$3.00 from each stamp set sold will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities to help support families & children who have serious illnesses.
Together we have already contributed over $1,00,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

We race tonight in Bloomfield.
Today I will be working on putting new pre-order items on my shelves & removing retiring items.
Plus have 30 cards to get done & in the mail tomorrow morning for Kelly's swap.
And I need to get figured out what I'm doing for projects for my upcoming Open Houses!!!
And I have to get May BD cards done.....YIKES!

Yesterday we got my air conditioner in my Stamp Studio & new rods put up to hold more punches.
(Thanks to my wonderful husband for all he does to help me!)
We did our tour of Keokuk County & went to cemeteries to put flowers on our loved ones & friends graves.
Plus we checked out everyone's corn & bean fields along the way.
Then I delivered stamp orders & visited a few customers & one downline.
I came home & we made lettuce & dumplings for supper.
Then I worked on organizing my new ink pads & color caddy.
And we went to bed early.

Our internet was down all evening, so happy it was back up & running now for me to catch up on things this morning.

Have a great day!!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

Just something different & fun!

We are working on some "honey dos" around here this weekend.
Thankfully I have an amazing husband that is talented & can do things like that.
I have a long list for him to do.  
I am going to OWE him big time!

I have one of my New Catalog Open Houses here next Saturday- so he is trying to get an air-conditioner installed so it won't be too hot in my Stamp Studio.
Plus we got some more new rods for punches & a few other little things too!
We made a trip to one of my favorites stores last night- Menards!! 

Hope you all have a great day & enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.
Check back again tomorrow for more ideas.

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
