Happy December!

Hi there!  Gosh, we are nearly a week through December already!

Well, you know the routine! For a few more weeks, I will be finding cards that haven't been posted, and sharing them with you. Hopefully, when we get home, I can start getting into some challenges and things for fun! Ya'll will help me get back into the groove, right?

Here are some that haven't been seen yet, except by recipients, perhaps!

These are ALL Unity stamps. They had a big sale a while back, and I couldn't resist. Some of these are so stinkin' funny, and others are just beautiful. Anyway, they've been sitting in a box, waiting to 

be posted!

Hee hee, I can't drink, but I know some friends that do! They will smile at this one!

I made 4 cards with this gorgeous set. I'll use it often!

Hee hee...another funny one! My jeans have definitely said this over the years!

So true, still a mess, will ALWAYS be a mess!!!

Have a blessed day, dear friends!

Thanks for dropping by!

Glad THAT is over!!!

Yep, talking about the election.

Some of us are jumping up and down, ecstatic with the results.

Others of us are feeling pretty low and sad at the results.

Thank goodness, we have 4 years before another one!

I guess by now, you've realized that from October to January, will be just catch up, lost and found, etc., for me! When I get back in January, I'll be trying to figure out a way to purge some of my stash. We are both getting to the age where we need less stuff, and both of us have pretty serious health issues, so there's that. Anyway, if any of you know of a good site to sell on, please let me know. So far, it looks like I'd have a tough time recouping postage if I sell on one of the Facebook groups - let me know if you have ideas!

Here we go - today's stash...

The first two cards are made using this super fun set from Unity Stamps. Aren't they fun?

One of my best friends needed 3 cards for siblings that had just lost their mother. The mom always said 'Peace Out'. Mynn Kitchen helped me with the peace out panel - thank you Mynn! The stamping in the background was done with a set I found on the sale rack at Hobby Lobby for $2.49. It was totally perfect for these cards! Rumor has it that the kids enjoyed getting them.

Stampin'Up! products and 2 strips of red and white dotted Washi Tape.

Stampin'Up! products

Stampin'Up! products

I think we did this one at a Card and Cuppa class - so...this has to be Stampin'Up! products (I think...)

That's all I have for today!

Thanks for letting me clear out some photo files - whew....

Enjoy your first weekend post election - I'm planning to B.R.E.A.T.H.E. for the first time in many months!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Hello friends!

Hello friends!

I'm back with a few more 'lost and found' photos to share with you. Give me a shout out if you need more info than I have time to share, and I'll try to help you out!!!

Another fun Ruth Petsel card!!!

I can't remember! Maybe card and cuppa? Sigh...

One more Stampin'Up! kitty card...

This was a mystery package from Sally McDonald at a Card and Cuppa get together. She gave us each 'scraps' of this and that, and we were to make a card, and she would give us a discount on our next Stampin' Up! order. How cool is that?

This was way too much fun! It's a Unity stamp set, and I totally love it!

Ugh, another one I don't remember, but it is definitely Stampin' Up! products!!!

Thanks for dropping by!!! We are about to begin radiation treatments - wish us well! Hoping this makes my handsome man well, and he can finally begin to enjoy his retirement!!!

Hugs to all,

Patti J.

Whew....getting back to 'normal' ???

Howdy!

How are you? It's rainy, and oh, so dreary here in Mo. It's been a perfect day to be in my girl cave, playing with paper. I'm actually working on some things to share with you in June!!!

Things are slowly getting back into a normal routine here, but I still have SO many things to share that I created but never posted. I'm going to attempt to clear out that file in the next week or so. You can consider this your warning - I am going to flood the blog with photos and very little talk.

Enjoy!!! Ask questions if something jumps out at you :)

Thanks for popping in!

See you soon,

Patti J.

April Workshop

Howdy friends!

My bestie, Shirley, and I just finished our April 28th workshop. The way we work, we split the group in half. Half of the group will start with her, and the other half will start with me. When done, we swap groups, and go again.

I hate to admit that things were so busy that day, I didn't even see what she had her group create!  But....I thought I'd share what my projects were.

Most of these ladies are beginning stampers, so our projects have to be fairly easy to accomplish, and something they can have a good time creating.  It's always fun to bring back some older techniques, like...

Alcohol Inks

Shaving Cream Technique 

A little sponging and learning to use Glossy Accents

And of course, our participants always get a freebie or three to say thanks for coming!

Here's what I made for them:

Ha ha...Ghirardelli! Because one cannot create without chocolate!

Side view - holds a snack size Kit Kat bar because one cannot create without chocolate!

This one holds a single nugget, because one cannot create without chocolate!

Hopefully Shirley will post her projects as well!!!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Take care!

Patti J.
