It's baby shower time

My dear friend Allison is having a girl, I can't decide what ribbon to go with. tell me what you think.

As you may know my brother in law left for boot camp on March 30, 2009
my Aunt Debra came across this website where you can find all kinds of info and try to find your family member from the graduation the hold there every weekend. Well we have found 4 pictures of him and I had to share.

Finally crafty again.

Here is a card that I made my grandparents. It is a new stamp set.

Second Camping trip of the season

Well, we went on out second camping trip this weekend and it was fun. I got dumped in the lake twice (bur) and Adam went in once. I really need to be at home getting my craft room finished so I can work on cards. I just love to camp so that is what we will be doing every other weekend for a few. here is a pic of Adam and Sam after there fight with a jet ski.

Well I finally have something new to share.

Sorry I have been away so long, but too much going on. I work every other weekend, and so first sign of pretty weather, camping here we come. I love to camp, and we started off our camping season early this year.

My craft room is a mess, we are having to move stuff around because MY space has to be shared with Install Heroes stuff, and I mean lots of stuff. I have not done anything crafty, and I have new sets of stamps that I have not got to use yet.

On a more serious note, I am very sad, my brother (in law) which I think of him as a blood brother because I have been around so long, he joined the Marines and he leaves for boot camp today. I am upset with myself because life is just passing by and you don't think about till too late, we don't spend enough time with Aaron and Rebecca. They invited us over to their house on Thursday for dinner so that we could visit with them just the four of us, and It was very nice. We went to a going away party last night for him at Rebecca's sisters house, and I had a very good time. We have a breakfast this morning with all the family at 8 a.m. and we see him off at 4 p.m. People probably think that it is silly to be sad, but Aaron had never been away from home this long all together he will be gone somewhere like 6 months. I am very excited for him and can't wait to see in in his uniform. I get to see him graduate in July.


Ok, had lots to talk about, sorry for rambling on, and on.

My monthly Stamp Challenges

My SU demonstrator holds a online crop and these are my cards I made. If you have never been in a online crop, it is very stressful. I wanted to throw my net book at Samantha(Love Ya Sam).

Here is my sponge challenge. I used SU real red, and a Digital stamp from Pink Pedicoat.


I just used circle punch for the bubble gum, a retired SU stamp from "A little Love" 2004 set.


Ok this one is better. I used Oops-a-daisy paper by Paper Studios, and just small metal colored brads.


I had very hard time with this one. I used a turtle stamp out of the dollar spot at Target. DCWV paper and SU Wild Wasabi ink, and Sakura Stardust pens.

Finally posting again

I have been lazy with my posting. I had to make a card for a birthday. She is a bird watcher. I will be posting more later.
