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

Holiday's are a-comin'

Well, Stampin' Up! released the Holiday Mini for us demonstrators to peek at. Again, I am speechless at the items that are coming out. I was just getting settled into this new catalog and WHAM! They have me awe-struck yet again.

I was going to post something that I was working on but... I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it yet... I have one REALLY new project that I am super-excited about but it is DEFINITELY for the holidays. I am just not ready for them... yet! LOL

Check back tomorrow. I am going to post something, I promise.

Goofy Picture

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to post this picture of me. This was taken at our Demonstrator meeting. I was the Queen of Sales for the month of January in Kimberly's success-line. If you know me at all, you know that my fondness for pink is... well... not really there! I love Pink Pirouette but all the other colors of pink... The fuzzy pink tiara... the pink sash... and my pink shirt... UGH!!!

I am purple kind of girl. It is just so passionate. Anyway, I don't usually post pictures of myself... LOL - But this was just such a goofy shot... I felt the need to post it.

Coming soon: A class to knock your socks off! We will take a trip to the Funky Forest!! This class is done! I am working on the instructions this weekend. I can't hardly wait to show you. I am sitting on pins and needles! WOO HOO!!

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!

My Family

*grins*... so here we are. Too bad the All in The Family set doesn't have a hamster stamp. LOL!! That's the only thing we are missing!!

I have stuff to post!

Ok, so this is what I have learned! You can't keep this stamper down! LOL!!! I have a few things to post. I bought a new camera this weekend so I can take photos of the 12 x 12 scrapbook pages I did. None of the layouts are my own. They were part of a class I took at Kimberly's House! She has the pages on her blog.

I also did some goody bags for a "Tissue Tea" the Odyssey PTA had (an elementary school in Colorado Springs) on August 7th. I will scan the invite too.

Anyway... I will post all this stuff today. Check back in a bit!

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.
