Christmas 'wonder' land

Meaning....I 'wonder' if I will be close to ready for Christmas when it gets here. I don't know about you, but I have lost a few days or even weeks lately. I can think of some things I would rather lose than days....

Sarah had a Christmas concert last night for strings and choir. She did great once we got to the school. She had a bit of a melt down on the way that made us late. Our cafeteria is the size of my family room so, being late means you sit in the courtyard and watch people walk in front of you while you strain to see the show on the small TV hanging from the ceiling. Long story long, I have no pictures to share of her concert. It is sad....but she has another one tonight. Maybe I'll get lucky!

At my stamp a stack last Thursday night we did some fun Christmas projects. One of them was these cute gift tags. These are made entirely from punches. I shamelessly copied them from Mercedes Weber.

They were just TOO cute not to! As is usual, I have my wonderful customers that must do projects exactly as they are presented....and then there are the ones that must change what ever I do. I love them both! Here are some variations on a theme.

Aren't they adorable?
Check back tomorrow. I have more great things I have copied to share. LOL

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...

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for...
