My Life & More...

I've been "goodish"

Another Christmas card? YESSSSSS...this is the last one for awhile though...I think. Maybe. Maybe not. LOL 

I used those funny Holiday Grumplings from Taylored Expressions for this card. The sayings are classic and constantly make me laugh. I can't wait to send these out at Christmas. I will get them sent out BEFORE Christmas this year (positive reinforcement)!! LOL

So tonight I am whipping up a birthday card for a co-worker. I have it all planned out. Just hoping it comes out the way I have it laid out in my head. Keep good thoughts for me. 😁

I better get busy, have a great night & thanks for stopping by!

It's all fun & games...

Keeping it simple today. I mean, it doesn't get any easier than this people. EVERYONE can make this card...even...GASP! non-stampers! LOLOL

I used those funny little Holiday Grumplings from Taylored Expressions. They are pretty much me all wrapped up in a rubber stamp. Sarcastic = me. Nuff said. 🤪

Alrighty then, I need to jet. Got some stuff to do before I hit the sack. Hope you all have a FABULOUS evening & I will see you tomorrow!

I missed a day...oops!

It's the first day of February and I have a confession to make. My Starbucks Christmas tree is still up. I can't bring myself to take it down. I don't know what the problem is. LOL There is something about the way it turns on every night and stays on until I hit the sack. It's just sooooo CUTE! Perhaps I should just make a bunch of paper hearts to put on it for Valentines Day??? SUCH A GREAT IDEA!! I may have to do that. LOL

So I still have a few Christmas cards left to share. I used items from a few stamp companies this time...Avery Elle for the tree & star, Taylored Expressions for the grumpy elf and saying as well as a snow globe die from Memory Box. If you got it...use it, right? 

Today I am home making cards for hospitalized kids. It is a great way to volunteer and still do something I love...STAMP! 

Anywho, I better get moving. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by!

I've been good(ish) all year...

Still have a few more Christmas cards to share & then I can move on to the gazillion mermaid cards I made. LOL This is another card using the Holiday Grumplings from Taylored Expressions. I went a little crazy with this set. They are so fun to stamp, color & will keep you laughing the entire time. I mean c'mon, his wonky eyes are the BEST! 😜

Total random item... I was talking to my Mom tonight on my way home and was telling her how thankful I was that my Nubby, Eliza, came to stay with me & craft a few weeks ago. She, Eliza, really helped me renew my passion for stamping & coloring. Shoot, just crafting in general. I can't tell you enough how important it is to take time for yourself. Do something you love. Share it with those around you. (Right. I know. That means I can't hoard my cards. Got it. 🤣)

Alright, I better get. I want to finish a project I have sitting on my desk. Think "llamacorn." Don't judge. Just wait. heehee

See ya later & hey, thanks for stopping by!

Woo freakin Hoo

It's your birthday. Well, la-tee-dah. LOLOL I think the older we get this is how we start to feel about our birthdays. Not me, but some people. I pretty much start planning my birthday at the beginning of the year. I have to. No one else will and why would I want to be let down, right? Right. That being said, this year I am headed to Disneyland. I am hoping it will be decorated for Halloween. I AM SO freakin' EXCITED!!! Again, this is why I plan my own birthday. My only question is... do I invite my husband?? LOL

So what are you up to today? I have a butt full of laundry to get through and I should really vacuum the house but...my stamp room is calling. I think Frodo from the Lord of the Rings is also calling. Do I go to his aide? I might have to. Yeah, it's decided. I will do the laundry and then let Frodo know I am all his. It's been awhile. I think the visit will do us both good.

Alright, I better get going. Have a SUPER Sunday!

Is jingling halfway a thing?

These Holiday Grumplings from Taylored Expression crack me up. The looks on their faces are too much! It's hard to keep a straight face while stamping with them!! LOL

I decided to get a head start on my Christmas cards for this year and finished putting several cards together that I had colored images of. Don't hate me for showing them this early in the year (please? LOL) especially since we just finished with the Christmas season. Does it help that I still have two little Christmas trees up? I really need to put them away but I just can't bring myself to do it. Maybe in a couple of weeks...

Alright, I better get going. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card!
