The stamps and life...

Well, sorry, to let you down but, I have been so busy the last few days that I have not had time to stamp and or, turn around and think....LOL Here are the stamps that I got from http://hmstamps.com/ ....
Go and check out the site they have really great service... Sorry, that the photo is not better.... I need a new camera really bad.... DH are you reading this? You know which one we both want...hehehehe :0)

On top of working all last week and Sat.; our niece and her fiancee got there first place and I went over to see it after work Sat. morning and they where all painting it and unpacking things and I could not just stand around and watch for to long...:0) So, first I helped her unpack and then I started cutting in the corners, while my sis painted the walls and cut in around the floor... Her first place is so much better than mine was...:0) Everyone was working on something and then all the sudden my sis and where the only ones there working.... But, we had a good time talking and laughing with one another... Everyone else was in and out doing different things to help her move in or, getting more paint or, going off to work...:0) We lost track of time and the next thing I knew it was late and I headed home to spend a little time with my beloved....:0) TFL

Happy Easter!

I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Easter!

I did not make this lovely master piece a friend of mine did but, I wanted to share it with all of you because, she put so much love and hard work into it... Please enjoy... I would link you to her blog but, she has none... She is the on-line master of the Sunroom Library (link to the right), many of you know her as Inkiepinkies on many MB's... Thank you, for this great gift Lady Inkinpinkies and for the friendship too...:0) TFL


P.S. the photos where not great so, I scanned the panels so, you could get a better look at it...

The Loot from the show..

Wow! Sorry, I got really busy this week at work and totally forgot to post the photos of the loot that I got at the stamp show over the weekend last weekend...:0)

Okay, here it is what I worked for, bought, and also got some free for being on the design team...

Yes, I got more alcohol inks, a.i. blender and a lot of u.m. rubber, EZmount and two very fun mounted stamps both coffee related...hehehehe Yes, the one is a Starbucks logo and the other is a coffee cup and if I mask the middle of the cup it will make a great Starbucks coffee cup card and gift card holder to come latter on...:0) And if you look closely at the photo you will also see other foodie relater stamps that came in a sheet.... It has Pepsi , Coke and many others that might come in hand some day, I found them cute and bought them....:0)

Yes, one of the new stamps has ink on it... I made a card before I went to the show for Amy's collection and it had a computer sentiment on it and we swapped it out for a rubber one to help sell more of the rubber... So, Amy told me to take the stamp home with me...:0)

BTW, my craft counter still looks this way I have done nothing with it this week...:0( Sad I know I need to get busy mounting this new rubber on to EZmount, I may not have bought enough EZ.... TFL

What a day...

What a day yesterday was...:0) This day had been in the works for some time for me and the owner of Auntie Amy's Embossing Arts... Amy had asked me months ago to come to the Heirloom Rubber Stamp show and help her do make and takes and sell products...

I met Amy and Bob yesterday before the show opened and when I got there and she gave me a big old hug, such and sweetheart and Bob too is a sweetheart...:0) Amy and I have talked on the phone and in E-mails many times but, this was our first face to face...
Then I met Linda and Jodi as well, Amy had set them up to come in an help out and demo as well... Linda and Jodi are mother and daughter and they might be the nicest people that I have ever had the chance to work with at one of these shows...

Yesterday went by so dang fast for me... I helped to show case Alcohol inks and Gell Roll stardust pens and Twinkling H2Os... Jodi, was first up in the make and take chair and she did a great job... Then I was up and I did my thing with H2Os, then Amy came in an worked her magic with A.I.'s , then back to me and H2Os and Gell Roll pens... Then a lunch break and we got Linda in and she was a whiz at teaching A.I.s and I passed by on my way to get more baskets for the shoppers and she asked me to take over again I finished out the day in the seat with the Pens and then A.I.s...

Well, we sold out the the pens first and then the A.I. applicators and a few of the new stamps that we had all been show casing... While I was showing the pens they sold out Amy came over and pulled them from the table and said show the A.I.'s and soon they where sold out of the applicators too it was a good thing that is was getting close to the end of the day...

I then stopped showing and started shopping in Amy's booth...:0) I did not make it to any other booths that day but, I did enough damage shopping in Auntie Amy's; booth it is a good thing I had worked for some of it...LOL
I will post photos of the goods I got soon...:0) it is a good thing that my DH worked yesterday, because I spent most of it...LOL Ssshhh Love you honey if you are reading this...

Jodi and Linda where heading to the show again today to help out but, I only get one day off this weekend with my beloved and this is it so, you can guess that I will be with him....:0)TFL

Met the team...

Me, Jodi, Amy, Linda and Bob...

I forgot to tell you all...

I won! A $20 shopping spree, I get to go and pick some stamps out...:0) Thank you, Sandy and Dick... I have been looking at all the yummy stamps HMStamps has and trying to decide which ones I want...:0) Thank you again...:0)

Favorite Things...

I told you that I had been busy coloring up a storm... I love playing in my craft room and when I can not I take images with me and color them for future use... I had Jury duty this last week so, while I waited in a little room for my number to be called I colored...:0) I never got called.... Bummer I would love to be on a jury someday... I find it a right to serve and the time when I needed a jury I had a great jury...

I love to read blogs as well and check out what others are up to every now and then... Well, last week I was at My little corner Aud's blog and came across a post about my favorite things... Here are some of the cards I came up with about my favorite things... I have a thing for my Auntie Amy Embossing Arts stamps, Studio G stamps, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Copic ciao markers, Twinkling H2Os, and Stickels...

The first card I used my Cuttlebug, some Copic's and Stickels...

I know it is hard to see in the scan but, the second card is colored using only my H2Os on and Auntie Amys Embossing Arts stamp... Yummy

The third card I used the Cuttlebug and my Copic ciao markers on a Stdio G stamp... I am not sure what this card will become Easter, A little bird told me or, Just flying by with a Hi!

Coloring up...

Coloring up a storm.... I have been coloring a bunch of images this week... I should have some new cards for all of you to see soon...:0) Dead lines are fun...:0) I am also getting ready for a stamping show in the next few weeks I will be helping to sell and demo at the show...:0)

I have a lot of things going on right now so, that is the reason for the slow down on my blog... Life and family always come first for me but, I did find some time to stamp some images as well as to start coloring them... That totally makes me happy I need my outlet...:0)

I have set a few personal goals for myself such as who I am and what I want out of life and just where is it the my life is headed right now... It is all good and I am working on my weight loss goals even harder right now... My DH and I are walking a mile and a half every afternoon when we get home from work... Some days the dog gets to go and others we just see how fast we can go without him slowing us down... His little legs do well but, he is a three minute penalty for us...hehhehehe As if three minutes is that big a deal...:0) And truly it is not his legs that slow us down it is the sniff, sniff, and tinkle on every thing that slows us down...LOL I really love that little guy but, man can he tinkle on everything for a mile...hehehehe

Okay, I need to go because DH will be home in a few and I need to get my walking shoes on... Thanks for the E-mails and the blog post but, truly I am well....:0) No news is good news...
