Hi Stampers :
Happy Sunday everyone ..
Today would have been my Dads 65th Birthday and today also marks the Day that My hubby went to Iraq 2 years ago.
SALE-A-BRATION 09:
We are getting down to the last few days of Sale-a-bration 2009 which is end on March 31, 2009 if you are wanting to join my Glitter Queens stamping team and take advantage of the Sale-a-bration starter kit specials you can read more details over HERE .
Todays card is one I have been wanting to make for awhile. I just think it is the cuttest thing .Jessie said it is one of her favorites~ I think that comes from her loving Childern so much . She is really so Awesome with little ones and she is planning to persue Child developement after high school . I used a lot of punches for my card which are listed below Scallop punch#109043 (Face ) small oval punch#107304 (Mouth) 1/4" circle punch ~ retired~ (center of eyes ) 1 /2" circle punch#104390 (Eyes & nose) 1 1/4" circle punch#104403( mouth) Horizontal Slot punch #105089( eyebrows) 3/4" Circle punch#107217 ( cookie ) I used the Party Hearty # 111532 stamp set for the Celebrate You. This card design I used for todays card came from this video HERE
I have to share with you something that happened yesterday .. It is such terrible thing that only a picture could capture my sad moment . Yes I knocked over my glitter Bowl and there on the floor was so much glitter BOO HOO! This is actually the 1st time this has ever happened to me. I knew in my heart that it would happen one day..
But there is something good through this sad moment ~I had resently purchased 3 jars of dazzling diamonds to dump in to my glitter bowl BUT I had not added the jars yet WHEW!! Now that would have been even worse If I had :)
Resently I had purchase new tires for my car and well this past Friday I took my car in to have my tires rotated and low and behold One of my factory rims was badly bent~ Yes we have HUGE pot holes here in Michigan so Huge I think some of them my whole car could fit in them :) soo long story short I got new rims for my car .. Funny when My hubby called I told him I got new rims for my car and all he asked was if I got spinners Hee! Hee! NO !! To funny ~ Here is my car with her fancy new wheels I can't believe how much different my car looks just from buying new wheels ~ Go figure :)
For my Sunday Share I found Amazing song from Miley Cyrus called The Climb Big meaning in this song for such a young girl Dawns Side note : It is all about the Journey But as Miley says in her song Its about The climb. Every mountain has a valley and its how we get through the valley is how sweet the Mountain really is. Count your blessings Today !
Have a Fabulous Sunday and I will see you all again tomorrow :)
Hi Dawn so cute and I just love that Miley song
On another note how is your mother's wrist?

For a second there it looked like someone had died and you had outlined the body in dazzling diamonds. Hey cute rims, tires and video. And an "atta girl" for you doing such a great job at taking care of business on your own all the time. You set a great example of other wives affected by the war and just how to "make the climb" till he comes home for good. Hugs, Orisse

Dawn,
Sorry about the glitter!! UGH! I'd cry. I have a tip for you. Take a few scraps of left over rubber and make feet for your glitter bowl. It really keeps it from sliding around your work table. Try it! It really works. HTH!

I LOVE the card! Of course it takes me back to my childhood and growing up with Sesame Street.
I would cried if I spilled all that glitter. I am sad for you.
DD's are listening to the Miley Cyrus CD right now. Can hear that exact song.

I rarely comment dawn but if you like this one another good one is make some noise by Miley. I am partial to it because it is getting my daughter through some really rough times with people not liking her.

Can you believe it? First time I have ever heard that young lady sing. She has a pretty voice, and I liked the song also. So sorry about your glitter, and your rims. What a week you have had!

Dearest Dawn,
OMG!!!!! I want you to know I have been there but you will get over it. At Christmas I spilled my favorite green tinsel glitter. It was a sad day.
I really love the Miley Cyrus video. I have been in a deep valley with health issues for the past couple of years. One thing after another. But as I listened to that song I realized today that I think I may be climbing up the other side.
You are my earthangel...Thanks for the share. YOU SHINE.
As Always

Oh Dawn I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune but when I saw that picture of your floor I couldn't help but chuckle. I could feel your pain. Thank goodness it wasn't your entire stash. I feel therapy may have been needed if you spilt it all.
Love the card today - as always.

Dear Dawn,
I am so sorry about your Dad. It's good of you to remember him on his former birthday. You must have loved him very much.

Love the Sesame Street Characters! I'm gonna have to case them!!! What a tragedy on the Glitter...I am one of those anal-rentative people who would try to scoop it all back up... (he he). My hat goes off to you & the hubby for serving the military. I've two kids in the Army. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Dawn - Thanks for sharing the song. I absolutely love it!! I really enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing with us all you do.

I totally feel your pain!!
A couple of weeks ago my 11 year old son asked to make his own bday thank you's. I was so happy to hand off a To Do and share some never before shared craft time with him. Well, he accidentally knocked a brand new Turquoise glitter from SU's Supernova superfine glitter set. (a.k.a. not available for individual purchase.)
I was so sad...why couldn't it have been an ugh-o color?!?! Well, probably 'cause SU doesn't make icky colors! Oh well, it was purely an accident and he felt so bad I couldn't be mad.

I just have to ask, "Did you roll around in the glitter since it was already on the floor?" jk
I can't believe how much I've missed while I was in my own valley climbing up the numerous mountains, kwim?
