Hi Stamper,
Happy Sunday friends !
Yesterday we had our Stampers club get together . It's always so much fun getting together with my girls . We missed you Gina & Carol
I will share the cards we made later this week .
Remember last Sunday I shared with you that we are excited the Hubby's Harley is done getting worked on and was getting cleaned up by Justin at ABC Haley Davidson well here are the photos with it all cleaned and sparkly.
The photo's are not that GREAT but Oh my goodness it is so pretty again . Justin said it took him 12 hours to clean it .
If it wasn't for the stickers he had on his bike we may not have even noticed it was the same bike LOL! We are storing it for the winter at ABC but we can pop in and visit her whenever we want :) .
This upcoming Wednesday I will be heading to Salt Lake City for Stampin'Up! Million Dollar party . I am so excited ! Lots of fun stuff going on and I will be sure to share it all with you .
Here is my Sunday Share video .

Halloween is getting close so I have been having so much fun making these spooky cards LOL!
I used 2 stamp sets
Both are in the Holiday catalog HERE .
Those little ghosts are so cute and once I colored them in with the White Gel pen #105021, I thought they would look even better with Dazzling Diamonds # 133751 .

Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday Friends !
Had a very low key week this past week Praise God !
Hubby and I were able to go check out his Harley that's been in the shop since he returned from the Hoka Hey a couple months ago .
I put together this video of his bike as of Friday Oct 17, 2014
When we seen it they had said they washed it (3) times and it seriously didn't even look like they did anything to it.
So the next stop is letting Justin do his magic on the bike and making it really pretty and shiny again ( hubby thinks it will take a miracle but we shall see ) .
I am offically walking now full time without the cane and walking is getting much more easier and smoother. Had my follow up appointment with Dr. Hubbers this past Monday and everything is GREAT! Walking is still the best theraphy and no need to go to physical therapy ( Praise God!)
Still no bending over 90 degrees for at least another month or so . My next follow up appointment will be Dec 8th.
Notice on the Xray photo between the new hip stem and below that is where my femur rod mean up with only a 2" space between the 2. That's amazing . Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
While waiting for Dr Hubbers hubby and I took a selfie LOL!
Yesterday I designed my November thank you notes .
OMG! They are so so cute !
Must admit when designing my monthly thank you notes I try to use just a few supplies but... my November Thank you notes use many items including Washi Tape /(4) different punches / and (1) adorable stamp set :) .
Tomorrow starts the Holiday Supplement catalog ( shown above).
The items in this supplement are ONLY while supplies last . I will be posting the link to the supplement catalog tomorrow as well as sending out a quick newsletter .
Here is my Sunday Share video ~So cute .
Have a Wonderful Sunday friends !

Hi Stampers,
Happy Wednesday friends !
It looks like I am stamping again not quite all day but every chance I can get downstairs I try and stamp something fun .
Here is a fun card I made using the
I love this set such a fun collection of images .
Notice the Rhinestone cowgirl hat ?
Don't you love it ?
Lots of sparkle makes me happy .
I also love the Four Feather stamp set and matching Feathers Framelits
Don't forget you can get this stamp set and Framelits as a bundle and save 15% ( Love it!)
Can I just share with you how hard it was to pre schedule my blog posts while I recover from hip surgery ... Many of the items I shared with you over the last few weeks I was so excited to share with you when I actually made them but I had to save them for later posts ( talk about TOUGH!!!) .. so now that I am stamping again ( even if it's not alot) it seems like I am excited on the same day instead of waiting for such and such date to share~
Know what I mean ?????
Well this card was one of those moments when I finished it .
I love all the sparkle and love the combination of both stamp sets . Just looks so country to me and even though I am not a "country girl " more of a city girl I do love country music and cowboy boots and well my cowboy rides a Harley instead of a horse so I guess I am a country girl at heart right ?
Have a Fabulous Wednesday friends !
Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday Friends !
As of yesterday 25 days after surgery I'm am back to full time ~ I'm also back to posting 2 videos this week too. YAHOO!!
I am so excited and tomorrow I will be going for my follow up with my Doctor about my hip . Everything seems to be great I am driving and even walking more and more without my cane .
Still walking alittle slow and as soon as I get the clearance from the doctor I will be on my total gym strengthening my right leg/ hip.
I have been walking up and down stairs for so long with my "good" leg going up stairs & my "bad " leg going down stairs...so I really have to work on my right leg and hip so I can go up and down stairs like normal .
I really think it's more mental than anything since my fall last year with my femur and now my hip, It seems I must re-program my thinking of going up and down stairs . Just baby steps right now.
This weekend we closed up our pool.
We finally got my classroom picked up from the hot water heater leak we had right after I got home from surgery . Everything is back in it's place still need to lay more flooring down in the extra room that holds all my retired items but for the most part it's much better than before . I am ready for my club girls to come over on the 25th and then the 29th we will be heading out to Stampin'Up! for the Million dollar party .
Here is my Sunday Share video
I have 2 for you from Tina and Paul ( Love them ) . You can check out all their videos on their You Tube channel HERE
Have a Wonderful Sunday friends !
Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers ,
Happy Sunday Friends !
BIG news !!!
On Oct 1, 2014 at 9:10pm Alice M. placed her order and that order put me over 1 Million dollars in my career sales .
I have talked with Alice and will be chatting again really soon about her big surprise she will be getting .
I called her the night she placed her order and I have a video of that phone call and fireworks for the celebration below but we had a party with her answer machine LOL!
Shelli Gardner sent me a package of goodies for hitting the 1 Million milestone in the mail which I got Friday Oct 3rd .
Love all the purple ribbon and her card is purple too. Love the beautiful feathers .
Thank you Shelli & Stampin'Up! :)
Stampin'Up! is flying hubby and I out on Oct 29-31, 2013 for the
1 Million dollar party .
A BIG Thank you to every single one of my customers who have been with me from the very begining and those who are just joining me on my Stamping Journey right now . As I write this I have a MILLION things going through my mind and a Million ways to say it .
For those of you that know me know I am not one to toot my own horn . I have always been in the camp where boasting about yourself and patting your own back doesn't really get you anywhere except a HUGE ego. I don't have time for all that .
This past Thursday Stampin'Up! had posted on their Face book page about me hitting the Million Dollar milestone I can honestly say I have read every single comment everyone left over there and really I was so emotional reading about how much you all love me, my videos and my blog. I seriously felt like it was an out of body experience ONLY because all those sweet things all of you have said about me was so unexpected . Kinda like when your mom Bragg's about you and you don't know about it .
When every thing is always positive and spoken with so much love . It gave me a happy heart .
I have been blogging for over 8 years and I have always thought of my blog as a way to get others excited about stamping and crafting Plus a daily journal for myself .
Since the internet is so saturated with blogs and stamping I have ALWAYS kept focused on what I know I can do for my blog followers and my customers and for me personally .
I have always loved everything about stamping but I have always found making cards ( moving cards/ pop up cards/sliding cards etc...) has been my 1st love and anything over that was just extra fun .
As a Stamper I love it ALL but.... I know what I can do physically and mentality and I also know I can NOT give 100% of myself to everything I want to do .
When there is to much going on something is not getting 100%.
With my blog over the years I have always wanted to let you know that I will try to consistent posting fun ideas every day, posting 2 new videos each week, personally making my thank you notes for every one of my customers. I do not have an assistant.. What you see is what you get and that's my 100% .
I had also seen a lot of comments over on SU! face book page mentioning how much they love my"FREE" videos. I thought I would address that since I don't see anything wrong with other people doing that ( charging for their videos ) it's just something I will NOT do .
To be honest I struggled with that in the beginning I knew I didn't want to charge for my videos BUT it was my Pastor that preached on a message about ministering to others long story short . I want to encourage /motivate / share my love of stamping with you & If I am lucky enough to have you as a customer I am very Thankful .
PLUS I knew I didn't want to charge for my videos, because it would become a "JOB" something I would HAVE to do .
The fun for me would be over in my opinion ( The best job in the world is finding something you LOVE doing ...wouldn't you agree?).
I make my videos because I love stamping and I'm still having a lot of fun. My videos are free and will remain free .
1 thing that makes me smile is that we have been through a lot together over the years not only all the stamping fun but all the other stuff too like my knee replacements / hip replacement and yes my broken Femur last year . 1 thing is true~ when I had the accident last year with breaking my femur YOU all knew something must have happened to me since I wasn't able to post on my blog .
What a blessing that was to me because you all know me well enough that I was posting every day and if I missed a day or 2 you knew something was up yes just like the postman rain or shine , having a bad day , or I just don't want to get up ...no matter what I try and have something fun for you each day :) .
That's another thing When I started my Sunday Share I thought this would be a great time to share a little more about my family , personal things going on etc... BUT for the most part I don't share all the little aches and pains I have from RA... I mean really who wants to hear about all that stuff ( show me pretty stuff right ?) . I want my blog to be an escape from reality even if it's just for a moment . Plus don't we all have problems in life. I started my blog to share my love of stamping and to connect with all of you.
Thank you all so very much for inviting me into your home every day.
Hip Update:
I have started going downstairs last week for the 1st time. I don't go downstairs every day ... Just taking it easy but I'm still excited that I can at least go down to my studio for a little while .
I am now taking a shower without the walker. I still have to sit when blowing drying my hair and putting my make up on . walking a little off and on with my cane now .
Yesterday Oct 4, 2014 I got to drive my car for the 1st time since surgery 18 days ago YAHOO!
I see my Doctor on Oct 13, 2014 . The visiting nurse is coming once a week now instead of twice .Thank you all again for your beautiful cards and emails of well wishes . You all are the best !
Have a Wonderful Sunday friends !
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
