New Blogger Friend

Today I spent the morning with my friend, Karen Angel, setting up a blog for her. I have always said that Karen is the "Michelangelo" of rubber stamping....she does absolutely beautiful work!! Her blog is aptly named "Karen's Angelic Impressions"...you will want to visit her site often for some "heavenly" inspiration.

Still haven't tried to figure out the picture downloading yet....but will work on that during the Christmas break!

Until then....Merry Christmas!!

New Computer.....Old Dork at the Keyboard

Just last week we installed a new computer....it works GREAT!!! Much better than our old laptop that seemed to do little else than make the user impatient and stir up anger.

Anyway.... This "Old Dork" has been intending to publish some posts, but has been unable to figure out how to get my pictures from my camera into the computer. At least with the laptop I knew how to download my pictures.....that part was a snap. I know it is probably something VERY easy, but I haven't figured it out and haven't had the time to play with it to figure it out....so SORRY!

I had made some cute gift tags and gift card holders.....if I can figure the picture downloading thing out, I will post them ASAP.

If I don't get to posting anything before Christmas....Have a BLESSED Christmas!!!

PS: My New Year's resolution will be to become a better blogger :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADISON!!!

Yesterday was my daughter's 11th birthday!! She's the BEST!!

This picture was taken Thanksgiving week up at Bass Lake on a day trip.

More Examples from Country Living Kit

Here are some more pictures from my Thanksgiving stamping time with my sister. Like the cards my sister made.....these used mostly the supplies from the Country Living Holiday Collection Kit. I did use snowflakes and greetings from"Winter Post", "Snow Swirled", and "Best Yet Level 1 Hostess Set". Again, it's not too late to order your Holiday Collection Kit!!

GREAT TIME WITH FAMILY!!

I had a great Thanksgiving weekend with my family! I pray that your Thanksgiving was equally grand.

We stayed the Thanksgiving weekend at my mother's and relaxed, ate, and STAMPED!!!! My sister from San Diego, Gwen, had NEVER stamped before and she made some FANTASTIC creations! The creative juices were really flowing...I'm still working at making her an addict!! Here is a picture of her and her creations.

You're beautiful Gwen!!!

By the way......we used the Country Living Holiday Collection Kit. The more you use of the kit the more the contents seem to multiply!!! If you haven't yet purchased your Kit, you have only until the end of December.....so go to my website and order your Kit TODAY!!!
