Hi Stampers :

Happy Monday friends !

Here are a few cards I made for my 2nd level downline. I mailed them out the day I left for Founders Circle  and didn't have a chance to show you them  with everything else  that was being posted last week .

I used the 2013/15  In Color Designer paper #130136 .

You can click HERE to view the video on how to make this type of card . Same card But the video shows my 2013 Founders Circle swaps 

I also used the Flower Shop stamp set

• (w)#130939
• (c)#130942

Pansy Punch #130698

Remeber you can get both items for 15% off  when you purchase them in the  Flower Shop Bundle

• (w)#132727
• (c)#132726

 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch #119854

Whisper White card stock # 100730

•  New Mystery Hostess code : DTPM7QCH

P.S I have had alot of questions about the wire  that I added to my craft room wall  so I thought I would share  the photo here  with all of you .

Here is the kit we bought at Ikea and also the clips  to hang  goodies  from the wire ..I believe the kit has  25 ft of wire so you can adjust it to any size you want.  I used it  for the whole length of my main wall.

Here is what my wall looks like ( Lots of space to hang lots of   goodies ) .

Have a Fabulous Monday Friends !

Until later .. Happy Stampin!

Dawn's Sunday Share 9-29-2013

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

Last night we had our stampers club meeting and I am not sure what happened But when I woke up Saturday morning  My head was  congested  just feeling yucky  but as the day went on I started feeling better But after club was over  I started feeling worse again .

Not sure what is going on ... Maybe a lack of sleep the last week while at Founders Circle and Advisory Board has finally caught up with me . I really hope I feel better soon .

Club night is always fun  and  Thank goodness for the Amazing swaps  we got at Founders circle because I cased 2 of them  for club . I will share  them later this week .We missed you Laurie and Laura.

Look what Jessie bought for me . It's Dill Pickle popcorn . We opened it last night at club  and  for the most part I think  everyone liked it, I know I loved it .. Hubby not so much .

I will get some photos added to my gallery from Founders Circle and Advisory Board soon .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday  friends !

This past week my Father in law and Jody went home and now it seems really quite  in the Griffith house .

While they were here  Dad and hubby painted our spare bedroom .

The boys also added  shelves to my inspriational wall.

The Boys also had a spa day getting Father / Son pedicures for Dad's Birthday .

 

Then they both finished off the day in the hot tub. We had  such a Great time together  and 1 thing Jody and I both noticed is that our boys can't still for 5 minutes & It's even worse when they're together LOL !

This upcoming week I will be working on my monthly newsletter  and making a couple more videos  for the time I will be away at Founders Circle and Advisory Board .

This past week I finally  got all of my (3) favorite things to  give my Fellow Advisory Board members  + Shelli & Sara . The last of my Favorite things I just about laughed till I peed my pants .

For those of you that fellow my blog you  should all now what the (2)  things will be LOL!  BUT  you won't know what the actual items will be  ( so funny ) .

The 3rd gift I made for everyone . I was actually planning on making all (3) favorite things BUT  last week changed my mind .

 I will share everything I am giving them the week the Advisory Board  get together since I want it to be surprise .

Hi Stampers :

Happy 1st day of September  friends !

Hard to believe it's September already .

Yesterday we celebrated  our 25th anniversary  and look what Hubby gave me . My ring has a new ( BIG) Diamond ( most of you remember a couple years ago I lost the diamond  riding down I-75  on Hubby's Harley)  PLUS a 25th anniversary band  to go with it .

I  have been taking so many pictures of my beautiful ring But the photos  don't turn out very well  BUT I think these 2 photos capture  all the sparkle ~ some what .

• It's so Beautiful !

This week I will be taking my rings in to get soldered together

I gave him new Leather Chaps  and a new waterproof jacket for next years Hoka Hey ride to Alaska . I LOVE you Honey!

Yesterday we also celebrated my Father in Law's 69th Birthday . We all went to Arts Beats and Eats  in Royal Oak  with our Jessie and Pat  for the afternoon .

This last week I  had my 6 month check in on my leg  and everything looks Great.  Next check in will be my 1 year Anniversary in Feb.

This last weekend  we had our 1st Fried Turkey  OMG!  so so yummy  we made a 12 lb turkey and it cooked in less than 45 minutes and was the best turkey we have ever had .

I have a feeling fried turkey is going to be made alot around here .

Our Neighbors dog ( Logan)  comes over to visit  us often  and he is such a cutie and  looks so much like our Bowzer . Well here he is  chilling out in our garage  while we were making the Turkey  I laugh every time I see him lay down with his legs  spread out behind him  so funny .

This week  we are having a Glitter Queens Blog Hop.

Today the Amazing Envelope Punch Board # 133774 is available . I have a video later this week for you on this  fun tool 

Also we have a New Butterfly Bundle  click HERE for flyer

This past Thursday  our Shelli Gardner  had a Horse riding accident and she fell  and  fractured her wrist, pelvis, and collarbone .

You can check out her Blog HERE to follow up on her .
