WOW!!! What a great time stamping yesterday!!

HELLO!

WOW!!  Everyone had a great time stamping yesterday!!  

I so enjoyed my day & felt everyone else did too!

I was pleased with my turn out, my projects, food & the whole day in general.  

I look forward to sharing these exact same projects in Hiawatha soon with my group that is signed up there already!  

I have to give a big shout out to my wonderful husband for helping me get ready for this event.  He did alot of the Big Shot cutting, plus helped set up & clean up & even had to run back home yesterday morning because I forgot one whole basket of 4 of the card projects in my stamp room!  

(Good thing we only lived 5 miles away!)

I also appreciate Lorraine & Karen helping staying late to help us pack up & clean.  

THANK YOU!!

So here are a few shots of the girls enjoying their day stamping!  

I just about forgot to take any pictures & know that some of the girls were already done & gone before these pictures were taken. 

There were 20 different cards & everyone made 2 of each of them= 

40 total 'All Occasions" cards!  

What a great day!!

I loved seeing some of the girls put their own twist to the cards & change them up.  {big smiles}

(AND a note to Julie- I didn't have this post saved...just typed it up now as posting!) 

So last night I was soooo tired but still so pumped up.  It was after 11 before I ever went to bed.  I slept like a rock & didn't wake up until 9 a.m.  I never do that....but am ready to go today.  I have tons to do.....so pray I get it all done.

Our kids are coming for supper & hair cuts tonight.  Looking forward to us all being together.  Think I'll make breaded tenderloins & cheesy potatoes.  

They are a family favorites!  

ENJOY!! 

Happy Stamping!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you!!

HI!  WAHOO!!!

Today is my big 40 card "All Occasions" class.

I can't wait to share with those of you that are joining me today!

AND I look forward to sharing the same cards with those of you that are signed up for my class in Hiawatha, as you will be doing the exact same cute cards. 

Sorry- no cards to post today....but check out these cookies.
I made them with our new cookie presses.
So cute & simple!
Just roll the dough into balls, press them down with the cookie press & bake!
I put green food coloring in mine since it is actually St. Patrick's Day today & these are for my card class.

Brayden was here yesterday & he had fun helping me bake these!
He is only 3 1/2 & he could press them out with the press.  

Ok.....gotta run......

I'm packing up & heading out now for my card class.  

{big smiles}

I am exhausted- but so EXCITED to share with my girls that will be stamping with me today! 
Tomorrow I have the day off & hopefully will get some sleep & catch up on things around the house that I've let slide this week because of me getting ready for my class.
Know I have several stamp order/boxes that arrived on Friday that I need to sort & get them ready to deliver to the hostesses, so that will take some time for me to do tomorrow.

My pork & cheesy potatoes are cooking in the crock pots & sure smell yummy!!  

And aren't my shamrock sugar cookies just too cute!

The girls today will get cute cards to create & will have lots of yummy food to enjoy too!

 

What a beautiful weekend in store of us weather wise!

I hope you enjoy it!

Check back soon for some more of my cards that I'll be sharing!

Happy Stamping!

Here is another sneak peek of some of my upcoming 'All Occaions' cards!

Hi!
Here is another sneak peek of some more of the cards that everyone will be stamping at my upcoming "All Occasions" card class!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

More cute ones huh!

I think that everyone that gets to join me for this class will have fun!

PLUS they are going to go home with tons of new ideas & cards that are already to be given. 

NOTE- 

IF you missed signing up for my 'All Occasions" card class & want more ideas like them I will be having my annual "SPRING Stamp 'Til You Cramp" event on April 21, 2012 in South English, Iowa. 

This stamp camp will be SO MUCH FUN with lots more cards.
At this stamp camp I will share & teach you different techniques & folds & things that are more detailed than things we do at workshops each month.  

I'd love to have you join me for this upcoming fun day of stamping!

Contact me for more information on this upcoming 'SPRING Stamp 'Til You Cramp' event & get signed up!

ENJOY!

Happy Stamping!
