Dawn's Sunday Share 25, 2013

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

This past week Hopefully you played along for fun blog candy  for my week long celebration of my 7th Anniversary of blogging  . Thank you all for your sweet comments ~ You all are the BEST!

I gave away ( 6 ) stamp sets (1) each day to a lucky stamper who's name was randomly drawn each day (Sunday - Friday)  .

• Rita Santos
• Marcia Hill
• Barbara Ramsey
• Ruth Varian
  
• Christina Thurlow
• Diana Hults
  

Here are all the stamp sets  with each of the names drawn for that stamp set.

This past Wednesday I finished making my 120 Founder Circle swaps (WHEW)  PLUS I  started working on my Advisory Board swaps  as well as Goodie bags for our Special evening with Shelli  Gardner this next month . This week we also got an email for our Special Advisory Board Ring which we will be given to us  next month .

I also have 6 videos  filmed and ready to share  during the upcoming weeks while my Father in law is here.

Since my Father In law is in town hubby has a long list of things for him and  his Dad to  work on  PLUS just good old fashion family time .

Yesterday  Jessie  cut everyones hair  and here she is cutting her daddy's hair ... Plus did you notice the photos of Jessie that she colored her hair dark again ? Love it !

This last Wednesday I went to the Wound Clinic  for my leg again (Not sure how much longer I will be going BUT if all goes as plan I am thinking around Founders Circle my Leg should be good to go!

• Appreciate all your prayers

 Dr. says  it is looking GREAT & every week the wound is shrinking  and  filling in ~ Praise GOD! The bottom area  is already filled in just working on the upper part which has always been the larger part of the wound .

Tomorrow  I will be heading to my 6 month check in for my leg from when I fell & broke my Femur ~ Hard to believe it's been only 6 months .

Still Juicing  everything is going great! I am seriously not  juicing to lose weight ( But if that happens that's great ) It's more of just being healthy .  Juicing  and eating salads  is  just about 90% of our diet  currently .  I have found that eating starchy foods make my RA flare up like Pork and Shrimp. Some days I feel like there isn't anything I can eat without a flare up ~ughhhhh!

Here is an updated photo of our Garage . It's so awesome !  I think I love it so much because I know having a organized stamping space it really makes it so much better when stamping .

Hubby was way over due for  such an awesome space to call his own ~Praise God !   The metal racks will be moved soon .

Next Saturday Aug 31,2013  will be our 25th Wedding Anniversary.

( Did you know we got married the same year SU! started ?  Thats pretty awesome too huh?)

Just amazing~ 25 Years and I love him more than the 1st day we met in Gulfport MS .  Best thing that has ever happened to me .

Season of Style Tag cards

Hi Stampers :

Happy Monday friends !

Here are 2 Christmas cards I made using the Season of Style Designer Journaling Tags # 132808 from in the Holiday catalog HERE

I based the color combo all on the colors used on each of the tags  

The Merry & Bright card I also got to play with the brand new Chevron Border punch # 132154.

I just punched the  Cherry Cobber card stock #119685  and Old Olive card stock #100702 out and  used Snail adhesive to adhere the arrows in the  area that was  punched out with the same punch on the Crumb Cake card stock # 120953.

 I also used the brand new Cherry Cobbler 1" Stiched Edge Grosgrain ribbon # 132135 for the  big bow .

Both cards I added a bunch a sparkle with the

Basic Rhinestones # 119246.

So many fun projects you could to use these Journaling Tags on.

This Friday my Father in law & Jody are coming  up for a couple weeks  and we are looking forward  to  enjoying the outside  since the last time  they came up it was snowing and we couldn't  sit and relax  on the patio .

We have also been busy in the garage . We got the cabinets as a hand me down ~ BUT with a little cleaning ( Thank you to our friends Steve & Linda  who helped move them and Linda for helping me clean them up )  they are like new. Here's what those look like so far. I will take  more photos when everything is put away .

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday friends !

Well we finally got our Hot tub cleaned up and ready to go . The hot tub  was sitting empty  for years (since Hubby went to Iraq) so we had a major job of  cleaning and we are in the process of staining  the wood  frame . 

Yesterday we  went over to my cousin Amanda's house to get her hot tub ready to be hooked up as well .

We found out  this weekend that my Father In Law & Jody  are coming up from TN on Aug 23rd. Very excited to see them again~ this time they are bringing their dog Daisy up for a visit too.

Next weekend is the Woodward Dream Cruise with thousands of classic rides . A  HUGE highlight of the summer .

Dawn's Sunday Share 8-4-2013

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

Friday morning I sent out all my Glitter Queens quarterly cards (above photo show some of them ) . When making my Glitter Queens quarterly cards  I didn't realize how many steps  there were . Just loved the card and thought Yeah I will make these  for my Glitter Queens .

About 1/2 way through I was thinking " What was I thinking " LOL! 

I recieved the cutest swap at convention from Sharri and contacted her to see if it was okay if I used her idea and  then make a video on her idea . Since the card has many steps  I just highlight  what I did  and then I will put the card together with all of you .

That video will be posted  later this week .

 I am so excited that they are all finished ( over 100 of them ) and on their way to my Glitter Queens ( Just wait till you see it in person they are so stinkin CUTE!! )

So with my Downline cards done next on the agenda is to complete my Founders Circle swaps I need 126 of those. The more I can get done and checked off my list the  better I am ( Know what I mean ?)  I am not  good under pressure making so  many cards . Even though FC is over a month away the more I can get done the better  for me  since stress and my body do not work well together . 

This Friday night I was on a mission to  come up with my Founders Circle swap design . Imagine me going through all of my 600+ videos over the years . My swap had to be something quick and easy  .

I wanted to make something  with a Halloween theme  even though there is NO theme / No restrictions  on our swaps just to use current items .

I always find Halloween alot of fun maybe that's because my family doesn't  celebrate Halloween  BUT I was eye balling that Orange and Black glitter# # 132206  in the new Holiday catalog and  well one thing went to one thing and then another  and  well I have 3 Halloween  projects with finally the 1 I will be using ~ WHEW !

What a mess  after 5 hours of  playing & creating  . Needless to say  the biggest mess came when I was cleaning  up my huge mess . I spilled  the whole jar of orange  glitter on my floor . I'm shocked my neighbors didn't  hear me scream ( well maybe they did and didn't tell me) . 

As soon as the jar when over it all seemed like  it was moving in slow motion .I stood there and  looked at the Big mess . I did get a BIG bowl yesterday for my new glitter  so hopfully  this will not happen again .... 0f all the 10 years of stamping this is the second time this has happened ~Thank God ! 

I will be showing you the Halloween cards  over the next  couple weeks . I would show them all this week BUT I don't want to over whelm you will the same stamp set "Halloween Bash " over and over again .

I will be showing one tomorrow and also have a video on that card  this week as well (Super cute)

Today is the 1 st  full week of totally juicing we are eating a small dinner  But other than that we are just drinking Barley Max / Beet Max / Carrot Max . So much easier than me actually juicing  every other day 10 lbs of carrots . Just mix and drink ~ Healing inside out.

Are we loving the Holiday catalog ? I love  everything ! It really is an amazing catalog  and did you know it's an  interactive catalog?

Did you notice the  Icons  to use with your cell phone ( Iphone - Android )  download the Layar App.  and then scan the icon in the holiday catalog. The icons are spread throught out the catalog.

This is what it looks like on page 5 in the Holiday catalog .

Once you scan the icon a  video plays about that product opens up . It's pretty awesome !

I added a quick video for you on this feature below or  you can click HERE if you subscribe to my blog feed since videos do not show up in the blog feed  .

 

 I will be sending  my August Newsletter out either tomorrow or Tuesday  so be looking for that in your email box .
