Fun with Friends

Oh My! The days are flying by! I am busy but happy. Here's a couple of pictures of what I've been up to. Here is my friend Linda and I posing in front of the hubby's pick up truck. We did a double date to the Keith Urban concert last week. I 'm wearing the cowboy hat I got from managers reception last year but I ended up not wearing it at the concert because I scoped out the crowd as we were driving by the ACC and not EVERYONE was wearing a cowboy hat so I decided to opt out. I knew I would be hot and sweaty from all the people and dancing that I figured I wouldn't wear it.

I know I mentioned before about the fun we had at our team S.T.I.C meeting but I'm still happy from it and just wanted to share some of the cards I got from our team swap.

This one is from Grace. Is it not awesome??!! The extra work she put into cutting out the images makes it stand out for sure!

I am happily using the spice cake designer series paper and fabric and gently falling stamp set all the time. It's so perfect for the season. I guess other team members felt the same because in our team swap we got about 3 cards using these elements. Here's one. Sadly I can't remember who on the team made it but it's gorgeous!

The sentiment is from the day of gratitude set.
Sorry I'm not posting as often as I would like but don't hesitate to contact me anytime.

Another Scrapbooking page

Recognize the pictures? Yes, they're from Stampin' Up! regional conference in Hamilton. I just scrapbooked the pictures and I love this page because I was able to incorporate the scrapbook page make n take from the conference (see the old olive 8 1/2X11 page). I just pasted it onto my 12X12 page. I then added the swirly cut out from the big shot. This makes such a lovely border. A must have die for any scrapbooker!

Happy Thanksgiving

So many things to be thankful for. I love the sentiment on the Day of Gratitude Stamp set: Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgivings.

So true. For me, my mental attitude can determine whether I am joyful and thankful or cranky and grumpy. So far, my thanksgiving weekend has been...well...something to be thankful for!

Friday was a day of celebration. Two of our pastors at Cornerstone Church went through an ordination process and their ordination ceremony was on Friday. There was of course an after party (roast) that was so hilarious I spent much of it laughing. By the end of the evening, I was laughing so hard, tears were rolling down my cheeks. I'm hoping somebody will post some video footage of the evening on you tube so I can show you. The antics of our now "reverend" ministers Kevin and Jeremy were just too funny for words.

Here's hubby and I with the now Reverend Kevin White.

I spent Thursday at Lil Explorers stamping. It was wonderfully quiet and refreshing. I think the idea of my stamping there was to meet new people and introduce them to my business however not a single person showed up. I didn't even mind as I had my ipod on and was making these treat bags for each person for Thanksgiving dinner. Aren't they cute? I put a cellophane bag inside with chocolate pretzels.
