Thank you’s; bookmarks; and more candy to the Pizza Box

You may have noticed I’ve been very quiet this week…and that’s because I caught the flu.  I have no idea if it’s swine flu, nor will I ever know because I didn’t go to the doctor.  The doctor’s offices/emergency rooms ask you to stay home, so that’s what I did.   I had three days off of work and I’m just starting to feel better.  I don’t think I’ll get as much done this weekend as I’d hoped, but that’s ok. I do want to say thank you for all the lovely comments about my bookmarks for the TTIC anniversary blog hop.  The bookmarks are available in my Etsy store and I plan on be making more.  I just finished a...

TwilightTuesday.com 1 yr Anniversary Blog Hop: The Love Triangle

Oh My Edward! Can you believe it’s been one entire year of Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenges? You should have come from Juanita's blog; if not, please go to TwilightTuesday.com to start the hop so you don’t miss all the fun! I chose The Love Triangle as my project topic. I haven’t participated in nearly enough challenges in the past few months, so I’m hoping this makes up for lost time. I’ve been very thankful for the success of my Twilight Inspired bookmarks in my Etsy store, and have been wanting to add some new designs. This topic was the perfect thing to get my mojo flowin’! I used Beth’s/ Stamp Insanity Stamps...

Gobble Gobble!

  Perhaps this is terrible timing, with the recent  H1N1 outbreak in turkeys…but what can you do? I had a day off today to attend some appointments, and was looking forward to a day of stamping.  However, Fate had another plan for me today.  I went to (finally!) reinstall my printer today, and as I plugged the USB cable in, my mouse and keyboard ceased to function. This happened last week, for 3 days, but I plugged in my work keyboard and a spare mouse.  A few days rest for the entire computer and they were back up and running.  Not the case today.  After muttering a few choice words in Italian, ...

Friends + Stamps = Bliss! and BLOG CANDY!

One of our Stampin Sistahs assignments is to use the Stamp Insanity Stamps for an ABC- Anything But a Card. If you’ve been following me along for a while, you’ll know I love to make the mini pizza boxes from SCS.  I thought this was a perfect project for my ABC, I just had to choose which of the lovely Stamp Insanity Stamps I was going to pick! I chose a sentiment from the Meet Morgan and Henry set and available exclusively at Stamp Happens. This is a great set for any stamper to have, there are so many incredibly useful sentiments!   So here is my pizza box I wanted to use fall colours, but I think it ended up looking...

Meet Me at Merlottes

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I’m back in London and trying to get my computer back up and running. I found out today, that my backup of my files before I reformatted didn’t work. Ugh. So it’s going to take me a bit longer than I had hoped. Ultimately, I think programming Live Writer with all my auto links is going to take me the longest! Don’t you just love technology? I’d like to share with you a birthday card I made for Tonya a few weeks ago. I used the Otherwordly Loves, one of the premier releases from Stamp Insanity Stamps and available exclusively at Stamp Happens. For those fans of the HBO True Blood series,...

We now return to our reguarly scheduled programming

Hi folks!Well, it's been pretty quiet around here for a few reasons 1) main computer had a corrupt registry and I had to wait for the manufacturer to send me the backup disks so I could reformat it. Big thanks to C (Ethan's dad) for walking me through the process! and 2) a very busy work week with quite a bit of travel and overnight trips.With the home/main computer up and running,...almost; I'm still one-by-one reloading the printer, and specific programs I had on there I should be back to regular posting next week.I had planned to fool you and resume posting this past Thursday, but it's Canadian Thanksgiving and as I was on the train about to start up the laptop to write my post...I realized my jump drive with all my project pictures was safely sitting on my desk in London.I'm at my parents'...

Bah! Technology

Just a quick note to let you know I'm having computer troubles, AGAIN! My home computer is suffering from a corrupt registry. I'm trying to resolve the issue without having to bring it in, but since computers come preloaded when you buy them now, I don't have a recovery disk...I'm doing my best do get this resolved quickly, but it might be quiet around here since I'll have to use my laptop.On the other hand, this weekend is Homecoming, and I'm looking forward to forgetting my computer troubles and enjoying the big football game tomorrow afternoon! The halftime show this year is the Canadian Military Skyhawks jumping team...which I think means parachuting, but I'm not sure! And as always, our 28 time National Championship Cheerleading team is always exciting to watch...they win American competitions,...

Come have dinner with the Wild Flower Kids!

Yes, I know they’re stamps, but just give me a minute to explain. Today marks the 2nd release of Wild Flower Kids Rubber Stamp company AND their 1st digital release of Violet and friends! Today’s release is all about autumn.  The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, and it’s time to give thanks. I’ve invited the Wild Flower Kids to the table; well, really to help organize the seating arrangements. That’s right folks- place cards! The wonderful thing about digital stamps is that you can resize them for any project.  Rye is dressed in his Pilgrim best and measures 3.83” tall; he’s attached to a 3 1/4” wide by 2” high...
