Sorta like the time I stood in line for Bob Seger tickets for almost 24 hours... in the winter (but that paid off, I had front row seats, the pictures my friends took were so good they showed the fillings in his teeth....I know TMI (too much info). Hope that made ya laugh and didn't scare you away....see ya!

Hi,
I'm back for a 2nd time today :) Here's a picture of all the projects that we made yesterday.
The first project was the Altoid Tin and because the Stampin' Up! Designer paper is two sided they were able to choose the side they wanted. The 2nd project was the Pocket card holder. Half of them made the Groovy Guava & the other half made the Soft Sky. Next is the 3 x 3 Monograms cards with envelopes. And the final project is the Mini Clipboard. There's two in the picture...one with a sticky note & one without.
I'm a person that uses sticky notes all day long!! in fact they are everywhere and because I have so many, they're kinda getting lost in the shuffle....so my quick fix....I attached this little clipboard to my purse yesterday. I had several errands to run before club.....but those two on my clipboard were the most important...then after that whatever else I could get done..... was a bonus (that means large Route 44 drink at Sonic - that held me all day long).
For those of you that have looked for these clipboards and couldn't find them, not to worry, I have a solution I'm working on & should finish it soon.
See ya!
p.s. here's a little story for you.....I got a new Centro Cell phone with Sprint and I love it!!! I've used a Palm Pilot for years...in fact I could not live without it....anyway back to my story. Since the phone is new, I haven't learned all the bells & whistles...so yesterday right about the time I started to explain the club projects we all heard a noise and it stopped me right in my tracks. I was like someone just got a text message or something. we all looked around....everyone could account for their phone...but me...so I got up, went to my phone and sure enough it was me and what did it say....Stampers Club at 11:30. Oh My Gosh, how cool was that? But the sound was so foreign to me... next time I'll be prepared :) I love all this new technology!

Good morning!

Have a great day and see ya tomorrow!
p.s. The pictures are of the Front covers only, but if you're a visual person and need to see it finished just let me know ( I understand! )

Good morning!
Today is Stampers Club Day and this is one of the projects we're making..... isn't it darling? This pocket card holds three 3 x 3 cards with envelopes!
I took several pictures and couldn't decide which one I liked best....so I'll show you all of them at the end of my post :)
I bet some of you are trying to figure out what image I used around the Lovely Letters Alphabet.....look on page 153, the Taking Care of Business stamp set. I cut the word Special right out of the middle :) and now I have a bigger circle border to go around my larger alphabets!!
Here's the rest of the photos....See ya tomorrow!
p.s. Thanks a bunch Roxy for sharing the template with me!!! It looks different because I tweaked it just a little :)))
3pm update....Yes, I would be happy to do a Video....I'll work on it tomorrow & post it Wednesday :)

Good morning!
There's just something about these cards...... I needed a new thank you card & this is what I came up with.
If you've placed a Stampin' Up! order with me in the past 2 months, you will receive one of these cards in the next week. I debated as to whether I should surprise you but decided that I'll surprise you next time :) Thanks again for everything!!
These card were made using the Embrace Life & Artfully Asian stamp sets. The colors of cardstock are, Celery, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou & Whisper White. Ink colors are Timber Brown Stazon, Pretty in Pink, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Old Olive & Celery. And the last item used was the Sponge Daubers. These cards measure 3 x 5 1/2 (my new favorite size).
Thanks for stopping by!

p.s.s. Moonlight fans, OMG...was that not the best show ever? The ending was amazing!! I cried for an hour after the show (I've cried enough this week to last me a month of two, I should be good for a while). Thanks for all the emails you sent me and everyone that called CBS. Who knows a miracle could happen :)

What's included? You'll select your choice of Stampin' Up! Designer Paper and I will assemble and bind your project. Want more details?? Check back later today and I'll have a link to show you all 9 choices :) I'll come right back here and update this post when it's ready on my Chic n' Scratch Shack.
2pm Update..... I just posted the details for my Password/Address Books, click here to see all the details.
Want to know why I'm not ready this morning.....My dear husband ....not....just kidding...anyway.....he tried to connect his work laptop to our network and long story short...my internet wasn't working again until around 11pm :O
Sorry I've been so off kilter this week.....hopefully I'll have my ducks in a row next week. Have a Fantastic Friday and thanks for stopping by!!
p.s. If you'd like to help me save Moonlight, you can call CBS until 6pm today (not sure which time zone) and leave a message, all they need is your location and your age....they want to see what or who the audience would be. thank you....xoxo The numbers are 818-655-1779 or 212-975-4545. Now for a little story....at dinner last night I was telling the whole family about how the fans are fighting to save this show and Chase said "mom, it's over, they're not bringing it back and you should stop" so I decided that this could be another life lesson. So, here's what I told him....... Never give up, if you want something! Even though it seems impossible, you try even harder, if it doesn't work out, what did you lose? I always say, it never hurts to try!! what have you got to lose? He & Brook both laughed at me ....you know those laughs that teenagers do when they think mom has lost it (I love those moments). See ya!

Oh my gosh......I've been having a terrible morning & cried ever since I woke up. A couple things happened and it all happened at once. One of my neighbors from my old neighborhood passed away on Friday and the rosary service was last night. It was difficult being there because she was only 40 years old with a dear husband and two young girls. I had not seen her in many years but regardless, it breaks my heart.
The next reason will make you think I've lost it......My most favorite show Moonlight was canceled yesterday :( I know that sounds so crazy to be so upset. But, I am a romantic at heart, always have been, always will be. I'm the person that also watched Titanic like 4 times at the theater. Can you relate? I'm a sap...my kids say I cry at Barney (I don't....but I could if it had a sad moment).
Sorry for my personal post today....I try every hard to post only business stuff!!
Now for the good news.....just when I think I'm going to cry all day, not answer the phone and leave the blinds closed, so it will look like I'm not home........A miracle happens (God answered my prayers).......MY CHIC STANDSTM JUST ARRIVED :) I'm going to take a picture and post it in a few minutes :)
