This was a Christmas gift I made using the Dasher and 24-7 Friend Stamp Sets. You can't tell from the picture, but the antlers are More Mustard and have dazzling diamonds on them!!

I made this candy holder using some new DSP and a new stamp set. I made a smaller version of this with the snowman and kiwi kiss holder. This one was made bigger to hold a full size candy bar. I just LOVE our new Sending Love DSP #117153 that is in SU new Occasions mini catalog.

I also used Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla Cardstock.

I'm BACK!!

Hello Everyone!! I'm back from vacation, but am so sick. I was sick the entire time we were in Florida, but kept pushing cuz you go to Disney World whether you are sick or well!!! I was not that sick at the time, just a terrible cough that kept getting worse and led to an asthma attack that I had NEVER had before. What a scare that was! I have a rescue inhaler cuz I was told last year I had asthma, but had never had to use it til that night. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. Luckily it worked and I was probably more panicked than I was sick.

We got home on Monday, only 11 hours to drive from Orlando to home, my sister said we were like a pit crew coming back. My son would fill up, Sarah and I would go to the bathroom and then I would finish filling up and off we would go. The kids could not wait to get home to see their friends, cuz you know family is nothing to them right now!! We did not even stop to EAT!! We drove through a Sonic cuz they both wanted cherry limeades. And we ate as we drove. I drove for 9 hours feeling sick, but just wanting to get home and then Rob drove the last 2 hours. We were very lucky, hardly any traffic (all going South) and it was just a nice drive.

I went to the doctor the next day and I have a terrible sinus infection and upper respiratory infection and am on antibiotics. Can't wait for them to kick in!!

Going to see the broadway show Legally Blonde tonight, we have season tickets, so don't want to miss that!! We are suppose to wear pink, there is a group of like 16 of us that go and all I can think is that I want to rest, but I will be a trooper and look for something pink and hopefully not cough during the show!

Tomorrow I'm hoping the meds will have fully kicked in and I can get to stamping. I have new goodies that I can't wait to play with. I have 2 hostess clubs meeting soon and need to make some projects for that. I plan on having a few classes and maybe start looking for a part time job.

Ok, I've rambled on enough. I will put something Stampin' soon on my blog.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas and enjoying it with the ones you love!!

Away on Vacation

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted yall to know that I will be away from my blog for a couple of days. We are visiting Mickey for Christmas and I didn't bring my computer with me. I'm borrowing my son's, but his computer is different than mine and I can't upload any pictures. As soon as I get home I will have some picturs to upload.

This card was made by Sherry Collett, one of my downline. She used the #113992 Tea Party DSP for this card.

Birthday Easel Card

This cute birthday card was made by Lynne Uzzell. She made an easel card and used the #111618 Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp set. Didn't she do a great job!! I love the color combination that she used for this card!

Tag Holder

Here's a cute little tag holder that was made by Pam Snider. She used the SU Table Setting #116819 sizzix die. She also used the snowflake punch #116628, real red 1/2" striped grosgrain ribbon #110714 and the Merry Moments DSP #115672. Didn't she do a great job?

These girls really came up with some cute simple projects. I told them their projects should only take 15 mins max. because we had like 16 projects to make. I think they all accomplished that with their projects. Now it might have taken some ladies longer to make them because of all the talking, laughing, and carrying on they did, but isn't that what a fun Stampin' Up! party is all about?!!!

Shoe Box Swap

I'm going to post a few of the shoebox swaps that we did at my hostess "thank you" party. All the girls did a fantastic job. I did not get pictures of all of them. I will put some of the ones I did get pictures of.

This little cute mouse was made by Patty Shipley, one of my downline. Isn't it just the cutest little thing. It was put on a triangle box with 3 candy kisses inside.

Packaged Scallop Candy

These are peppermint patties (not the York brand) that have the scallop punch on top and bottom and then decorated. I put them in a pretzel rod bag. I got the idea from Inking Idaho.
