Thank you!

I can not express the joy I feel as I get to share my love of stamping with so many of you-

whether it is monthly, quarterly or yearly.

I treasure our time spent together creating.

 

Thanks to each of you that stamp with me!

You are dear friends & I love sharing my love of stamping with you all!

We are headed out this morning to this years Stampin' Up! trip.

I look forward to sharing some fun new things when I return.

I'll hit the ground running when we get back with lots of events that week.

I look forward to seeing many of you then.

Again....THANK YOU!

Is it the Velveteen Bunny?

Hello!

Remember the Easter card I posted a few weeks ago.

Here is the exact same card, but I'm using a different bunny set, thus making it into a baby card.

I think that this little Velveteen bunny is super cute!

The boys are both feeling better.
Brody had a little fever last night.

Manda is still sick.
I feel so sorry for all of them.

Hoping this flu bug leaves soon & doesn't come to our house.

I took the boys home last night & then delivered stamps.

Deke worked until 11- as he is powerwashing & trying to get things done to be gone.

Nothing like eating supper super late.

Then Susie's Hair Hut was open for business....so he no longer is shaggy.

I'm off to get the boys this morning & will be home all day/night.

I will spend my night making my swaps & packing.

I'll sleep on the plane tomorrow.

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Happy 6th Birthday to Brayden!!!

Oh my gosh......

How in the world can Brayden be 6 years old already!

Where has the time gone?

 

 We love our little man!

Brayden Kalan Wood

Here is his birthday card that I made for him.

Pretty cute huh!

He loves leggos.

So I though 6 of them on a card would be perfect for him.

He was so excited when he opened it.

Oh yeah- and RED is his favorite color too!

I think he liked the card more than the gift! 

He knows & loves G'ma's Stampin' Up! things.

WOW!

What a busy day yesterday back in the swing of things with the boys!

They are so sweet!

We had a fun day together getting ready for Brayden's birthday party that we had last night.

We had a few of Brayden's favorite things- walking tacos, strawberries, 

watermelon & chocolate sheet cake.

He got a big motor controlled monster truck from the Seeley family

& the boys all had a blast playing with that.

We gave him money & we'll go shopping together after we get home to pick him 

out something he wants.

Today I'm headed to pick up the boys & run a few errands.

Then back home for the day with them.

I will be headed to Osky tonight to deposit our hog check & get a few groceries.

Then home to sort stamp orders, work on swaps & get more things from STYC put away.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
