Swan Lake

This is a stamp set that I got as a prize patrol when I was at On Stage on November.  I honestly don't think it would have been a set that I would have chosen for my first order.....but it is cute!  And I had fun playing with it here.

This is one of the shoe box swaps that I created for everyone joining me for my Iowa Inker's Team Meeting on Saturday!  They all made it!  We all had a great day of stamping together!  I'll share some of my other shoe box swaps throughout this week, so be sure to stop back by.

If you look closely at the water & the dragonflies, I actually picked up the Marina Mist ink (from squishing my ink pad lid) with the Clear Wink of Stella Pen.  It made it lighter & really sparkly!  It is stunning in person!

Our day starts in the dark & super early this morning.  We'll head out at 4:00 a.m., mark, sort & then load a semi of hogs.  Deke will chore & then head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  I'll come in & shower & head in to pick up all of my boys.  I'll get the twins to pre-school & spend the rest of my day with Trey & Masen.  Tonight when the boys go home I'll be headed back out to be a farmer again, helping Deke move pigs.  

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!
