Woo Hoo!! Check out this awesome MDS picture that another demonstrator friend (Kimberly) created!

The Best things in life aren't things.....

Good morning!
Oh how true those words are on this card.
I just LOVE this saying.

Here is another card that we did at my 'All Occasions' class.
This stamp set- 'Feel Goods' is a great set of words.

I will update this in the next few days with the list of supplies used.

My step-dad (Dick) got out of the hospital on Wednesday.
He has alot of healing to do yet, but he is happy to be home!
I talked to mom again last night & it sounds like things are going ok- just slow.
Please keep them in your prayers- they have a long road ahead of them.
(Dick fell on the ice on the 26th & broke his hip.) 

Aunt Kathy & Uncle Jerry are home from being in Arizona for the winter.
She stopped to visit the twins & me yesterday.
We are happy they are home.

I have all 3 of my boys today!
So grandma is excited about that.
I know the twins LOVE it when Brayden gets to come spend the day with us.
Brody will be doing a happy dance!

I stamped until wee hours of the morning......as I have lots of things to get ready for upcoming events I have this month.
I'll be stamping the night away tonight & all day tomorrow/tomorrow night too!
As I have a workshop on Sunday & Ila is my hostess.
I am excited to see everyone at her party!
I am praying that I have good Mojo & come up with some cute cards to share.

I hope you have a great Friday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Opps.....a missed Sale-a-bration card!

AND I love the Summer Starfruit with the Rich Razzleberry.
It is very elegant!

My words to Deke when he text me last night that Nathan got wrecked...."CRAP"!  

Thank God he wasn't hurt!

The new car looks pretty bad though.

Guess the guys will be spending alot of time in the shop putting it back together.

And it was SO PRETTY before.

Oh, Whale

Good morning!

Here is one of the cards that everyone did at my 'All Occasions' card class.

I just love this little whale!

I enjoyed supper & visiting with my friends Donna & Phyllis last night!

It has been along time since we've had the chance to get together.

The guys all went racing.

Nathan got 2nd in his heat & got wrecked in the main, so they'll be spending alot of time in the shop this week putting his car back together.
THANKFULLY Nathan wasn't hurt.

This is a quick post, as I am off to get my hair cut & then deliver stamps along the way!
Then tonight I have a date with my honey!

Nathan & April got us a gift certificate for Christmas, so we are going out to eat supper tonight to celebrate our anniversary!

Yep- tomorrow (03/31) I'll have been married to my best friend for 29 years!

It was a beautiful spring day on our wedding day too.

I don't know where the time goes.....doesn't seem like it has been that many years.

HOPING & PRAYING we have many more anniversaries to celebrate together.

I'm lucky to have such a great husband!

Heck how many husbands help their wife get ready for stamp classes?

BUSY WEEKEND here.....starting today.....

Yesterday was a fun & busy day with the twins & new baby piggies!

Last night Deke & I went to the hospital to visit my step-dad.  He was in good spirits, but in alot of pain.  He has a long road ahead of him with healing from his hip surgery.  He has a huge screw, several little screws & a big plate in him now to hold everything together on his hip.  I felt so sorry for him.  He is definitely in my prayers, as he begins his healing journey.

My mom was diagnosed with bladder cancer late last fall.  She did several weeks of treatment & her last tests 6 weeks ago show that she is cancer free!!  She does have to follow up with treatment every couple months for several years & starts that process today......so will be saying extra prayers for her too.

 

For today's schedule....

Manda has the day off today, so she'll get to enjoy the day home with the twins.

With my coffee in hand, I am off to my Stamp Studio to cut wedding invites for Shanoah, as she will be home this weekend & they want to get them all made.

Then I have several orders that arrived the past couple of days too that I need to get sorted, cut & bagged to get delivered.

Nathan races in Donnellson tonight so all of the guys will be going there.

I am going to visit my friend Donna, whom I haven't seen since right before Christmas.

(She was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer & has been finished with her treatments for a month.  She is doing great!!!)

Ok- gotta run....

I hope you have a fabulous Friday!

Many Blessings!

Check out the visitor that came up to our porch door.

I am standing in the window in our family room & we are looking right at each other.

I can't believe that it is the end of March & we have this much snow again!

There were several friends & family that came to Pat's visitation tonight.

We were just going to have graveside services today, but due to all of SNOW- we'll be having her services at the funeral home & do her burial later, as she was cremated.

I hope you have a great day!!

'Best of Love' (February 25 Year Anniversary Set)

Especially for You....

HI!
Woohoo......it has been a crazy week preparing.....
I've been cooking tonight & just got done loading part of my car.
My card stock cutting just got finished too!
Yipee!!
I'm headed to bed for a few hours & will get up bright & early to bake cookie bars & finish loading the card before I head out about 6:30.
I'm off to Hiawatha to spend my day stamping with lots of stamping friends.
They will be attending my Annual 'All Occasions' card class.
I'm EXCITED & can't wait for them to see all of the cards.

I thought that the card shown today could be an "anything" card.

It would make a pretty wedding card, birthday card, sympathy card, get well card, etc.

There is a snow prediction for Southern Iowa this afternoon, evening & tomorrow.

I'm hoping that it misses us......or at least I don't have bad weather driving home tonight from Hiawatha anyway.

Also-

Several of my downline & adoptees are attending a Stampin' UP! Regionals today in St. Louis.

I know they'll have fun & can't wait to hear all about it!!

If I hadn't already had this big stamp camp scheduled I would have been joining them.

I hope they have safe travels back home too with this predicted snow storm.

Wow- have a fabulous day! 

Happy Stamping!

Hugs!

With Sympathy!

How appropriate is this card?
We have deep felt sympathy for the loss of Deke's Aunt Pat.

I LOVE the color combination on this card.
Old Olive is my all time favorite color.
It pretty much goes with everything doesn't it?
This is a simple, yet elegant card.

 This is one of the cards I created for my 'All Occasions' card class.

I have all 3 of my boys today!
Looking forward to their hugs, their smiles & their laughs.
They are excited to see each other & are silly when they all get together 
They are pure joys!

When they leave grandma will be finishing cutting card stock, as I have quite abit left to do.
And I'll be cooking!!
We are having yummy pork sandwiches, cheesy potatoes, 7 layer lettuce salad & chocolate chip cookie bars to eat at my 'All Occasions' card class tomorrow in Hiawatha.
I'm excited to get to see everyone & share!

I hope you have a nice Friday!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

Deke's Aunt Pat Baylor passed away at 5:00 a.m this morning.

Our hearts are sad.

But we are thankful that she is at peace & in a better place.

Bless her!

• Visitation is Sunday (3/24) from 5 to 7 pm at Holland-Coble Funeral Home in What Cheer.
• Graveside Services will be on Monday (3/25) at 11 am at Highland Cemetery at What Cheer. 
• A Luncheon will follow the service at Thomas Memorial Hall at the What Cheer Fairgrounds

Thinking of you.....

Good morning.....
Deke's Aunt Pat was hospitalized 1 1/2 weeks ago.  (She hadn't been sick before that.)
She has ovarian cancer that has spread to her liver.  Her kidneys & body are shutting down.  They put her in hospice yesterday.  So we went to visit her last night.  Today is her 59th birthday. (She is so young.)   It is just so sad.....I grew up next to Deke's grandma & Aunt Pat.  We moved next to them when I was in 1st grade.  I have many fond memories of playing at their home when I was young, plus all of the memories since I've become part of the family too so many years ago.
Please keep Pat & her family in your prayers.

This is a card that I am doing at my 40 card class.
It is a simple but elegant card that could be used for many different occasions.

It was just 3 weeks ago that Brody had his surgery.
He is now bandage free!
His incision is healing well.
His hair is starting to grow back.
He acts totally normal.
We count our blessings each day!

I still have lots of card stock to get cut!
But I'm sure looking forward to stamping with everyone that is joining me on Saturday for my 'All Occasions' Card Class though. 

Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
