The Stampin' Up! kitty

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, lived a handsome kitty named Chico. His favorite place to sleep was in a box. It was no ordinary box. It was a Stampin' Up! box.

Sure, he had free-reign of the house. Sure, he could choose any human-bed he wanted but nothing felt as comfortable as his Stampin' Up! box. He could customize his comfort by adding or subtracting that famous brown packing paper.

Luckily, his owner was a busy Stampin' Up! demonstrator. He could pick a new bed every few days! LOL

JUNE????

Holy cow! It's not just June, it's more than halfway through it! Where did the time go? Well, I can tell you! I was fortunate enough to have my niece fly out to Colorado Springs for a visit. Then, I was fortunate enough to leave the day after she did to visit her! We went to NYC, BABY!! What a blast!

This photo was taken of my and my boys in front of my niece's office building in Jersey City. Oh, look at the view of the Manhattan skyline! There's only 1 thing missing from this view - *lowers her eyes* - the Twin Towers. This was my first chance to see NYC since 9-11-01!

I will be posting my projects for an upcoming workshop this weekend. Should be later on today or tomorrow!

I am going insane!

On Tuesday, I was coming out of Karate, I stepped off a curb, took one additional step over a puddle (while holding my 3 yr old's hand) and wham! My shoe turned in an I went down on one knee. People turned around and asked if I needed help. I am totally embarrassed and say, "oh no, I am fine." Turns out: I was not fine. I get the kids home, I walk up our steps and realize: I can't put any weight on my foot! I call the husband near tears. He leaves work and comes home to take me to the ER on base.

So, how well did I do? I broke one bone in three places, the 5th metatarsal. It's called a Jones Break. I haven't stamped in 3 days. I was told to sit on the couch and put my feet up! For a lot of people, it sounds like heaven... to me, HELL!!! I can't stand being on the couch. I have to stamp, I just have to!

I did however, receive me Scor-pal in the mail. I started to make nugget boxes with it. I have to admit, it is MUCH easier with the Scor-pal! All the other ways that I have been scoring aren't as accurate! I highly recommend this product if you are going to do any scoring!

I will post my finished box soon.
