Loonie Stampers Challenge #66


Well Happy Friday the 13th!!! hehe
So this Friday is Maria's Selection of the Loonie Stampers Challenge and
I LOOOOOOVE it (try to imagine me singing that word) These colors are marvelous!
Thanks Maria!!


Again I have turned to one of Lauren Meader's Templates to get me through this project. By that I mean that I am preparing for a Christmas Craft Show (which I will be at by the time you read this) and so multi tasking is the key! I have made 10 stationary sets like these in different colors that I will be offering to Monogram while they wait!!

I started by stamping my Giga Stamps on the grid paper from Papertrey Ink in My SU Grey (didn't have any soft stone) and also in my Aqua Mist. Then I used the little images from GL 1 & 2 stamped in new leaf and enchanting evening. I have to say I love the grid paper because i just do NOT have the patience needed for stamping the grid myself....LOL

Each set I made has 3 stationary sheets and 6 note cards. There is a monogram circle on each piece of the set ready for me to add an initial.



The 3 photos above are the cards also included in each set. Then of course I have the envelopes and a pen made to match with a few simple knots of ribbon on the lids!! I hope I sell them all!!

Thank you so much for coming in to see me today and
I hope you scoot on over the visit the girls!!!

I will be back...

Just wanted to stop by and let you all know that I will continue with my regular posts as soon as I can. Just finishing up preparation for the craft fair today and I did mean to have all of next week scheduled already but I ended up getting way behind as I had food poisoning from a sandwich I bought. That knocked me out and stole away 3 days of anything for me.....I am much better now and getting caught up.....well sort of.

I also have to drive to Calgary this week to pick up my world traveling mother from the airport so maybe late this week or early next I can share some of her pictures from the Dominican Republic!

Oh and don't forget to come by tomorrow for the LSC!!!
I have a GREAT project scheduled already!!!

I Quit, I Quit, I Quit!!!

Smoking that is. After a disgusting 18 years of smoking (yes I am only 30 so insert ashamed face here) I have finally quit. My husband as well. He was visiting some guys her used to work with and he said hey lets go for a smoke and they all said nope we don't smoke. SO they told him about the book Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking. He went and bought it, read it and quit as soon as he was done the book.
He came into my office and dropped the book on my desk and said I am done. I said oh you are done the book and he replied No I am DONE smoking! So I read the book finished it the following day and I am SO done as well. It is AMAZING that by the time you are done the book your desire to smoke is completely gone. No withdrawls, no crabbyness, no urge to eat and cause weight gain. Nothing but easy sailing. I have tried to quit many times before and never successfully I have NEVER quit until now!

So if you smoke....PEOPLE GO BUY THE BOOK ITS $20 and SO WORTH IT!!!! I have been quit for 7 days today and my DH for 9 days! Thanks for letting me share my accomplishment with you today!!

Speaking of ink, I accidentally left the lid off my oure poppy ink pad last night...Damn!
