Grab a chair *before* reading!

Ok, you have a chair? You are sitting down? Here is the news -

This Thursday, December 10th - at our stamp night, we will be........ EMBOSSING!

I know, i know... aren't you glad I told you to sit down?

For those of you who may not know me that well, it isn't really a big secret, but I really hate to emboss. It isn't hard, I know. I love the look, but I am a simple stamper. I prefer my items to be no fuss, no mess. I don't like to have to get out extra tools, etc to complete something - so I rarely emboss (and don't even ask me to get all in to the most recent rage technique if I have to gather up a bunch of stuff to do it!!). So - quick, nice, simple - that's me!

But - just for you all. Just cause I love you.... we will be EMBOSSING on Thursday (so don't ask me to do it again for another year! LOL)

December is here... oh my!

I don't know about you all, but I am not ready for December. Besides the usual hub bub, I also am stressed out about a trip my scouts are taking to California. I am sure it will go well, but can't do it with out worrying I guess!

I am looking forward to stamp night because even though it is stressful right before - I really enjoy the relaxing, chatting, and stamping with friends.

Last month we made this cute singing reindeer - entirely from punches (ok, the antlers are a Sizzlit) - I CASED this sample from another SU! demo - changed the papers used - but I just love that people have this great creativity! The chunky glitter is really cool too!

Please remember to mark December 10th on your calendar for this month - EVERYONE is welcome!

Stamp Night Update

We missed several of you at our October stamp night! It's that time of year when everyone is really starting to get busy with sports, holidays, etc. I hope that you can set aside some time for YOU and join us at our November and December stamp night!

Due to some timing (regular stamp night falls on my anniversary, and while I think I would rather be stamping, I am sure that Les wouldn't feel that way!) We have had to make a couple date changes.

• November Stamp Night will be held on Tuesday, November 17th


• December Stamp Night will be held on Thursday, December 10th

Mark them on your calendar and come join us for some relaxation, chatting, and stamping!!

What did we make for October?

Time to start thinking about gifts - for you!

Do Spiders Have Noses?

Last weekend I attended a fun stamping event in Red Lodge. We spent time stamping, visiting, eating, and having fun!

These are two of the make & takes we did! Aren't these spiders just so freakin' cute! So simple - just use the scallop circle punch, photo corner punch, and various small circle punches for the eyes and nose. In the middle - are chocolate covered mint candies.

We also played with the Big Shot. We used the Pillow box die to cut out of halloween DSP to make quick treat favors (and of course put chocolate inside!!)

I love spending time with Friends and other stamping enthusiasts. Are you interested in attending a big event like this? Maybe a retreat? Let me know! I would love to plan one for our area!

Mr Big Shot.... who do you think you are?

I know... now you have that song running through your head and it won't go away.... sorry!

Last night was our stamp night - if you were not able to make it - mark your calendar for next month (October 23rd). We had a lot of fun visiting and playing with the Big Shot.

Would you like to give it a try? Let me know - I am sure you will love this machine as much as I do.

Peace, quiet, and even a little work

School has started for the Pod Children! YIPPEE!! (I know... bad mother, but really.... it is nice with no one to bother me all day!) Pod#1 started 9th grade, and Pod#2 started 6th grade, and *REALLY* they were both excited to go back to school. It is so nice to get everyone back on a normal schedule, and I am looking forward to regular activities like sports, scouts, etc.

Each year I take a first day of school picture and a last day of school picture - I love seeing how much they change from year to year, and even from start of school to end of school! Someday... I'll even scrapbook them! LOL

So... here is to all you other mothers out there waiting for school to start..... enjoy the moment, because just as you get all comfy, the school bus pulls up to drop them off again!
