Yes, I got a great deal of little things accomplished today……….such a productive day! Charles took Sarah to the cave in Georgetown, Allyson and Lindsey were quite busy texting all day
and the baby was at daycare while they went to the cave. So, I quickly finished picking up the house (from Christmas decorations that I put away yesterday), finished some laundry, washed my sheets, and vacuumed the house. The belt broke last night — bummer — so Allyson got me a new one last night and I was able to finish my chores. When it got really calm around here, I stamped and scrapbooked just a little bit. I also baked a potato for lunch in my new “Potato Baker” that my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. It is sewn (yes, with a sewing machine) out of fabric (with some batting in there, too, I think) and it is the coolest thing ever. You slide a clean baked potato in the pouch and microwave it in the fabric pouch. It comes out soft and fresh — just as if you had baked it for hours in the oven! I am so impressed……….not sure why it works so well, but it does!
So, here is one of the projects I made with the Love You Much stamp set.

This is one of those cards that didn’t turn out EXACTLY as I planned, but I had to stop at some point and move on. I was trying to use my catalog for inspiration, and I used the card on page 23 for the layout idea. I tweaked it a little here and there, but I think you can see that I created it using the same “template”. The nicest thing about this stamp set is that the 3 hearts can be stamped and PUNCHED out perfectly with the punch……….no cutting!!! I am in love with punches, and this is no exception.
Here are a few pictures of the cave exploration today………..have a great day!



This is a BAT!!!! They were not zooming in on him, either, they were really this close……….I am not sure about this — I’m glad that I was not so close!
Have a great new year’s…………. Dawn
