A 'Watercolor Winter' Poinsettia......one of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards!

Good morning!  Yesterday was National Card Making Day!  Did you make any cards?  I hope many of you did.  I know that I got a message from Maggie that she did!!  Her note to me on doing this just made my day!!! 

Gosh- I stamped alot yesterday- every spare minute I could all day long, working on cards for workshops I have this month.   BUT I also played, read lots of books & enjoyed the twins too!

AND I still have TONS more creating & cutting to do this month as I have my Annual Fall Stamp 'Til You Cramp Stamp Camp coming up on October 27th!!  WoooHOOO!!  I have several signed up for this big annual Fall Stamp Camp, but I still have a few spots left if you'd like to join me.  Deadline for registering for it is next Sunday, October, 14th.  I promise it will be amazing- you won't want to miss it!

The above Poinsettia card is one of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack cards that I created earlier this week.  I LOVE this stamp set!  I love 2-step stamping.  I think this is really elegant!

'Watercolor Winter' & 'Greetings of the Season'

I have 6 amazing cards created & a darling little pumpkin/sucker holder to share with her & her friends today.  (Plus everyone else that is coming to any workshops that I have this month- you'll get to make these same projects.)  I can't wait to see everyone & share!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I enjoyed my day with all 3 boys yesterday.

It was hard for them to understand they couldn't go out to play since it was so cold.

Drake threw a little fit.

We may have to play in the garage all winter!

The twins will be here soon, as Manda & Steve have a wedding today,

so the boys will be spending the day with Mamma again.

I have some more cards to create & lots of cutting to do.

i will make the most of my time today so I can get some sleep tonight!

So far I have some cute things created for Shelly's workshop tomorrow!

My mojo was flowing last night- hope to continue that today!!

It sure is cold outside. 
 I was hoping for a longer fall.
I am not ready for winter- hope it warms back up.

We started our furnace before we went to bed last night.

I think the guys froze at the races.

Nathan didn't draw well, but Deke said he looked good though!

He started 16th & got 8th with no cautions- so that is good.

Wish him loads of luck for tonight.

Gotta run.....lots to do today. 

I hope you have a great day!!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

BUSY weekend & I am not going to be able to do everything!

Nathan races in Osky tonight & tomorrow night for the Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge.

In over 20 years I never missed this race. 

This year I can't do it.

I hate missing it!!!

I will be here at home- waiting on text messages from Deke as to what is going on & cheering for him from home.

Wishing him lots of LUCK!!

I have all 3 of my boys today.........so looking forward to that.

Tonight I'll be in my stamp studio working on cards for Sundays workshop.

Tomorrow I have the twins all day.

Sunday I'm in Iowa City sharing with Shelly & her friends!!  

 Gosh- it is gonna be a COLD weekend.

I LOVE fall- but not ready for below freezing temps already.
