Give Away Time

I can not walk from one side of my studio without having to step over something - and it is all boxes of scrapbook stuff that is just sitting here - without purpose or place. So - I've got 3 - count them - 3! give aways today! Post in the comments section by Friday, September 5, and I will draw Saturday morning for 3 lucky people!

Prize #1

This is a collection of 55 8x8 scrapbook papers! Most have 2 sheets of each design, but the others just have 1. Bright Cheery Colors! :)

Prize # 2

This is a collection of 72 6x6 scrapbook papers and cardstock. I had joined one of those monthly kit things, and never used a drop. Nice. Various patterns and styles - good companies: Chatterbox, SEI, Creative Imaginations, and Reminisce - just to name a few.

Prize #3

A collection of unmounted, red-rubber stamps. These are from Purple Onion Designs, again from the monthly kit I was in. There is a complete Alphabet, a set of numbers, card sentiments, the words bliss, joy, happy, thanks, XOXO and a to:/from: stamp. Sorry I couldn't photograph these well. You will need to either mount these yourself, or use with an acrylic block.

Remember - post a comment by Friday, September 5 to get in on the fun! Look for more give-aways in the future!

This morning

LeeAnna was watching Leap Frog Letter Factory, and she has all the toys out of the box, spread all over the floor. Earlier she was in the toy box *with* all the toys.

So, I snapped a few pictures.


Then, here is the conversation that followed.
L: Who are you taking a picture of?
Me: You.
L: Here, take a picture of my skunk. (referring to the mouse)
Me: Silly - that's a mouse not a skunk.
L: Oh. Well, take a picture of the mouse.
Me: Well, hold it up so that it's pretty.
L: Take a picture of kitty too.
Me: Ok.



How do you confuse a mouse and a skunk? Ah! It's fun to be 3.

Want to know why I haven't stamped...

I'll show you.






You think we've got enough stuffed animals? They had all been out for a "sleep parade." They were lined up from one end of the living room to the other - all supposed to be asleep. And then after our nap, we certainly had the giggles. LeeAnna didn't want her picture taken. But, oh well. :) Ha!

Aunt Bee has been a busy lady. But I've got some banners that I can't wait to show you, and hope to work on some cards and things this weekend. :)

Have a great day!

Hi...

Just letting you know that I'm still alive. Granted, it doesn't seem like that some days.

I wanted to post a card that I just made! (yes!!) I made it for Kristina's Color Challenge 12. I gotta say - she is one talented gal. I am just happy that I had a few minutes to do something with my stuff. Of course, after I sat down, I didn't know what I wanted to do.

The colors this week are Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White.

Sorry I've been quiet. I've been keeping my friend's little girl this summer 4 days a week. So, the weekends are when I have time to sit down and do things. And don't expect much next week, since it is VBS week, and I've still got things to do. (And I don't like the feeling of that much unfinished business.)

I'm going to go work on some banners. I'm surprised that this didn't end up covered in glitter. I know I've been covered in it for the last couple of days. (Esp. since I spilt my new brown glitter all in my lap last night...) *ha*

Happy Stampin'! :)

woah...

I'm really sorry. I can't believe that it has really been since February since I sat down and did a little post for you. I've been supremely busy - but I guess that is really no excuse. (or maybe it is?)

Lots of things have been going on. But the best news is that there are only 9 more days of school! WOW!! And I still have a whole lot to cover with these babies. A whole lot more...
Today was field day, broke out and wore a pair of shorts! And let me tell you - you could spot my big ol' white legs across the football field. LOL!! Some of my kids were in the mood to whine today - so I had to hear crying at each event. Joy. *NOT!!*

I really wish that I had some new cards or scrapbook pages, or *something* to show you. But I don't. I really wish that I did. I made a REALLY cute card for my Nana for mother's day, but I forgot to take a picture of it. But you would have been so proud to see that I actually do remember how to stamp.

I am really tired right now, but my plan is to stamp TOMORROW!!! And so maybe - just maybe - there will be something new to show you. Maybe I'll dream up something awesome!!

ETA: Hey!

I don't think I ever put my flamingo page online for you to see. So, there. Sorry it looks a little crooked. I had trouble getting it to stand up for the picture.
