Its FRIDAY YAHOO!! No stamping required for todays post project . I just love SU! simply scrappin kits . Don’t you .. so many great things we can do with them. OOPS I am sorry I did do a little tiny bit of stamping with my new set "Fancy Flexible Phrases " from the winter mini Love this set of really small fancy words I stamped the sweet, sweet, sweet on certainly celery and layered that on to a small strip of the border thats included in the SS kits .Yesterday I received my GR goodies, something only Demonstrators would understand ( sorry) anyway I cashed in a few of my points and I got all the 12 x12 card stock .. YAHOO! I think since I started stampin I have only like 2 color groups in 12 x12 so WOWZIE now I am all set . Today I have to finish up on my project worksheet for my classes Other than that I have to check in with my mom she was sooo sick yesterday stomach flu she was in really bad shape yesterday and I was worried about her since she started doing those NASTY things that happen when your sick at 4:00am yesterday morning and didn’t stop until after 3:00pm yesterday , She said her stomach felt worse than having a baby ( ME ) so please be washing your hands everyone it is still going around and its a doozie of a flu . Poor Momma.. I want to send a HUGE Thank you out to all of you that bought my Scissor charms yesterday .. You all are going to love them .. I have all your charms ready to be sent to you .. Even had to put hubby to work after Jaycene ordered 15 large . I will still be selling them so if you ever need a scissor charm check back here .. The link is on the top left side bar ( Dawns Scissor Charms ) .. I have updated and what you see listed is what I have left on yesterdays post .. Just a really cute and smart way to ID your scissors and also add some bling ( Bling is good right ?) I have some cleaning to do in my stamp room today and maybe some stamping is in order especially since my calender is jammed pack with Birthdays and Anniversarys cards to be sent .. OH MY I almost forgot to mention BE praying for my Hubby because he has a job opportunity to go to Africa for 10 weeks and work in a refinery using his skills as a Journeyman electrician.. What an awesome Opportunity. He has always loved going to places like this while in the Navy Seabees and since getting out of the Arm Forces the only exotic place we been is Florida 🙂 Yup Disney Land Hey maybe not Exotic but sure FUN!! and when He comes back after 10 weeks or so the company will send him some where else. The only reason I am excited for him is that I know he can handle it ( remember he is a man that can do just about anything ) Just pray his foot heals up quickly .. He is sooo excited about going .. His name will be kept on the books here in MI at the union hall he is # 1600 on the books so it looks to be a long haul before he gets back to his electrical union job . Hey not sure how jobs are going across the country in the US but it sure is NOT looking good here in MI All the cuts from the Big 3 and even more it is soo scary and I feel so Bad for those that are getting cut from their job.. Funny thing when we 1st got out of the military everyone was telling my hubby to get a job in one of the auto plants that there was security in those jobs and well 14 years later There is NO security anywhere ( except in my Lord Jesus Christ Of course ) Job security that is .. and Let me just tell you something else with new taxes from our lovely Governor ( being sarcastic ) she is going to be trying to pass a new tax here in MI for business to business .Whats that you say Read about it here .. well if you have any services done example : hair cut, mufflers on car , brakes done , anything that requires you to have a company do a service for you we will be taxed on not only the parts BUT labor too DO you all realize how many taxes we all pay In the US? and why? A Thousand of years ago , even as little as a 100 years ago we didn’t have all these taxes and we were the most richest country ever . Ok I am off my soap box and thanks for being patient while I shared that .. cause I feel alot better now OK well as good as can be expected . after all that I have to say I am Thankful today .. I am Thankful for being a Christian, having my Family and friends and Of course stamping My list is endless for things I am Thankful for .. Make your list today . Have a fabulous Friday and I will see you tomorrow ..
Until later .. Happy Stampin!












Very cute card, Dawn–I have that set and must try to make it. I am a good copier and give you credit!!!
I agree with your tax opinions. We are taxed to death it seems. Here in NC we even pay tax on our food. In PA we didn’t pay tax on food or clothes which was really nice.
Hope your mom feels better. This flu bug is a nasty one and thanks for reminding us to wash our hands. That is so important.
Your charms are precious and sure wish I could order a few right now, but it will have to wait for a bit.
Love,Cheryl
Good Luck to Richard for his opportunity to go to Africa! Hope your mom is feeling better soon! And of course your card is wonderful!
OMG!
Africa? No Way! Really? For Sure? What an opportunity!
Great card for Friday, hip hip horray!
And, I’m so excited for the class tomorrow, I can’t wait!
Dawn,
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorites that you have made. The colors are all so pretty together.
I will say lots of prayers thatyour husband gets to go to Africa for work. How exciting. 🙂 I look forward to getting my scissor charm. As for yout taxes. I am so blessed to be living in a state where we do not have taxes. Well, we have house taxes but that is it.
