Just checking in

I know, I know... I keep saying I'm going to post more but I really mean it now. I've been getting email updates of Buffy Cooper's blog and it's so much fun to read. She tells about the things that happen in her life each day and then adds a card, bookmark or some other paper craft. OK--that's my goal! I will try to blog at least once a week and add something new each time.

I am sitting here today watching it rain and waiting on the possibility of snow. Snow doesn't happen very often around here so a few flakes makes everyone a little crazy. I've tried all day to get into the stamp room. All I can say is that my bathrooms are now completely disinfected. Why does that seem to take all day? Hopefully after supper I will head upstairs to get a few things done.

Off to check on the dogs, finish the tortilla soup that's for supper and then off to play in the stampin' room. I'll post a picture of my creations soon. I have a stamp camp to plan so I'll have some fun samples soon.
Happy Stampin'!

It's almost track out time!

Well, for those of you who understand what track out is, you know why I'm so excited! I teach kindergarten at a year round school. We are in for nine weeks and off for three weeks all year. Well, our next three week break is coming up on Friday. I plan to spend my time making cards and scrapbooking some--I am so far behind on that. I know, I should start the digital scrapbooks but I really like the feel of touching it to put it together. I love our My Digital Studio and use it for a lot of things. I may try to start doing some hybrid pages. That's when you do some digital and some traditional scrapbooking. I'll keep you posted. I'm working on cards this weekend for my next Stamp Buffet. My girls have 10 cards to choose from and can make as many as they like for a set price. If you're interested, contact me and I'll tell you more about it.
We're also working on the Stampin' Studio. We have all the drywall up and are trying to mud the seams. My husband, Marc, is a perfectionist and doesn't like the way it works so he's now at Lowe's trying to get something else to see if that works better than what he got in the first place. :)
Well, until next time,
Happy Stampin'!

New Year's Resolutions

I'm not sure how many of you actually check my blog but my New Year's Resolution is to try to post at least twice a month. I vow to be in the stampin' room more often to show things I'm creating and since my husband is working on my Stampin' Studio, I need to prove to him that I'll use it! I hope everyone has a great New Year. Stay safe! Happy Stampin'!

The Stampin' Studio

Hi everyone--
Here are a few pictures of the Stampin' Studio! I am so excited. We are doing the mud on the sheetrock sometime this weekend. It won't be ready for my January event but we're getting closer. Happy Stampin'!

Audrey's birthday invitation

Here's an invitation I made for my daughter's birthday which includes a zoo trip. It turned out very cute. I got the idea from someone on Stampin' Connection! Thanks!

I've been stampin'!

Hi everyone! I finally got in my stampin' room and whipped up the cards for my Stampin' Buffet in December. We'll be making 5 birthday/general cards, 6 Christmas cards and tags. The cost is $10 for the first 8 cards then $2 for every card over that. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Happy Stampin'!
