No school again for  daughter today   The temp right now -3  not to sure  what the wind chill is   All I do know is that it is FREEZING here in Michigan  .. So what better way to  warm up than  a nice  cup of  coffee or Hot chocolate in the form of  a card of course ..  I used   the Pretty in pink note cards  from the winter mini  along with my moms  stamp set "Like it a latte"  from the winter mini also  ,for the layering CS I used close  to cocoa and whisper white .  for the  creamy foamy  topping I used  my Liquid Appli. along with  Lt pink Gingham ribbon ..  for my   doodle dots I used  some pens I have found buried in the back of my draw under  all kinds of other things..  What are they your asking ??   Without sounding like an enabler, I  bought  these pens  over a year ago and had not used them yet  . Maybe thats because  they were buried under everything  and I could not find them until this past weekend . The price on them  showed I paid 12.99  when I know they may be more now . Here is what  they look like in their package . They are called SOUFFLE  they are sooo very cool   they write like a  gel pen  and  come out milky in color  but when dry they  are puffy  like a embossed image  ..  When you run your fingers across the  doodles they  are little bumps , So I guess you can say  this card  has a lot of touchy feely   things going on ..  When I looked them up HERE on the Gelly Roll site  these pens sell for 19.80  for this package of 10 colored puffy pens  that I have .. On my card I used the pink pen  for the doodles on the top and bottom of my note card .. These pens are so fun ..

Guess what  is  back tomorrow ? LOST!! Yahoo!  cant wait  and No fear of missing it since it  comes on at 10pm now …Every Wednesday  I  felt rushed to get home after  church.. But now  at 10pm  this is going to be awesome  time  for us personally .. BUT then again any time would have been  good  cause we have TIVO now.. We are loving our Tivo   love Love Love it .. Just wish every TV in the world came with it .. I feel like many of you .. Once you have Tivo you will think How did we  survive  without it  for so long .. Its really that awesome ..

Later  this afternoon early evening   we are all going to go  see  my Friend Linda  and her Family  ( Yes Ben  will be there for  Jessie ) Linda had Surgery on her knee  this past Friday  so we all  are taking dinner out to them . This should be fun .. and guess what I made Linda ? you haven’t guessed yet ??  A Diorama box card  and yes its in Pink  ( her favorite color)  she is going to freak over it ..

Last night I was  at a meeting  for  the yahoo group I am a mod on  and guess what I got to do ? I learned  how to  IM ( instant message )  Can you believe it .. I see my daughter  on there all the time with her friends   .. How fun I was up late last night  IM with   Gwen , Debby , Darla   so hey you want to join me in IM  my  screen name is Stampingtilldawn. I am  so behind the times I suppose  but this IM thingy is a blast.. Better late than never  right ? I am sending BIG  BIG hugs to  my girls  that showed me how to get it going and  for them putting up with all my  funny  audibles ..  Also I want to send a BIG  huge  Hug to Fran Trischetta  she sent me the most adorable  CD holder in the mail yesterday  with a  awesome present inside ..  a CD with  2007 Leadership photos  she took while she was there .. This CD is sooo awesome    and sooo organized  Thank you Fran you are sooo very thoughtful…

Today I am going to try and make Valentines  day cards for my Sunday school kids   and also stamp on their  permission slips I made out for them to go to Cesar Land  on the 18th ..  My SS  kids learned the new Testament books of the Bible  and this is their reward ..  What a fun time we are going to have there , anyway I want to stamp something fun  on  the permission slips  that I will be handing out  this upcoming Sunday , I Just Pray they all can go  since this is  a  BIG  reward for their BIG Achievement

  Stay warm  & I will See you tomorrow .

Until later .. Happy Stampin!
