Pinks and Greens

Here is the picture that I said I would upload of all of the wonderful stuff I received from my friend Debbie. We agreed to swap 5 x 7 books that were created using 3 different papers from 3 different companies. Debbie covered an address book with yummy pink papers and put Bazzill green cardstock on the inside. She also sent scallop circles, little flowers, gobs o' ribbon and a ribbon pack from Making Memories. But best of all was some little crocheted flowers that Debbie's grandma made. Debbie suggested using them with some giant brads in the middle. I think I just hang on to them for awhile. Last, but not least in the bag was PINK M & M's. No, they didn't arrive open (like in the picture) I just couldn't wait to eat a few. Yum!

Tomorrow, I will start uploading the cards from the Shoebox swap. We will be Shoeboxing again after the first of the year. The theme will be "Love, Hearts, or Valentines." Are you thinking that far ahead? If so, let me know what your looking at. I'm thinkin' I want to use the Boho Blossoms set from Kim at MFT.

Today I taught my calendar class at the store and will teach it again on the 15th. I will upload pics after the 15th.

Something's commin'.....

really, I promise. I received a wonderful package from my friend Debbie the other day and have taken pictures, but can't fine my cord to upload to the computer. Everything Debbie sent was all pretty with pinks and greens. When my DS gets home from school, I will have him look for it.

I also made some cards today with a few of the members of our Shoebox Swap group. The theme was "holiday" and everyone did either Thanksgiving or Christmas. I will get them all photograped and uploaded (providing I/we find the cord) throughout the next week.

I have been super busy between working at the stamp store and working swing shift at our local department store. My last full day off was last Friday and my next full days off are next Wednesday and Thursday (woo hoo.....two days in a row).

DH left this morning to go on his "man" trip. The guys are going to Cancun to go fishing. He promises to take me next year. (wink, wink)

Well, I must go and put my face on and finish getting ready for work.

ETA: Another great use for one of my favorite stamping adhesives (red-lined tape) is to use a piece to hold the little gap closed in the front of a button up blouse. Try it, it really works! :)
