I can't believe it's been 4 months since I last posted. One would think I'd be on more since I pay for this blog. But alas, I haven't been on - my fault, I guess. I've been stamping more and have a couple of cards to post later. I'm also quite excited about attending the Stampin' Up Convention this year. Though we will be in the middle of a PCS, Mike said I could go. WooHoo! So, I'll be posting about my exictement more later. Now off to cook dinner.
I haven't stamped in a while, here's my first card in months. I was hosting Bunco this past week and needed some door prizes. I went into my stash of cards to come up with some packs. But I wanted a "new" card to add to them. I bought this set when it was on special in October. A very quick card, using SC199 from SplitCoast.
The cupcake was stamped on WW with Close to Cocoa ink. I used Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol to color the image. It was popped up on the double layer, which was also popped up using dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped on WW with CtoC ink. Regal Rose wide grosgrain ribbon and Diamond Stickles finished up the car.
Everyone who got this card in their packet loved it.
I knew this would happen after getting the flu mist vaccine.Yesterday I decided to get a flu shot since I needed to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy. The side effects of the shot have hit me and now I'm extremely achey, tired, headache - the whole 9 yards. I'm also very cranky which I'm sure is part of me not feeling well. In the long run, the shot is worth it but I just have to get over all of the effects. Yuck!
I know my last real post rambled on my wish for a weenie dog. I saw a couple of ads in the classifieds, but by the time I reached them, the dogs were already spoken for. Since we do not have very much time left here in Germany, we may wait until we get back to the States to get one. I'm keeping my eye open though, maybe another opportunity will come up that I can't pass up. Until then, I will pet and play with every weenie dog I come across.
...to see if these catergories come up on my blog. I think I'm using a new version of Typepad.
I just don't know why I can't keep up with this blog. Since my last post back in August, I was crazy busy with our vacation to Garmisch, Germany and then the ROSC Bazaar. I think I must have put in over 100 volunteer hours working in it. Then, school started and more activities began. Now, I'm finding a calm point approaching where I can "get back" to blogging and crafting. Horray!
So today when we drove home from the store, we see a woman walking a daschund. He was such a cute doggy, short-haired reddish/brown color. We even stopped to chat with him a bit and he jumped in our car. His owner said he liked to go for rides. When we parked the car, I told the girls that if Mike ever deployed we were getting a daschund.
During dinner, we were talking about dogs in general and I did say that I wanted a daschund. Mike of course, did the whole "no dog" speech, taking care of it, etc...I pointed out that when Logan was over, I was the primary dog caregiver and that I'm the only one that cleans Onge's cat litter, water dish and food dish.
I remembered back a few months ago when Sheri and I saw someone at the golf course with a daschund. The lady said that someone was getting rid of the dog and they got her for free. With my mind spinning after that memory, I immediately scoured the house for newspapers to see if there were any ads for daschunds. I actually found 3, two were already taken and now I'm waiting for an email response on the third.
I'm not sure if this will work out, but I just LOVE weenie dogs and I think we'd do good with one and the cat. Like with anything, there's always an adjustment period but we'll be good. Here's to hoping!!!
Are you a believer that good things happen in three's? Well, this week I am. First, I hear from my SU Convention Buddy that she was able to get all the items I wanted from the momental mall. Second, we get the phone call from the Chaplain's office telling us that there is space for us in the retreat. And third? Someone from SCS sent me a PM saying they had the Convention tote bag available for sale. How cool is that? A little more than what I wanted to pay for it, but I probably would've sold it for the same amount anyway. WooHoo!
This is the other challenge I participated in. It was JulieHRR's challenge to have a lot of white space on your card. She stamps so good and makes all her cards very classy. I decided to give this one a try.
I used the new owl set, Q.T. Hooty, from Pink Cat Studio. I saw a card in the SCS Gallery and fell in love with the set. I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock using Brilliance Graphite Black ink. Copic markers (Love them!) were used to color in the image. The brown ribbon was from the Flirty Ribbon Originals SU came out with in Spring '07. I just love these little owls!!!
Guess where we are going? Yep, that's right! I received a call yesterday from the retreat organizer. Someone canceled that had our family size so....WE CAN GO!!! Us girls were doing the happy dance around the house yesterday after finding out we were in. I'm actually quite shocked that there was space for us. I can't help but think that maybe they "found" a room for us. But whatever the case may be, we are going!!! All 5 of us can't wait to hit the pool and check out the resort. We finally get to go on that mini vacation. HORRAY!!!
