Secret Spook Sister

Over on SCS in the Michigan chat thread I have been talking with some wonderful people! And I cant wait to meet the rest of the lovely stampers at the Michigan Mingle in March. It will be a 2 day event in Bay City and I am so looking forward to going. I am sharing a room with my friend Lynn and we are anticipating alot of fun!
So to get things started I participated in the Secret Spook Sister. There were guidelines and a form you filled out on your favorite things! We got to open them on Friday night online with all the Spook Sisters. I was so surprised that my sister packed so much stuff into that envelope! Here is a picture of what I got!

Thank you so much Ann! I love all your creations, and lovely gifts!
Enjoy

Lots of gifts and a Happy Mothers Day!!

First I have to say a BIG Happy Mothers Day to all my blogger buddies!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with their families!
Enjoy the time you have with them because life is too short!

As my kids came home after school today they were very excited and couldn't wait to give me their Mothers Day gifts they made. My son gave me a beautiful bracelet he made in class.


My daughter made me a wonderful book about what she likes about me. All written and illustrated by Kimberly. This is so COOL!


She also gave me a scrapbook that she made in Brownies. She added a few pictures but we have set some time aside soon to finish the scrapbook together.



Now on to my wonderful, generous Bella Sistah, Carol.
I was very surprised when the doorbell rang this morning. I was thinking, "hmmmm, UPS, I hadn't ordered anything (lately, that is), What could this package be."
It was from Carol. She is the bestest Bella sistah a girl could have.
Thank you so much Carol.

Here is what she sent me: Stampin Up glitter,sticky cut letters, rhinestone brads, doodlebug brads, ribbon, 2 bottles of stickles, a handmade chocolate book, jumbo dog brads, a decorated tin and bucket with a stapler, more ribbon, decorative do dads,a note pad and a book mark, a decorated frappachino bottle with candies in it, and stamped Bella images,and last but not least, Say cheeseabella and two sayings!

WHEW!!!!You are the best Carol. Thanks Again!
Hugz to all
Enjoy.

Kinda Late

Ok I am late posting these but things have been crazy here!! Sorry.
These are our Christmas presents to everyone in my hubby's family, and since his family is so big I made them simple.
I think they turned out lovely and I hope everyone liked them!
They are personalized note cards or thank you notes.
They are blank inside and can be used for whatever they want to use them for.
I bought a paper stack from Joann's and made 6 cards per family and they were all different color combos!
I had to make just under 100 cards so the layout is simple.
Not sure if I will do this again or not, haven't heard from anyone if they are using them.
It is very hard for me to give handmade things to people who don't scrapbook or stamp.
I hope they appreciate them and use them the next time they need a Thank You Note.
Well anywho I must get back to making my daughters communion invites!
I will post them soon, I PROMISE! lol

My very pretty stamp catalog

We have been so busy running with the kids, I have not had time to create. I really wanted to try Beates Weekend Challenge and didn't get to this time. There's always next weekend!!So I am sharing something that is very pretty and was given to me by one of my good friends, Bonnie.You can visit her blog HERE. I must say though for all my family that think I have a whole lot of unused stuff sitting around, this I am using. It is almost full and there is no way I am done buying stamps!!LOL. Enjoy!
P.S. My fingers are crossed that this is the last day of summer and we can officially start fall tomorrow!!!
