Here is a Christmas easel card!

Good morning!
This is an easel card I made for my Fall STYC.

It is created using the 'Snowy Day' stamp set.

 (I will update this post sometime soon with the supply list.)

Wow.....yesterday was a Monday!
The boys were excited to come see us & we were happy to have them here.

Papa had meetings all morning & then worked on the farm all afternoon/evening.

It was a challenging afternoon, as Brody wouldn't nap!

They started sleeping in big beds over the weekend (not their cribs).

I put them in their cribs & there was no way he was staying there.

So after fighting with him over 1 1/2 hours- he just got to go play.

But then we woke up his brother.

 So last night when Papa got in, he helped me take apart their cribs & put them in the garage.

And we put up a big bed.

So we'll see how nap time goes today!

 Brody was tired last night.....he feel asleep eating his supper.

I am anxious to hear from Manda how he slept during the night last night.

Nathan, Deke, Josh & Mark worked in the shop last night on the new race car.
They started with just a bare frame and it actually is beginning to look like a race car now.
It is awesome that Brayden's other Papa Mark is such a good welder & is always here to help out Nathan & support him racing.

So while the guys worked- Brayden got to hang out with me!
We visited the shop, took the twins home, went to the store, made supper, read books & played with his farm!

Tonight I'm a farmer helping Deke on our farm selling hogs.

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

A 'Merry' Christmas!

Good morning!
Here is another card that we did at my Fall STYC.

I saw a card similar to this on demonstrator friend Amy Storrie's blog right after the Holiday Catalog was released.

I loved the negative/reverse image of it using the Merry Expressions Thinlit.

I'm off soon to Pat's workshop!

I can't wait to spend my afternoon stamping with everyone joining us.

A perfect punch art pumpkin!

Good morning!
Happy Halloween!!!

I am so "thankful" for alot in my life.
I treasure all of those that I met over the years that have stamped with me.
And I'm especially thankful for all of my dear demonstrator friends that I have met over the years too.

Sherri Peters is one of those special friends & the creator of this awesome card!

I CASED this for one of my STYC cards last weekend.

This card was a HUGE hit as one of the favorites of many of my stampers!

Sherri is very sweet & so talented & I'd call her a punch art queen.

I met her a few years ago on one of our incentive trips.

On our trip to Fiji in May Deke & I spent quite abit of time with her & her husband Mike &

 then I hung out with Sherri at Founders in September too. 

This awesome card is her Founders swap! 

cs:  Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
ink:  Pumpkin Pie (sponged around the edges of the ovals)
supplies:  Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Pretty Prints embossing folder, Modern Label punch, Extra Large Oval punch, sponge, White Twine, Scoring Tool, dimensionals

When it rains it pours.......yesterday was not the best of days.
It seemed that everything we did around here was wrong.

My repair man did get the part for my frig & put it on- so that is now fixed.
We got some errands ran & got drenched from the rain.
I got Drakes hair cut- (now to get Brody's done).
I got the rest of our Oak trim sanded, stained & varnished for Makenzy to come finish putting on-
he hopes to come next Tuesday!
And I spent several hours last night catching up on bookwork- SU!, personal & farm.

Tonight is Trick-or- Treat night & I need to get the boys treats finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing them in their costumes.

It is a new day & I'm hoping that the sun shines & things are good around here.

Wishing you a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween this Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

It was a late night selling hogs last night.

Our poor trucker (Jerry) had had a long last 2 days on the road. 

He was tired & hungry & I was worried about him.

So after we loaded hogs I came in & made him a plate for his supper & took it to town to the sale barn where he was still loading hogs.

I had a pork roast in the oven for us, so he got that with all of the fixing to go along with it to eat too.

His smile when I gave it to him was priceless, so I know he really appreciated it.

Deke has meetings all day today.

The boys & I are going to run some errands.

Tonight I have to work in my stamp room & get STYC things put away so I can start working on cards for this Sunday's class I have.

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