I LOVE THESE STAMPS!

I found these stamp sets at the Scrapbook Expo last summer.  I just fell in love with the idea of stamping a front and a back, both of the lady and of the window.  It took me awhile to get them done though.  I colored them in with Copic markers.  Now I have to find an appropriate sentiment for the inside of the cards.  Aren't they cute?

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I found this book on Amazon and downloaded a sample for free on my Kindle.  I really enjoyed the sample so I purchsed the physical book because there are alot of artistic samples in it.  The Kindle is only in black and white and that's no fun.

The exercises in the book seemed very easy, fun and do-able for me.  I just ordered it and won't have the book until thursday or friday of this week.  The question is:  Should I wrap it and put it under the tree or just start it when I get it.  Hmmmmm? 

Go to Amazon and see inside this book.

Scrapbook Retreat Pics!

I had a wonderful time at the SB Retreat!  It was a success!  I completed 36 pages and a complete 5 x 7 album.  Mission Accomplished!!!  Everyone seemed pretty happy with everything that they were working on. We left the "Craftin' Cabin" a scrapbook page commemorating our stay.  Here are some pics of the fun:

Military Appreciation!

I want to take a moment to thank all of our men and women of the military, who have served past and present. 

Thank you - thank you - thank you!!!! 

All the sacrifices that you make or had made on a daily basis astounds me and I feel that there is no way that I could ever pay that back.  You lay your life on the line for freedom.  You have my undying respect, appreciation and devotion.  You'll always have a very special place in my heart. 

My Grandfather served in the Army during WWI.

My father served as a Marine in the Korean War.

My son is now serving in the U.S Army.

Many of my Uncles served during WWII.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE, OUT OF HARMS WAY!!!  COME HOME Y'ALL!!!
