Sshhh.... It's a secret. :-)

I thought my Samantha could use a little morning cheer, so I left one of these on her doorstep this morning. :-) I hope she likes!!!

I love BLOG CANDY!!!

Oh wow!! I got the greatest little treat in the mail yesterday! I received my blog candy from my new BFF Denise! So... to say thanks, I decided to make a little card with the one of the stamped images she sent me. :-) What do ya think?? It took me a while, but I think it came out ok.

Thank you Denise! I love all the stuff you sent!!!

Card Swap

We had a card swap on Sunday afternoon, and I always love these little moments with friends!! Anyway, here is a pick of the cards we made. :-)

Thanks for looking... Tina

Adorable!

One of my best friends Samantha surprised me the other day with this little gift! Isn't it adorable?? I love it! It's such a token of the sweet person that she is!

What a week!!!

Well this week has been crazy. I wasn't home for more than about 5 minutes all weekend last weekend, and this week hasn't been much better! So of course... I got sick again. :-( I haven't posted anything creative this week, because I haven't done anything. Well... except for the 8 fantastic hours I spent last Saturday scrapping with my good friends Samantha and Sharon! That was fantastic!!

I love my UPS man!!

Oh how I love when I get home from work, and Brian (my UPS man) has been by for a visit!! You have to understand, I order a lot of stuff online, so Brian and I are on a first name basis. LOL!

Since I had been waiting to order a set from the new Occassions Mini, I hadn't gotten all my free Sale A Bration stuff yet! So... last night was a fun night!!!

I applied some rub-ons to these votive holders for a craft fair Samantha and I are doing next weekend... Then I made the candy bags. I didn't like the way the candy bags turned out at all! Any suggestions?? So having become a little frustrated with my lack of creative abilities last night, I decided I should make a card! Well... I actually made several and they were awful! This was the best of the bunch. :-) And by the way... how great is it that all the SAB sets and the sets from the new Occassions Mini were already cut out for us?? Wow! That was a bright spot in my unimaginative evening! I hope they continue with that! Anyway, I hope every one has a great weekend!

Thanks for looking! Tina

Time Spent with Great Friends!!

Good morning... Well another evening, another opportunity to create a cute card! I had a great dinner with some wonderful friends, and I left there really appreciating the wonderful people in my life! I have so many great people around me and I love them all!! I am so blessed, and last night I was really feeling the love! So... when I decided to sit down and make a card, I naturally went right to the Time Well Spent set. It's the first time I've used it, so I had to put it together first, but I love the card.

Thanks for looking! Tina

So Many Scallops

Good morning!! I made myself a little pact a week or so ago, and so far, I am doing good. I promised myself to exercise more and to stamp more! Well... I took a pretty bad fall this weekend, so I have a great excuse to not exercise. :-) Which, means I have even more time to stamp!! I'm not sure why the colors are not showing up well in this pick, but the card is actually Green Galore.

TFL! Tina
