Good Morning Sistahs!
Boy has it been a spell? I have been so incredibly busy this past week, that it just flew right on by. It has been a week of celebrations and I have loved every minute of it! I have to announce that it is official....I am the mother of a 17 year old. (Am I really old enough?) Seriously!! Not only was it my baby boy's birthday, but my fabulous mother-in-law's birthday too. So we had a party at our house on Sunday to celebrate both October Babies. If you ask me, we get the best of both worlds because they each got a different flavor of cake so everyone was sure to get their favorite kind. After a full week of concerts, rehearsals, and performances I'm ready to get back into the swing of stampin'!! Woo Hoo! I have lots to share with you all, but first things first.
Before I post any of the cards I've made recently, I have to share the RAKs I received from two of my bestest stampin' buddies...
This first one I've had a while, and I've finally had a chance to take a picture and post it. Dars calls these her donkey cards because she uses a brayer. (She's funny isn't she?) She has been practicing and practicing so soon she'll be the brayer princess...(me thinks
Michelle Zindorf will reign as Queen. You have to go and check out her
Night Owl card...it is gorgeous!! And the best part? She gives full tutorials!!!) But I digress....
Here is Dars' "Thankful" card:
Isn't it fun? I'm going to have to get a photo of some of her latest "donkey" cards, she just keeps getting better and better!
Next up, I have a RAK from the Pheebsters! She is such a talented stamper and I just can't say enough about her. I gave her this set a while ago, it was an old retired SU! set and I can't even remember the name of it. Anyway....she loves toile and did such a fabulous job with the red. I love the gingham ribbon and the bling brads. It reminds me of one of those bulletin boards, or a fancy French cushion.
So the story behind this card is that Phoebe mailed it to me, gosh about a month ago and I never received it. Luckily she had made an extra one for herself and brought it the concert on Thursday to show me. Well, of course I get home and I'm cleaning the house for the party and what turns up?? This card!! Yay! It didn't get lost in the mail, it just got lost in my house! So here it is, for me to share with you in all its glory.
Isn't this a great way to start the morning? With a RAK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!!!
Thanks for everything gals! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week!
Happy Stampin'
