Good Evening! These are some cards that we made last month at Sandy Wellumsun's stamping party. They were a big hit, especially the little bee's. The gals loved them. I made up the extra packets I had cut and I have sold all of them. This afternoon, I was working on next month's stamp camp. I finished a couple of project's for it so I am happy about that. I went to Jessie's volley ball game tonight and that was fun to see. She had asked me on Sunday if I was coming and I told her that I would try to. Can't let my girl down and I was glad to be able to spend that hour there tonight. When my girls were in high school, I had some rough years health wise and my back was really bad. When I bought my ticket tonight for the game, I asked if I could bring a chair in because I couldn't sit on the bleachers and the gal said sure, that she wouldn't say anything about it. (It might have helped that I knew her.) As I was sitting there on my chair, before the game started....I was thinking about how far along I had come in accepting my illness and not worrying about what other's thought. I missed so many of the girls events because I was in such terrible pain and was too proud to ask if I could bring a chair in the gym or I was in too much pain to sit, period. I didn't want to embarrass them or myself by "doing such a thing". I was only 34 at the time, way too young to be disabled, and way too young to accept it. It was a hard process, and I am sure glad that I am at a point in my life that I don't care what people think! Make the most of your days....you never know what life has in store for you! Hugs! Boo
Here is some pictures of a project I finished this morning. My neighbor asked me to make a gift jar for her. She is going to give this for a birthday gift. The girl that will be receiving this gift loves lime green so I added as much of that color to the project as I could with out it being to over whelming. Debi was very happy with the jar. She filled it with candy wrapped in the pastel Easter color's and it looks so pretty. I shot a closer picture of the top of the jar so you could see it better and also a picture of the tag. I glitter painted the flowers with an old blender pen, and used stickles on the bee's wings. The butterfly is made with SU's Butterfly die, and I used the stamp set Just Buzzin By. It worked perfect with this honey jar. If you empty out any honey jars and are not going to use them for anything would you save them for me!?!? This is a perfect project for them. After Debi left, Susie stopped over for a couple of hours and we worked on some idea's for her mother's upcoming 90th birthday party. She is going to make the cutest little carrot favor's. They are adorable. She also brought along some really cute cards that she made. We had a fun visit. I think I am going to go take a nap right now as I am tired out from yesterday. Have a stampin' good day! Elaine
