July Projects

Well, I hope to do some stamping soon, but tweaked my back today moving some furniture with my husband. I guess that's what a 1-foot height difference does to you when you're on the "short end of the stick" and you're lifting heavy furniture with a person that's not short ;)

So, for now, enjoy these featured July projects from SU!

Happy Stampin'!





Thanks to Michelle Laycock for putting the code to these (along with a lot of the side-bar buttons that I use!!). She designs fabulous layouts for blogs, if you're a blogger....

Stamping?????

I am hopeful that with my Master's class ending, after I get back in town in July from a family reunion, that I will be able to STAMP!!!!!!

I did teach my daughter's classmates how to make a shirt card (the origami type), so I "kind of" paper-crafted this week! ;) It's so that all of her classmates who have fathers that are deployed "over there" for the Air Force will have time to mail them to their daddies. It's things like these that military members have to always be aware of - you can't wait until a week before to do crafts with kids that are gifts for their parents, as many of them need about 2 weeks to mail them off.

Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that starting in the 2nd week of July I will be able to share some stamped goodness with you.

Oh, and I got my BRAND SPANKIN' NEW 2010-2011 SU! Idea Book and Catalog, and there are few things that just tickled me pink!!! There are adhesive rhinestones and pearls - YAY!!!! There is an adorable build-a-monster stamp set (perfect for my kids, especially my little man), and I just LOVE the new option for getting textured card stock with your smooth card stock by the color, rather than having to buy an entire color assortment to get the one that you want. There's more, and the catalog is GORGEOUS, but I've got to run!!!!

Happy stampin'!!! (if there's anyone still checking in on me ;) )

Just wanted to get this info on here really quick. Still busy, busy, busy. Still a demo...will keep that up as long as I have customers that want to buy and my minimums are met by those purchases ;) Have a lovely night!!

I've Realized...

that I don't have much time to post. No crafting time, certainly!! :(

My first class is going really well. It's hard to manage my time so that I get peace and quiet to work when I'm not already tired from a whole day of other "stuff", but I'm still managing to keep my 100% even when I have to write a paper with Daniel climbing all over me.

We were so happy to have my parents come visit this past week for a few days. I did a good job of taking pictures, but in looking at them on the computer, I see that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has someone blinking, or about to talk, or with chocolate all over their face (Daniel) such that it looks like he's sticking out his tongue becuase of the chocolate and the way the shadows hit. There wasn't one picture where everyone was okay. But, that's part of the fun too, I guess. I'll share a few below. I'm trying to decide if I should share the one of my mom with candy in her teeth - she put a bunch of green Jujubees on her teeth to show the kids how funny it would look and then obliged with a picture. Can we say "blackmail"? :)

So, enjoy the following pictures.

These first pictures are from when our friend/neighbor James took us to see a C-5 that was being de-constructed (not totally, though) for tests before being put back together again.




We got to go up 7 stories on one of 3 of these structures in the Air Force that gets up up on the tail of the C-5. Here's Daniel looking down at someone....

Who is that?


Oh! It's Nana!!! :)


We went down to Rehoboth beach for the first time, to check it out with my parents. I told you someone is doing something/making a face in each picture.... :)


Here we are outside of a candy store. Everyone was excited except for Sarah.

Here is everyone in the car with their candy.

This one of the kids enjoying some eggs that a friend left in our yard for us is priceless. Don't they look so happy staring into the sun?!?! I totally crack up whenever I look at it :)

This is our goodbye picture. Nana and Baba had to hit the road after we walked the girls to school after taking this picture.

It sure was a fun visit and everyone was sad to see Nana and Baba leave. I hope we get more of them. We love visitors!!! :)
