Dawns Sunday Share 8-8-2010

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

Soooo what Have  I been doing  the last few  days ? 

 I have been "Trying"  to design  a swap card  for SU! Founders  retreat  next month  My Swap card  has  to be  cute  BUT ( key word )  super simple  to make  since  I have  to make 130 swap cards  (YIKES!)

Well the good news I  finally  decided  on a design and  started making them  Thursday .

Ok so I have 30  done  and 100 to go. I am using the  Brand new stamp set  from the Holiday mini  called  Dark & Dreary  ( see sneak peek photo below ) Yup my swap cards will be a Halloween themed  card . As soon as  The Holiday mini  goes live ( Sept 1st )  I will post a video on them .

Here is my  plan ( brace  yourself )  If I make at least 10 swaps a day  for 13 days  I  will have  them all done  before  going to Founders .. so thats  the plan  NOW I just have  to do it . The swaps  are actually  really  fun to make BUT  I just can't seem  to sit  down and make all 130  at one time ..

So even if I skip a day or so of making my swaps  I still have enough time  to get them done  before Sept 15th  YAHOO!

 To help me  stay focused on my "plan" I will add the count each day at the bottom of my post as an update .

By the way I showed Jessie my swaps I have  done so far and  she loves them  so I guess they get the teenagers seal of approval  Hee! ! Hee!  

Jessie and her friend Kayla will be going on a road trip  this upcoming week  for 4 days to vist Kaylas  Grandma .

Jess has the GPS  and Kayla has map quest so Hopefully they get to their  destination ~Please pray  for them and for me  :)

Here is my Sunday Share  video  this week . One of my hubbys favorite  bands ( Zac Brown band ) so I have 2 of their videos  for you today .
 

 Here is another one  from them . 

Have a Fabulous Sunday  Friends .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

FC swaps = 30 done  ~ 100 still to make

Love the card for you swap.
Girls road trip. How fun is that. I remember 3 girlfriends and I going on a road trip to Florida from IL when I was 20. We didn't have map quest or a GPS just the old folding map. What great memories.

Sounds like a fun road-trip, I too will wish them great success and a safe journey. I've never done 130 cards in one sitting, as a matter of fact I've never done 130 cards in one year! I definitely wish you luck with it.

Dawn, I came across something that I thought you may want to use as a sunday share if you haven't used it already! Go to You tube and search for one minute sermon. It is FABULOUS!

Hi Dawn - a word of advice for your daughter and her friend. Use the GPS or Mapquest but not both at the same. My husband and I have gotten lost several times doing both. Either following Mapquest and only use the GPS if you run into trouble or make sure the GPS and Mapquest are in sync with their directions. Wishing them a safe journey.

I love your Halloween card Dawn!! I'm sure it will be a huge hit!
