Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

I guess you can now tell how busy I am by how frequently (or infrequently) I post on my blog………it just has been one of those weeks at our house.  Nothing BAD and nothing MAJOR — just all the little things of life!   It has also been TWIRP week at school (that stands for “The Woman [...]

Eat Cake (page 40, $25.95)
I wanted to show you a couple more samples using two of my favorite “Retiring” stamp sets.  I love the colors of the top card (even though Taken with Teal didn’t photograph too well) and I love the “masculine look” of the birthday card.  These two cards [...]
