just a little note~and lots of PTI dies...

Happy Monday Peeps!! Mike and I left yesterday for vacation *woot woot* We will be spending an entire week together~which I am sooo looking forward to. We are planning a few day trips one to Sedona and one to Jerome~and then playing it by ear the rest of the week :) I did manage to stamp a few cards so I will still have posts going up on my usual post days M-W-F, but the chit chat will be on the light side, LOL (unless I can find some Internet access~then I will pop in). I am a little nervous about unplugging for an entire week~but I know after the first day or so it will be nice. I used a lot of PTI dies for this card~FUN!! Enjoy today!!!

daily news...

Just poppin' in with a quick card tonight. For some reason I have no stamping mojo *hate when that happens* and I even have new goodies to play with~what is up with that?? I am hoping it returns soon! Made this tonight while listning to some hip hop.



Mike and I are getting excited to be going on vacation next week *woot woot*. I am hoping to upload a few new books to my iPhone Kindle app, not sure how it will be reading a book on my iPhone, I'll let ya know, LOL!!.

My laptop died a few weeks ago and I don't think my hubby will let me buy one of these until Christmas, LOL!! So looks like I will be pretty much unplugged next week (except for my iPhone), so hopefully I will get my act together and get some posts scheduled for y'all :)

Enjoy today!!!

you warm my heart...

Hi friends!! oh boy, weekends always fly by, don't they? I was so busy with random stuff this weekend, I didn't even get any stamping time :( I made this card the other day when my "happy mail" arrived...which I am hoping to ink up some of my new goodies tonight, while the hubby is at a meeting for church.



Have you heard of Pinterest?? Oh my, I LOVE it!! Not sure I need another thing to be addicted to, but I love that you can pin up neat ideas to save for later, AND see everyone else's neat ideas!! So FUN!! You should request an invite!! I am still learning how to get around the site, but so far I am LOVING it :) This is about the most exciting weekend news I have to share (I live such an exciting life, LOL!!)~I bought this (and have to say I am really liking it!!). Mostly because I can use my own cleaning products in it. It did an amazing job!! That is my OCD talking, LOL!!

Have a super day!

new stamps in da house...

Howdy!!
It is FRIDAY *smile* Even if I have lots to do this weekend~I am still happy it is FRIDAY!!

My favorite Brown Truck Man delivered my Papertrey GOODNESS on Wednesday, *happy face here* and I actually had a few minutes to play with one of my stamp sets that night~GLORIOUS!!

I have had a few people ask me what I bought~inquiring minds wanna know, here is my list: Mat Stack 3, Big Birthday Wishes, News Print, Think Big Favorites 2, PTI dies to go with my new sets (and a few to go with sets I already own), a few packages of cardstock and some twine. I will be having fun for a little while ;)

Here is what I created Wednesday night~it wasn't what I had envisioned in my head, but after a few incorrect cardstock cuts~I made it work, LOL!!



Enjoy your weekend!!

mat stack 2 thinking of you...

**oops!!** *accidentally posted my 365 post on this blog last night...sorry to all my subsribed readers for my mistake *blushing* Hi my sweet blog friends!! Boy O' Boy this week is flying by!! I have a super quick post for you today. I actually whipped up this card last night, because I didn't have anything to post for today~not sure if my stamping mojo was present or not, LOL!! It is very clean and simple, that is for sure. I hope to get a visit from the brown truck today *woot woot* My new PTI stamps will hopefully be in 'da house' tonight!!! I just love the Pioneer Woman's blog~she is so down to earth!!! Last night I made this for dinner and it was YUM-O. It got 2 thumbs up by Mike and Josh (which means it is a keeper, and gets a smiley face rating!!). I even lightened it up a bit by using ground turkey (instead of the hamburg), fat free cottage cheese/sour cream, NO YOKES egg noodles, and less cheese than the recipe called for. I did however add some oregano, garlic, basil to the sauce (just seemed a little too plain for me). It is super easy to make and DELISH!!! Have a terrific "middle of the week DAY!!"

girl clutch...

Hi all! I hope you had a great weekend...are you ready for a new week?? I had a few moments over the weekend to whip up a couple of these clutches~aren't they super cute?? And I have to say they were so EASY PEASY to make (I am a non-sewer!!). I wish I could say that I was the creative mind behind this project, but I am not~the step by step directions are here. The hardest part of this project is sewing the button onto the potholder (since it is so thick). Of course I made one for my favorite daughter too~~ she was somewhat impressed with my sewing ability, LOL!! I found the cute potholder at Target. inside view: holds all kinds of important stuff, like bandaids, floss, nail file and girly stuff :) I have the day off from work, I am meeting a friend for coffee at my favorite place, running a few errands and then I am going to tackle Ashley's room~it has become a catch all for lots of random stuff (junk), and stuff (junk) Josh didn't want in his room anymore, but doesn't want to throw out either~sheesh!! I don't want to be featured on this show!! I will take before and after photos (even though I am quite embarrassed by the before!!), and post them on my 365 blog once it is completed (which will hopefully be TODAY!!). Have a fantastic day!

a circle thank you...

It's Fridayyyyy!! Can you believe that today it is going to be 99 degrees here in Phoenix~yikes!! So glad my sweet hubby had my a/c charged in my vehicle a few days ago, because I think I will def be using it today!! Here is another quick thank you card~I still have a few more to make *wink*.

I am still trying to use up my stash of patterned paper, which seems like it will take me forever!!! Hoarding is a BAD thing, LOL!!



Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?? I am going to be organizing Ashley's old room, since it seems to have become a catch all, after Josh went through all his junk (I mean stuff). I will try to remember to take before and after photos!

I am also working on a cute little non-stamping project, that I hope to complete and blog about next week~it is super cute and easy!!!

Don't forget that today is April Fool's Day!!

Have a FABULOUS weekend!!!
