Happy Friday girls! So nice waking up to low humidity. And the sun is heading your way - it's out up here, so your rain should be stopping soon. Have a great day girls! See some of ya tomorrow.
Whoo Hoo! Mike intereviewed this week for a new contract position (same company just different job) where he actually works at an office (Whoo hoo again)! He will start in-doc at NSA today. I lover him dearly, but also love 'my time' ! He is pretty excited about the possibility.
I am going to make good use of my time! I have some 'heavier' house work I want to do while my guys are at school/work and I have some stamping projects I want to work on.
Of course the laundry and the dogs are always requiring attention. ''
Any one heard from Amanda? I hope she is doing better and feeling better, I have a get well card that will go postal today.
mornin' all. Im off today and enjoyed sleeping in a little. Still got up at 7:30. Made some cute cards at my daughters last night. Off to the trainer at 12, then I think Im going to try to punch out all the stuff for my sbs card tomorrow. I hate lugging all those punches and stuff. See you tomorrow!
Rose, you are might calm for someone who still has SBS stuff to do! I worked on directions but am hoping that folks are a bit intuitive as directions were hard for this card. I am a visual..............How's our Amanda doing? I know she must be having RUBBAH WITHDRAWAL by now. Food withdrawal too! Hope she is doing okay.

I'm back from the doc - it went pretty well. I got two shots - flu and tetanus. Since the RN said my arm might be sore for a few days, I got both in my left arm. Didn't want to take any chances that it might effect my stamping arm! As a preview for the SBS, I am meeting with a few stamping/scrapping friends at church tonight - hoping to finish DD's menus for the big dinner! Can't wait for tomorrow...
I hope you all have fun tomorrow. There is a mini VSN tonight I hope to play along with....maybe. I have also found a lot of fun weekend challenges lately.
I'm praying for Amanda that she is doing well and she and Tracy just have not been on-line to keep us up to date.
Yep I'm home and doing better just really tired and sore. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. There is no way for me to do the SBS I'm not that well yet. Thank you for all the yummy food as well the family really enjoyed everything. Off to take another nap meds are kicking my butt.

We'll miss you tomorrow but you just need to take it easy for now!
Great to hear from you Amanda. Take care of yourself and take it slow. Take advantage of all the offers of help while you can! Will miss you Sat. but hope to see you soon. R

I'm so glad to hear you are home and feeling better! We will miss you tomorrow and I know you'd love to be there but rest is what you need. I'll make a second card and give to Tracy to give to you since I already cut for 30 anyway! Take care of yourself and let everyone wait on you for a change.

You will def be missed tomorrow! But, rest is what you need. I think several jammie days are in your future!!! Embrace them!!! I hope you get to feeling better, fast...
It's 11PM, and I just finished my swap card!!! Took 2 hrs...and is sooo not what I was going for....Remember how I have visions that turn into nightmares?? Well, uh- HAPPENED!! LOL! Now, to cut, and bag & hit the sack.
I may just have to call my card "hot mess."
Maybe I will dream it "better" and when I wake up it will be a-ok and not a nightmare...
Baking: done.
Cards: bagged.
Attention span and interest in this card: over done...
See you in the AM.
I just got home from the FUN SBS at the firehouse, I was the first to leave, I'm just still feeling whimpy. Too bad my appetite is so BIG! The food and fellowship where terrific.
Cindy, unfortunately I think I have to bow out of the trip to Amish country. I really want to go, but my schedule is waaaay to full and my wallet too empty. Hope you all have fun!!! I will try and catch you on the next go around...
So good to see you all again today!! I had such a great time...the only thing missing was Amanda. :( Hope you're feeling much better, Amanda! We really missed you!
Rose it was great to FINALLY meet you!
Tracy, thanks, again, for bringing me my mom's SU order! After today's swap, I might be NEEDING some more stamps and stuff!!

Sara, your card was not a mess at all, it was adorable! And that Pumpkin Choc. Chip Bread was to die for! Please, please, please can we have the recipe?
It was so good to see a lot of you today at the SBS! It was a lot of fun with beautiful cards and great food as always! Rose and Michelle, it was great seeing you two again, it's been ages!
Amanda, you were truly missed and your card was awesome. I hope you are feeling a lot better!
Hey Cindy just got news from DH that he will be gone on the 7th so I won't be able to attend Amish trip, since I don't want to leave the kids alone that long, and far away. Hopefully I'll be able to catch you all next time.
Amanda, have your goodies, you even won a prize. If you are still up CALL me, so need to yack.lol
Good morning, all!!! Hope everyone is recovered from the swap yesterday! I just looked through the cards I made and I'm amazed at how wonderful all of the cards were this swap!!
Hope you all enjoy your Sunday- hopefully the rains will stop...
Yes, Sara- we NEED that chocolate chip-pumpkin bread recipe! It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
Mornin' all. The SBS was so much fun Kathy did a great job of organizing and coordinating. It was so great to finally meet some of you in person! The cards were wonderful and soooo creative. Im sorry Im sooo slow! Thanks to connie for helping w/her beautiful cards. Tracey - I promise I will return your beautfiul sample card after I take a look at it w/my daughter. Im looking forward to going through the cards and re-appreciating them. I came home and slept for almost 2 hours!
Gooood Morning :p Boy, who knew such fun could wear you out?! Was a fun day, for sure. IIII am happy for the rain - LOVE the rain. Makes me sleepier, though! I do believe Sara can be our source for awesome recipes - so far, she is 2-for-2!!
Cindy, I too, unfortunately (hear my full-blown weeping!?) am not going to be able to make the trip on the 7th. What is it, with my Amish Adventure luck? Oh, yeah - I don't have any!!!!! :( I am soooo looking forward to being able to go - SOMEDAY! Will just have to keep enjoying everyone elses' good times, through pictures. Sigh...Who gets to pose with my underwear this time!?!? :mrgreen:
Oh I feel terrible, got home and was giong through my swaps, and realized I was missing one. Amanda's cute halloween card. So if you still have that extra kit, may I please do your card. I am so sorry. I was starting to feel very whimpy and wanted to finish up.
I went straight home and crashed on the coach until after 6:00. I hope you will accept my apology as it was un-intentional, I even crossed it off my list, umm must have been a brain dead moment.
The swap was awesome, I really enjoyed my day and the really great company!
Amish store tour is out for me now as well, unfortunately finances are a bit tight right now!
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is as follows:
CREATE A SHAVING CREAM CARD.
If you attended the SBS yesterday, you all saw the card designed by Rose's daughter, Michelle. It was wonderful. She did a marvelous swirled background with orange and black and whatever. She even gave me the "extras" because I was so enthusiatic about them. This is a bit messy and may take a bit of time for folks that have never done it, like me. So you have a dealine of TWO WEEKS from today to get your cards in. Now there is no excuse not to try it. If you are unsure how it goes, check out the resources page in Splitcoast, Shaving Cream..........easy peasy. Just need to get a few supplies........
I am looking forward to seeing everyone's creations.
