Halloween pics of Dan and I

Happy Halloween. Dan and I dress up every year for work. Dan is Joe from McKrackin Plumbing. I am Super Mom. Dan has his very own plunger and I have to keep

him out of the bathroom now so he wont play in there. It is hard to see in the picture but I have a sock, dryer sheet and some reminder notes on my back....On the front I have all 4 kids pictures, my bottle brush cleaner, duster, wisk and my shopping list. My friend Kim found these gold shiny tight as sin pants... I like to call them my "SHAZAM" pants. Joe the plumber kept oogling me. Maybe he should be more concerned about keeping his shirt down and his butt crack hidden. haha. I will take some pictures of the kids tonight when they trick or treat.

Till next time.

Crazy Hair day

Now for those of you who have met my tiny Rebecca.... you all know she has the biggest hair. Well for crazy hair day I used some freeze spray that my fellow Queen Rose recommended. It is called Got to be Glued. Cool stuff. So I had her brush it upside down and I sprayed on the glue. WOW... she would have been great in the 80's. I probably could have gotten it a bit bigger but at 6am and trying to get out of the house on time.. that is what she got. It was windy this am but I dont think she will have a problem because that hair is not going to move :) 73 lb girl with 10 lb Queen wanna be hair.

Organizing new stamp area

Hello again. Here is a picture of my new stamp area. I got a nice sturdy table that came with just 2 benches. So I tucked one under the other side and pushed the table against the wall. I put my 2 paper sorters on top. I then decided to double up my paper colors and re-label them. I was then able to pull out some of the other dividers to make room for my blue containers that were on sale at the end of the year. I have them all labeled too. Some with adhesives, spots, glues, mini notebooks and 1 for my need at my fingertip items.... like my snipit scissors, calculator, pen, tweezers.... stuff like that. I also had to sort my past In colors. I was getting the reds mixed up. So now I have one slot for each group. I also saved 1 slot for my current project. Right now it has the 3 cards for my upcoming Holiday camp and my little spider peppermint that I need to make friends for. So there is always more to organize but I like how it is coming along. Now if I can keep Logan from taking my graph paper to color on... sigh.

So if you are looking to get organized... just take it one section at a time. Till next time.... Happy Stamping.

Not like the others

I just had to add this pic of Logan and Dan honking noses. Logan thought he was pretty good at it.

Hi again, I got this notebook at work and it looked just like everyone elses in the meeting room... so what to do.... heck why not stamp it. My cube neighbor said that if it turned out cute that she wanted me to do one for her too. So I took it home and took about 10 minutes to change it up. Now I go to meetings with my notebook full of foof and it does not look like anyone elses :)

I did make a cute thank you card for Bea and Al for a gift they gave me but do you think I could remember to take a pic... of course not. I will have to go to Beas and take a pic of it.

Just a reminder.... the all Holiday card camp is Nov 14th and 16th. Make 15 cards using 3 designs for $20. Let me know if you want to attend and bring a guest. $5 off camp for every guest you bring who has not been to one of my camps before :)

Till next time... Happy Stamping

More misc cards

Hi. Ok so I should have taken this card pic the other way. Thought I could flip him around. Guess not. I made 2 of these cards. One for the maker of my Al sticks... Al himself. The other is for a co worker. They both have Birthdays on Sat. Happy Birthday to them. It is hard to tell from the pic but he is Mellow Moss on Night of Navy cardstock.

This card is for Dan's boss (my friend Kim) for Boss's Day. I used the Eastern blooms flower in the new pink on the same color card stock. I then use the top note die for the Big Shot and then put it thru the Cuttlebug for texture. It is layered onto Always Artichoke cs.

I took the Owl one from camp and dressed him up abit. I put the black and the light brown thru the cuttlebug to give him a bit of texture. I also use the spiral punch to decorate up the edges.

Dont forget about the November 14/16 camp for 15 Christmas cards for $20. Classes are filling up so let me know if you want to join.

Till next time.... Happy Stamping

Oct camp cards

These are the rest of the cards from camp. The Owl card is done using the big shot die called top note. See the last couple of pages of your holiday mini. As you can see I used the new scallop square punch for 2 of the cards. I am digging that punch. I also love the Eastern Bloom set. It looks good in any color. And we cant forget little Rudolph. He is a level 2 hostess set. He can be earned by hosting a party and getting to the level 2 in sales. Ask for more details.

I host a monthly camp at my home but am always up for a regular party at your house with your friends. Stamps travel well :) A home party is fun and simple. I do some demos and then the group does a make and take or two. Anyone can stamp and I would love to teach others that you might know.

Till next time... Happy stamping

Swap cards from Oct camp

Hello again. Here are the swap cards for Oct. Some chose to swap more than one card. The idea is to bring a card made with SU items and I swap out 1 for 1. That way you get an idea from someone else. Sorry the pictures done capture the detail of Cuttlebug or embossing like a couple of the cards had... but... still.... Great job ladies

Girls Weekend 2008

This is Castle of Spring Green. The hideout of the Queens for 2008. 8 rooms, 5.5 bathrooms and lots of stone and wood. Fantabulous.... This view is from the side standing on the driveway

This view is from the front. Bedrooms upstairs and the dining area and open great room are the windows downstairs. That is lots of Windex I tell you. Not a lick of material hanging from any of the windows.....

This is the offical Girls Weekend flag. We found these giant bloomers at a craft fair in 2005. Those who were in attendance that year signed..... That is my attempt at lips at the bottom. haha. GW was established in 1994 but I have only been going for 11 years.... Those ladies did some roughing it in the early years and I will gladly pass on water bag showers, bears in the woods and outhouses... not for me. So I started going thanks to the invitation from my great friend Jane Jenkins and dont have any plans to miss any of them. See Ms Jane below with that "I am on Girls Weekend" grin on her face. Next to her is Ms Patty. It was like traveling with Paula Deen. Just wanted her to talk just to listen to her accent. She fit well into the Queen circle.

The next 2 pictures are of the great room where we spent most of our time. Eating, drinking, chatting, lauging, playing games and building fires. We did a lot of get to know you games and those usually had funny stories to go along with them. I will post more pictures up later. Thanks for looking.
