Where have I been?

Crazy crazy summer we have had.  Work was insane, ended up sick, death in family you name it.  But I am back and going to do a much better job of posting my art and updates.

My Birthday card for Tamara

I had a blog post all ready to go for Tamara's Birthday Blog Hop, then disaster happened.  I thought I may of had something wrong with my computer because a website called electric static and Australian brewing kept popping up saying I needed to upgrade my Java.  I click out of there but it kept happening over and over again.  The last straw was all my blog posts were not working, getting lost, not posting etc.  Finally I knew I would have to have my laptop fixed.
Christopher from next door was able to fix it in a flash drive... lol get it? flash then drive? oh well I digress anyway here is her Birthday card and it was mailed on Saturday.

Valentine's from my Sugar Boo Bear or aka My husband

This year I was totally surprised by my Valentine's gift.  I was in the studio the other day and made a comment on how I needed to run up to Wal-Mart and buy some thread.  ( on the island we only have a Wal-Mart that is it.  So, he went up to Walmart with me and I purchased a white and black spool as well as two olives.  Then three days later this showed up.  WOW what a guy.  He listened to just a simple comment and purchased this for me.  Not only did I get this but also a gift certificate to Joann's for patterns and fabric.

Paris here we come

Tickets to Paris check
Apartment in Paris for two weeks check
Metro tickets....still need

fun for two weeks in the city of love and lights totally priceless

The Stamping Chef does it again

I totally love this stamp.  I had so much fun making this.  enjoy

Happy Birthday to you

A little over a year ago I joined an art group called Simply Betty Stamps.  The owner is a kooky lady named Betty Roberts who has the cutest teenage daughter named Rio...  The leader of the facebook group is named Corinne and is totally nuts with the biggest heart a nut could have.  She has a twin sister named Irene whom I haven't had a chance YET to get to know as much as her nutty twin but I am looking forward to getting to know Irene even better.  So, Miss Betty the owner of Simply B stamps drew these two images which pretty much are spot on for Irene and Corinne.  It is a surprise birthday celebration for these two ladies.  So Happy Birthday ladies....  I am so lucky to have you in my life.  

We are having a hop for this event so hop on over and visit those below
