Goodnight Susan and yes you let me know what I can do to help. Lauren sweetie, I am not going to bed. As much as I would love to I still have 6 pages of chatting to go thru so I can have pts done before tomorrow.
ok Dani, sorry I sometimes forget to read properly!! I am going to go back to my craft room, things are messy up there again.
Now I know I should be neat, and I can clean and tidy as I go, if I am making something without too much stuff on it.... but I have been doing background stamping and egg shells and painting and these things have to be put aside and gotten back to, it seems to me a waste of time to put all those things away several times in a day, I put the 'in reach' stuff away, but leave the 'other side of the table stuff' on the table and I am using the UTEE melt pot and wire too, so those things are on table space too... it looks bad and will be for a few days yet, but since this is the stuff I really get enjoyment from doing, I will just have to live with mess most of the time....
Not shocked just realizing that I must be a freak or something. I finish a card and I put everything away even the adhesive then I sit down and make another card then put it all away then make another and so on.
Ok ladies....I did it. Wheeew I finished looking at all 12 pages of chatter and finding everyones points. Y'all make me so proud not only do you make the most awesome cards but you keep the chatting up....I just love all y'all!!!! I have all the points written down however my rearend is sore from sitting so long so now I am going to get up and move about. As soon as I need to sit down again I will come and post points. Give me about 10/15 mins.
Location: In the Forest with my Forest Friends, of course!

Good Morning Friends!
Have a Thoroughly Terrific Thursday!
… and a great Friday and Weekend, too! I’ll see you next week!
... ♥ ... ♥ ... ♥ ...
Today is World Animal Day National Taco Day, National Golf Day, Cinnamon Roll Day, Improve Your Office Day, Ten-Four Day,
and Toot Your Own Flute Day.
Enjoy your holiday of choice today!
Please excuse the interruption, but here’s a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
reminding us that Children Are Wise!
A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday School presentation. His mother, sitting in the front row to prompt him, gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it didn't help. Her son's memory was blank.
Finally she leaned forward and whispered the cue, "I am the light of the world."
The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud, clear voice said, "My mother is the light of the world."
FYI - My two guys and I are going on a little trip.... so you won't see me here for a few days (the next Public Service Announcement will most likely be next Monday). I will miss you!
Good morning my AlphaFriends. Just so y'all know I have added the E points onto your pts. So if you look in the F wall of fame you can see your total pts. I haven't itemized them in the E wall of fame yet, however, I will. If you feel I have missed some points please let me know. And ladies I need you to PLEASE do me a HUGE favor; when you post your card please put the number of extra items that are on your card. It takes me forever to sit and count everyone's cards. You can either put it in the description of your card or in the thread when you post your card. That will help me out sooooo much!!!! Well I have my "F" card done so I am going to go take a picture of it. I didn't case anyone because I thought of that challenge after I made my card. Then I am hoping to get to lay down for a bit. Dawn has been sleeping 16 hrs now. Straight...can you imagine??? I can't even get 6 straight hrs...lol...ok I will be back with my F card. Jeanette, good morning.
Ok ladies, I have my card uploaded and ready for you to look at. I have a total of 5 items giving me 4 pts for extra items. foilage, fall brad, flowers, fall colors and faux leaves. I really hope you like it.
Good morning, we have frost on the pumpkins this morning BRRRRR!
I think I will celebrate cinnimon roll day, anyone up for a trip to the coffee shop this afternoon. See you there at 2:00! I would like to wait for the frost to melt before I go out, does that mean I have to warm up my car. Oh, winter is in around the corner.
Enjoy your day!

Good morning all. Lots of chatter to get caught up on...
Thanks Dani for all your work... I know what it feels like when things pile up and you have to try and crawl out from under.... but you did it.. Good on you.....
Susan would love to join you for that cinnamon bun..... I can almost smell it!!!!
Well I have issues wit my computer and printer that I have to figure out and then get inky..after I take my cousin to the airport and mail some cards.... Soo ladies hope you all have a time to do some crafting...... Lauren love your decorated scrap paper box...
My children: They continually fill my heart with love & joy; and they frustrate me at times. Last night, just as I was saying good-night to my youngest, she says “Oh, I wanted to give a card to Mrs. H who is leaving tomorrow.” How can I turn away such a loving, sweet gesture for a teacher? They need to feel appreciated. At the same time, I wanted to say “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”, but I didn’t. Instead, I went with the first feeling to support my DD’s kindness and stamped this fast card. It so happens to fit the Letter F challenge without even trying. How fortunately is that!
Susan -- Frost already? That is fast. Over here, we're hitting 100 today. Having coffee sounds good. Let's meet half-way. Where would that be?
Marion - You have a busy day. Hope it's fun-filled.
Dani - Thanks for all your hardwork. I think we can all put our total points on the thread and make it easier for you. Glad to do that! Pretty card you made for Letter F. Left you love.
Jeanette - Love the daily announcements and stories. Humor is a great way to start the day!
I am Extremely Excited! I received an Envelope in the mail just now with an Enjoyable assortment of goodies from Diane! Thank you so much for the prize for the E challenge!! I absolutely love the dp. And the stamped images...I don't have those stamps so it will be fun to color them and use on Christmas cards. It was Especially nice of you to write what type of ink you used so I can decided which coloring medium to use! I have to admit, no one does the alphabet challenge like you do! You have such a wonderful way of using the letter throughout your notes and projects! Thanks again, I love the package and it's always fun getting happy mail. I am still in my jammies. Had a headache and was trying to decide if I wanted to go shopping and just couldn't push myself. But feeling much better now.
I also was wondering about Lynn - has anyone seen her today??
Yes, I edited the card to show 6 instead of 5 and I also edited my post.
No Haven't heard a word from Lynn, that's why I was hoping she was just starting her birthday partying early....Hope she is having a good day....think positive.

Well. you need to edit it again & add another! I posted after you had added the 6th "F" found in your card - now, look at mine (snow is falling in a FLURRY) - you will have 7 "F"s!!

Girls I have not heard from Miss Lynn either, I lose track of the days on my working days, but on Monday her time she was not doing so good, and she has not really been about since. The cooler weather is not kind to her. We all know that Grumpy Bear will be looking after her. I am hoping she is doing ok and just has internet problems, or early celebrations for her birthday on Tuesday.
I miss my friend, we message every day. So please send good vibes to our Miss Lynn!!!
Hi everyone, great cards, great thinking great ladies Kathy, hope your headache goes away Glad Lynn was only having internet problems and not health ones!!! Wasn't on much today, have been trying out new things and branching out from card making. But.......I will stick with cards also Love all the chatter. And I am such a bad girl, I have yet to get to the post office Sorry everyone!!!!!!!!
Okay ladies, I have my 'F' card done. If I counted correctly, I have 15 things starting with the letter 'F'. Here's my card: First Class Friendship
!. The word 'Follow'
2. 'Feathers'
3. 'Fall' Leaves
4. 'Five' leaves in one cluster
5. The word 'First'
6. The word 'Friendship'
7. The bird is sitting on a 'Fir' branch
8. There are Flourishes on the card
9. Two of the sentiments and the inking around the edge of the card is stamped in 'Frayed' Burlap Distress Ink
10. The edges of the flowers, the bird, some of the leaves have been shaded or edged in 'Fired' Brick Distress Ink
11. The torn edges of the Kraft cardstock has been inked in Vintage Photo first and then edged in the Frayed Burlap to give the paper a 'Faux' burnt edge look.
12. I have a 'Flower' on my card.
13. The bird has two 'Feet'!!! lol
14. I stamped and 'Fussy' cut out a second bird to pop dot on top of the original stamped image for some added dimention.
15. There is a clock 'Face' as well!!
Now I tried to find the post where it explains how the points work for these words and I finally gave up on about page 18 or so.....lol. So if I understand it correctly, we get a point for every 'extra' item or word beginning with the letter of the week......which would give me 14 points I think.
I'm off to bed now.....too much thinking for this brain....lol
Glad Lynn was only having internet problems and not health ones!!! Wasn't on much today, have been trying out new things and branching out from card making. But.......I will stick with cards also
