Hello......

Hello!

 Here is a cute set of cards that Donna Griffith from Stampin' Up! gave to me as a little gift for presenting at convention.
(Daleen, Julie & Alisa got them too!)

I really like it!

She said it was a case.....so I need to check out the catalog & see where she got the idea from.

Our catalog is a great source for finding cute ideas to copy!

 Check out the darling little bag that Donna put these cards in.

 They all match & are so stinkin' cute together!

The guys still are NOT DONE with getting everything done.

I am not a happy camper......they had better be done today!
I am tired of our house being a disaster.
I want it all back to normal & everything to be put back into it's place.

G'ma (I) was happy to see Brayden yesterday afternoon & last night.

Gosh......I hadn't seen him since last Tuesday morning before I left for convention & I sure missed my little man.

All of the boys were so good & had a great time playing & watching the races together last night. 
Nathan broke a tie rod & still finished  6th- so that wasn't too bad.
He just had bad luck.

Ok- I've gotta run- late night of racing last night.

I stopped & bought groceries afterwards so only put away the cold things & need to get everything else put away & such all done before the crew gets here to put on my trim & hopefully finish up their job today here!

Tonight is my stamp delivery night- so I still have lots of sorting & cutting to get done too. 
But I'm looking forward to seeing several of my buddies when I connect to get their stamp orders to them.

I'll try to update this post with the supplies used on the projects shown sometime soon.

I hope you have an awesome Thursday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Shoe Box swaps.....

Good morning!

Here are some of the cute cards that we did last Wednesday night at convention.

I hostessed a shoe box swap with my downline & some side line demonstrators.

We called in pizza to be delivered to our hotel.

And then enjoyed a fun evening of visiting & stamping!

The guys will be back today to work on our house.

They finally got all of the flooring in yesterday & have they have trim to put back on today.

I will be so glad when it is all done so I can put my house back together.

I'm so tired of the mess & everything being shoved into our dinning & living rooms.

It was a nice night last night to load out hogs with the cooler temps.

We are off to the races tonight. 

Wishing Nathan & the #52 team some good luck!

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Here is my 'roomie' convention gift!

Hello!

There is a tradition at convention that you take a little gift for your roomie's.
So I'm sharing today the cute box & gift that I made for my convention room mates.

I think that it turned out so cute!

I was so excited to see their reactions when they opened up the box.

Check it out.....

 It is a 2013-2014 Designer Series Paper Ringed Sampler that I made.

I am very pleased with it.

It is always nice for everyone to be able to actually see all of the Designer Papers.

So next time you stamp with me- be sure to check it out.

I'll have mine in my basket for you to look at.

I have made a little word window punch out labels put onto dividers to separate each package of DP.

I've also included the DP name, page number, price & coordinating colors of CS that goes with it.

What do you think of the cute little box that it is in?

This is a new product that is in the NEW Holiday Catalog!

I LOVE IT! 

Yes- the circle/window sheet window with the dots around it is already on the box.

All you have to do is fold it & it is ready to use!

COOL HUH!

Don't you just think the Strawberry Slush DP, along with the 'Flower Shop' stamp set & coordinating Pansy Punch make the cover just adorable!

The guys got all of the flooring down in the kitchen & half of the other 2 rooms are done.

They are to be back early today to finish laying the flooring & put down the Quarter Round.

It will be so nice to have it all done & have our home back to normal.

I have bunches of stamp boxes that have arrived the past few days- so will be sorting & cutting sets today so that I can get them delivered later this week.

Tonight is my farmer night.....as we sell hogs.

I hope it isn't too hot out tonight.

We were blessed with another little rain last night- thank goodness!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

I loved working with these ladies!

I've enjoyed preparing for our presentation the past several weeks & getting to know them all.

What a whirl-wind of a week convention was!

It was a wonderful time & I was honored to spend it with many friends!
  
What a wonderful time we had together!!!

Here is a picture of me that was on the big screen during my presentation that 
my dear friend Carol Nordquist sent to me.

There were almost 6,000 demonstrators in attendance!
Look at all of us!

I am also blessed & honored to have earned Founders again.....for the 7th year in a row!
Woo!  Hoo!
Below is a photo of me at Awards Night with the top 100 demonstrators in a the US.
And the top demonstrators in Canada too.
We will all be attending Founders Circle in September together!
What a huge honor for me!


Here is a group of ladies that I swap with monthly!
It was great to get us all together & be able to connect faces with names.

 Here is another group I'm in.
We are the of "Go-Diva" stampers & swap quarterly.
 I love all of these ladies too!!
