Stampin' Event!

Today I went to an event and my swap card won 1st prize!!! Wow was I shocked! It felt really good. What a boost to my self-esteem! I needed it! I feel ready to start up with business again!

Anyway,.... here is the card I made:


The flower is made with Stampin' Up!'s circle scallop punch.. and then you smash the paper around to loosen the fibers and then tear them apart and then I slit the scallops all the way around.

It is very easy!!!! Anyone can do it!!! Try it out!

Have fun stamping!

Contacts!!!!

So last night I had to go to a really sort of DUMB going away party for a friend. No one planned anything.. so we just sat and talked and stared at each other and THEN we HAD to play a few stupid games!!!??? Why? It was horrible EXCEPT.. I think I have a new contact person for my stampin' up business!!!!! :) She is a partylite demo... and I gave her my Stampin' Up card. She was excited to give me a call! YEAH!

I think I can rebuild my business again! I think it will be slow, but who knows! :)

My BABY is getting so OLD!!!

My oldest is turning 9 tomorrow! :( I am so upset! HE is getting so old... which in turn.. means I am getting old! LOL

He is such a great boy! What a blessing he has been in my life! From the moment I met him I was in love!

Here is a birthday post dedicated to him! :) a few pics :) Well, like a lot of pics :)

Enjoy!




Happy Birthday Kiko!!!!! :)

Back to work

Boy do I wish I was still on vacation! I did not want to wake up today and go to work! UGGGGGGG!!!!!! Not to mention... Nicco woke me up at 2:30am screaming for me because he was sick... and had a high fever! He still has a little one today, but I gave him some meds, and made him take a cool bath. I think that he is starting to cool down a little. Work was... well, hard! I am so over working for a living! LOL

Here are some pics of our vacation to Convention! :)


we were just starting our trip and pretty happy! (for now!)

They got to hang with their cousins!!!!

This is the view from the place we stayed for the first week! They had so much fun swimming and playing and being CRAZY~!

That is all for tonight! more card pics tomorrow.

First Post

Here it is!!! Here is my first blog post!!!

Just got back from Stampin' Up! Convention!!!!! WOW it was awesome! I loved every minute of it... EXCEPT!!!!!! it was so hot I felt like my skin was melting off of my face and body! :( LOL ..

The boys decided to come with me... and we drove.. it was miserable! 14 hours in the car each way. Thankfully my parents live almost half way in-between... so we were able to stop and crash there and they fed us! MMMMMMMMMMMMMM gotta love that!

My swap card was very simple and easy to make.. I love simple cards.. Everything I used to make this card was from Stampin' Up! Feel Free to use this idea or change it!




















I am going to post some of my daily life.. but also some card ideas and swaps! Hope you like them! feel free to comment!
