Here is another sneak peek made with the new set- 'Kind & Cozy'!

Good morning!

Here is a cute scrapbook page that was created by someone at Stampin' Up!

It too was on our display board in the hospitality room.

It is very cute!

It shows the gingham circle & heart stamps that are also in this set.

Plus check out the new designer paper & coordinating Washi tape.

Busy day yesterday!

Enjoyed spending the morning visiting my mom & Aunt Virginia.

Then we raced last night & got home late.

It was COLD!

Nathan was fast & looked really good!

He is leading the points, so has to start in the 10th position & has to carefully work his way to the front through the pack.
He finished 4th.

 The twins spend the night with us, as it seemed foolish not to have them stay when they have to be back out here early this morning.

I have several cards that I've created using new products that I could pre-order from the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog.
I hope to get photos of them taken tonight & them downloaded to post- so be sure to stop back by tomorrow for more sneak peeks!

I hope you have an awesome day!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

It is pretty cool!

WOW- what a busy day yesterday!

The storm on Sunday night did some damage on the farm- but we are lucky compared to many, so really not complaining.

We had TONS of sticks & some tree limbs down- but got them all picked up & the yard is mowed & looks so nice; a power pole on the back of the farm fell- so the generator thankfully kept us with power to the hogs until our electrical company could get here; the generator had lightening damage to it, so wouldn't shut off- we are still waiting on the repair company to come fix it, so is shut off now manually; our Direct TV got damaged with the wind & lightening- but the repair guy was here to fix it.

So the twins were outside alot & enjoyed playing in the mud puddles.

Oh my GOSH!

IT was too cute!  

I wish I would have gotten a picture of them with the mud all over them.

Thankfully they had old shoes on & I washed their clothes right away.

Then last night I had to help Deke get some pigs sorted & moved, so it was a late night outside.

It will be another late night again tonight on the farm, as we sell hogs.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

More 'Summer Silhouettes'

Good morning!
Here is a card using the set 'Summer Silhouettes' that everyone joining me at my May workshops will be making!

Yesterday Deb & Janiece had an AWESOME stampin' party!!!

It was just a very nice day & I enjoyed it so much.

I think everyone did!

Great company & lots of stamping- what could be better?

 Isn't this card pretty with the white craft ink pad used on the flowers?

WOW- we had a big storm last night.

Terrible wind!

All of our toys are gone from our front porch.

I tried to get some of them picked up & found in the dark/rain before I went to bed.

Off now to go hunting again & hoping they are stuck in the ditch across the street.

Hoping we still have doors on our machine shed & no damage done to anything on the farm too.

I LOVE the rain, thunder & lightening- but just don't want it to do any damage in the process.

Good thing it wasn't an August storm- as we wouldn't have any corn still standing in the fields with all of the wind we had last night.

I am just going to chill with the twins today.

I have been going 100 mph with stamp classes the past 2 days & getting ready for them.

I haven't had much sleep.

This energizer bunny is winding down & pretty slow today.

Tonight I'll be a farmer- as Deke is getting ready for new baby piggies to come next week & we have lots to do.

He has meetings every day this week (on Thursday he has 3 meetings), so I'll help him as much as I can in the evenings too.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!

Happy Stamping!

Hugs!
