Yeeeeehah, I'm back in the saddle again.....feels goooooood!!

Let me just VENT, it should NOT take 6 days to FIX a HARDRIVE!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

O.K., I feel better.  Thank the good Lord I backup my files to Carbonite!  They saved me, as I had a ton of files I have on computer.  So blessed it's all saved, and it will only take 3 days, yes you heard that right, 3 days to  load it all back into my PC.  Right now it's at 4% and it has been running since 8am this mormning, yikes!  Thank goodness I have a lot of memory, etc on my PC.

O.K. on to fun stuff!  I am going to be sharing some very FABULOUS card swaps from leadership.  Really, did you expect anything than fabulous!  I know I didn't...wink, wink... ;-)

This gorgeous thang is from my fabulous sideline Cindee Wilkinson.  Man oh man, she did a bang up job, and you really should go and check out her blog, it's wondermous!  She is at:  www.justspongeit.blogspot.com.

 
My camera does NOT do these swaps justice, this one here is by Stephanie Leider....love the colors, the great idea to use the Victoria lace and then she changed up the sentiment to the fabulous ovals!  Sweeeeeeeet!

I know I would be proud to receive this card if I was not feeling to good.  This is from Rita Parker, and she is from Eureka, MO.  Such a bright and cheerful card.

Well, that's it for today, but be back soon as I have a lot more swaps and pics to share with all of you!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

              

 

My PC is in the Hospital..... :-(

I am totally bummed, my "almost new" PC is in the hospital to have the HARD DRIVE replaced!  Let me just say, thank goodness for "Carbonite"!

I am having to "borrow" a computer to update my blog.  I didn't want you to think I abandoned you.  So enough of my saga/sad story, let's move on to the good stuff!

 I am sharing more pics from Leadership last month, tons of great cards/ideas..... :-)

Love the skies on this one.

Love the colors.....

Can we say adorable. 

OK, I am going to admit it up front.  I love this stamp set called "Mouthwatering" and after seeing some adorable samples, my head is spinning with ideas.  You know I am going to have to use the Cherry scented Clear Embossing powder in the Ocassions Mini.....oh yea baby!!!

My all time favorite fruit in the whole word!

stinkin' adorable right?

Well, off I go, as the "borrowed" computer is being summoned by it's owner.  But hey, I am in the process of purchasing a good camera AND video camera, so be on the look out for some short, quick, and fun tutorials soon.

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

              

 

More from Leadership 2012

I have more Leadership pics for you.  Some beautiful cards here, along with 3D items.

Isn't this card just so cute?  It's a 3X6" card.  It may be small, but it packs a punch!

Take a gander at these beautiful cards.  Stampin Up had these clothes line type card holders and they used clothes pins for fellow demonstrators to post their creations.

I really did "not" want to like this bird die, but just look at this card, I love it!!  Imagine what you can do with this dove....think Bridal shower, etc.

The above pic and the next few pics will be items that Stampin' Up had in the "Gathering Place" for us to see and get ideas.....love them.

Sweeeet

Shares from Leadership Conference

I still have tons to share with you from Leadership 2012 in San Antonio, TX.  What a beautiful State it is!

Stampin' Up always treats us well, and we had some fabulous shares from some very, very talented ladies, so let's get started!

 
Here is a beautiful scrapbook page Stampin' Up shared as a sample...beautiful little girl too....don't know who she belongs to, but she is a cutie.

Using the same Stamp Set, they displayed this adorable little Happy Birthday Wand, so clever.... :-)

Don't these strawberry from our "I Love You" Stamp Set in the Ocassions Mini look good enough to eat?

Clever, clever, clever, love this DSP from the Ocassions Mini and look what the did with one of the stickers.

How about this to spruce up some regular old plastic forks and napkins?  Love, love, love our new doily sizzlet!

Gorgeous right?  Lot's of lots of sample I have to share with you.  But I also want to share this sweet picture.

These BEAUTIFUL ladies are Shannon West (left) Stampin' Up trainer and she is fabulously talented.  She made the apron she had on herself with what looks to be maybe some new fabric coming up in our new Big Catalog.....hmmmm.  And of course my Gorgeous Upline, Patty Bennett!  I just love her!!

Had to share these pics, aren't these women simply amazing?  I still get tense just looking at the pictures again!  My goodness what strength, endurance and flexibility, right?

Last one for tonight, WOW, WOW, WOW.....unbelievable, but try because I saw it!!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Stampin' Up Leadership 2012

I am so blessed to be at the Stampin' Up Leadership event in San Antonio, Texas.  We are having a blast!  I have some fabulous roomies whom I have never met before yesterday, but I was not worried at all.  We are all stampers, and stampers are nice people!  Here is a little gift I made for them.

They loved it.  Here it is sitting on our bed in the hotel room.  Sorry for the quick post,  I will post more pics tomorrow of some of the fabulous projects we are making, the wondermous show we attended tonight, etc. 

Tired, and must get some rest!  Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more fabulous samples and SWAPS these next coming weeks!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!

             

 

Fabulous Gift!!

I posted several weeks back a gorgeous invitation from Stampin' Up to our yearly "Leadership Conference" scheduled for next week in San Antonio, Texas.

Well, I have an absolutely phenomenal Upline, her name is Patty Bennett, you can visit her website here: pattystamps.com

She sent those of us attending Leadership a fabulous gift!  Take a looksie:

Eeeek, I just squeal with appreciation every time I look at these!  Can you believe along with everything in this bundle, she was also thoughtful enough to include and ship the clear plastic tote?

 

Mind you, I love it all, but this is just the icing on the cake!  What a fabulous letter, and made using our My Digital Studio software....love it!

Look at the beautiful My Digital Studio Card!  She is the "Queen" of My Digital Studio, and am so looking forward to hanging out with her and the rest of our team next week!

Look at the gorgeous My Digital Studio tags she made for us....beautiful!!!

Here is the clear plastic tote that fits "perfectly" inside the Canvas tote from "Thirty One".

What is simply amazing is that I have the smaller tote that matches this perfectly I ordered last year from my dear friend Emily Stovall who sells "Thirty One" here locally, in case your interested...wink, wink.... :-)  Here is the link to Emily's site if your interested: www.mythirtyone.com/stovall

I am so super jazzed about attending Leadership in San Antonio next week.  I will be posting pics while I am there, so keep your eyes peeled, but also will continue my usual shares this week!

Thank you Patty for already making an exciting trip, extra special!!!

Until the next  time, remember to hug the ones you love, none of us are promised "tomorrow"!
