Last Card....

For a little while at least. I've got a TON to do to get ready to leave my house, with my two kids, and leave my husband and 2 dogs behind until our baby decides to join our little family. I leave on Monday for San Antonio and I just have to tell you that I've packed nothing, and have a very short list made of "things to do" so I'm feeling a little behind. I won't have time before I leave to do any posting. For my own sanity, I'm going to try to take some stamping stuff with me for in our hotel room - I could potentially be there for FIVE WEEKS!!!! If I get stuff made there, I will see what I can come up with as far as uploading it. I'm not too sure how that will work since I will probably be using library computers and I doubt they want me to plug my camera in and upload pictures. So - it may be a while before you hear from me. On that note, I don't want everyone to forget about me. I've LOVED hearing from each of you when you comment on my posts and it makes me a little happier each day to see how many of you care. So - SUBSCRIBE to my blog so that you don't waste time checking to see if there's anything new. I have a subscribe bar through Feedblitz on the right, and Google Reader works really well too.

Here comes some ranting....I am putting in a negative plug for Stamping Top 50. Forever I've had their little icon over there and have enjoyed watching my number drop. Most recently I was at 123. That amazes me because I'm obviously no Beate or other such stamper/blogger, but at least there are people out there that like to check in on me. Anyway, one day the little counter just stopped counting, so I contacted them, and they never replied back. This is the 2nd time I've had an issue. The first time I figured it out with the help of some of you, but even then I asked the site for help and they never got back. I think they only want to have their site advertised by us and don't take the time to actually answer back, even though they say they usually take no more than 48 hours or so to do so. Well, it's been days since I asked, with no response. So, lesson here, if you think you want their little counter, have at it. When it stops working though, don't expect any help from the people you're advertising for!!!

Here's my card. Two things to say about it since you might not see the details: I stamped the background of the Soft Sky card with Soft Sky on my Canvas BG stamp, stamped off once for a lighter effect. I also distressed the edges of my Whisper White CS with my finger nail. This was a quick card I had to make 3 of to give as thanks to individuals/stores that donated products/items for the 72-hour kits I mentioned in today's earlier post. Enjoy!!
