Stamp Club photos

This card is a trifold card made with the new paisley stamp. The photo is horrible. I need to set up a little frame like Stampin Kub did and try to do a better job. It is a pretty card IRL.

This is the little photo frame and bookmark.

And last a cute shaker card with Wild About

You. I will make more of these. They are

cute.

Stamp Club

I went to stamp club today and my demo Janet had us make some of the cutest things. We did a shaker card which was much easier than the one that Kathy and I made. I will be making more of them. Also we made a chipboard frame with a monogram on the front. I chose a C so I could give it to my friend Carolyn or Cindy or keep it myself. Also made a trifold card out of the double sided paper and a bookmark out of a paper clip. Very much fun today.
There were only 3 of us there.
It has been a beautiful day today and I got some stuff loaded in the camper to take. I am going to make the Weight Watchers strawberry yogurt pie to take with us for dessert rather than eat the desserts at the restaurants in Savannah. I am hoping we get to eat at Lady and Sons. We didn't the last time there and this time I really want to. I also think I would like to try the Pirate House as I have heard that it is unique.
We are looking forward to getting away. But our poor plants that we just bought will need to be brought in the garage as they are predicting freezing temps for a few mornings.
I will try to post photos of my cards--this will be new for me. Hang in there with me.

What Does Your Name Mean?

I found this cool thing on "Stamping while I can" blog and thought it was neat. So I had to try it. Hope you do too and let me know what your name means. And is it correct? I hope mine is as I like what it says I am.

Have a nice day.

trying to get a counter

Best Buy Coupon

I am trying to figure out how to do this counter thingy and can't get it onto my template but can get it on the regular posts. Guess I will try to work on it some more when it isn't nighttime and I am sleepy!!

Beautiful NC, Furniture Market, and Stamping.

I just feel the need to post about how much I love living here in NC. It is the most beautiful state and it is especially spectacular in the spring. I took this photo yesterday of the wisteria that I saw along the road. It is too bad that the junky building and vehicle are there to distract from this beautiful scene. You should have smelled it--it was heavenly.

I spent several days this week at the High Point Furniture Market which is a huge event for our area. I enjoyed seeing all the new furniture that is being manufactured and especially loved the childrens furniture. Now if I could just buy some for the grandkids. There is a Mary Kate and Ashley collection that is adorable. Also Build a Bear has a line of childrens furniture that is nice as well. I went with my friend Kim, who has a furniture warehouse and has excellent prices if anyone is interested in quality with a good pricepoint. I highly recommend her. She is legitimate and safe to order from. I have included the link to her website. I will also post a photo of one of the bedrooms from the build a bear collection.

Someday I will be brave enough to post one of my cards. I am a beginning stamper and I don't feel that my work is ready for publication.

Thanks for checking in.

Sunday

I have wanted to make a card all day today but had to do the house duties. We got the lawn mowed and it looks fairly good in spite of all the onions. Then it was lunch time which was a simple one of shrimp and salad. Jerry got the jeep running and we took it for a ride to get gas. He is now watching the race. Our driver, Dave Blaney in the CAT car, is not doing well again. At least both cars made the race today. It is the first race that Jeremy Mayfield has qualified for. Maybe he will make more now. It makes Jerry feel so bad that he works so hard and gets no satisfaction from the way they run.

It is my mom's birthday today and I called her first thing this morning to wish her a happy birthday. She wanted me to sing to her, so I did, even tho it is off key. She liked it and laughed. Hard to believe that she is 77.

I have never mentioned my love of camping on the blog yet. I look longingly at our camper in the back yard and wish we could take it more often. We will be going to Savannah over Easter so that is something to look forward to.

Maybe as soon as the race is over I will make a card. We shall see.

Thanks for checking in.

2nd post

I am so impressed that someone actually found my blog and commented on it (thanks Ashley) that now I am motivated to keep at it. I hadn't even checked in as I thought I would be lost in the sea of blogs.
Kathy and I are trying our hands at blogging and I may even post some photos of cards that I have made. I am gradually learning and getting better. I am trying a new technique every week. The next one will be a shaker cards. We (Kathy and I) bought some pretty beads at HL yesterday and now I learned from Gina to use the windows from pasta boxes and even from the plastic that encloses kids toys for the windows. Isn't that a great idea?
I think the focus of my blog will be 3 things--1. stamping and cards 2. weight loss and 3. The Secret and staying positive with lots of gratitude for my life.
So, that is all for today and I will be back.
