May Day!

Hey, I know I missed it! What a whirlwind life's been lately! Sheesh!! Kimberly and I did really well at the craft fair at our school. Then again, we have always done really well when we are together. She's the business, I am the mass producer! hehe. My rub-on mugs sold out! Here's what it looks like. They were all different, of course but they went like hot cakes. I also bought mugs that were decorated for Mother's Day and they sold out as well!

This is the first time I didn't completely sell out and I am thrilled!! Want to know why?

TERRITORY DAYS!

Yes, I am completely terrified! They are expecting up to 100,000 people this year! YIKES!! I have a feeling we will sell out in 1 day! We are trying to get most of Kimberly's Colorado Demonstrators to help us out!

Well, I better get to work, I have lots of things I want to make for this Three Day bash! Wish me luck!!

Deployment

This was created for my husband. He is deploying on Sunday at the UNGODLY hour of 6 AM. We have to be at the airport BEFORE 4:30 AM!!! WTF?????? Oooops... sorry, my Jersey came out for a moment there...

At any rate, this is my version of a coaster calendar. The husband is taking it with him. The calendar only has 4 months on it. The 4 months he will be gone. I circled his first day of duty, our son's birthday and his last day of duty there. He said he will cross off each day as it passes. He also told me he wants to refill it once he gets home.

I also included a picture of the cover. I colored the soldier with the dessert colors... since he will be in the dessert.

Today was a hard day for me. We attended a celebration at our son's classroom. As my husband walked in the children sang our National Anthem. Each child read a poem using either the letters from the word Leader or the word Hero. To hear my son recite his poetry from the word Leader just... yikes...

After that Mrs. Edwards played some music and we all acted silly and danced. I was glad for that part of the celebration. Now, thinking about the day, I am just sad.

Sassy Susie

I think the general feeling about this stamp set is... people love it! I have to admit, I would vote for Susie if she ran for President of the US! This set cracks me up.

You know what I love more about this set? The way it stamps. The font is so clean when you stamp it. It looks like it printed into the paper. At any rate, I made this card for my sister's birthday. She turns 58 this year!

At any rate, Mary M. suggested once again that I update my blog. Here you go Mary! Just for you!! LOL! Don't worry Peggy, I didn't forget you either! LOL!

I watercolored Susie - I tried to put in a shadow, a sun, added rouge to her cheeks, a lipstick print on the mug and such. I added bling to Susie by making her earrings and necklace gold. I even gave her sparkly eyeshadow. What do you think?

Hot Spot - Target's $1 Spot

You gotta love Target's $1 Spot! - I found the cutest stuff in there! This came out around Valentine's Day but I was waiting to decorate them. I used rub-ons, ribbon and sprayed the rub-ons with a clear acrylic glossy sealer just to make sure the rub-ons don't rub-off!

I went back today, they had 3 tiny white pails for $1 (they were with some "wedding" items). They also had white pails (that were larger) with hearts cut out near the top. I didn't get any of those, but they were cute!
