Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday friends ! 

We made it back from our fabulous cruise on the Allure of the Seas  PLUS we came home to close to 10"  of snow  with a  detour  in our landing  to Columbus OH.  since Detroit airport was closed to due to  an airplane sliding off the  run way right  before we  landed  so with the 6 hour delay to Columbus  we ended up  getting home  around 10 pm .

Thankful we didn't know about the  airplane sliding off the runway until we got home .

Usually  we are about 45 minute drive from Detroit airport but our drive home was over 2 hours  and so thankful  hubby drove us home safe and sound 

All he kept saying was " I sure hate driving in this mess "LOL! 

Our cruise was amazing  high 80's  for temps we  got off  in port at  Nassau  and also in St Martin hubby went scuba diving in St. Martin as well  but that was early in the morning   the rest of the day was shopping  and hitting the pool .

We also had a port in St. Thomas.

 

We love the Allure of the Seas  Royal Caribbean ( our favorite cruise line ) .

Thought seeing Zoltar was pretty  cool since Rich was  Zoltar for Halloween a couple years ago( see photo above)  .

 Hubby spoiled me  with a cruise  for my birthday next month and it was very relaxing .

We love cruising since everything is  right there  on the ship  we don't really need to even get off the ship if we didn't want to.. Sometimes  I  think it would be easier if I didn't with  going through the  scanner every time  and all my  metal body parts I have I always  require a pat down ( yes EVERY time )  I understand  it's just one of those  normal things for  me  but still ....

 

One thing we both found really different this time  cruising was  Christmas music & Christmas decorations were everywhere. It was really beautiful  which I think you can see in a few of the photos I posted  .

It's always so nice to get away  but it's always   sweet to come home  even  to snow LOL!  

Today  is a fun day of stamping...

Laurie and Liesa  are coming over to hang out for a couple hours and have  fun stamping for Christmas .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends !

Our Jessie had her 24th Birthday this past Thursday  and here is her card

 I made her to hold her gift certificates to get a Tattoo.

She loves Foxes  so she requested  that her card  have a fox on it  :) 

This next photo was taken when we celebrated Jessie's and hubby's  birthday  last Sunday. 

These photos crack me up...

Jessie has Grandma photo bombing her  and look at Tommy  giving  his 2 thumbs up on Richard's card .

I had mentioned last week I was going to share my FB live video I did for my team  since a few of my club ladies wanted to see the video too. I guess that was only fair since they are in the video :)

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday Friends ! 

I thought I would share a few things I have received from  friends;

 The cute coffee mugs  were a gift to  my hubby and myself from Annie ( one of  my local  club ladies ) 

I will be sharing my FB live video with you probably next Sunday  since I have heard from  some of my club ladies they want to see it too.

This video was a FB live that  posted  on my Glitter Queen team FB page  the night of our local club night  and since  it was posted there~ Only my team could view the video....

PLUS  I ended up  having to  edit a few places on the video  since it was filmed from my cell phone and  even though the video is 45 minutes long  I  lost connection a few times  and  that is what I  needed to splice out  since it broke up  the video .

 Anyway You will see  when my hubby opens  up his coffee mug from Annie  . 

Big Daddy is what I call him and  I love that she found a mug that said that .

Thank you Annie .

Here are a couple goodies I got  from my up line Debbie .

 

She sent me these goodies with a note attached  saying "she hoped I will not be offended by her gift" .

• What do you think ?? 

I love it  and I love my glitter !!

 Hubby and I got a good laugh .

Thank you Debbie .

We are celebrating my hubby and Jessie birthday's later this afternoon

  We are all heading to Zehnders up in Frankenmuth for dinner. 

We also  got our Christmas Tree up . It's so pretty, so sparkly and of course purple.

I wanted to let you all know I will be sharing some of the swaps from Onstage   and other cards/ goodies I received in the mail  over the next few weeks since  

Hubby is taking me on a birthday cruise. I'm so excited !

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday Friends! 

Here are a couple photos from my local stamp club last night ... Plus for the 1st time ever I did a Face Book live

 with my team while having my local stamp club ladies  over . 

I will be sharing the videos of the 2 projects we made later this week .

• We missed you Carol & Gina 

I also got most of the photo of Onstage and  also  some photos from  the Harley Museum Plus we also went to the corporate office which  check out the 1st photo from  1917 and  then the current  photo I took  while visiting the corporate office  .

The very 1st Harley  was built right across the street from the corporate office in a shed ( that landmark  has been replaced with a Coors brewery now :( .

Check out the 1917 photo look really close you can see the horse and buggy out front  

and now there are motorcycles ONLY ~ NO cages ( No cars) 

 They also have a really cool office up those stairs   with a vending machine where you can buy T-shirts and coins / pins etc...  never seen a vending machine for Harley Davidson merchandise before .

I  think I also found my  Harley LOL!  Talk about  tons of bling ... WOW! 

I have more photos I need to get off my phone  but you can view the 2016 Onstage Madison WI. photo gallery I have uploaded so far  HERE

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends !

Looks like later this afternoon we will be taking another  Harley run  with a handful of HOG friends .

Not as warm as last weekend but it's suppose to be in the 60's  and NO rain  so that only means one thing right ???

• It's a great day for a ride :)

I got (3) videos  ready for you this upcoming week .

Last week's Sunday share video didn't post ~ that was weird . ( sorry)  The video looks like it was removed  Boo Hoo!

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday Friends ! 

Well it looks like later this week on the next nice day we will be closing

our pool up for the winter ~ just saying that  makes me sad .

Yesterday we were  gone pretty all day  enjoying a awesome fall day on the Harley  with our HOG chapter group to the cider mill ( here are a few more photos ) .

There were  about 40 of us so we ended up taking (2) separate groups .

It was a gorgeous day for a ride .

 Then some of us headed to Mongolian BBQ for

a dinner date with the group  .

While we were there Hoo celebrated  his Birthday with us and they made him a this awesome hat out of foil ... even though he didn't think it was going to be that kid of hat LOL!  

After  Eating we headed over to  see Jessie  at work then headed to Rocky's  and got hubby a new helmet ....

Then our way home what's a sweetest day  without some sweet right ??

hubby and I stopped at COOKS FARM  for some  Fresh home made & oh so yummy ice cream and we even got to visit with this sweet  baby cow .

I got (3) videos filmed for you  for the upcoming week . (1) video  will be a quick tip this week .

Today I will be playing catch up  making your Thank you notes  and email's .

• Thank you for your patience .

I will be heading to ON Stage in Madison WI. in November.

I'm pretty excited to see everyone  and get caught up with a few of my glitter queens who are also attending .

OnStage is a Stampin'Up! event  for demonstrators ~ it has  been renamed  from 

what was known as  Convention . This event is only a couple days long  but I  will be 

going a few days early .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Yesterday Hubby came home from work and kidnapped me  for a over night date ( just him and I )~  WOW! 

Good thing I had everything pretty much caught up  and  the things that  I didn't get to will just have to wait until we get back home this afternoon.

• How fun... Never had a last minute over night date  !!

I snapped this photo of us  as were were on our way  headed North bound up I-75

I really had no idea where he was taking me  but then it slipped out .... We were  headed up  to Frankenmuth Mi.  

Just hanging out  walking the strip at night and hitting all the  shops on the main strip  which we haven't done before .

Usually  when we head up there we  always go to Bronners  BUT.... we did not  go to this time ( that's another trip  for another day ) 

I did get (2) videos  filmed for you  yesterday  and Friday I finished a project that I will show you on Monday .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

WOW what a busy last couple of months . I love summer time  which I think is always the busiest time of year  for everyone .

The last couple months  seemed extra busy and I think it was  just my down time that may have set me back a few days  with the latest boo boo on my leg  but  this weekend I think ( knock on wood)  everything seems  back on track . 

Last weekend was the Stamp-a-palooza  event with my Glitter Queen Dee and  her team .

We got together  at Davette's the night before Stamp-a-Palooza with Dee's team to chat and of course  create .

Such an awesome time .

OH in case you missed it in the photo below LOL! ~ check out Davette's craft room OMG!!  pretty amazing ! 

What an awesome Stamp-a-Palooza it was  .

I shared a couple photos on my FB page  and so many said they want to  come next year so I am sending out a  Save the Date  for next year .

• Plan on the the last Saturday of September 2017.

Of course I  add the info to my monthly newsletter closer to the time PLUS Dee has a early bird  registration ( at least she has in the past ) but all those details are shared in my newsletter  so be sure to sign up for that HERE 

It's an awesome day of creating and hanging out with fellow stampers .

OMG! Look what Barbara  brought  for me....

YUMMY~ Dill Pickle Cashews . Yes they are yummy .  

After my presentation  Dee and Linda presented me with this amazing gift .

Look it's  the motorcycle from my Million Dollar stamp set One Wild Ride  pulling the sleigh  from the Santa's Sleigh  stamp set and Thinlits Bundle #143499 .

OH MY GOODNESS  it's so beautiful and  look at all the sparkles . Thank you  so much  I love it and  it will always have special place in my studio .

-----------------------------------------------------------

Last night  was my local  stamp club .

I had a request for Halloween Themed projects and  that we make 3-d projects...  so I ended up having (3) projects.

(1 ) a little more involved  and the other (2) were slightly  quicker and easier but all 3 projects  are super cute and  yes I will be sharing the projects via  videos over the next couple weeks.

We missed you 

• Gina
• Carol 
• Patty
• Harriet
• Annie

I'm not sure if any of you  are on the Pumpkin Spice bandwagon...

 I  know for me I love it but, I love it all year long not just at fall time.

I even have a candle wax warmer in my studio so it always smells  so yummy  when crafting .  Hey I think that  should  always be a staple in crafting  just like Music  should be on and  Chocolate should be somewhere near by and your favorite beverage ...

Don't you think those are the top (4) things every craft room should have ?

• well beside of course the obvious  ( stamps/ ink / card stock  etc...) 

My leg HERE is healing well and I had my stitches taken out  right before leaving for the Stamp-a-Palooza event  and I forgot to mention My Hubby  took the staples out .

 Now don't judge me but we even used my Paper Snips #103579 to remove the stitches Yes I sterilized them  and Hubby sterilized them twice ( can't be to careful).

 

They worked AWESOME !  Those fine tip points  seriously rock for removing stitches and apparently I wasn't the only one to think to use my Paper Snips to remove stitches...   at Stamp-a-Palooza event Summer  said she used hers to remove the stitches from her son, and you thought I was the only one that thought outside the box  for stitch removal LOL!

I couldn't actually see  the back of my leg so I was quite surprise that the stitches were  bright blue ....Hummmm interesting I wonder if they could have gave me purple stitches  . I just always  thought  stitches were  in Black~ go figure . 

Here is my Sunday Share video I seen it come across on FB~ Love it !

 

This video  reminds me of Jessie and our Bowzer years ago .

Jessie use to play hide and seek  with him. I thought this video is so funny and

brought back many memories  of our Jessie and Bowzer .

Speaking of Jessie every once in a while I get emails asking about how she is doing .

She is still cutting hair just not in a salon. She is still licensed  as a cosmetologist  but she is working at Huntington Bank  as a personal Banker now .  Jessie actually  called me  this past Friday asking if  we could meet for lunch since she was in the area for  job training ( personal loans ) and of course  YES.

Jessie took this photo of  her & I  and I also snagged this other photo from her FB page ( she is so beautiful .. I know I know  she is my daughter  but I still think she is the most beautiful girl  ever .

Have a fabulous Sunday  friends ! 

 

Thanks for peeking in 

Until later... Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Hard to believe that 9-11 happened 15 years ago . I still remember where I was the  minute it all happened.

I think most of us  still can recall   where we were and what we were doing that terrible day .

We shall NEVER forget ! 

******************************************

I  thought I would give you a update on my  leg  from last Saturday  night .

Like I had mentioned it was a freak accident  and without going into to many details  about all that,

I will say it was all a blur since it happened so fast .

Rich said I  could tell everyone I got a shark bite in our pool while surfing .

That story is so funny on so many levels ~  but I do like it since, the cut I got looks like a shark bite LOL! 

 I posted photos HERE in case you want to  take a peek at them.

The photos are not the worse I've ever seen  yes a little  bloody  but  then again

I've seen a lot with my legs over the years LOL!  

• so just in case I posted them over there (mainly for me to locate them).

Yup got 18 stitches  and the blood was everywhere

•  ( Living Room / Bedroom/ Bathroom)  

Thank Goodness Jessie and Tommy were there  and Jessie  got all the blood  cleaned up  off all the carpet .

all I  really remember was that I seen blood and skin was hanging  and I knew it wasn't good .

Hubby said we are going to the ER ~ off we went.

Doctor Prescribed me (2) Antibiotics  Plus I got  a tetanus  shot ... that was a breeze LOL!   

Doctor finally seen me 3 hours later and said it was a good clean slice ( if there can be anything good like that I guess that's the kind you want and not a puncher / hole )

We  finally left the ER around 1:30 am Sunday morning .

 This past week I was feeling  terrible for like (4 ) days  started on Monday one of the Antibiotics said not to take with milk or yogurt and  of course may cause Dizziness and Nausea  which is what I felt  I was  a little concerned  after the 3rd day and called the Pharmacist and  he said its totally normal and  to keep taking the RX  and if I had any other concerned I should call the doctor .

 The good news was I was 1/2 through  taking the 10 days supply ( Thank Goodness ) . I seriously never have felt like that  with medication~ Yucky !!!  

The good news the next day I seriously felt so much better . I am not sure if I was  having a reaction to the meds or the tetanus shot ( is there such a thing ) .

Fast forward here we are 1 week  after the event . Hubby is cleaning and changing  my  boo boo  since I can't see it on the back of my left  calf . Doctor said for me to keep it covered,  It's looking  great not itching yet but I'm sure that's going to start  any day now . 

I'm am just going on the record  right now and  saying I am so OVER things happening to my legs .

The  nurse at the ER  said well I don't think you will be a leg model  ~

• Ugghhhhh REALLY  ya think ??  I could have told you that LOL! .

My Hubby  said  all those  wonderful scars are my battle wounds .

 That's great BUT please Lord NO MORE battle wounds .

Dawn's Sunday Share August 28, 2016

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday friends ! 

As promised I  am going to share a bunch of  photos  from our Glitter Queens retreat  we has last weekend .

I'm a firm believer in that it's not always the "event " that makes it  so amazing but it's all the people  that  attend that make it so Awesome  and our Glitter Queens event is  that kind of event .

I call it my SOUL filling fun ! I know it sounds like a cliche' but  you really have to be here to experience this event .

Since my home can sleep comfortably (6) I limit  this yearly  event to 6  this keeps the costs down for my ladies  who are driving in  from all over and not having to pay for a hotel . ( I must admit though I am thinking one day it may be  HUGE  and a Hotel is  the only place that could possibly hold all  of us in the future ).

I know there  is always  a part of the event  each year that happens no matter what  after that it changes every year ..

One of those must do things  at the event we have a shoe box swap  that we all make each other swap  and then I  film each glitter queen making their shoe box swap on video . This video is shared  then with our whole team  so everyone feels a part of the event  even if they couldn't come . 

The videos  are such a highlight for me personally  because  I see the improvement  every year  and trust me everyone is so nervous making their video  doesn't matter if it's the 1st time/ 3rd time or 100th time  definitely everyone  feels out of their comfort zone but that's okay we are all in this together .

• Let me just say they all rocked the house this year.

This  also hopes them see how I film my videos.  Even though this year we didn't have time to edit a video while everyone was here, I try and show them  what I do  on the editing process as well in past years . This year we added 2 more GQ to our retreat ~~~~ if ONLY we had 1 more day ( I felt like this  the whole weekend ).

Every year I try and have at least 1 group project  but this year I had (3)  and even though I will not be making  public videos  on those 3 projects I will be making (2) of those videos  ONLY  for my FSM Club members for September .

We all  decided we need an extra day ( Thursday )  to add to our retreat  since  all the pillow gifts we each received , we all decided we want to have each GQ demo her pillow gift so we can all make it .....so adding  the extra day is still in the works for next year  PLUS I believe all (6) ladies are coming back  for 2017 ( God willing ).

Back to the 1st part of my blog post saying  it's the people that make an event so amazing  these ladies  are all so awesome and trust me you would think there would be so much "DRAMA"  with 7 women under 1 roof  ~  NO drama going on.

Each woman is so strong and we all got to share  a little  more of our life which makes the connection so much more deeper  and the trust hummm lets just say what happens at  our retreat stays  under wraps ( well  except the fun )  .

I am so thankful for Stampin'Up!  I have always said  Stampin' Up! brought us together but it's the friendships  that make is  so much more sweeter. 

What is so awesome too is  the ladies include my hubby with pillow gifts . Funny story  about the photo above . Kris had gave me a pillow gift  which is  what my hubby is holding and  we all laughed because as you can see they are Boxer shorts with Pickles ...

OH my goodness the  laughs we all got from those . I  have received so many awesome "pickle" items over the years  because everyone knows I love purple and  I love pickles .

Over the years I have received Pickle

• Mints
• Toothpaste
• Band aids
• ice cub tray 
• Christmas ornament 
• chips
• peanuts
• candy canes  

the list goes on ...

BUT never  ever seen Pickle boxer shorts and of course I know why Kris gave them to me for her pillow pillow ( Love them Kris )  and you all know why I passed them on to my hubby LOL! 

This year for our 1st night together we had each of the glitter queen take the photo of all of us holding her pillow gift she gave us . ( What a brilliant idea  I can't remember who thought of that )

so below are all the pillow gifts we all got Friday night  before all the stamping  started. Plus I added the photo of  each GQ with me with  the frame I put together last minute so you will know  their face  with their name .

This pillow gift is from Stacey Etched mugs with A7W root beer inside  with a sweet goodie bag even had root beer hard candy  ( below)

This pillow gift is from Dee made us a really adorable note cards  with a sweet holder (below)

This pillow gift is from Kathie a super cute tea light holder made with the Floral Framelits ( below)

 

This pillow gift is from Davette hand made  beautiful goody bags  filled with lots of candy (below)

This pillow gift is from Kris ( Scarf  in a super cute box she made) remember I got the pickle boxers too (below )

This Pillow gift is from Megan beautiful covered Note pads

 

The flowers we made as a group project and since we all made 1 each I  thought it would be fun to hang them up for our backdrop behind our frame photos  . Pretty fancy huh?

Here are the ladies holding their pretty flowers .

They look like cheerleaders ~ so cute! 

After a full day Saturday  of making videos / making everyone shoe box swap/ 3 rd group project  then we headed to dinner at Detroit  Burger bar  ( amazing ).

 

Stacey had to slip out to a wedding  for a couple hours when we headed to dinner  she was at the wedding  so  we still  needed her to film her video. I told her we  should have made a Flat Stacey LOL!  Hopefully you all know what that is ... It's Stacey's photo on a stick  and everywhere we went Stacey went with us LOL! 

Davette got her yearly Harley ride with my hubby.

 For the record Davette is the ONLY other woman that gets to ride with my man (besides my mom and Jessie of course).

We also got to video her on FB live  for a couple minutes.  Such a fun time !

 Leaving  dinner  Davette and Hubby switched riding places on the Harley ( Hilarious !) 

 

We all came back  got in our jammies and  everyone wanted to make a super over the top card  ( I will be  posting that video later this week ) some of us ate ice cream ...

OH and lets not forget the  fun we had with the funny face coasters

 I bought the coasters  Amazon HERE. 

 Here is a photo of the 2 other Pillow gifts I gave my Glitter Queens for Friday night and Saturday night 

The top bag has the goodies everyone needed to make our Group project for Saturday and the  yellow bags for Saturday nights pillow gift....  well lets just say  my Glitter Queens all know what's inside those bags LOL! 

Then Sunday was here in a blink of an eye .

Seriously  our weekend together goes by so fast .

I had to take a photo of  everything the Glitter Queens brought . Pretty amazing  we never tripped over anything  the whole weekend LOL! 

I try and give my Glitter Queens a going home gift usually a goodie bag  with  all kinds of things like

Stampin' Dimensionals / Glue / of course Dazzling Diamonds  stuff like that .

We are already  getting excited about next year .

Thanks for  stopping by  and checking out all the fun we had last weekend .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Update on Richard's back  appointment .

 The doctor we seen is one not to jump right into surgery phase (Praise God) .

Rich is starting therapy this upcoming Tuesday

Doctor gave him (6) appointments  and if he doesn't start to feel any better by the 3rd visit  he is to call him back and  we will go from there .

The next step would be injections  then the final  step would be surgery .

Here is one of the X-ray's  you can see his  lower back has a few issues and even a bone spur . 

Thank you all for your prayers . Keep them coming please .

Next weekend my  Glitter Queens 3rd annual retreat is happening .

• Still so much to get done .

I did  get (5) videos filmed  already  and I still need to get (2) more  filmed .

I still need  to get  everything packaged up really cute  and get ready for  some major  stamping fun with my girls .

This year we have a full house  every bed  will be filled with  (2) Glitter Queens per bed.

I have our retreat at our home so it keeps the costs down for my girls,

 plus everything we need for stamping is already here . :) 

• Oh my goodness  I can't even  tell you how excited I am .  

Guess what ?

Our Jessie bought a new truck ( GMC Terrain)  and we got to  take a spin in it this weekend  

We even got to meet ( Jessie's boyfriend ) Tommy's parents ( Photo below)  .

We had so much fun .

Of course on the way back to get my car we all had a  a blast singing car karaoke ( Budapest by George Ezra)  .

I posted that video on my FB  maybe some of you seen it ~  pretty awesome ~ but trust me when I say....we will not give up our day job's  LOL!

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

This past Friday night My hubby had his final session on his sleeve tattoo  with Larry . I  shared a  couple videos on my Face book page  which you may have seen over there . I also shared a  quick video on my Instagram account HERE  

Here are a few photos  from Friday night .

This collage of photos is Larry finishing up on the wrist section .

He hand drew the  piece on his wrist with a sharpie .

He then added  a lot of white ink to make it all pop( above )  . 

 It is seriously the most beautiful tattoo I have ever seen  and I'm not just saying that because this master piece  is on my man's arm . Its so stunning and all the little hidden messages and hidden  things through out his tattoo make it even better.

 Larry did an amazing job  and Rich is already thinking  about his other arm  but that won't be any time  to soon . 

I will try and get photos of the certain placing on his tattoo  with a little more meaning that  just gears and  mechanical stuff .

Now we need to keep hubby out of the pool for a few weeks until it's healed .

I got (3) Videos filmed  for you  this upcoming week .  Really cute projects  .

I used the Fox Builder punch and then I filmed 2 projects ( a card and a treat bag )   using the  adorable  embellishment we will be making  with the Fox builder  punch.  

Here is my Sunday share video for you . I must say these puppies  eat really  good together .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

The photo above are all the riders who took part of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge this year . Finally my man  is in the front row .

•  front right side ... Do you see him ? 

Since he is so tall ( 6'5" ) he is usually in the very back and can hardly see him . 

I also sent out my monthly newsletter with a couple extra stats that I thought I would share those with you today  in case you missed it .

Rich rode through 37 states this year . 

• (34) from the Hoka Hey ride 
• (3) extra states from his ride out to California .

I also shared the total raised  from all of you that donated and  also from our Harley's for Heroes charity ride  for Operation Injured Soldiers total so far is $ 5,000.

• Thank you all so much .

Today we are going to be having some fun with  swimming  in our pool this afternoon and having a BBQ.

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday  friends ! 

I totally forgot to share  something that happened at our Harley dealer  here in Waterford MI .

While hubby was on his Hoka Hey  ride our  favorite ( one of our favorites )  guy at ABC Harley ~Gary ~who Rich and I call "Staff" ( private joke )  anyway....

Gary sold a Harley to  our very own home boy Bob Seger

• NO kidding. Check out the  photos ( above)  

Yeah Gary was pretty excited and  he said  we would never know it was "BOB "  the rock star  since he is so down to earth .  Oh My Gosh ~ That's so  awesome !!  

We got hubby's Harley in the shop and  was waiting on the insurance adjuster to come and see all the work that needs to be done on his Harley .

After the Hoka Hey it is usually intense and this year is no different .

There are  2 pages of  issues  that need to be fixed .

Here are just a few items 

• Front & Rear suspension 
• Swing Arm Bushing 
• Brake Rot0rs 
• Compensator 
• Rear Sprocket

The 1st thing on the list was to wash it and make it pretty again . 

This afternoon we will be be taking part of the The Annual Charity Ride to benefit  Ronald McDonald House

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

I thought I would share a couple photos with you of my Hubby's adventure on the Hoka Hey.

This year was unlike the other 3 he has done . Of course the map made all the difference  on his journey  .

This year he got to see our great friends from CT.and ME.

3rd check point was in RI and  look who he got to see ~ Patty Chenail ~

Paul had to work the day Rich arrived but  he still got to see Patty  .

Patty and Paul live in CT  but the Harley Davidson shop  in RI was one of the check points this year and  Patty and Paul live  like 25 minutes from there so while watching the map we kinda of  guessed on his arrival and it was awesome !!

She even posted a Face book live video of him and her when he checked in .

Next he got to see our great friends in Maine Opie and Karen and Tyler ( Casey lives in TX) 

You may remember me mentioning sending Tyler this Graduation card I made him HERE .

Oh my goodness  is was so GREAT!  Opie called me  after he got to see Rich ( which was  only  a few moments until he had to leave to get on the road again ) and he said that seeing him made  his day / his week/  his whole year  and if he would have been  like 1/2 hour later they ( Opie and Karen ) were leaving to go camping  for the Holiday weekend . That's perfect timing !

Plus Opie said he  wishes he wasn't going camping cause he would have got on his Harley and rode with him a  few hours  following him on  the Hoka Hey .

Here is his friend Glenn with my hubby at the finish line . He sent Rich off the morning he left and  he was there to see him  cross the finish line too .

Right before  I left for the finish line on Saturday I got this package in the mail from our friends Christina & Jake Crawford . OH my goodness  I love our shirts  thank you  so much ! 

Thank you all again so  much for your prayers and support for the Operation Injured Soldiers  for this years Hoka Hey ride .

I want to tell you all this is my hubbys' last ride with the Hoka Hey  but he has other things lined up  so those that got addicted to following the map LOL! stay tuned .

Yesterday we went to our friends Steve and Linda's Daughter Whitney's wedding .

If you have been following my blog over the many years ...

You may remember the graduation cards I made for Whitney way back in 2008 ( photo above) .

Here is the updated  peek a boo card like I made for Whitney

• click HERE for that video 

Yes our little Whitney got married  yesterday to Mike .... Such a beautiful wedding .

Here is a photo from yesterday of Steve and Linda ( Whitney Mom and Dad and our  sweet friends )

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ,

Hubby is still riding across USA  this morning .

He reached the 1st checkpoint in Billings, Montana and had to get his oil changed and get a new back tire . 

In 96 hours since he left CA  our friend Glenn has been tracking all the "Guy details " 

like mileage /hours / states etc... 

It's so awesome  Glenn is doing this not only for him but for Rich to see when he gets home .

Here is Glenn's latest  detail sheet on Rich's journey as of yesterday at 9 am 

As for me.... I haven't been able to focus on much~ hardly any stamping either.

I do have  videos done for my July FSM club  but that's seriously  about all I've  got done this past week .

Watching the map is very addicting plus  when he  stops to get gas he usually gives me a call, so everything gets put on the back burner .

Here are a few photos I put together of the friends  he got to see so far plus  a few places he sent me photo of when he was passing through .

Happy Sunday Friends ! 

Happy Father's Day !

Not much happening on the home front .

Hubby is getting ready to head out on his 4th Hoka Hey Motorcycle  Challenge this upcoming Tuesday June 21, 2016 

• Don't forget to Follow him HERE on the Tracker Map .

This Fathers Day  I'm still celebrating my amazing hubby while he is away, by making him an " over the top "card .

I know he won't get it  today... BUT when I see him in a couple weeks  at the finish line is when I will give it to him .

That means I should wait to share his card I made  ....

Since I want him to get it 1st  ( Even though I sent him a  text with the photo of it today )

 We know that's not quite the same  so in the mean time I will get a video filmed on this

 AMAZING card  to share with you after I  give it to him .

Yes of course I  used the fabulous  One Wild Ride stamp set  LOL! 

Okay here is a sneak Peek :)

That's it ...  Hey any more than that I  would have to show the whole card LOL! 

Thank you  everyone who emailed me and or text me about donating to Operation Injured Soldiers 

• You all are so Awesome !

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday friends ! 

Last night we have our  stamp club  with  my local  ladies . We  always have so much  fun stamping and of course lots of  laughing .  We  missed you  Laura , Peggy, Gina & Carol .

We made (2)cards for our make & takes  using the brand new InColors, plus a couple brand new stamp sets.

I will be sharing those cards / videos with you later this week .

Today  we are  doing a Harley run for Operation Injured Soldiers.  

It's that time of the year again ....  Hubby is leaving this week to head out to California for the Hoka Hey,  

• which starts on June 21, 2016.

This year the ride will be 12 days of hard riding and will be about  10,000 miles ( Not including riding out to CA. )  

 I will be sharing the tracker map  info with you next week,  just remember his riding  # 725 ....

This will be his 4th Hoka Hey and the only one in Michigan who finished and qualified all  (4 ) times  .

Yes he is NOT  trailing his bike  but rather riding it out .  This means  he will have  thousands of miles already on his  ride  before it even starts .

This year he is riding his Ultra Limited  Harley which we are thinking  will be a lot more comfortable  for him ... well I guess it doesn't matter after  thousands of miles . 

Finish line will be Irving NY. and I will be heading out there to greet him at the finish line  and we will be  staying for the  end of the line party on July 2nd ~ which will be AMAZING! 

•  He has  said this will be his last one~ but we shall see .

Hubby is riding to bring awareness and asking  for donations to Operation Injured Soldiers 

Just know there is NO money going towards Rich's Hoka Hey ride ~

• all money donated goes toward the Operation Injured Soldiers fund.
  

He is bringing awareness to this amazing Non-Profit organization.

• You would like to donate click HERE  

Please if possible make a note  Hoka Hey Rich Griffith Rider #725

Thank you  so much  for supporting our soldiers !

Until June 30, 2016 you will get $35  in extra Stampin Rewards

when your order reaches $350.00 or more before S&H and tax) .

• That’s more money you can use for products in the new annual catalog

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday friends!

I have been busy this last week and guess what?? so far I have (6) videos filmed and  ready to post while we are on the incentive trip with SU! over the next couple weeks 

I have  2 videos for you this week.

While I'm away  I will be sharing my Million Dollar stamp set projects that I designed for my presentation last month at Onstage but they all got cut from my presentation only because I was only allowed 10 minutes to present on my stamp set so  all the extras I will share with you  over the next few weeks .

I filmed ( 2 ) of the 4 videos  that will be posted once the new catalog goes live the week of June 1, 2016 ....

1 of these cards I filmed a video on I shared for my presentation and the other video is one I made swaps  for .

The other (3) projects I shared for my "One Wild Ride " stamp set presentation will also have a video but will post those later .

I will also be sharing a few swaps I received from my friends at OnStage and also gifts ( R.A.K= Random Acts of Kindness)  from friends over the next few weeks .

 Today's goodies came from my friend Debbie . Thank you Debbie.

Love your cards and  also the adorable #Blessed bag~ which is  in my favorite color too I might add :)  .

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Mothers Day !

I made my mom a card But I will share that with you  tomorrow  since I know she is on here :) and I will be giving her card to her later today .

• Happy Mothers day Mom I love you !

Today we are going out for dinner for Mothers Day and meeting up with Jessie and Tommy and my Mom and Bill .

 

Yesterday My Hubby took a 1,000 mile Iron Butt ride with our friend Glenn they left at 5:30 am .

The 1,000 ride was only in Michigan . Now we need to send in the paper work to collect the Iron Butt  mileage and patches . 

 Friday Hubby  got his  2nd part done to his tattoo this week.

The 1st part was Tuesday and then he got the clock  added on Friday .

This tattoo is so amazing in real life .

The clock  I had mentioned last week was Romans 10:9 ( the 10:9 are the clock hands )   But not sure if you knew this or not BUT the clock underneath the top clock is a reflection of the 10:9 so it reflects back up to him when he looks down at it. This clock is on the inside part of his forearm  .

• Is that AWESOME or what ?

 It's beautiful~ truly a piece of  art work . Thank you Larry .

The next session will be after we get back from the incentive trip  with Stampin'Up!  and that will be more than likely the last  sitting  for this tattoo  sleeve at least that's the plan ... 

I  got a couple videos filmed for this upcoming week just need to edit and upload them .

 I also got my cards for my Glitter Queen's  top (10 ) for April made and mailed out yesterday as well.

Hi Stampers,

 Happy Sunday friends ! 

Hubby is still  getting work done on his Tattoo  to finish his sleeve  and this is the next part he is adding to  his inside forearm This is the  rough draft  from Larry ( you all know our famous Larry Farley right ?) 

This is what Rich was telling Larry what he wanted and this is what he designed out ~OMG!! 

I have a blog candy for you today.....

YOU must leave your comment today  below this blog post before  11:30 pm eastern time  tonight .

The 1st correct answer with the WHOLE meaning will receive  a blog candy  from me.

Here is the question :

• What hidden message ( whole message)  does my husbands  tattoo "rough draft"  shown above reveal ? 

Update  5:25 pm Christine Geary got the correct answer .

• The top gear is Romans 10:9 

(KJV)  Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead , thou shalt be saved .

He will be starting on this part of his tattoo this upcoming week.

 I will be sure to share a photo once he gets it done since I know it will be so much better than the photo .

As many of you know the new catalog is coming out in 1 month and  this is the 1 month of the year I really struggle  since I love  getting new goodies  and playing with all of them  but  I know the catalog isn't going live  for 1 month so  there is NO way to purchase the items I am showing you  BUT  this would be a great time to  mark down your favorites you see  and add them to your wish list . Trust me when I say there  are so many  AWESOME new goodies .

This week I will be sharing a few new items you will be able to get on June 1st  so get your wish list out .

Need a WISH LIST click HERE 

Here are some fun facts about the new  2016/17  catalog 

• There is 212 pages in the new catalog 
• It took 19 months from start to finish 
• 175 new Tool & Accessories 
• 377 New Products 
• 450 product samples 

It's is AWESOME!! 

This afternoon we have a GRS ( Group Riding Seminar ) with our HOG chapter this will be our 2nd GRS and I am sure we will learn something new again this year . We can never be to safe out there  and riding with a group is totally different than riding alone .

Speaking of our  HOG chapter I am  sharing the group photo I shared with everyone at convention during my presentation . Our LOH  event  we had at my home I had mentioned to all of the ladies that  my Million Dollar stamp set was  going to be a motorcycle  but NOT any motorcycle it  was my hubby's Harley and of course all the ladies wanted it  even before they seen it. 

I mentioned to them once I got the set ( I didn't know the following week I was going to ask to present on my stamp set and also get it sent to me early ) I would make them all a little thank you note using the stamp set in a lady rider kind of way . 

Here we all are holding the cards I made them using the One Wild Ride stamp set .  

• I just want to say for the record I think personally this is the best stamp set ever!  :)

I will be filming all the cards (5) I made for my presentation  plus this thank you note ( above)  for Onstage using my One Wild Ride stamp set and those video will post next month .

Such an awesome Masculine stamp set but hey a great set for all those lady riders too :) . I love all the images in my set and all the  greetings are awesome too PLUS there is a Route 66  tiny stamp  gotta love that .

Happy to report I got hundreds and hundreds of new catalogs ordered and  those will be  mailed out around May 9th, if you didn't make my  SU! mailing, don't worry I will have a lot of new catalogs on hand as well and will still send them out personally to all my new customers .

Please let me know  if you do NOT get your new catalog by June 1st .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Just when I thought that Spring was here ~ Guess what ???  it snowed again last night ... not much but enough to not be able to  go riding with our H.o.g chapter this afternoon ~ bummer ! 

We finished Hubby's sleeping bag shell the only thing left to do now is add a sealer to the top head piece seam.

Here is a photo of him all snuggled in  LOL! 

Yesterday I got (2) videos filmed for you all  this upcoming week  and seriously that's about all I got done ...so hopefully between everything we got going on today I will try and get a few things  made up  for the non video days .

• Slowly but surely my checklist is getting checked ...

Still need to make my swaps . Usually I share a video while I am at convention on my swaps BUT I  will have to share all those with you at a later date since I am using my  Million Dollar stamp set ( hey did I mention I'm excited !) 

I pretty much got all my projects ready for my convention presentation too~ Yahoo! 

I am heading to the jeweler this week to get my rings re-sized  they are getting really loose  and  I don't want to lose those .

Hi Stampers ,

Happy Easter Sunday friends !

This past Friday was  the 2nd Stamp-a-Stack . 

• We had a great time .

Above is a collage of a few photos  of the fun time we had stamping .

 This past Tuesday  was the 2nd sitting on my hubby's  next phase of his tattoo sleeve that Larry is working on .

WOW!  I will share photo's when Larry does some shading,  right now it's pretty much the outline  BUT it's so awesome ! 

So You are  probably wondering what  I got  from Stampin'Up!  about a week an a half ago ...

I got a call  from Stampin'Up!  home office  asking me to do a Main Stage presentation  for On Stage aka "Convention" next month... BUT  if that wasn't exciting enough guess what else ???

I get to do my presentation using my Million Dollar stamp set we designed .

• OH MY GOODNESS~  I am so stinking excited !!  

As much as I would totally love to share with you my stamp set ( It's so AWESOME!!! )  I  can't share any details  until it's actually released  which  my set will be in the next NEW Annual catalog.

So needless to say I have been so obsessed  with  this stamp set ~  I love everything about it ~ yes  EVERYTHING!! 

I  filmed ( 2 ) videos for you this upcoming week both will be cards we made from our Stamp-a-Stack .

The other cards  will be showcased in April & May for only my FSM club members. 

 

 I wanted to share with you all so you can mark your calender's  for next

• Saturday April 2nd at 8 pm Eastern time .

I was invited to be a guest  stamper with Kylie Bertucci & her team from Australia .

The idea was that her and her team will case a project they found on my blog, Then they will  

• Re-create / CASE = Copy and Selectively  Edit

 one of my designs into a design of their own . The case can be really anything they get inspiration  from..

I will also be joining in on "Casing "myself  ( That should be fun ! )

• The card design
• The  designer  paper
•  The stamp set

 or whatever they choose .

I'm pretty excited to see what everyone makes using my designs as inspiration to their creative project/s .

This week I will be working on

• My swaps for On Stage~ I need (40) 
• Designing my April Thank you notes .
• Making my videos for my FSM Club Members

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Last night's Stamp-a-Stack was so much fun! 

We  had 4 ladies ( Michelle, Megan, Terrie, Kathy ) who visit my blog come and stamp with us ...

• (one day I will have to share the story of Michelle and Megan) .

Plus (2) ladies ( Patty & Cathy ) from  my LOH ( Ladies of Harley)  group  and my  friend Peggy  all stamped yesterday  .  

After  of course a few  tips & tricks  on all the cards they were going to make  everyone  signed  a bag with their name  so they could keep all their  cards in one place  without mixing them up with someone else .

Everyone  got  their own  sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals  and  they could use  however many they wanted since they were using their own LOL!  .  Then it was on to  all the stamping fun!

We finished  up around 9/ 9:30 which was amazing since we had 7 ladies and all stamped 8 cards.

• It was so much fun! .

Remember we are doing it again this upcoming

• Friday March 25, 2016 at 3:00 pm 

I still have  spots open if you want to attend . I just need to know .

 

I thought I would share this  video again about the updating your account( No contact)  .

I have been  getting many orders lately  form  some that  are  clicking the  box  that tells me they do NOT want  any contact BUT then they use my hostess code . I have no idea who is placing the order so I can 1st of all  send you a small  Hostess code gift PLUS I would love to send you a  thank you note as well as catalog/s .

Please know if you have been placing orders from me and have NOT heard anything from me  this is  probably the reason . Please watch this video ( below)  and I will show you how to changed that information, That's if you want to change that . 

• You can click HERE for more details on my FSM Club/ Rewards  

 

This afternoon  we are getting our taxes done . Always a  relief to get them  done but it's very stressful   thinking if I remembered everything  since our  tax accountant  is like 45 minutes-hour away it's not like I can just drive home and get  something if I forgot it ....and then the "I hope we paid in enough".

I pay in quarterly  for my  business and  even though my account adjusts my payments  for the upcoming year it's always based on the previous year.  I will just been happy when it's done .

I have been  busy making the  stamp -a-stack cards PLUS  I got something  from Stampin' Up! which I can't share details   just yet but  I'm so excited !  I will share more about all that when I can.

Plus I  have to make 40 swaps for Stampin'Up! On stage event  that's coming in just a few weeks  YIKES!  so much to do I  just wish I had an extra 12 hours in my day .

I did get only (1) video filmed for this upcoming week I will try and get another video  filmed in the next couple days .

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday friends ! 

Last night we had our stampers club  and we  did a shoe box swap . That's where everyone designs a card and  brings everything needed to make their card in a "shoe box"  It can be an actual shoe box but  for the most part  it can be anything  to hold  all the supplies . We always have so much fun at our club night . My ladies are the BEST! 

We missed you  Laura, Janet, Laurie, Liesa, Gina, Carol. We had 2 ( new to us) stampers join us last night. Linda and Tamara both stamp but  1st time joining us last night for the fun .

I just want to say stampers are amazing people NEVER once  have any of my ladies  ever made anyone  new to stamping or new to our club night feel  like they didn't belong . I swear  everyone seemed like  forever friends  ~ I am so blessed! All these ladies are like my family. 

This afternoon we are heading to the Home Improvement show in Novi . We are on the look out for someone  who does amazing work doing retaining walls ... if you know anyone local to us in Waterford, Michigan please let us know . 

Have a fabulous Sunday friends ! 

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday Friends! 

This past week I have been under the weather with a head cold or something yucky . I rarely get sick so I am not sure what's going on, I just wish it would go away .

I am thankful I got my videos made for this upcoming week .

Larry finished our Mural this past Monday so took a quick video of it. I  wanted to point out  just a couple things he did  that may get overlooked by those that see it . It's what makes it personal to us  and I love that .

Larry will be coming back to take his own video and photos of it.

We are still waiting on our bedroom furniture to arrive.  

We thought it would be sometime this week but we haven't got the call yet . We were told custom made furniture  takes up to 8 weeks ....tomorrow  will be 8 weeks  since we ordered it . We are still living out of 2 bedrooms LOL!  clothes  and personal things are upstairs  while we live in our bedroom.

Hi Stampers, 

Happy Sunday Friends ! 

We  believe tomorrow will be the last day on our mural with Larry .

We will know more tomorrow . I will take photo's and share them with you all next week .

Maybe I will see about making a video on it  showing you all the little things  about the mural ...We'll see. 

Thank you  everyone for your prayers  about my ring .  I was really hesitant to even say anything but I knew someone would be asking  once you notice it not  being on my finger in my  videos .  It's still hurts my heart  thinking about it ... BUT boy someone is probably  really happy now . Not sure if you all remember  me mentioning  since being on Humira  my swelling has gone down  so much in my hands  and well I am thinking now I should have  had my rings re sized...  Hubby  and I both think it was  when I may have taken off my gloves..I think I would have  noticed  or heard the ring  fall off but I  guess not.

PLEASE if your rings are  even the slightest bit lose, get them re sized .. learn  a lesson  through me .

 Thank you all for your  thoughts and Prayers  but I do believe the ring is gone  unless it  shows up in my car one day but, we seriously  looked everywhere in the house / card  / parking lot  . Once the snow melts we may hit the parking lot's  . but then again the  lots I am sure were plowed ~ Oh my goodness ~I need to change the subject.

We finally took our Christmas tree down  Friday evening  and now it looks so  empty in the corner LOL! 

I did order the last 2 paper organizers for my IKEA from Stamp n Storage HERE

 not quite filled up but I'm sure it will be in no time .

Dawn's Sunday Share 1-10-2016

Hi Stampers,

Happy Sunday  friends ! 

Well  with the 1st week officially into the new year  our bedroom is coming along nicely . Actually everything is done  and we are currently waiting for our new bedroom set to be delivered, I am hoping that will be within the next couple weeks .

Here are a few updates on the room .

New Carpet got installed this past Tuesday ( see photo above).

Closet and bedroom doors cut down so they shut now. With the new carpet and  3/4" padding that  made the doors really hard to shut, so that's done .

New Chandelier arrived on Wednesday. Hubby got that  put up and it's Gorgeous  (see photo above) . It's so beautiful with the lights on but I couldn't get a good photo of it with them on ( sorry). 

 We also had an old chest of drawers  upstairs that hubby cut down to fit inside our walk in closest. This will be  for all his work clothes . It seriously  looks  so much better with it cut down . Basically he made 4 drawers into 3 . He is so AMAZING! 

I feel like it's a brand new bedroom even without the new furniture. It's so beautiful and feels so peaceful .

We have been so wrapped up into our new bedroom that our  Christmas tree is still up LOL!  

• How many of you still have your Christmas tree up ?

I  think I will be taking it down this week ( hopefully).

This weekend I started  purging  all kinds of things in my stamp room . Nothing major just  things like  throwing out my  Paper Pumpkin boxes ( Really why was I keeping those orange boxes anyway ?? IDK) .

I am  organizing my Project Life  cabinet ( it's not organized in the way your probably thinking  just more  available  for me to get to ) which by the way I have started  working on a album  just about  stuff that happens on a daily basis.

So far It's all about  our new bedroom, I figure I will try and  do a page  for a certain day or week  honestly It's not anything planned out. I'm  just using the album as a  journal  but with photos ~ if that makes sense .

I have always thought of my blog as my personal  journal  but thought  the PL Album will be more of a tangible  way  to express the exciting things and yes maybe a few personal  things about me  that happen  over the  upcoming year .

• Recap of my 2015 year with all my Dawn Sunday Share blog posts  click HERE  

Today is my Mom's birthday ~ Happy Birthday Mom!  Tuesday is my birthday and Wednesday we are celebrating both of our birthdays. 

I thought I would share with you our next  big project at  our home . We  are painting our master bedroom .

 Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving we bought a new bedroom set and that should be delivered in a few weeks so in the mean time we started painting Christmas Eve and we ended up painting the walls in Tip Top Taupe  ( SU! Color )  and  hubby started  adding the crown molding on New Years Eve .

The bedroom project is centered around my husbands (4 ) day holiday weekends  for Christmas and New Years .  

Yesterday he started taking out all the carpet in our bedroom / closet and  the stairs going down to my stamping studio.

• OH my why it is so expensive to carpet stairs ? 

  We probably would have waited  to do the stairs at a later date but , Larry is painting our mural and we wanted him to  touch up below the carpet line . Tuesday the carpet is being installed .

So needless to say we have officially moved out of our master bedroom  and moved upstairs until our new carpet is laid &  furniture is delivered  (we are so excited. ) 

I have always thought having a chandelier in  our master bedroom was  gorgeous  so hubby ordered us a beautiful chandelier ...it has currently shipped and I hope we get that  this week .

This is the one he bought .

He got our's on E-Bay  for $89.00 ( AMAZING )  now we just hope it's not a night light LOL! 

I never knew there were so many .. It was hard to find  the perfect one with real glass  and not plastic but we found it Praise God! It's gorgeous . Can't wait to see it up in our  bedroom .  

I have been taking photos of  all the before and afters  so I will share all those with you  when everything is done. Yes there is a story behind our current bedroom  which looked pitiful before we started .

Here is a photo  of our  bedroom  set we  bought . It is seriously so gorgeous ! 

I must admit our master bedroom is  the last room we  have been wanting to re do  and the current bedroom set we have had  for close to 26 years . Our current bed  furniture has been moved  upstairs  this weekend .

We got it at Fenton Home Furnishings, Inc.  

The name of our bedroom set is Cordoba Antigou Blanco by Flex-steel.

This is where we also got our Flex-steel leather furniture for our living room a few years ago . 

Tomorrow Larry will be here  and I  see he has started adding the flowers last week OMG!

The flower/s  will be  the pop of color ( red) . Will share  that update  hopefully next week .

I got 3 brand new videos  for you  this week .

Thank you for your patience  over the holiday's , when my husband if off work I  really love spending time with him and  not focus on stamping.

 You all are so awesome.  Thank you  all for your kind words  over the  weekend  with the New Years Count Down blog candy . I think  the count down will be added as a annual event on my blog since I have gotten so many comments  that you all loved  bringing the new year in with me . ( THANK YOU! ) 

A couple updates !
