My farmer & his 2 cows!!!!

I just couldn't resist sharing the boys in their Halloween costumes.

I think they are all so cute!

Check out their smiles.

 

Brayden was a farmer this year & Brody & Drake are both his cows!

My downline/friend Melissia Greiner made these cow costumes last year for her twin grandsons.

She is so talented!!!!

We are blessed that we get the Greiner Twins hand me downs!

A perfect punch art pumpkin!

Good morning!
Happy Halloween!!!

I am so "thankful" for alot in my life.
I treasure all of those that I met over the years that have stamped with me.
And I'm especially thankful for all of my dear demonstrator friends that I have met over the years too.

Sherri Peters is one of those special friends & the creator of this awesome card!

I CASED this for one of my STYC cards last weekend.

This card was a HUGE hit as one of the favorites of many of my stampers!

Sherri is very sweet & so talented & I'd call her a punch art queen.

I met her a few years ago on one of our incentive trips.

On our trip to Fiji in May Deke & I spent quite abit of time with her & her husband Mike &

 then I hung out with Sherri at Founders in September too. 

This awesome card is her Founders swap! 

cs:  Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso
ink:  Pumpkin Pie (sponged around the edges of the ovals)
supplies:  Big Shot, Expressions Thinlits Die, Pretty Prints embossing folder, Modern Label punch, Extra Large Oval punch, sponge, White Twine, Scoring Tool, dimensionals

When it rains it pours.......yesterday was not the best of days.
It seemed that everything we did around here was wrong.

My repair man did get the part for my frig & put it on- so that is now fixed.
We got some errands ran & got drenched from the rain.
I got Drakes hair cut- (now to get Brody's done).
I got the rest of our Oak trim sanded, stained & varnished for Makenzy to come finish putting on-
he hopes to come next Tuesday!
And I spent several hours last night catching up on bookwork- SU!, personal & farm.

Tonight is Trick-or- Treat night & I need to get the boys treats finished.
I'm looking forward to seeing them in their costumes.

It is a new day & I'm hoping that the sun shines & things are good around here.

Wishing you a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween this Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

It was a late night selling hogs last night.

Our poor trucker (Jerry) had had a long last 2 days on the road. 

He was tired & hungry & I was worried about him.

So after we loaded hogs I came in & made him a plate for his supper & took it to town to the sale barn where he was still loading hogs.

I had a pork roast in the oven for us, so he got that with all of the fixing to go along with it to eat too.

His smile when I gave it to him was priceless, so I know he really appreciated it.

Deke has meetings all day today.

The boys & I are going to run some errands.

Tonight I have to work in my stamp room & get STYC things put away so I can start working on cards for this Sunday's class I have.

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

Our day yesterday was fun with Ryker joining us.
The boys played well together.
And Brayden was here to visit awhile after school.
He was excited that Papa was hauling in bales from the field that he mowed, raked & had baled from our cornstalks left from picking our corn last weekend.

When it rains it pours.....as my ice maker leaked all over my kitchen floor.
I have fans on it drying it out now.....so upset as we just got the trim on in the kitchen last Tuesday from the water damage in July from my washing machine.
Uggh......I just want my house to be all done & put back in order again.

Today I'm hopefully going to get caught up on lots of things that happened last week that I didn't have time to do since I was getting ready for STYC.
And then tonight I'm a farmer & will be helping Deke outside.

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

I sure appreciate all who helped me with STYC.

A special thanks go out to:

Aunt Kathy, Judy & Lynda who helped do some of scoring & Big Shot cutting before the event.

Aunt Kathy for helping me clean up for a few hours yesterday afternoon!

And to Willie for stopping by & helping for a bit too yesterday afternoon.

A big shout out also goes to Kimi & Brayden who stopped by last night & helped us pick up the chairs & tables & vaccum.

And I am blessed with a wonderful husband who is very supportive of my Stampin' Up! bussiness.  

He helped me all week with little things along the way in preparing, plus the setting up & cleaning up- as I couldn't have done my event without him!

I have 3 little boys with me all day today!

Ryker will be coming to spend the day with us & play with the boys.

So we'll be having a fun & busy day!

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!

Happy Stamping!

ink:  Night of Navy

I am still alive!!
Wow.....I'm beat & feel like I've been ran over by a truck.
But I finally got some sleep last night, as I slept for about 10 hours straight!
Wow- that is probably more sleep than than I've had combined the rest of the whole week!

Yesterday's Fall Stamp' Til You Cramp was WONDERFUL!
Thanks to all of you that joined me for this annual Stamp Camp.
I had a room full of ladies that all had so much fun stamping together & creating all of the projects that I had for them to make.
I honestly don't even know how many projects I created & they stamped yesterday.
It was LOTS & LOTS!
I will count them soon- as I'm headed back to start picking & packing up everything.
Last night I just walked out the door & left the huge mess when the last ladies were done.
I'll spend my whole day over there today cleaning up.

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Sunday & can enjoy this beautiful Fall day!
Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for another stamped creation that I'll be sharing with you!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!

A lovely Christmas Dove!

Good morning!

Wow......when I saw this dove in the Holiday Catalog I can honestly say that it wasn't one that I thought I'd ever buy.
BUT- then at Founders I got 2 awesome swaps from friends.

Sarah's had the rolled banner like this one.

And Kay's was stamped in Crumb Cake.

So I combined some of their ideas & came up with this pretty card for one of my Christmas Card Class/Kits!
I really like it!

 I will hopefully get caught up on supplies lists for cards that I've posted the past week in the new couple of days.

WOO HOO!!!

Today is my Fall Stamp 'Til You Cramp!

Wow......I've spend a lot of time planning, creating & cutting for this big day!
I can't wait to share & spend my day stamping with many of my friends.

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!
SUSIE

Wow! Check out this ornament punch!

Good morning!
Here is another one of my Christmas card class/kit cards.

I love it when Stampin' Up! coordinates stamp sets with punches!

This makes for a quick way to add a popped up layer to your card.

(I will catch up with supply posting after STYC.)

 

Woo Hoo!!!

Is it really Friday- Yikes!

I'm making progress......but I am still cutting card stock!

Oh my gosh....maybe I need to rename this upcoming Fall even to something else.....

as yes- I'm Stampin' 'til I Cramp!

My shoulders, neck, back, feet, legs, etc.

BUT I can't wait for tomorrow, so I can share all of my cute creations with all that are joining me to stamp all day!

We are going to have a FABULOUS day!

Update:

Brody had a good report yesterday from Lonnie.

She was going to have Dr. Menezes read the x-rays & will be calling with his results.

But she said that their was definite bone growth since his last x-ray & she had no concerns.

And that is what we've been praying for, as I sure would hate to see him  have to have another surgery in his future.

But we will handle whatever we have to I guess.

So we'll continue our prayers that the bone will continue to grow & close shut.

AND

Brody was so also good to lay still for them to be able to do the x-ray too!

Drake had a long day with "just" Grandma.

Good thing he isn't an only child!

He missed his brother terrible & I know Brody missed him too.

They are just never apart- so this was different for all of us.

It was so cute to see how excited the twins were to see each other when Brody got home.

Ok...back to work!

I hope you have SUPER Friday!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs!
