Chocolate Tin#2


Hi! Yesterday I got 9 gift card holder's done and 9 sympathy cards. I had all the coloring done. It sure goes a lot faster when things are prepped in advance! Susie was over today and showed me the new Halloween stamps she got with her Archiver's gift certificate that she received for her birthday. What a fun place to have a gift certificate from! She had a blast with her daughter-in-law picking out stuff.

We spent the rest of the day working on the computer. She brought over her lap top and I showed her how to do a bunch of things to do on it. Later in the day....Diane and Beth bombed in for a visit. So my house was full of company, as usual with lots of laughter, just how I like it!

This is another tin I made with 3 x 3 note cards in it and my "Chocolate" stamps. It is hard to see in the picture but there are chocolate chips stamped on the back of the envelope. Make it a great day!

Embrace Life/ On Your Birthday

Greetings from Mayberry! I am in my stamping cave working on gift card holder's for Hill of Beans Coffee in the Dells. I plan on stopping in there on Thursday to put more items in before we head out for wedding dress shopping in Madison. If I have time, I will shoot some pictures of the shop for you to see. I just had a salad with tomato's from my tomato plant. Boy are they yummy! Thanks Sarah and Zach!

Think Happy Thoughts


It was another busy day in Mayberry yesterday. I spent most of the morning on the computer catching up on email and learning how to do some new things on here. I really love learning how to do more on the computer. I made 6 "old ladies" cards yesterday that turned out real cute and you will get to see them in the future. I usually wait and photograph a whole bunch of things at one time and I keep a file on the computer all ready for using on my posts. I ran some errands in town and then it was off to Lady Di's so I could help fill her "Chicken" craving. She sure does like her chicken and I think one of these day's she is going to be sprouting wings! We headed up to Cat's Down the Road which has great baked and fried chicken on Monday nights. If you haven't been there....it is definitely worth trying. You will love it! I just had to stop typing for a minute as one of my "children" was up to no good. I heard Taffy bring something out from under the couch and she was tossing it so I had to go look to see what she had and she had one of my rubber stamps! So I scarfed that up from her and will have to get that put back in the right set. I suppose she scarfed it, and hid it while I had that stamp set out on my desk. Such a little dickens! Any whoo.....we ran into Melissa, AJ, and Isabelle before we left Cats and then we headed to the Rapids to Walmart. I did my grocery shopping for the month (or two). Running to the store for a couple of things is not my idea of fun so I usually do it all at once and when I finally run out of a lot of stuff and I get sick of trying to come up with something to eat...then I finally go....tee hee!
