I finally got all my Christmas cards made and are mailed out yippee. I still have one name frame left to do, hopefully I get to it tonight. I've been enjoying the Christmas movies that have been on. I love those sappy feel good Christmas movies. Anyways I want to wish you and your families a very merry and safe Christmas. Don't know if I'll gt to blog unil atr Christmas. Enjoy!
Till nxt time.

Another card that we created during the Christmas in July Workshop

Gotta love this snowman. I love snowmen, hate Winter but love snowmen and peguins. Gotta get myself a penguin stamp set.

The colors I used here was sage shadow,rose red and what I had left of bravo burgandy.

Purple Snowflak

Here Is another card I made. This will be one of my Chritmas cards that I will be sending out. I cased this from Stamping Success but used slightly diferent purples. In the scan it looks more like a blue though.Don't ya think? Maybe just to me .

Make Merry Merry

Make Merry

Here is a quick and simple card that we made during one of the technique classes using the Holiday Thyme designer paper from SU.

I can't believe we are this close to Christmas already. I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping and our tree is up and boxes of decorations are cluttering my living room, waiting to be attached to our tree. I can't wait until this week is over. We are finishing up finals and then I can get to bussiness and stamping. I litterally can't wait. In the mean time I will upload some of my other Christmas cards only if this works. I hope it does.

Don't You Just Hate....?

Don't you just hate when you study for somting and you know you know it but when it comes to taking that test you mess up. I studied all weekend for a test I had to take on the nervous system today. I knew all the cranial nerves in order and when it came to the test the teacher missed 2 so I figured she wouldn't put it in order so I ended up messing the entire question up. It was in order and I knew them, that's what I get for looking too much into some questions, so I'm sure my grade won't be great. I'll be kicking myself for the rest of the week. On the other han we are almost done, wo more weeks hurray !
I still have yet to start my Christmas shopping, I'm so behind. I don't get out of school unil the 19 so it is hard to concentrate on Chistmas when all these finals are going to come up. I still have Christmas cards to make and name frames. The tree and decorations probably won't get up until after the 19th. I'm still waiting for a list from each of my boys for ideas. They won't get everything on that list but at least it gives me an idea of what to get them. They are more dificult to buy for now, they are 13 and 15. I'm open to suggestions, anyone? Any ways I'm venting thanks, somtimes I need that. Til next time. Have a good night

Thanksgiving Eve

Well here it is Thankgiving Eve. I can't believe how quickly the holidays have snuck up on us. I have to start my Christmas shopping soon. I usually have it done by now but this year I'm a little behind. I will be making some of them like for friends and families and a Yankee Swap we'll be going to, but as far as my boys they won't appreciate a hand stamped item not at the ages of 15 and 13. I haven't got a clue what to get them this time around. It's so much harder as they get older. Well it's late. Until next time

Here is on card i've done

Well here is at least one card that I said I would be uploading. I have a few more but it doesn't want to let me upload any others. My icon didn't do anything, you know the insert photo or image one. It let me do the first one but not the others, I guess I'm over my limit. lol I'll try again later. I wander i it's because I switched to Beta, which I was kin of skeptical about when it came to switching over.

A w cards I stamped finally

A productive Weekend

Well this weekend was a very productive weekend, I finally got to stamp. I made 7 Christmas cards. It was so nice. My husband went to visit his daughter in sommerville and my boys were at their dad's for the weekend. I had the house to myself. I put on Celine Dion's Christmas cd and went to work. I thouroughly enjoyed this. I have 11 cards made now, still need to do a lot more and definitely need to get to my name frames and gifts for Christmas. I need to upload some art work my pages are looking boring without other colors. I have plenty from this weekend to upload but I hate uploading and scanning it just takes so long. Wish there was an easier way to do this or wish I was better at this. I will soon be adding some of my work.

What's up with the new features with blogger ? I'd like to update it but I don't have a Google account and I don't want to lose my blog if I have to create a Google account. If I create a Google account will my blog be lost? Here we go again just when I learn how, it changes and it takes me awhile to figure out how to do things. I still haven't even figured out how to do links in my side bar, I would like to have links, maybe someday I'll figure it out until I do my blog will be without links. I've read the directions and can't get it to happen. Well gota go. Have a good night. Til next time.

Whoo hoo !

No school tomorrow, and no test to study for, I just might get a chance to stamp tonight. Only about four more weeks and the semester will over. My life will resume some sort of normalness after all the craziness I had this month. I never thought that it would be this hard.

I think I will start a few Christmas cards tonight because Christmas is coming fast. Just think Thanksgiving is only like two in a half weeks away. So whats everyone's plans for the upcoming holiday? We are going to be at my sister-in-laws. My husband has a good size family so there should be plenty of people. I kind of miss cooking myself because I like to have left overs, when we go to other people's houses we never get to take any leftovers, so I think I'll cook up a small turkey with all the trimmings so we are able to have leftovers for turkey sandwiches and such.

Also in November I will be having a technique class. Usually the last Sun of each month. Not sure I will do one in Dec. yet because everyone gets so busy. I would like to do something in Dec, but don't know what. If any ideas send me a comment. I would love some suggestions for a holiday stamp something or other.Gonna go my son needs the computer and I need to take advantage of this time for stamping. I hope the inspiration isn't lost because it's been so long since I've been able to stamp for myself. Til next time.

Whoo hoo

Whoo hoo! I finally got to stamp. O.k I had to stamp, but after mid terms and all the studying I had been doing, I decided to take one night off from studying, but actually I had to prepare for a technique class I am having this Sunday. I made one card two techniques but one card. It's a start. Now I'm waiting for my cookies to be done. It will be back to studying for the rest of the weekend I have a test on Tuesday. I also need to send out a few birthday cards. Well wish me luck, gotta go, til next time.

I Can't Wait to Stamp Again

Boy ! It's been along time. I am so having stamping withdrawals. I can't wait til the semster is over. It's almost here, then I will be stamping again. At least through the month of Jan. I need to get my Christmas cards started. I have a couple but I need to bang out a lot more. Last year I had them done by now. I also need to make at least three more name plaques for Christmas presents. So much to do. Sunday I have a stamping technique class which I won't probably start preparing for until Sat after work. If interested check out my website at http://4everstampingpam.stampinup.net for times and place and more info on this class.School has just kept me so busy, now we're in mi terms and alls I do is study. It never ends. I study for at least 6-8 hrs a day for tests and then we have been getting two tests on the same day. What are th professors thinking. The stress is really getting to me. Last week I did a lot of crying. what a baby huh? It's just so much. Any ways I just figured I'd update what's been up here and will be stamping an bing much happier soon. Thanks for listening. Til nxt time.

I Can't Believe

I can't believe it is the end of September already. Boy! time as flown. Fall is here and we will be changing our clocks at the end of October. You can see the Fall coming in. The leaves are turning colors already. I think the folliage will be early this year. I hope it lasts for awhile. The trees are so beautiful at this time, but sometimes when the folliage comes early, it doesn't last as long.

Remember that String technique card that I was doing? Well here it is I finally uploaded it. For some reason it takes a couple of times before it actually loads. Any one else have that problem? Probably not it's just me and my not being computer savy.Anyways I like the way the background looks on this one, my first try one was kind of splotched ( I don't even know if thats a real word) but I like it.

I used three pieces of string and three coordinating re-inker colors of Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant,and Only Orange. I put some re-iker into 3 different containers and dipped each piece of string using gloves on my hands so they would 'nt get messy, placed my white cs in between a sheet of scrap paper placed the string on my cardstock, held down the scrap paper with my cs and string in between, Pulled the string out from between the scrap paper, letting the string drag on it's way out. It came out looking kinda like a spin art. Some of the other ladies got like a flower design. It's neat how each one came out with a different look for their background. The cs I used for this card was Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore, and black of coarse.

Well it's been great to blog but I need to get some heavy duty studying in because I have 4 Tests/quizes next week Yuk! wish me luck. Til next time. Have a nice week.

Stamping Time

Good morning,

I just have a few minutes to blog and then I'm off. Yesterday I had a technique class. We all had a great time, though it was small it was nice. We did a Halloween card, using a string technique and we did the Faux Linen technique with the stamp set wild rose. Everyone was happy, next on the agenda will be my Stamp-A-Stack in October of Christmas cards. That will take a lot of time to prepare for. Check my website at http://4evrestampingpam.stampinup.net for more details. A little latr I will upload the Halloween card it takes me a long time to upload so I will do it when I have more time. I'm off, til next time , Have a great day.

Mid week

It's been awhile again. I had a wonderful weekend. It was nice to o something different for a change. Sat my hubby and I went out to the movies with friends. We went to see Hollywood Land. It was pretty good of coarse it left you wondering at the end considering that the mystery was never solved, then we went to dinner. Sunday I got to see Cirdue Du Solie corteo version in Suffolk Down. This show is fabulous. I have never seen anything like it. It's hard to describe also. It was acrobatics, gymnastics, ballet, singing and lots of ariel acts. It was just so good . We went with a bunch of people. It was nice to kick up my heels and enjoy with no stress attached.

It's been so hectic. I'm in school full time and the work just never ends. I read do homework and study at last 3-4 hours a day most of the time more. I still have to work an I have kids who still need me. It's just so hard.

I finally got to stamp. I made a Hallowen card but only one because I had to leave to pick up my son at school. I really want to stamp a little more. I need to because I have classs to get set up for, I just have no time. I may have to cut back on my SU business, I really hate to because I don't have a huge following. I wish it was going better then I would only have to rely on that rather than woking outsid besides going to school. Anyways I better go. Leave comments or suggestions it would be nice to know if others are reading and experienceing some of the same things.Until next time.

A Long Week

Hi it's been a little while. Nothing exciting to report. It's been a whole week that I've been in my classes at QCC. I'm so overwhelmed and swamped with reading and homework that I am having stamping withdrawals. I just can't get the time right now. Had my first quiz and did poorly. I just figured I'd blog in hopes that I would feel better.

I have a technique class coming up on Sept 24, so I shoul have some stamping things that we worked on. For more info on my Technique class check my Stampin' Up! web sight at http://4everstampingpam.stampinup.net. That will have the time and the place.We will be oing faux linen, a technique with string an hopfully a Halloween card.

My counter ended up at he top of my page lol

I'm still learning. I wanted to put a counter on my page and finally figured it out but look where it ended up. lol Goes to show I still have a lot to learn. It did end up in the right spot also. I guess I'll just wait til it gets to the end of the page. I'm afraid to remove the one on my main page in fear that it will all disappear completely. Any help or comments would be greatful. Thanks

Made It Through

Hi Everyone,

Well I made it through my first 2 days of school. Yesterday was my first day. I was sooo nervous. It turnd out to be sort of fun. Today was my first class,not as fun. It was so overwhelming. The pofessors just kind of threw papers and power points at us. I don't even know what books go with what class yet. People told me that Hygiene school was tough, well they were right. Next week will be a full week of classes, Hopefully it gets less confusing, I'm really going to have to be organized, not one of my strong points. Tomorrow is my first preclinic lab in radiology. Should be interesting.

Now I'm going to try and upload a photo into my profile. Won't gaurentee it will work. I'm feeling a little bit more comfortable about uploading. Still need to work on getting those links into the side bar though. Also I would like to get a web counter on this, got to figure out where to get those on the web. I would like a free one obviously.
Well til next time.

2 Wild Roses

This was made while playing around with one of my new stamp sets. I made this because my step daughter is pregnant and has been really sick and I wanted to send this out to let her know I was thinking of her and hope that she would feel better real soon. I liked the way it came out so I'm using this for my Technique class using Faux Linen on the roses.

e Long Weekend

Well the long weekend went by. It was a pretty good one kind of quiet. Yesterday my step daughter and her boyfriend came down and wanted to take us out for dinner her father, my husband for his birthday which isn't til the end of the month but they don't know when they'll be back this way again. It was a nice time.

Today I'll be running around trying to get immunization records because I start school tomorrow full time. I'm such a nervous wreck. I've been going to school for about 5 years one coarse a semester now I finally got into the program and it will be two years full time. I still gotta get my books which I will do this week . I'm just sooo nervous.

Didn't get any stamping done over the long weekend. I'm hoping to do some later. I need to prepare for a Technique Class I'm having soon and I need to prepare for my Stamp-A-Stack of Chritmas cards that I'll be doing. Until next time.

Well here it is Sept. 1, unbelivable how time flies. The kids are back in school. There were some really glum faces on the first day of school. But both the boys seem to like their teachers so far, especially the 13 year old. Lets see how long that lasts. The nights are getting shorter. I hate watching the nights get shorter, I am a summer gal although I love the early Fall, ya know before it gets too cold. I am a whimp when it comes to cold weather. I know I'm in th wrong state.

Any ways I'll be working on this blog thing , still working on it. I am learning. I've tried to add links but can't seem to get the hang of it. But hey I couldn't upload pictures a week ago and now look at my page, I have pictures, thats exciting. I hope this post goes up, I lost on describing the card that I uploaed tonight. Anyway that card below was a card we did at the technique class. It was the Kissing Technique.

This is still a fairly new experience,"blogging" I enjoy reading the others you guys are just so much further along and you seem to know what your really doing, unlike myself. Til the next time. Enjoy.

The fall card is the Kissing Technique that we learned with my group on Sunday. Pretty simple card

This is a name frame that I made for a Christmas present for the boys' father and his wife.

Hurray I uploaded another picture. Maybe I'm getting the hang of this after all.

Hi,

Well another weekend gone by and school is about to begin. Where did the summer go? It's been a pretty busy weekend. I workd ,one of my son's had a Birthday party he had to be at and of coarse he was late because I was late getting out of work.

I had a stamping technnique class yesterday. A good time was had by all. we used glitter which was very messy and a pockt card. They all liked that. Then we did an easy fall card. Hopefully at some point I will upload them. I'm having a hard time with the uploading part. I uploaded one and it worked but then I tried to upload a couple of more and couldn't do it. I know I'm missing a step because my screen doesn't come back to the part that has all the info on it. Oh well I'll have to keep trying that last upload happned by mistake I guess.

The fish card is one of the cards we made at my last class. it included dry embossing

Hi,

It's me again. I figured out how to fix my blog description, so it looks better and makes more sense. I had the wrong info under my title. I'm still learnig basically by trial and error . It's going to be a long work in progress, now if only I can figure out where my photo ended up because it's not on my blog also how to add some links under links. Back to more reading and trial and error. I sure hope this ends up where it's suppose to.

hi,

Can you tell that I have no idea of what I'm doing. I tried to do my first post and it ended up in the title area. I wanted it to be in the blank spot where this is now. I have no idea how to get it off from under my title. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
