I had to break out my silly sea life stamp set BOY its been awhile since I used this set and it just reminds me of why I love it sooo much . I remember like it was yesterday when this set hit the market and I was sooo excited to have this set go right along with my fishy friends set Which is also one of my favorite sets .. This card I had designed mainly for Gabby as a thank you note for her card she gave me on Monday .. BUT like I mentioned Just love my silly sea life .. So this is another one of my Stamp-a-stack cards I used one of my brand new envelope templates "YOU" and Highlighted the YOU in Glitter ( of course ) and my scallop punch too, and Its really something funny with this little guy I love really love coloring him OR should I say HER since she is pixie pink and Orchid opulence.. I so love her smile Hee! Hee! I am giving you fair warning more MR Crabby pants are on their way .. I had so much fun yesterday and late last night stamping More cards and I just could NOT resist Mr Crabby Pants any longer ..
OH MY did you all see LOST!! I was crackin Up with Sawyer last night I really don’t think I can handle him being "The night GUY" so to speak I love his sigh remarks But I have to admit even the nice sawyer had me crackin up with his facial expressions .. I love Sawyer.. OOOO the black floating monster with the loud moaning returned last night OH MY that was sooo freaky .. It is just me or is everyone story line that shows the past seems to be repeating again on the Island..Kind makes me feel like when God has a lesson for us and we don’t get it the 1st time around it seems he has us go through it again ..Ya know " GOING AROUND THAT MOUNTAIN " again " Kate’s story line made it soo clear to me that when they flashed back to her searching for her mom and wanting approval from her .. wasn’t she searching for Jack and wanting some approval from him also . and then she was befriended by Sawyers woman from the past ( OH MY She is pregnant) and how that all tied into Julia befriending her also on the island .. and also Where did John and the others GO ? and what was up those Flashes of light with that black smoke monster thingy that happened with Kate and Julia.. and why don’t Jack and them bring the whole group to the village where the houses are ? maybe thats coming up in weeks to come.. something about last night show was totally awesome I loved the way they were showing both parts of the island story lines .. Man that hour goes by sooo fast HUH? so what are your thoughts ? would love to hear what you all think ..
Richard called yesterday and he has finally reached his location yesterday and Its the PITS to say the least .. he said it is worse than what we see on the TV show MASH the bathrooms are out houses , the showers are not located close to him and has to walk a bit to get to them .. The base just recently got a coffee house and thats it .. My only thoughts are thats why he is there to help build that base and make it like others over there .. A little more comfortable for them and the military .. The tents have dirt floors and he has only a 3×3 space for his stuff he also said he has to get dressed in the hallway of the tent cause there is NO room . He also mentioned he has a cot to sleep on NO pillow Just a sheet so it looks like when I send out the 1st package in a couple weeks NOT only will I be sending him his Lap top BUT also his pillow and some other bedding things. it seems all he could do yesterday was laugh BUT I think he was in shock on how bad the base is there ~Ya know laugh to stop from crying type of thing~ .. He did say the base LOOKED Nothing like the photos they showed him . BUT again my thoughts are maybe that what they are aiming for what they sent him and others there to do .. Today is the 1st day for him to report in and do more briefing and then maybe go to work .. They have only 2 building there and It is a small base the compound /base he said was about the size of the high school at the end of my street .. I hope he is taking lots of photos for us to see . He is able to connect to a direct ph line to Houston so He avoids the international surcharge on the calling cards so that is a AWESOME thing !! cause if he were to use the calling cards as a international call he would lose 37 mins of the card right off the top Not including the time we actually get to talk .. Yesterday I sent him card with a letter and some photos of the parsonage for our new pastor that he done so much work in ..
The finished parsonage is sooo beautiful I thought I would share a before and after with all of you to see what my hubby done .. Of course I had sent him about 14 photos but for the sake of limited space I will only show you the before and after He put up all the new dry wall in the kitchen and also laid the new wood floor and also helped in putting in the new Cabinets .. YUP Hubby is sooo very talented . as you can see by the after photo and wow what a difference HUH?
P.S Our new Pastor has arrived and started moving in yesterday YAHOO He was also at church last night so excited about this Sunday when he will be preaching Easter Sunday ..
Have a Great day and I will see you all tomorrow
Until later … Happy Stampin!













hey there, cute card, once again you’ve used a set I don’t have:(
As for Lost, that show just freaks me out! Where is Locke? Where’s his dad? Didn’t we see him a few weeks ago? As for Sawyer, how can we not like him? whether he’s the good guy or the bad! I don’t trust that blond chick, she’s with “the others”, looks like the Iraq dude (I know his name but don’t have a clue how to spell it, do you?) gets on her case next week. Maybe we’ll get some info then!! Hey, where was Charlie last night?
Glad you heard from your hubby!! Let us know when we can start making cards for him! I have some friends that will help. Isn’t there some restrictions? I know at Christmas we couldn’t use certain things that weren’t allowed in their religion over there. Let me know, okay?
Hi Dawn – very cute card!!! I am starting to really fall in love with what the cuttlebug can do… will have to wait for a sale to happen here. Swayer…. my oh my…. he’s got that bad boy effect, and yet there is sweet candy under there (we just know, right?!)… I love the show – didn’t get to watch this week’s one yet, though – so I’m pretty excited about it, after reading what you’ve wrote. I will have to rewind my DVR and watch it today!! Let me tell ya – I’m so addicted… I even went around the island looking for where they were shooting this show!! Unfortunately – it was a rainy day (there were plenty of rainy shots too, huh?), and I was in NO LUCK finding the LOST crew. Boo Hoo!!! The ride was still fun and exciting though. Oh well… maybe I’ll try again sometime in the next couple of weeks….
Aloha!
Jen
Got to talk about LOST, you are so right about the story line of Kate being so closely related to how she just wants to do the right thing and get approval, but she keeps messing up. I thought the same thing about the village, like Hello, why don’t you live there instead of in the Jungle with the big scary monster and maybe take a shower or something before you go Kate and Julia. And yeah where is John and his dad? Oh and Sawyer Oh my goodness he is such a hottie!! I love Hurley though too he is so sweet! OK can’t wait till next week. And again I know what you mean fastest hour of my week is the hour I watch LOST. Happy Day!!!!
OMG! I finally had time to read, I mean really read your blog. I will continue to pray for you and Richard and Jessie. You have a great outlook on what he has told you and I’m sure it is very difficult for all of you and you are trying to keep him as positive as possible. Just keep in mind your end result to keep working towards those goals.
Oh, and awesome card! I can’t wait to make all the cards you have planned for the Stamp-a-Stack I registered for.
great octopus! love how your glitterfied the YOU
Hi Dawn! You totally inpsired me to get a Cuttlebug. I LOVE that thing! I need more embossing folders though! You know how that is!
Lost- WOW! My entire family watches that show! Sawyer- he is just delicous no matter how they serve him up! I keep getting answers to some questions, but then have 3x as many more at the end of each show! Where did John’s dad go?!?! Why was he so cryptic with Kate? Is Jack going to fall for Julia now? I still don’t trust her. Sayid is just fantastic. Thank goodness he’s with them. I agree- why not move everyone from the beach to the compound? For goodness sakes- if they have to stay on the island, why not live as comfortably as possible. And why isn’t Sun showing yet?!?!?!?!?!
Hi Dawn,
Love ALL your design’s. You so inspire me! Please let me know when you are going to ship cards to Richard, as I would love to donate a stack or two!
Love that crab card, above. I want the set so bad! Hey, another LOST lover. Aren’t you disappointed it is off the air after this season? I love that large “rotund” guy so much. Isn’t he huggable? It was neat how he tricked Sawyer. And wasn’t Sawyer’s smile just melt you? I’m wondering why the LOST people aren’t moving up to the houses. I think the people who lived in the houses went on to heaven. Even though the producers said that LOST isn’t in “limbo” before heaven, I think it is. After watching this past week’s episode, I think we are going to find out that every single person is connected in one way or another. What an awesome show! Thanks for blogging about it.
