About Me

My photo
I would classify myself as an artist. It took me a while to finally accept that monicker, but that's what I am; AN ARTIST!!! I have a wonderful hubs that supports my "talents" in most all avenues, except maybe when the credit card bill comes in the mail...LOL And I have 4 great kids and 5 beautiful grandchildren that I love to pieces. Come on by and sit a spell and "STAMP 'TIL YA CRAMP!!! & "CROP 'TIL YA DROP!!!"

Loads of Love...

Yep, its getting that time again when we really start to think about the ones that we love....
I made this card for my sweetie, I hope he like it... Well, if he doesnt, I will just drive that load of hearts away.... oh yeah right, like I would do that. Heck, I think I've misplaced the keys anyway. bwahahahaha
Boy, I have made quite a few "manly" cards lately, I guess its time to break out and do something a little girly. Maybe tomorrow....but you will just have to check back to see if I do that now won't ya!!! {giggle}
See ya later and TFL

Retirement accessories and inventory blow-out!!!

Yep, Stampin' Up! is having a great sale.... Hope you have checked out the retiring stamp sets before they are all gone. And as the title says they are also retiring some accessories (paper, buttons, etc.) and also a great inventory sale with savings up to 50% while supplies LAST. Did you see that the word LAST was capital and bold ....yep you know what that means SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED. Its sad to see them go, but as they say "Out with the old and in with the NEW."

Speaking of new, a new spring/summer catalog is set to come out before the month is out, so check back here and I will let you know when I get my little hands on them.
I have seen a sneak peak at some new great stuff and I'm sure you will like them too!!!

So, what are you waiting for.....go ahead....yeah you......go shopping.........click already!!!!

Thanks for looking...TFL!!!

Live well, laugh often, love much!!!

The one that didn't get away....


...card that is....


Wanted to play with my new stamp sets...On the Fly and Bronc Buster. Yes, I know, I'm a little behind but I will catch up evidentually. We had a big day today in our house. We've had an addition of the pitter patter of little feet. 18 pitter patters to be exact...

Give up??? Harlee wanted to spend her christmas money and guess where she wanted to spend it at??? Yeppers...at the pet store. LOL She bought 3 hermit crabs today and all the accessories. Of course, Daddy and I had to pitch in just a little. She's named them, "Sebastian", "Shelly" and she let Daddy name the last one, and he named it "Survivor". Yeah, I thought it was too funny too!!!

Well, I guess I better go check on the new additions to make sure they are happy in their new home.

Thanks for looking!!!

Yeah, I finally got to stamp/play.....


Sorry to all that have missed the card making and had to read about all the work, well maybe not "had" to read.... I guess I should rephrase that....


Well, anyway here are two cards that I finally got to make today...

The first one is for my granddaughter that is turning 5 in a few days and the second one I made for the challenge on splitcoaststampers.
Pics aren't that great...it was late in the day when I got to take the pics.
Hope you all had a very happy start into the New Year.....it can only get better, right!!!!

House de-construction/re-construction...










Here is why I haven't been able to post or make any cards in the last few days....
Super busy trying to get the house in order for the new year....whheewwww made it just in time. But we have already discussed addtional work that we are planning on doing very soon. As the previous post we were very busy painting, tiling, laying linoleum, etc.... Boy am I tired. We are going to take the day off tomorrow or I might go out of my mind. I'm getting the dreaded 'cabin' fever from being in the house way too long.
I see stamping in my future....YIIPPPEEEE!!!!!
