Middle of the week!!!!

Spent the day with Donna, Dee and Phyllis, stamping at Donna's.  Great cards, great company!!! Came home and worked a little on the Studio, had some people come look at Garage Sale items....thought I would post a few more cards and a Recipe!!!! 

These were some of the swaps from our get together a few weeks ago.

Happy Memorial Day

Hoping everyone had a Blessed Memorial Day....we don't give thanks to our Veterans, and those who keep us safe, and protect  ALL of our freedoms, enough.  Had a barbeque here yesterday with family...first Hamburger/hotdog grill of the season...yuumm!!!  Today we did our annual visit to Territory Days in Old Colorado City.  Walked around, and then had lunch at BonTons, which we do every year.  Came home and realized we were fried from the sun, and took naps...so all in all, a good holiday weekend!!!

This evening, I'm working on the last of the cubbies, and then I will be starting to put out Discontinued Product for my Pre-Garage Snail Sneak Peek.  Since I can't actually sell anything until June 1....and my Garage Sale is June 2, if you want to come and tag items to purchase, you can do that on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of this week.    Just contact me to be sure I am around when you come by.  We will pull your items, and I will put your name on them...and I don't have to lug them over to Paula's for the Garage Sale.  Lots of great buys, everything is at least half off of what it was new.  I know alot of you said you couldn't make the Garage Sale....but if you can, there will be 9 other Crafters there with tons of good stuff!!!

Cubbies are all clean and moved..WooHoo!!!! 

Garage Sale items....come and tag your items

And of course, some cards....These are swaps from our Stamping Day this month.

Kim made a very cute treat purse!!!

 Not sure who's these two are, but great cards!!! 

Moving Day.....

Whew!!!  Spent the better part of this afternoon, moving furniture around.  Got my workout today...but it's starting to look good!!!!  You never know for sure till it's all in place!!!!  Got the Armoire all cleaned out and moved, to it's not permanent location, but it needs to be moved so the rest can go where it needs to go.  Got shelving unit emptied, and moved to where the Armoire used to be.  Tomorrow will start work on the cubbies...they are the biggest mess, but they will go where the shelving unit used to be, to continue the wall of cubbies.  When I get them in place, will take pictures.  It sure is fun finding things you didn't know you had!!!!  Like Christmas!!!! 

Actually got some classes worked on, and finished up my Earrings to my Black and White set.

Just put them on my Etsy shop....if they don't sell, will have another Christmas present!!!

OK...real quick here, let's do some cards!!!  First one is the project card I brought to do at the Stamp get together last weekend. 

Was trying to use up some discontinued papers, but it came out really cute!!!!

This is a cute little favor, one of the Red Hat Ladies made for our places at Lunch this past month....There was chocolate in with the tea...but that didn't make it home!!! 

And lastly, from my mail bag...a thank you from Kim...very nice!!! 

Spent yesterday catching up from the weekend...today, I worked on upcoming classes and some more cleaning in my Studio....it is lookin' so good, and I am getting sooo...inspired.  Plus, I'm finding all kinds of things I forgot I had!!!!  Fun, fun, fun!!!!

Here's a few more pictures of graduation...

Yummy cake, Dale's sister Tulla made.

The happy Grad!!!

Sneak Peak and Studio Update!

Ooppss, hit return....and this thing published...before I wrote anything!!!!  Here's a sneak peak of the projects we are doing tomorrow night at our Stamper's 10.

I'm lovin' these projects!!!! 

Spent the whole day working on Cubbies...but they ones on the North side of my Studio are  ...  DONE!!!! I am so happy.  See me doing the Snoopy dance.

They look pretty empty....lots going out to the garage sale, rest is boxed up, I will be moving the cubbies at the foot of the stairs over to the left of these, and will be reorganizing.  Lookin' good....now onto the shelving unit next to this...which is really a mess!!!! 

Here's one more of the whole wall...when I get to the corner, I will be half done the room!!!! 

Preppin' for the Garage Sale

As you all know...one of my Stamp Groups, RMI, does a Craft/Stamp Garage Sale every year.  This year it is June 2.  In the past our new catalog hasn't been released until July 1, so we haven't been able to sell the newly discontinued items...but this year with the roll-out happening a month early...I have TONS of stuff.  Not to mention, I never got thru all the stuff I had from the previous year...so I really have alot.  Have been putting my tags on everything....so, June2, at 5245 Twinkle Way, Colorado Springs. (Old Farm area off of Austin Bluffs)
Contact me if you need more information!!! Come on out...I need to sell as much of this as possible to defer the cost of Convention this year...and I really don't want to store it.  What doesn't sell will be out at my Annual Open House which is the following weekend, June 9.

Feelin' good...got all the 8 1/2 x 11 paper either put away, sorted, stored or ready to sell...now to work on 12 x 12!!!!  Top of the cubbie area is clean...now to tackle the actual cubbies!!!!

Thought I'd post a few pictures from last months RMI swap:

Kimberly did this one....love those corduroy buttons....wish we still carried them!!!!'


This is Carol's wonderful creation!!!

Not sure who did this one...but love it!!!!
