fresh & fun

Yesterday I send one big flat rate box full of cards to Dawn Griffith. There were about 13o cards in there. She will send them to her husband in Iraq. Thank you so much for your positive feedback and letting me recycle your gorgeous birthday cards this way!!!!

 I am also very excited to report that I am DONE with my secret stamping. Everything is packed up and ready to out tomorrow! I can’t stop smiling. Tomorrow I will stamp whatever I want! I get to play with my new goodies. And there is my silly grin again! Bring on the Sketch challenge!!!!!

Emily Giovanni’s birthday is today. Emily is our Color challenge hostess on SCS and a design team member for GinaK. Contact me if you want to send her a birthday card and I will give you her address. Or visit her blog Stamping and Stuff and wish her a wonderful birthday

Yesterday was a great  mail day ! Not only did I get my goodies from Eclectic Paperie in the mail, I also got RAK’ed big time.

I couldn’t believe it when I opened Jennifer Langton’senvelope! She send me gorgeous ribbon, a great post it note holder, a card and an Inky Attics stamp. She said she wondered why I am not using stamps from that company. Well….this gorgeous turtle is my first Inky Attics stamp. Not too long ago I didn’t buy anything but Stampin’ Up!: Designer paper, ribbon, stamps. Then I started buying ribbon from Cindy, aka Starlitstudio. Next Joy and Daisy opened her wonderful online store, Eclectic Paperie and BAM….I can’t stop buying things from other companies.

Jennifer, you didn’t leave your SCS name, nor your address on your envelope or card. Please email me with your snail mail address. The least I can do is send you a Thank you card! Thank you for your wonderful gifts. Jennifer emailed me. Check our her blog Doodleblog.

Mail was international yesterday. This gorgeous card is from my Canadian blogging buddy Allison Fillo. You all know and love her blog. I don’t know how she does it, but she knows what’s going on in the cyberworld and she keeps us informed. She lists blog candy and tutorials….She is amazing! If you haven’t found her blog Stampin when I can (which I seriously doubt), make sure you check it out!

I love to shop for stamping supplies. Eclectic Paperie is my favorite “dealer” (yeah…it’s like drugs for me!). Here is my newest fix that came in the mail yesterday.

I followed your advice and got the stickle colors you all recommended. EP got the Pollen Dust Fancy Pants stamps back in that I was drooling over. I had to get those along with their Alphabet and word set. Then since Cami made these gorgeous samples with Paper Salon’s flower set….guess what? I NEEDED it! LOL Rounding it out were some Prima flowers. EP was out of the pink ones…..I will stalk the store until they are back in.  I need those too.

 Opening the box and taking out all my new goodies felt sooo good. LOL
