WooHoo...it's Friday!!!

Hey all....it's Friday!!! I do have a fairly busy weekend...but it's mostly Stamping related. Tomorrow is my Stampin' Free For All...Stop on by and work on some projects...I will have some drawings for some discontinued product, and a cute Make n Take which I just finished up!!!

Sunday is my Cards for the Troops....This will be a Quarterly Event that I do...so I will be collecting cards, card fronts, partial cards, and supplies anytime. I prefer standard sized cards...if you do off sizes, please supply the envelopes to go with them...otherwise the envelopes are covered...Also ...no Glitter...Night Vision can pick up the glitter if it gets on their uniforms. Drop on by Sunday from 1-3 and we will work on prettying them up...I hope to get them off to Operation Write Home next week. These cards are made available to the troops to send home to their loved ones since they can't get things like that there. They are greatly appreciated!!!

Thought I'd share another Mailbox find!!!

This was a card from my friend Karen....Love it!!!

And here are a few more Convention Swaps....

I love the colors on this one!!!

And the new Owl Punch is just Too Stinkin' Cute!!!!
Well, I'm off to clean up my messy studio for tomorrow...there are still remnants from last weeks Rag Quilt Purse, so need to get that cleaned up!!! Hope to see you here this weekend!!!

A Much Needed Day Off!!!!

With Stampin' Up! and work...and don't get me wrong....I love both of my jobs!!!! I know I'm very fortunate in that aspect...but I really needed a day off.....I was very lazy this morning and slept in till 7:00...and then slowly picked up the house, did laundry, and a few houshold things....and then got down to some serious Zucchini Bread Baking....Along with freezing some Zucchini.....That was this morning, and so now I'm down in my Studio, playing around with my Blog, and will get to some stamping!!! This evening, Rocky Mountain Inkslingers is having their yearly Anniversary Dinner....at Bambino's Restaurant...they have a yummy buffet....so that will be fun!!!! Thought I'd post a few more things from the pile on my desk!!!! The first is from my Mailbox....
