CORNER BOOKMARK (AGAIN!)

My husband's aunt has been visiting this month and she wanted to give a bookmark as a gift to one of her nieces (who is approximately my age) for a birthday present.  

I gladly told her that I would be happy to make her one.....so, here is what I came up with

It's almost too pretty to stick in a book :-)

I have been working on a BIG project for our women's holiday tea at our church that I will show you shortly.  I now have them all done....all 296 of them!

Until next time, find some time for stamping!

A NEW BABY & AN UPDATE

I thought I had better give you an update on my mom....she is doing GREAT!!   She had a pacemaker put in and came through with flying colors.  She still has to take it easy for another month, but after that she should be able to resume all her prior activities.  My mom is very active and social.....she goes to a dance club each week, is a member of the local garden club, has a group of girlfriends and they call themselves "The Birthday Girls", is a docent at their local historical society, and a bunch of other stuff.  She tons of fun!

Well, our sweet Jesse has been gone about a month now.....and life just isn't the same without a dog.  So yesterday, we went and picked up our new baby.  

We named her Gus (I call her "Miss Gussy").  

It's a long story, but for those of you who ever watch the show "Psych" on tv, we named her after Gus on that show.  I know he's a guy, but Gus (on the show) is sweet and he's black.....and so is our Gus.  Her face reminds me of Jesse's.....so incredibly sweet.

She is 7 weeks old....(totally not use to a puppy.  Jesse was slow and steady.......not so much with Gus).   She is a black lab/German Shorthair mix...her mom is a purebred German Shorthair that, unfortunately, jumped the fence and made friends with a lab.  So she looks like a lab with a longer snout and has the short hair of a German Shorthair.  And to top it off....can you believe she was free?!

To say the least....we haven't gotten much done since yesterday after picking her up.  Who can resist the sweet smell of puppy..... so we play with her and then we let her nap.  Do you think she'll grow into those paws?  :-)

 We are loving the new addition to our family.....I think she will fit right in!

Until next time, find some time for stamping.

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY MOM

Sorry I haven't posted a stamping project in awhile.....I even have a couple to show you....but my mother has been giving us quite a scare. 

 Please pray for her....yesterday she had a pacemaker put in.  She is doing great now and is coming home from the hospital today.   I am going up this afternoon to see her and probably spend the night.  

Until next time, give your mom a hug!

Blessings, Cindy

BIEBER FEVER

As an early birthday gift we bought Madison two tickets to Justin Bieber who was in concert here last night.  She chose to take her cousin, Natalie, with her.  

Natalie came over early and brought stuff for them to make shirts. 
I think they turned out pretty cute!

  Here's the back....they have their names and the date of the concert...

 

Here is the "Biebs" doing what he does best......

They had a great time, but their ears were ringing from all the screaming :-)

Until next time, find some time for stamping!

Blessings & Hugs, Cindy

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I am SO READY for some cool weather here in California.....it's October and we're still having 100 degree temperatures!  Weatherman promises that we're suppose to be cooling down in the next few days.  Then again.....it'll cool down and I'll whine about it being too cold :-) 

Today's card is one that we will be making on Monday at Stamp club. 

I used the French Foliage set....such a beautiful set!!

This card was inspired by a card that I saw on Stamping Connection.....it is a demonstrator only website where there are thousands of examples for endless inspiration.

That's it for today.....thanks for stopping by!

Until next time, find some time for stamping!

Blessings & Hugs, Cindy
