Hi Stampers :
Happy Wednesday Friends !
When I went to Leadership this last week My hubby went with me as my supporting demonstrator this means : He was able to attend the leadership event with me / classes / stamping / everything .
So AWESOME! Let me just say he loved all the hugs he got from so many fellow demonstrators I am sure it was the highlight of Leadership for him ~ Ok besides kissing me at Managers Reception at the Wild Horse Saloon on our 1st night in Nashville with Stampin'Up!
I thought it would be alot of fun for him to take part in swapping so this was the 2nd swap I made . I wasn't able to make as many swaps as I intended to for leadership But was able to get 25 for him to swap and seriously he swapped like a pro !
For hubbys swaps I used Love Impressions designer paper #121780 with Whisper White card stock ( 12 X 12) #119952 PLUS the new Red Glitter Paper #121790 with the 1 3/4" scallop circle punch # 119854.
I used the 1 3/8 Circle punch#119860 with Basic Gray card stock #121044
The greeting is from the stamp set called XOXO # 121973 Punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch #119861.
I posted a video on this type of Gift card holder HERE
P.S Guess what I had for the 1st time ever while in Nashville ?
Fried Pickle Chips ... OMG sooooooo YUMMY!
My FIL ( Father In law) and Jody came to see us while we were in Nashville ( they live about 1 hour West of Nashville ) on Friday night and we all went to Caney Fork for dinner that's where I got my 1st ever Fried Pickle Chips .. soooo Delish !
Will be a day I will remember the rest of my life Hee! Hee!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday Stampers :)
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Love 'em! Fried pickle chips are a staple where I live!

I love fried pickles! YUM. I haven't had them in a very long time. Love the card, too! I'd love to see some V-day home decor decorations in the future if you are able to do that. After Christmas, my house goes from festive to boring. :(

You are a lucky girl. You get your husband back home from Iraq, the basement gets redone, and he goes with you to a Stampin Up function! Wow - you are very blessed indeed.

Love fried dill pickles...chips or spears. They are very common in TN (I'm about 2.5 hrs. west of Nashville).
I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Funny you should mention Fried pickles. My sister and family visited my husband and I while we were in Nashville too. My Niece who is 16 wanted the fried pickles from the Wild Horse Saloon, so we had a late lunch there on Sunday. Man oh man, were these good. Never had them before, but oh so good.
