Guest stamper!

I decided to showcase a guest stamper today on my blog. Shari B is a member of my SU family. She is an incredibly talented gal and loads of fun! Just don't get her laughing while she is driving...it can get scarey! This is a card she did for a hostess set swap. I didn't participate in the swap but she was nice enough to give me one anyway! I really like this card! The colors just pop and the background looks awesome! She used Baroque Motif for the background and the flowers and thank you are from a new hostess set....which I don't remember the name of. If you REALLY want to know...book a workshop with me for July and you can see it in the new catalog along with it's name! ;o) The colors she used are Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky. Hopefully, by the end of the next catalog, I will be able to spell that right....don't hold your breath tho!


In other news...I was innocently walking through the grocery store this morning when I was suddenly assaulted by several rather large bags of carrots. They just jumped right into my cart! It was a rather pleasant surprise when I saw there very reasonable price. I decided to bring them home. My children cheered and promptly picked up the peeler and assumed their positions for the canning ritual that has become an almost daily occurance at our home this summer. My daughter actually had two friends come over and help. I didn't even ask for this help, I promise! But heck, I'm not dumb enough to turn them away! I think they had fun....we ended up with 60 pints and 7 quarts of carrots. I may have to do more....my vegetarian daugther has already opened two pints to eat and they are still warm from the oven!

Aren't they lovely?? (The girls are pretty cute too! )I 'paid' the girls for their services by treating them to a movie. If you have not gone to see Evan Almighty yet, GO! It is a wonderful movie!! WAY better than Bruce Almighty. (sorry Jim) Steve can be funny without being naughty! What a thought! It was funny, clean and frankly...inspiring. I highly recommend it.

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
