Finally stamping again

It has been awhile but I have been stamping. I have made some birthday cards, a new house card and I am working on thank you cards for Bill.

Everyone that knows Bill knows he loves coffee. In fact he got coffee and coffee shop gift cards for birthday gifts. So I thought this cards would be perfect. It feels good to be creative again.

Bill's birthday album

I made a slideshow of the digital album I made for Bill. Hope you enjoy it.

Bill's birthday

Well, we had a surprise birthday party for Bill on Father's day. Bill and I had spent the whole week before in Kansas City for a class he was taking for work. I got to meet Sherry (hi sherry) and spent a few days with her and Tyler. Meanwhile, while I had time in the hotel, I worked on a digital scrapbook for him. He like it and really appreciated it.

Now I am getting Lexy ready to leave for college next month. She will be heading to Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, Pa. She is excited and this will be a new chapter in her life as well as ours. Both she and Joe are now driving (our car insurance went up by almost $2000/year). Now for Joe to find a job or go to school.

Warm weather

Finally the weather is warm. I wasn't sure if we were going to go right from winter to summer. I better get ready because the weather is supposed to be hot in Kansas City next week. I am excited, Bill and I leave June 7 and come back June 14th, no kids. I know he has to be in classes every day, but it will be nice to just be the two of us.

I haven't done much in the way of stamping for awhile, I am going to be making some baby announcements for Bill's cousin. I have been working on some digital albums and will try to make one while I am away of Bill to use at his surprise 40th birthday party.

I have benn working on an album for my sister for her birthday. This is my niece Mikayla. She is now 6 1/2 but these photos were taken when she was in a body cast. She spent many months in a cast to fix a hip joint that was formed wrong. She is fine now, all better, but those days were not fun.

November 20, 2007

Here we are getting close to Thanksgiving. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I still don't know what we are doing for dinner on Thursday. Yesterday Bill said he wasn't working and today it looks like he will be so we are going to play it by ear. I know Bill's mom really wants us to come like we do most years, but if Bill is working, I will make dinner so he can have some dinner before he has to leave.

I have to get going on Christmas plans. this time last year I was done shopping and here we are, Thanksgiving week and I only have a few gifts purchased. I need to make my lists so I can get it done. It will be a lot of online shopping again this year because I don't want to deal with the holiday traffic at the mall.

My weekend

It has been a pretty quiet weekend for us. bill started on night shift and will be working straight through till the middle of December. He should be finished sometime around the time Lexy will be coming home from Florida.
I spent part of Saturday woking on Christmas cards. I am making cards to sell at a craft show next weekend. I need to earn some money for my upcoming trip to Madagascar. I hope I do well with this craft fair. I have also made some stamped Welcome signs and will make some chocolate covered pretzels, cookies and some other home made goodies.
