Halloween, Shoes and Mary OH MY

Hello Friends,

I received this fabulous card from one of my very special friends, Mary Fish.  Not only I am Mary's friend - I am her SAM.  I get to work closely with Mary on a regular basis and I just love her to pieces. 

Mary is so creative.  I mean seriously I wouldn't mind if Mary sent me a note on a piece of paper but she always sends me the cutest cards. 

Just take a look at these!

Shock/Gasp/Horror but I am not a big fan of Halloween.  I love to see the kids dressing up in costumes but I am not a fan of the ghouls, ghosts and goblins. I do love the set that is in the Idea Book and Catalog  - "Wicked Cool."

And for those of you know me - you will know it is all about the shoes.

So another shock - I am going to have a Ghoulish Halloween class this year. I know! I know!  - this comes as a major shock but when you see awesome projects like these Mary made, it really makes you think......

It’s a grab bag of creepy cool images! This set includes anything you need to decorate the dark, dusty corners of any Halloween project. Pull them out for shrouding invitations, cards, tags, and scrapbook pages with some wicked mystery and intrigue. Available both in wood-mount and clear-mount.

Cards from friends

Hello Friends,

Today I received two more wonderful cards.  These were delivered to my desk at work.  It is always such an awesome surprise to receive cards.

This first one is from Cherie Hunt.  I was Cherie's SAM the year before last and I just adore her.  I first was in touch with Cherie when I worked as a DS Agent in the Contact Center.  I loved chatting with her and when I became her SAM we became much better friends.  Cherie earned the Alaskan Cruise so she requested me as her SAM again.  So excited to work with her. 

Isn't this beautiful?  Just love it

This card was made by Patty Bennett.  I am not Patty's SAM but we have had the chance to speak several times on the phone and I always love seeing her at all our Stampin' Up! events.

Love how Patty used the Paper Flowers behind the large scallop punch out.

Thank you so much for your kindness in sending us these cards.  It is great to make and send cards but even better to be the recipient.

A card from Mike

Hello Friends,

Over the next few days I will be posting cards that have been made and sent by wonderful people to my daughter Natalie or to us as a family.  This card was made by "Mike Funke" of the Stampin' Pretty PALS.  I was so happy to receive a handmade card from a guy.  I met Mike at Convention and oh what a wonderful guy he is.

I was really impressed that he used pink!  I LOVE pink.  Great combination with gray.

Natalie is doing so much better.  Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, prayers and well wishes and for the beautiful cards.  We really do appreciate you :)

Homegrown

Hello Friends,

There is a fabulous stamp set in the new Idea Book and Catalog called "Homegrown".  I really like the set but fail to see how I would use it.  I barely bake, rarely cook and definitely don't grow anything in a garden.

Here is the set -

So I got to thinking - the only thing that I have that was homegrown are my children :)  At Convention last week, we had a "Divas" Dinner and one of our new Divas who I had not met before - 'Brandy Cox' made an awesome, absolutely awesome swap using the 'Homegrown' set and this is what she came up with.  We were given the challenge to use a fun pun stamp set and 3 colors - Basic Black, Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler.

Oh it was the absolute favorite swap of the night.  Way to go Brandy!  Awesome creation.  Here is the other set used -

Wouldn't this make an amazing baby card? :)

Update and a card for all

Hello Friends,

We have received so many wonderful e-mails, phone calls, facebook messages and handmade cards - it truly has been wonderful.  Thanks so much for caring so much for us.  I really do wish I could send everyone of you a THANK YOU card.  As this is not possible for me to do - here is one for all of you.

Natalie is doing so much better.  It is so hard to believe she had such an horrific accident and not even one week later be at home with us.  We are truly a blessed family.  One of our friends told us we were really lucky.  I told her luck has nothing to do with it - God is in control and it truly is a blessing.  I took her to the hospital so they could clean, redress and wrap her feet.  Such a brave and courageous girl.

THANK YOU so much for your kindness and compassion.  We love you all and appreciate you.

Come back soon to check out some awesome creations using the most awesome products.

Have a wonderful day!
