Couple of items and more

Today I received the nicest card from the RAK group at Split Coast Stampers.  Heather sent me this card.  She did such a nice job.

My friend made the next card front in a sympathy swap.  I happened to need a quick card so she gave me one of the fronts she had made.  She did a beautiful job. 

Right now things are so hectic.  Its the last 2 weeks of school.  Plus I have a big ugly scary birthday coming up on the 30th.  Lets just say I am 29 again with LOTS of experience lol.

Back more after school.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!!!

Hello all.  Happy Easter..Hope everyone is enjoying it with their families.  Thought I would bring you a picture of our Easter egg coloring endeavors last night.

Here is all our colors ready and waiting for the eggs to be dropped in and magically turn beautiful colors.

  And my Paul in all his artistry making those eggs just beautiful.  He had so much fun as you can tell by those inky fingers… (Note to self: Bath tonight is a must LOL).

And last but not least the spoils left by the Easter Bunny.

With that I leave you to your wonderful Easter.  Hope you all enjoy it.

Today not only was a bad day at home and work but also from the school standpoint.  That midterm I took a couple weeks ago …. well I got 90 on it.. well if the total possible was 100 then I would have been ecstatic but the total possible was 200 yes thats right 200.  The only thing I can say is thank God for the curve…. I do still have a chance to pull my grades out but the next month is going to be H***.  Wish me luck if you can.  Its going to be a long 45 days or so.

Sorry for the Delay

Here is an update on the sampler I am working on.  I almost have the Temple in the middle done. I have done some of the backstitching on it.  There is a ton of it but it sure makes it pop. 

I am hoping they like this when I have finished.

ta ta for now.

Updates....

Stay tuned I will have an update on my sampler that is in progress…. I have a good portion of the temple stitched. now for the backstitching… ugggggh I hate back stitching.

I have a midterm today in Taxation. Wish me luck.

Thanks for stopping by.

Work..Work..Work..Little bit of Stitching… Work

Well I had to work all weekend.  We are so behind that we are working overtime.  Its been a pain as far as trying to study and such but I did get a tiny bit of stitching in. 

Stoney Creek sent me a model to work on (of course I cant show that here) but I also commissioned a personalized sampler from Stephanie Twillman of www.nouveauencore.com she is fabulous to work with.  This sampler is for one of our Partners at work who is going on a 3 year LDS mission in July.  I had the sampler personalized for him and his wife.  Below is a picture of what it will look like.  Its gorgeous.

Stephanie just did fabulous work.  I am just amazed.  Check her website out… you wont be dissapointed.

I am now an Angel!!!!

LOL no I am not bragging... I signed up with The Angel Company... I am officially a demonstrator for them.  I am really excited.  I signed up mostly to be a Hobby Demo (lol basically I am my own best customer) but hey if other orders come my way I won't turn them down lol.  I love their stamps.  I got a whole bunch with my starter kit and I placed my first order and have a bunch more coming.  I will need to start making more cards to put on my blog now I suppose lol.   Right now they have a fabulous deal going on.  Any T coded stamp set is 50% off.  LOL I took advantage of that.  I also got an additional 50.00 worth of stamp sets in addition to my starter kit.  It was like Christmas all over again. 

Well I have to get back to the books again.... School is back in.

OMG I am a winner...

Kathy over at Bits and Pieces blog pulled my name for a drawing for some Blog Candy.  I can not believe this.  I never win anything.  I am so excited.  Below is a picture of the blog candy that she gave away.  She is soooo generous.  I just can't believe I won it.  Here is Kathy's blog for all you stampers out there, kathatstamps.  I hope all of you are having a wonderful new year.  School starts again on Tuesday so it will be back to the grind for me.  Ugggg I just keep reminding myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Happy Birthday Card...

I joined a swap on Splitcoast Stampers and it was for birthday cards.  I made this one from a sketch provided on sheetload of cards blog.  I used Kraft paper as a base and Black, Pixie Pink, & Pretty in Pink.  I think it turned out pretty good. 

The picture is a bit askew... The card isn't crooked.  I would do things a bit differently if I was making the card again.  I would put ribbon on the bottom of the striped piece before I mounted it down lol.   But for my first attempt it isn't too bad.

My very first Biscornu finish!!!!

Well I finally did it.  I ventured into the world of Biscornu's.  I saw a pattern on the online needlwork show that I had to have.  My friend Margot loves pigs so when I saw the design "Holy Mud" by Barbara Ana I had to get it.  Below are some pics of what it was supposed to look like and my Biscornu.  I dont think its too bad considering its my first attempt.  I would like to thank Mary Katherine from STO for the instructions on how to finish it.  I got them off her blog I believe. 

This is what its supposed to look like.

Here is my actual Biscornu.  I thought this design was just too cute to not stitch for my friend. 

      

All in all not to shabby for my first attempt.  I didnt use the same fabric colors as the model but I still thought it turned out ok.  Margot loved it and was tickled pink lol excuse the pun. 

 

Till the next time.
