they'll be spending the day with us.  The boys & I are headed out to the farm for the morning to help.  We get new baby piggies today- so the boys & I will be helping Deke.  Brayden is super excited as he misses out on lots of farm things when school is on.  This afternoon I'll be running him into his Basketball Camp.

Tonight when the boys go home I will be burning the midnight oil  working on Stamping stuff!! 

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday was another FUN day full of stamping!!  It started out being busy with Mr. Masen.  Nathan & Sarah got here to pick him up & I then finished cutting my last card & packing things up to head out the door.

We all had a great day with Deb as our hostess this month.  I enjoyed getting to see everyone & share!  When I got home last night Deke & I went to a friends (Julie Davis) visitation.  She lost her long battle with cancer too.  It was so very sad.  It was late when we got home & I was beat so called it a night. 

This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the courthouse for his weekly meeting.  He'll be home for a late lunch, chore again & gone all evening to another meeting in Fairfield.

I "think" I'm home alone today.  Masen is suppose to be going to his other Grandma's.  So I'll be trying to catch up on farm bookwork & then SU! things.  I hope to get alot on my long list of "things to do" checked off. 

Wishing you all a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

NEW- 'Touches of Texture'

Check out this cute card!  It is made using a new stamp set called- 'Touches of Texture'!  Isn't is pretty!  The words come from the stamp  set- 'One Big Meaning'.  This was one of the stamp sets we got for our make & takes on the cruise last week. 

And this is one of the stamp sets that I'll be using at my New Catalog "BASH"!  
 ++++++++
Yesterday morning Masen was here bright & early.  He isn't use to be the only one here.  He thought G'ma had to entertain him, thus I didn't get much done.  Manda kept him for a couple of hours while Deke & I attended Judy's funeral.  It was a very nice service, as Pastor Vince Homan added many special touches to Judy's life tribute.  He talked about how stamping is more than just making cards......that it is were friends gather & share their talents, lives, etc.  I so wish I could have recorded him & got his exact wording.  It was just perfect in how I feel about sharing my love of stamping with all!  And it was awesome that he understood how fond Judy was of stamping & how she enjoyed spending time with all that were at stamp classes with her.  I still can't believe that she is gone.  I talked to her daily & got numerous text messages from her each day & so not getting these has been greatly missed.  I'm just so thankful that she isn't suffering any more though. 

Last night after Masen left I burnt the midnight oil catching up on sorting orders, writing out order forms & working on stamping stuff!

This morning I'm up early to get some things done before the boys all get here.  Tonight is my farmer night & I'll head out to help Deke on the farm when the boys go home.  When I get in from helping Deke, I'll be burning the midnight oil stamping!  Deke is home to work on the farm today.  He will be moving piggies from the nursery to the finisher & then hopefully get the nursery all powerwashed.

Gotta run......
I hope you have a very special Thursday!
Happy Stamping!

Our boys were all happy to spend the day together yesterday.  It was nice & we got to play outside for
 awhile.   We sure missed them all being here.  Even Brayden was here for a little while yesterday morning. 

Last night I went to Judy's visitation & then to Brayden's ball game in Parnell.  When we got home I worked on getting laundry finished up & all of it put away.

This morning Deke is off early to chore & head to the courthouse for the morning.  I'm up early to get some things done before Masen gets here.  Manda's last day of school was yesterday, so I'll just have their boys on & off the next 2 months.  Manda is going to keep Masen for me this afternoon, as we are going to Judy's funeral & my demonstrator friend Lynda is coming to go with Deke & me.  Tonight I hope to get caught up on my piles of mail & boxes of stamps that came while we were gone.   It is amazing how much stuff there is. 

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!
Happy Stamping!
