Ahhh ~ Time to Stamp

O' how I just love this Stamp Set! Artist Etchings ~ ahhhh, just makes me want to got to Paris! Hmmmm I wonder if Stampin' Up would ever have an Incentive Trip to Paris? Wouldn't that be fun!!!

Well in the mean time I will just enjoy playing with this Gorgeous Stamp Set!

My Upline held a Team Meeting and asked if I would mind sharing something I saw or learned at convention! (and she gave us extra chances to win Great SU products if we did a Demo) Soooo you know I just had to Demo Something!

I decided to show case how SU designed Designer Series Paper & Stamp Sets to coordinate so perfectly!!!!

I made this simple card as my Demo. And then as an added bonus, I showed how cute it would be to turn the card into maybe a Hostess Gift!

I had been stalking my favorite blogs and came across this gorgeous Note Pad with envelope idea! Thanks Becky Roberts simply amazing

Not re-creating the wheel here just carried the same simple design over!

You open it up to find a cute To~Do List on the left and then the 3 amazing little scallop envelops to the right! You can put Gift cards, receipts, even Tea Bags in your little envelopes!

I hope you have a Great Sunday..... I know I will after church it is back to the Studio for me!

ahhhhhh ~ Life is good when you are Stampin'!

Thank You!

While we were away on our vacation, I visited our home town and one of my dearest friends held a WorkShop for me! This is one of the cards we did at her WorkShop! Using the bray technique, I just love the bray right now!

Thank You Lori, for hosting a WorkShop, I loved getting to meet all of your friends and see some of the friends from years ago! I had a Blast!

A Month Long Whirl~Wind of a Vacation!

One of or favorite things to do as a family is go out on the boat with Daddy! Here are our wonderful children being little "dare-devils" while tubing on our last outing on the boat with Daddy while he was here on leave. The day before we all drove to Texas to see Family!

Preston, Shelby, Stephanie & Bradley

What a relaxing time at the Lake with Family, Stuart's sister Tamara brought Stuart's Dad Preston with her from Midland, Tx. and Stuart's brother Cal came down from Tulsa, Ok.

While at the lake we had the opportunity to go boating there as well, here is Stuart helping his Dad put on a life jacket, I am not sure Papa Preston really trusted Stuart all that much. ;-)

The kids had a blast showing off for Papa Preston though!

Rough~housing with Daddy in Gramma's living room, and amazingly enough nothing was broken! Thank goodness, I always have to hold my breathe!

Stuart out on the Honda 50 looking for some of the children that were out on the other

Honda 50! hmmmmm how time would just get away from them.

A rather sad day, taking Daddy back to the Airport, he was able to fly out of Abeline, Tx. which was nice because it meant that Daddy drove to Texas with us (1200 miles from Savannah, Ga)

O' how I Love & Miss Stuart sooooooo much.

After dropping Stuart off at the airport, we continued traveling that day on into Midland, Tx. to see more family & friends! Here we are eating dinner with my Uncle Cecil, Aunt Maria, their daughter Laura with her 3 children Brittany, Matthew & Sean. Great times!

We came in and kind of took over Aunt Tamara & Uncle Jamo's house while we were in Midland! We had a great time though, on one night we all went out for Ice Cream at Swensons Ice Cream Shop! it was wonderful!

Uncle Jamo, Fish(Stephanie),Cooter (Preston), Aunt Tamara, Shark Bait (Shelby), Cousin Austin, Stoocy (Bradley). the nick names were given on the camping trip they went on while I was away at convention!

Here I am with my Aunt Jeanie on the way to the Airport in Dallas, Tx. getting ready to fly out to Salt Lake City for the Stampin' Up! Convention! Wooooo Hoooooo!
