Ding Ding Ding

We have 2 winners. Tanis and Colleen. The boys printed out all the comments from the last week, cut them up, folded them, and put them in a tupperware bowl. There were so many pieces of paper we decided to send 2 gifts.

Oops

I was going through my PILE of files for taxes this morning, and guess what I found? This beautiful card from Allison. This the Holiday card that she sent to me. Isn't it adorable? I think I already said thanks, but in case I did not -- BIG thanks Allison!!!!!

Every year I have the best of intentions with preparing my taxes, but EVERY year I wait until the last minute. I knew we were going to have to pay this year, but to my surprise we only owe $19 -- YIPPEE!!!!!

It's Official

It is OFFICIAL I am the luckiest, most blessed stamper in the world. I received another RAK again today. Count 'um -- that is 4 days in a row.

I loved this card from Beth. I asked her when she purchased this stamp, 'cuz I thought it would be perfect for my boys. She could not remember where she found it. Being the sweetheart that Beth is --she sent 5 images for me to play with. Thanks so much Beth -- Great big hugs!!.

I hit the Jackpot

OK, I am so thankful this week. Here is another RAK, that is 3 days in a row -- how lucky am I? I wish you could see me, I am grinning from ear to ear. Isn't it funny how a little handmade card can brighten your day?

This one is from Deb. Thanks so much Deb -- it is beautiful. I love the cupcake -- yum!!!

I do want to say again how all the ladies in this stamping community are so incredibly WONDERFUL. Everyone is just so great -- love ya!!

Happy Mail

I am so lucky -- I received a RAK today, that is 2 days in a row. Can you see me smiling (insert BIG happy grin)

This card is from Melissa. (THANKS SO MUCH Melissa!!!) Isn't it beautiful? I absolutely love her butterflies -- and now I have one for my very own -- Yippee. I know you think I am silly, but she really creates the most beautiful butterflies.

Such a Pretty One

This is such a pretty card from a VERY pretty lady. I received this Thank You card from Miss Jen. (Big Thanks sweetie). I just love the colors on this card -- so springy.

I think I am going into card withdrawal. I have not created anything in a week --GASP--. Last week was just so terrible with all the migraines, (happy to report that as of Sunday no Migraine -- knock on wood). Then I spent the weekend at my parents. This week has been catching up on homework projects. Why-O-Why do they ALWAYS wait until the last minute?

I am dying to do the color challenge for today. Soft Sky, Basic Grey, and Whisper White. I think that is such an elegant color combo. I do not look at the challenge galleries until I am finished with my card, but I know that the ladies on SCS probably have created some masterpieces. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to create my card.

Bad Girl

I had today off from work -- Dr's Appointments. Well I decided to go through my emails and pictures. I have been a BAD girl. I do not think I posted these goodies for you to see. I have a RAK from Teri to add and a Pay it forward from Flossie too, (I will post them tomorrow). See I have been so bad. Sorry Ladies, hope you can forgive me.

This is a Holiday card from Jen. She sent some cute pictures of her family. She has the cutest boys (yes Charlie too)

This is a bookmark that Shannon sent me -- I think this one was from November too.

This one is from Paula G -- I think I received it back in November. Don't ya just love the colors?

A Request

I saw the following post on Tanis' site. We all make so many cards, and this is such a good cause.

Wilna, over at http://www.wilnaf.blogspot.com/ has the following request:

"I have a friend, Lois. She is 40 years old and has cancer. She is in pain and needs positive, uplifting people to remind her continually to live and that life is worth living. She has an amazing husband and four beautiful kids. The doctors are not giving her long to live, but I believe that God is the author of life. And I know you believe that too...

If you want to be entered into this awesome draw for a RAK(and if anyone want to contribute prizes, big or small, please email me) then this is what you are going to do: take 10 minutes of your time and create a card for Lois. A card that speaks of life and laughter, of fun and flowers. A word of encouragement, maybe your favorite scripture.

Take a picture of it and upload it HERE for all to see. Then you post (mail) it to her. I visit her every day and I will make a list of all the cards she gets and I will let her draw names out of a hat for winners.

The deadline for all the cards to reach her in Canada is March 20th. So, if you want to play (and I hope every single person that reads this will) make her a card, and post (mail) it. THAT's how simple it will be.

Please email me: wilna71@gmail.com if you want to participate. I will email you her address.

Those who are willing to add this little {ART} flower to your blog to help me get the word out, will be in my good books for life. You can just right click the image and save it to your computer and add it to a side bar. Please link THIS post to it."

RAK from Flossie

Look at the beautiful card that Flossie sent to me. I love the bright happy colors!! Thanks so much Flossie!

PIF-- RAK from Kathleen

I forgot to show you the card that Kathleen sent to me for the Pay It Forward Tag. I love the colors on this one, isn't it so adorable?

I also wanted to show you another picture of the little wooden tote box. I think it was covered up to much in the picture from yesterday. I have to tell you that this is truly gorgeous IRL, I am not sure you can really appreciate it in this picture.

Thanks again Kathleen -- you are the greatest!!

Lookie Lookie

I received these BEAUTIFUL things in the mail today from Kathleen. She sent me this for a Pay It Forward Tag. I absolutely LOVE everything. BIG thanks and BIG hugs Kathleen!!! She is such a talented lady.

There is two spools of ribbon. A magnetic clip (that is going on the fridge -- never have enough of them) A GIANT close pin (with my initial on it), and a pretty box/tote. Everything is just so GORGEOUS.

Now I need to tag three others. I will think about it and get back to you about who I am going to tag. I am sure about 2 ladies, I just need to pick one more. How am I possibly going to pick only 1 more?

RAK from Jen

Look at this adorable Lollipop holder. Jen sent this to me for Valentine's Day. Isn't she sweet? BIG thanks and hugs Jen.
