absolutely nothing ... I itch to stamp yet I have no idea what to stamp ... isn't that weird? I get in those moods once in a while where theres tons to do but I don't feel like doing any of it and so I'm "bored"
I feel like stamping but it just seems so busy with my 5 year old home and my FIL here too......I know I would get started on something then get interrupted and never get around to finishing it! :confused:
Hopefully after Christmas is over I'll find the quiet time to get some done. I've already got the itch to do some spring/Easter cards :-D

Thank you's to two families whose children donated $50.00 to our agency for a needy family. The children saved their money all year. We went shopping today and delivered food for three meals, laundry soap, shampoo/conditioner/ toys/ etc.

LOL - I don't have TIME to stamp!!!! Between trying to fight a double ear infection/cold/sore throat, braving the malls to finish shopping, baking 16 dozen cookies, visiting friends, wrapping presents, and writing cards, (and visiting SCS once in a while ) my stamping has gotten neglected after Christmas maybe......

I'm thinking that Christmas Day I will be doing a lot of stamping as I anticipate being snowed in....I live in St Paul and we're suppose to get a whopper of a storm starting tonight...I'm suppose to host Christmas Day dinner which we may have to postpone til Saturday..if that's the case I'll be using some new Artistic Outpost stamps I bought recently..haven't had a chance to play with them yet.
I'm making a couple calendars/notebooks using the SU calendar stamps and a bind-it-all .. each one has over 450 stamps in them but it goes quickly and just need to do the covers now.
I made two cards with my new Tulipe Bigz die that came yesterday. I went to the gym this morning and did a little shopping so it was a really good day!
As my daughter is in Okinawa and my husband has to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I can spend as much time as I want in my stamp room. The problem is I'm just not feeling much like stamping. I'm hoping something on SCS will catch my eye and give me some stamping mojo!
My sister purchased a collection of gift cards and asked me to wrap them in a creative way for her. I think I will make something like a clothesline and hang them all on it. That's all I am making this week, but I have to admit I am excited at the thought of making Valentine's Day cards.

i just can't say no... when people ask for me to do projects!
i made a couple custom frames tonight for my son's boss. she had a quote for me to use... "worrying about the past or the future keeps us from taking joy in the present" love betty
she is picking them up tomorrow. they barely took me an hour maybe a bit more to make... and i will probably charge her $15-20 each!
I can't wait to stamp again!! I fractured my wrist and my foot in Oct 24 2009. Got my cast off my wrist Dec 7th - only to find I can hardly do anything with my wrist!! I have to go to physiotherapy 2 x a week for a 2 - 3 months! OH man!! I haven't been allowed to drive, can't cut up my food, you get the drift!! I cannnot wait to stamp again!!! Gradually I am getting my range of motion back in my wrist - soon we will start on regaining strength! OH many has it been a trying time!! sigh!

I live in the midwest, as well. Looks like I'll be snowed in for Christmas...so I'll be stamping. I just finished making holiday birdhouse gift sets (see blog for pics and deats) filled with nuts, raisins, and M&Ms. Now I am itching to ink up my new PTI sets from their latest release. I also have some digi-stamps I want to explore.
I need to make a few notecards for my dads sock with the new allis chalmers tractor stamp I just got. Every time I give him a card with the SU tractors on them, he says it's not an allis. I bought me a stamp and him one.

Deborah, I hope your wrist is better soon, I can't even think about not stamping!
ohhh it's been wretched!! Not stamping is bad enough, but not being to drive, or bath by myself, grocery shop - OH!!! On my way back to recovery though!! They tell me in 2 weeks my wrist might be strong enough to drive again!! Yeah!!!
Well... let's see. I'm definitely in on the digi stamp craze. I joined (2) spots for a Dustin Pike http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/ swap with his digi art. LOVE IT. Instead of 5 cards per spot, I made 10, so I would have extra's. I figured his frog, I could use as "Hoppy Birthday" cards. Dudley, the dragon, I could use extra's for Easter since it has the peep.
Next I really need birthday cards. I'm part of the IWIA Stampers in Baltimore, MD and I send birthday cards to every member... so that's about 35 cards a year (so far.... they are growing). I need to get my booty going with birthday cards. Only if I can get my tushie off of the computer!!! HAHAHHA

Oh my...where did you get an Allis Chalmers stamp? My dad sold Allis tractors in the 50's, 60's & 70's. They are VERY DEAR to my heart! My screen name reflects that.

I'm stamping DH Christmas card from me and each of "the girls". The only thing I've stamped in a couple of months have been the 100 Christmas cards I mailed. Anyone else I needed to send a card to I had to pull out of my stash. I'm hoping after the first of the year things will calm down and I can really get back into stamping.
Now if I could just motivate myself to start scrapbooking! I just don't know where to start and I LOVE making cards!
I have today off and then the weekend. I will have to find time to stamp and get off the computer LOL. Waiting to open presents is hard. Hoping to get some nice things for christmas. Hopefully i will do some cards to upload here.
I'm going to finish off some card fronts today into cards so I can get my package off to Operation Write Home. Then take another look at my early January swaps.........Sure already having a wonderful start to the holiday! Merry Christmas everyone!

And you're even editing your post for a typo, LOL.
My sympathies - I can remember being like that with a badly cut and stitched finger, but only for a week! That was bad enough, I can't imagine months...and not being able to wash your hair. Yikes...
So what are you stamping this week?
