We have just about a 2 weeks until the retirement list will be announced ( Dec 1st ) .. Are you all excited ? and then the REAL excitement starts with the new catalog coming January 1st .. I love New Stampin goodies and with 2 catalogs a year now there will not be a shortage of new things to get .I am guessing there will not be a HUGE retirement list this time ( But who knows?? ) But once they are gone they will be gone forever so Don’t let the retirement list pass you by without getting the goodies you really really want . I thought I would share the 2 cards I gave away this past Friday on my OTHER BLOG with all of you today .. Hopefully you took advantage of this set ( WISHING YOU CHEER ) when you could get it for 20% off up till Nov 3rd .. It is truly one of the sweetest sets I have .. For some reason when I made this snowman card It looks sooo 3-D… I didn’t do anything special with the coloring , Just used the SU! markers thats it .. I think it’s the small details in these stamps images that make them sooo stinkin cute … I just love this tiny snowman . look at all the glitter Gotta love all that too .
Remembering Our Veterans today ..
Here are a couple photos of my hubby while he was serving our country in the US Navy Seabees for 6 years 1988-1993 . These photo were taken of him while he was serving in Desert Storm in 1991. ( if you click on the 1st photo to make larger you can see the 8×10 photo of him and I hanging from the tent frame . Boy we were soo young in that photo ..) Who would have thought that after he got out of the US Navy Seabees he would be in Iraq as a Electical sub contractor 14 years later .. God Bless all our Veterans
Have a Thankful Veterans Day !!
Until tomorrow …. Happy Stampin!!
I just knew we had a “connection” My DH was a Seabee too!! Figure the odds… He served from 1983 (pretty much straight out of High School) until he retired in 2003.
Hardly anyone even knows who/what the Seabees are, so it’s just fabbo to check your blog this morning to find a picture of one (and can I say such a cute little ol’ bee, too) there, complete with the old style uniform.
Tell your hubby Hi from me!!
Good Morning Dawn!
Love your cards…the glitter adds so much! Fab job!
Great pictures of your husband! When I clicked on the blog I thought…hmmm who is that young fellow?! haha! Thanks for sharing some old pics! Fantastic!
We had our Remembrance Day ceremonies yesterday…always such a sad time.
Hope you have a Thankful Veterns Day.
Hugs
Dawn
Amazing what happens over a period of time how things end up. You never know what Divine Providence has planned for you along your journey.
Hi Dawn,
You can get a sneak peak at the new catty on the demo site in the Dec stampin success there. LOVE THE new patterned paper! Not to mention a stamp set called ‘all scallops’ AND RUB ons!! woo hoo!
Can’t wait!
Bobbie 🙂
Isn’t Rich adorable! Kirk didn’t know who it was when I showed him the picture. I had forgotten how skinny he was back then! Can’t wait to see him in Jan. We sure do miss him! XO
Your cards are simply adorable!! I love the glittered edges!!
Great photos of Rich too! Thanks for sharing them, and for all our veterans on this day and always!

Hi Dawn
HUGE fan of yours from AUSTRALIA
I was just wondering how you added the glitter to the outside of the cards – it looks so beautiful all framed like that!
