Here's Leah

Isn't this to funny? Look at the little bitty guy holding the kite string. The birds must be from the dinasour age. They are ginormous next to the guy. She also had some help from Wes, her brother. Really great hat Leah.

Here is mine.
The flowers are just tissue paper. Yes just like the kind we used to make with Kleenex. You add some feathers and tolle, not sure of the spelling, and you have a beautiful hat. This party was so much fun. You should get your girl friends together and have one.

More Royal Ascot Pics

This is Bree, my niece. Isn't this too cute? Reminds me of Minnie Pearl. Bree is Annette's daughter.


Here is Janet, another niece. I wish I would have gotten a better picture of her. Her hat was really pretty and it had a bow in the back with really long streamers. Janet is Kay's daughter. Lovein the vale.

Now this is Heather, my first born. She has a Rt 44 Sonic drink twice a day, everyday. I think the hat is as big as her. LOL I love the mint!  Well I hope you are enjoying these pics. I will post mine and Leah's later. I am waiting on a close up of Leah. I didn't get one with my camera.

Royal Ascot Pictures

Well sorry for the delay I had some computer issues and I started my new job on Wednesday. My first day and the battery in my car was dead, fun stuff. LOL All is well now and this morning I have a new battery. So on with the show!! Below is my little sister Annette.
Isn't her hat gorgeous? A very sassy pose as well.
Next is my sister Kay.

I wish I had gotten a closer shot of her hat. It had everything except the kitchen sink on it. I think she was very creative. Kay lives in a small town east of Oklahoma City. Well that is all the pics for today. I have to get to work. I may post more this evening.

JUGS - Royal Ascot Party


This is our JUGS (just us girls) group. I have two sisters in there, two daughters and two neices, one neice is missing. From left to right, standing: Janet, Bree (neices), Kay, Me, Annette (sisters). On the floor, due to the size of their hats is Leah (with the kite) and Heather (my daughters). Heather loves RT 44 Diet Coke with Vanilla and has 2 of them a day. I am not talking about 5 days a week, I mean 7 days a week. LOL I will post close ups of everyone tomorrow. I had so much fun and was so excited to see everyone's hat. I love my JUGS.

Flowers

Here is a picture of one of my Hibiscus plants in bloom. Isn't this a beautiful flower. Really showy.


Project Linus Card 3

Well I am behind again but what's new. LOL  For those of you that may not know I have been taking care of my ex-mother-in-law, who suffers with Alzheimer's. We have made a decission for her to be moved back to an assisted living center. She will be moved next week. This is a bitter sweet thing for me but I think it is what is best for her. I have also been lucky enough to have two of my grandaughter's everyday. So I have been busy but after next week I will have more free time and can get on track.

I hope you enjoy this third card of the set. I got my inspiration from a card the Connie Stewart made. Connie is my up line in Stampin Up.

I have done these in several colors and paper options. They are really very cute.

My New Look!!

Hello everyone. Well how do you like the new look of my blog? I love it. I have hired Heather Wright-Porto to manage my blog. No matter how I tried I couldn't get it to look they way I wanted. She is great and here is her blog http://www.blogsbyheather.com/,if you would like some help. I hope to learn how to do it myself but who knows how long that will take. LOL How do you like the new banner? I designed this myself in My Digital Studio. If you haven't heard yet you can try MDS for 30 days for FREE. You really should. I love it and the more I use it the more I love it. Well gotta go for now but hopefully I will be back very soon with a couple of new projects. Take care.

Lennon's Party

These are some bean bags I made for one of the games. They are doing a carnival theme. I like Purdue but not an OU fan. We are OSU Poke fans here.


Lennon's Birthday Party Stuff

I am so proud of myself. I know that sounds silly but I have been working with MDS
to make things and just haven't been very successful. So here is a candy wrapper that I
made for my grandson's birthday party.
All of it done in MDS.
Here they are with M&Ms in them.

Tea Party

I am having a Tea Party for my Secret Sister group at church next Tuesday. this is the favor. It will have tea bags and a butter cookie shaped like a tea bag in the middle. They are so cute. These can be found on the net and are very easy to make.

Here is the card I made for the Tea Party. I was going to make it an invitation but decided to just give it to them so they can send a card to someone. I cased this card from here. Hope you like it as much as I do.

BLAKE'S BRACELETS

My very talented grandson Blake makes these survival bracelets. He sells them for $5 each so if you would like to buy one just send me an e-mail with colors and quantity. They call them "survival" bracelets because they are made with 8 feet of nylon cord or if you are in a bind and need a rope you can take this bracelet apart and use the cord. I think that is so cool. You can get them in school colors too!! I hope you will order one or more for you kids or grandkids or the campers or hikers in your life. Enjoy!!

SU Meeting Swap

Hello everyone. Man it has been a long time. I can't seem to keep up these days. Here is a couple of pictures of the SWAP I made for our SU downline meeting tomorrow. These little boxes were in the SU magazine this month. Enjoy!!



The card stock is Pear Pizzaz and measures 5 1/4 X 3. Score on the 5 1/4 side every 7/8". The ends are DSP cut with the Fancy Flower punch. I used the Modern label punch for the window and then covered it with a 2 1/2 X 3/4" piece of window sheet. Then I used the postage stamp punch in real red and the 1" punch in whisper white. I used the real red marker with the Outlined Occassions stamp set. I used some wax string that I have had for awhile that isn't SU. Sorry I couldn't find my hemp twine. I hope you will make some of these and let me know how it goes and send me a pic.

UPDATE

Hello fellow stampers. I don't have any pictures to post this morning but wanted to post an update. We have moved to Choctaw,OK and are getting settled in. My stamping supplies are kind of scattered at the moment but I will work on that today. I am having major stamping withdraws. I plan to work on the Make-N-Takes we got at Leadership today so I can post some pics very soon.

I am also getting ready to do a fund raiser for Project Linus. If you aren't familiar with this organization they provide blankets to any child that is going through any kind of trauma. They provide blankets to hospitals, shelters and children of military families. I will be making a set of 12 all occasion greeting cards and envelopes. You will get 2 cards of each 6 designs. The cost is $25, with $20 going to Project Linus and $5 to cover the cost of the supplies. If you would like a set please send 2 checks, one to Project Linus and one to Julia Gass to 2463 Orchard Rd, Choctaw, OK 73020 with your name, address and phone number on a separate sheet of paper so that I can contact you when your set is complete. When I get the cards made I will post some pics. The sets will not be the same so your set may not look like the ones I post. I hope you will all help with this fund raiser. These women are wonderful and they are about out of money, which they use for labels on the blankets and postage to send them where ever they are needed.

LEADERSHIP NEWS


There I am with my friend and co-demo Shelia, on stage, getting recongnized for our promotion to Sr Supervior. This was my first Leadership and I hope the first of many. I have so much to share with you about Stampin Up and Leadership. So stay with me, this may be a long post. We are moving this week so I am thinking I better post lots today because I will be too busy later.

What a goofy look on my face. I just won the PRIZE PATROL gift, which is a new product that will be available in March. I was shocked and so excited. I know you are dying to know what is in that box, aren't you? Well here it is. Get ready. Wait for it. OMG!!

It is an accessory to the Simply Scored. This is a plate you lay on the Simply Scored. It has diagonal score lines to make envelopes!!!!! Can you believe it? I also got a sylist and markers. They demonstrated how to make the envelopes and boxes and other things with this. It is amazing!! Remember this isn't available until March so get it on that wish list ladies. I will make some things and get them posted next week after the move. I was the envy of everyone in my group. It will be great to be able to do a product focus on this at our downline meeting. Okay now for some more exciting stuff. FREEBIES!! You know you love them. Sit down cause you won't believe this.

This stuff covered the entire width of the bed. This doesn't include the Make and Takes.
OMG, I know, I know. These are the Make and Take projects. Again it covers the entire width of the bed and about half the length. It is just wonderful all the things Stampin Up does for us as demonstrators. If you have ever thought of starting a home business you should consider Stampin Up. This company is a pleasure to work with, yes "work with" and not for. They have a fabulous special going on during Sale-A-Bration. You can join for only $125, which gets you $350 worth of merchandise and business supplies. And for a bonus you get a FREE package of designer series paper or a FREE download for My Digital Studio for the rest of the year. That is another $100 + of FREE merchandise. The very best part of this though is that you will be joining a company that lets you do things your way. In fact their theme for this year is "My Way". Stampin Up encourages you to run your business Your Way. If you want to be a hobby demonstrator or you want to have a thriving business it is up to you. And when you decide to change the direction of your business they are there for you then too. Whether that is to kick it up or to turn it down.

This is Shelli Gardner, owner, and her daughter Sarah. You couldn't ask for two more sencere lovely people. They care about everyone and their business. They are at every event and accessible to talk with and they really listen to what you have to say. Their families are usually there also. All the executives are there and standing in the hall to talk to you when you come by. It is so cool that they are so interested and involved with all of us. They really understand that we drive this business they love and they truely want to take care of us and provide us with the tools and services we need to succeed. I have been a part of a lot of other companies in this industry but none can touch Stampin Up. So give it some thought and if you would like to talk about it or if you have questions please contact me and lets have some tea or coffee and visit.

I think I better sign off for now but I have sooooooo much more for you. I will post tomorrow morning.
