I just love this crab,,  I got a feeling this set is  gonna be alot like my  Unforgettable  set( Highly used )  you may see a pattern  with me in the  next few days with this little guy and I really don’t know why BUT I seem to like to  color  this cute crab  in 2 colors .  Hey did you know I don’t eat seafood ?  Yup seafood makes my RA flare up  really  bad .. Don’t know why I Threw that little tid bit of info in the mix , Maybe  cause we talking Crabs I really don’t know .. Hubby Love seafood Everything even Octopus YUCKY!!  There was a time I  use to eat seafood  But that  would only consist of maybe shrimp ( which I know is sooo good HUH? ) But really I don’t miss it to much  Well until days like this  when I talk about it  Hee! Hee!  Ok  something funny about this card .. The day I received  Beate’s  blog RAK card , Is the same morning I  send out   this card  to her .. Pretty funny huh? .. and of course I didn’t know she RAK’d me until after I had dropped off her card in the mail ,  And last night she  emailed me to  tell me she got it .. so Thats what I was waiting  on to  post it for all of you ..( I wanted her to see  the card 1st ) KWIM? didn’t want to ruin the  surprise element of it all  even though her card is   the opposite in color layout ( red on sage ) . OK for my Crab card I used real red  base with  sage shadow strips  I stamped the itty bitty background onto the sage shadow ( which you can barely  see )  and colored in my crab with real red and sage shadow markers , added a little shadow with going gray and my aqua painter brush  and added  red  stickles glitter to my crab and to the side  with glitter dots,  which glitter  always makes  a card Fabulous  don’t you agree ?  but for the fun part I used my new crop a dile  for the eyelets on my crab card ..I so love my crop a dile . I punched out the O’s in the saying and added sage shadow eyelets  along  with  adding a couple to the bottom right corner  .. Man this card really sparkles  like crazy.. Maybe its because I added the  red  stickles glitter ontop of the real red  HUMM?  I don’t know .. But I love it .

Today is the day  I personally get to met our   possible  new pastor for breakfast today I am soo excited .. Hubby says  he is a  real sports nut and  Loves Michigan  State  at our last  business meeting   when we all were talking about  him  coming to preach (  tomorrow )   we all laughed and thought it would be sooo funny if every  person  would wear  Eastern Michigan’s  colors ( Green and  white ) on the Sunday morning he was to preach ..  what a hoot that would be  huh?  To tell you the truth  me and my family  Excluding my dad( my Dad loved  everything especially  Red wings Hockey )   are not big  football fans  actually  really not big  sport fans at all , So yes I lucked out in getting a man  that doesn’t live for sports  TV.( how did that happen ?)  and yes I am always hearing if my hubby and daughter play Basket ball  cause  hubby is 6"5 and daughter is over 6" But NOPE neither  play   or ever want to .. Go figure .. I think thats the most asked  question when we 1st meet  someone  is the  basketball question  any who . I am so excited about  this morning and later this afternoon   and then also about my class tonight ..YIPPY!  I can hardly wait to tell you all about it tomorrow ( smirk  and a wink )

OH MY we got  some snow last night  and  winds are still howling  like crazy here in Michigan  Thank goodness this Pastor  is use to weather  in Michigan  cause it may scare anyone  else especially  if they were coming from the  southern states .. Ok  everyone ..I am off  to  get  the rest of my day started   But before I go I just wanted to  tell you all I soo appreciate  your personal emails  to me  you all are such an encouragement to me  ..It never fails when I seem to be having a down moment  for some reason( Yes I have   been having  them  for the last few days it seems )   you pop up and send me  such  wonderful  and kind emails  that touches my heart  and makes me smile ..  Knowing you all took the time to  share your thoughts   and  your appreciation  of me and my blog  makes me get all teary eyed . Thank you  for all your  wonderful emails  and  words of encouragement  you all are the BEST!!  Thanks for being here every day  and taking part of my life  weather  stamping  related or in my personal life. Seriously  blogging has  been such a blessing to ME personally  ,  and I am soo glad I started  to blog  on so many levels for myself,  and having you all here to  share  in  all I do makes  it all the sweeter.sending  big {{{{HUGS}}}} to each of you .
