Another Day

Do you remember the old song,"Time keeps slipping, slipping into the future..." Boy, am I experiencing that, it has been quite a week. My mother is on a trip with a good friend out west and a cruise through the inland passage of Alaska. Last week her house flooded, so I have had to deal with that, I am working hard to get ready for the upcoming Royal Blog Tour and getting ready for a shoebox swap with the other demo's in our area. Can you say busy? The house is a mess, oh yeah, Tommy has been "down in his back", which is a really good reminder to appreciate him for all he does for me! All that to say, I have not been very good about posting this week. Most of the projects I am working on are for the Blog Tour. Can't show those yet, but here is my swap for tomorrow nights shoebox swap. I really like it. I used the new designer series paper Thoroughly Modern. It is so cool. I used the polka dot Soft Suede ribbon and stamp set Thoughts and Prayers and Fifth Avenue Floral. These are both great sets. Hope you like this card. Come back for more and don't miss the Royal Blog Tour. It is going to be great! Blessings!

Pretty Paper

Isn't this just the prettiest paper? I made this gift card holder yesterday out of a piece of DSP called Pink Flamingo. It makes me think of fun in the Florida sun in the summer. Click here to check out all the new DSP in the brand new 2009-2010 Catalog and Idea Book. There are some really awesome papers in this years cattie. This link will take you to my Demo website, where you can shop online 24/7. Isn't that grand? I love computer shopping. Tombo would say I love it to much. Oh well, what's a girl to do? I got the idea for this project from Lisa Freeman at http://www.stampingwithlisa.com/. The inside actually has 2 pockets. One for a note and one for a gift card or two gift cards. I'm sure we will be making these soon at hostess club or gift stamp camp. Let me know if you'd like to make this project. Now, I am off to the stamp room for a minute or two. Have a blessed day and you guessed it- Go bless somebody else.

Updates

I felt the blog needed a face lift (don't we all) so I hunted around on the Internet and found this free site with backgrounds. I love the daises, they are one of my favorite flowers. It's still a work in progress. I'm sprucing up for the Royal blog tour the end of July. I am really excited to be apart of this great group of ladies. They are so encouraging. Speaking of updates. This is more of a reminder. Today is the last day to sign up for the DSP Stationary set Class scheduled for Thursday, June 25th at 6:30 at the Ink SPoT. Here is an example of the box we will be making, it holds six matching cards and envelopes. Fun project. I have room for 2-3 more ladies, so call or email me if you are interested. Got go now. Have a blessed day. Stay cool!

The Rest of the Story

Ah, don't you just miss Paul Harvey, "Now for the rest of the story". Well, here is the rest of my last post. I am still struggling with getting pictures to do what I want. Yesterday I even played with the Html code. That didn't help! I had a couple more pictures of the girls and a card I made for them. I am trying to get my last fix on the retiring colors. I have really loved them this year. Since, we were talking about "my little fishes" I made a card with the Just Beachy stamp set. I really like this set. Simple card -the white cardstock is wheeled with See you around jumbo wheel which is retiring this year, then I used a piece of DSP in Pacific Blue. The Hugs and Kisses stamp is embossed with white embossing powder, the fish and Popsicle are colored with a blender pen using Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze classic ink! Okay, half the month is over. There are only 14 days left to place an order off the Last Chance List, don't want to long you don't want to miss out on that favorite stamp set that is moving to Stampers Paradise or maybe Florida! Gotta run, Love yall, go bless sombody's socks off!

Terrific Tuesday

Hi Girls, It has been a great day here in Dixieland. Hot, Hot, Hot! They are predicitng 100 degree temps tomorrow and Thursday and it "ain't even summer yet!" Me and the Future Stampers of America (Cadie and Haley, 2 yrs.old now) have been spending alot of time in the pool. "Wimm, CeCe wimm" is Cadie's first sentence when she arrives each morning about 7:30. And after breakfast wimm we do. They look like little fish, or maybe turtles! So, I am showing yall pictures to day! Also, as you can see I have been crowned and I am really excited!!!! The banner is not there yet, but hopefully before long. This is Cadie. Haley didn't make it into the swimming pictures. Have a blessed day GRITS (Girls Raised In The South)and go bless somebody else!
