Daisey #2

Good morning. We had a very nice rain over night that will really make the garden grow. Today is still cloudy and cool so I will be stamping and having fun.

This is another card we made in class this month. I am sad to say that the Daisy #2 die is being retired in May. It is such a cool looking flower as you can see.

There are so many stamp sets and accessories retiring and you really need to check out the list. If there is anything you want to purchase you need to do it as soon as possible as everything will be selling fast. Stamp sets can be purchased through the 31st of May but accessories are only available as long as the supply last.

 I am really looking forward to the new catalog and all the new products that are coming out. Our stamp pads are not retiring however they will be revamping them and making them better than ever. Also the markers are not retiring there are just some that won't be sold individual any more. Just a lot of info to take in and digest. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Sweetheart

It rained again in the night and everything smells fresh and clean. Going to be a cloudy day and that's just right for stamping. I am getting ready for our club meeting on Saturday and looking forward to lots of fun and fellowship.

I was stunned at the size of the retired list of stamp sets and am sending it out to all my customers so they can plan accordingly. I am loosing over half of my collection but am really hoping they will be replaced with some great new sets. The accessories list comes out on Wednesday, hopefully I won't have a heart attack over that.

P.S. I Love You

From my heart to yours, what a great saying!! This is going out to all my friends and family with problems today. You are in my heart and I am thinking about you and praying for you today. It seems that there has just been so much sickness lately with everyone I know. It's like an epidemic.

We are getting ready for a trip to Michigan in July to see all our old friends and spend time with our kids and other family there. I can hardly wait. There is to be a family reunion for my family and my husbands as well, so we will get to see people we have not seen in a long time. Looking forward to much fun and relaxation at the lake where our son camps. The next 2 months will go by slowly I am sure.

Nature's Silhouette

Today is another sad day and I would ask that you continue to pray for my friends, Teri, Ruth, and Marlene. Cancer is such a terrible disease and I wish they could come up with a cure for all kinds of it. I have lost 3 sibblings and so many other relatives and friends that have had cancer or other forms of it and I am so saddened by these events. Sometimes I feel like howling like the wolf below.(or screaming)

Here is my first card from the April class. I am sad to see that this set is retiring but hopefully they will replace it with something just as good. It is hard to find good stamps for male cards.

Card Recipe:

Stamp sets: Natures Silhouette and God's Blessings

Card stock: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning DSP

Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Crumb Cake seam binding, and dimensionals

Doily Sizzlit

Finally I am at the last card for March's card class and now I  can start on April's.

Went shopping this morning at Sprout's and got some really nice produce for a great price and also some good looking steaks to grill. I think Spring is finally here, the birds are singing and it will be about 80 degrees today. Nice day for grilling.

Only 12 days left to order from the Occasions Mini, if you haven't bought everything you love from there, better do it now. Time is short. We won't have another new mini until August when the Holiday Mini goes live. Also our large catalog will be done on May 31st. Not much time to get what you want from there either. A lot of items are retiring.

Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White

Ink: Wisteria Wonder

Accessories: Big Shot with Doily Sizzlit die, ticket corner punch, small pearls and glue dots.

Boy, life sure is not fair sometimes. Please continue to pray for Leona. Cullen lost his battle with cancer today. They were both great neighbors and I am not sure whether she will be staying on here or not. Just not a good day today.

Hope you like this card it is one of my fav's. Great for young people getting married now, it's so un-traditional. No one seems to like traditional anymore.

Happiest Birthday Wishes

Wow! It has been awhile since I posted. Life seems to get so busy now days. I have been busy with friends having fun and also not so much fun with some. There are so many sick people today and my friends are dealing with some real problems. That means I have been praying a lot and having some difficult feelings that kinda of hinder creativity. If you are a praying person and think of it, please pray for Marlene, Ruth, Teri, Kathy, and Cullen and Leona. All are going through rough times with cancer or other extreme health problems right now, in themselves or loved ones. I am sure they would appreciate your prayers.
