Ouch!

Hi there!  Sure has been some crazy weather we've been having - sunshine, then rain, then sun again.  The trees and plants are blooming.  Hope you had a great weekend.  My weekend consisted of attending one of the local fish fries on Friday, another birthday lunch with another friend on Saturday, then that evening we had our granddaughter overnight.  So, for not having any plans (other than getting tax info together) it turned out to be pretty busy - and fun.  Except for the part of not getting tax info together and finding out that a good friend ended up in the hospital.  (Sending lots of prayers her way.)
A different friend had foot surgery a few weeks ago.  I remember seeing a really cute card that Pam D'Urso made of a foot in a cast, which fit the bill to wish my friend a speedy recovery.   Pam's card was made from the retired Stocking Builder punch you can see her card here - scroll down to Jan 9th post.   This punch is perfect to make a boot or cast.  Too bad it's now retired.  The sentiment is another retired item from the Love & Care stamp set.  It was just the right sentiment for this situation.  Sorry but I don't remember which set the flower image came from to make the background.  Hopefully, this card brought a little smile to my friend's face knowing that I was thinking about her.

Must sign off for now to get started on todays "To Do" list.  Oh, Dancing with the Stars airs their new season tonight.  Gotta watch that!
Take care and thank you for stopping by today!

Hi there!  Gonna post real quick the other cards from Camp held on Saturday.  Love, love, love this new background stamp, Hello Doily!  I used the Always Artichoke Denim ribbon that is new to the catalog this year.  It also comes in blue, which looks like jeans.  (Really? Blue looking like jeans?  Huh, how 'bout that!  lol)

Today we can register for the Louisville, KY Regional.  About half of the Pieces of Heart Stampers will be attending.  We have another Demo not affiliated with our group but we love her just the same.  Whoo Hoo!  Another road trip with my favorite Demo peeps!  This is an all day event - unlike the Branson Regional which was only a half day.  Looking forward to it!  A new adventure.  Never been to Louisville.

OK, I'm out of here - meeting friends for coffee.  Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Love & Care Received

Hi there!  Hope you're having a great day.  Just popping in quick today to show you the pretty card I received from my friend & up-line, Pam D'Urso.  As you probably know, we had a Starter Kit promotion last month.  Pam sent this card congratulating me on my new recruit!  Woo Hoo!!!  She's always so thoughtful!

This card just makes me happy!  The colors are so bright and cheerful.  I'll be CASE'ing (Copy And Share Everything) this card for sure!  Thanks, Pam!

More Stamp Camp Cards

Happy Friday!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  I'll actually be hanging around the house - organizing and packing supplies/projects for the girls getaway retreat next week.  The longer I pack, the more stuff I take!  I vow every time that I'm not gonna haul all that stuff next time - only to find myself doing it again.  One of these days!  Will it be this time???  Stay tuned.

The last two cards were made from stamps showcased in the Summer Mini catalog, which expires the end of this month.  So if you like them, you'll need to purchase before Aug 31.  If you do not already have a Demonstrator, I'd be happy to place an order for you!  Please see right side bar for contact information.
