Summer is almost gone!

It's hard to believe summer is almost over. We will still have hot days here in Dixie, the dog days of summer, they call them. However, school is starting this next week and most summer activities are winding down. I have had a busy summer, this is why you haven't heard a lot from me. I have been keeping all the grands- Kelli 9, Cadie 4 and Cooper 4 mos. It has been a fun, but very tiring summer for me. I have also been working on building a Stamping In Dixie facebook page. I am still learning about all this social media and how to connect this to that and so on... It really is amazing what can be done on the computer these days. I feel really old! You may reach me anytime through email cindystamps@knology.net , facebook Stamping in Dixie, or leave a comment here. If I can help you in anyway please let me know. Blessings are new every morning!

I'm still Here

Lately, it seems to be my post all start with "it's been a while". Life just has a way of getting in the way of my plans! In the last few weeks, we have had a major flood at my mother's house, a minor water problem at my house that required all my beautiful bamboo flooring to be removed, we have inherited a house guest with baby (since first week in August), and moved our daughter Jennifer from her rental house into my mom's house. Needless to say, it has been wild, busy, somewhat emotional ( Tommy and I laid that floor, every board, ourselves. It was our 25th wedding anniversary present to each other) and draining. I have eeked out a little stamping time for my stamp a stack and hostess club, but am very far behind on projects I need to plan and want to try myself. I am reminded of a song Ernie Hauss sings "What a difference a day makes..." This is true!! I hope and pray your coming days are productive and enjoyable. There is a proverb in Scripture that says, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust" So our job is to deal, keep going, pull up your big girl panties and move on! Continue to bless others and you will be continually blessed!

This Birthday card I want to share with you is from a recent stamp a stack. It is a great card I think, very simple, but really pretty. It is stamped on So Saffron with versa mark then colored with Stampin' Pastels. The stamp set is Upsy Daisy. Quick and easy card!
