Howdy Stampers :
So much has happened this past week and if you are following me on facebook HERE much of this will be old news :) except the samples of Jessie's senior pictures ( below )
I finally finished burning all my Glitter Queens CD's ~ which has over 500 photos from Convention.
Here is a photo of those minus the ones that I sent out to my Newest Glitter Queens with their welcome packet .. Every Quarter I send my Glitter Queens a quarterly card But they will get this CD instead of the quarterly card to show my appreciation of them and to give them alot of inspiration in their Stamping Business :)
I love you Glitter Queens You are the Best Stamping Team in the world !
Which by the way tomorrow ( Aug 31, 2009 ) will be the last day to take advantage of the Starter kit specials going on right now Click HERE for more details on that .
My Hubby is home again for 2 short weeks he arrived on Thursday and I am sooo Happy .
This past Thursday night Jessie got her Nose pierced . I know weird huh? she has actually wanted to do this for a very long time and well my thoughts are at least with a piercing she can remove it Unlike a tattoo which is forever .
I told her if she asked her Dad and he said ok then she can do it . Well as you can see in the photo she got it done . She paid for it all her Dad did was sign for her, I didn't go with them when she got it done since I was affraid of passing out if I watched :)
This past week I also recieved this AWESOME Coach purse from my favoritest Cousin ( Ruthie) Can you believe that ? WOWZIE It really is amazing what a new purse can do for a gal :) Seriously never thought I was a coach purse kinda a gal But I love it ! Thank you Ruthie sooo much !
Tomorrow Hubby and I will be celebrating our 21st Wedding Anniversay.
If you have been following me on facebook you all know what I got him this year ( will share later since Hubby may see this post before tomorrow and Don't want to spoil it Hee! Hee! sooo AWESOME and he will love it ! ) . Then Him & I will be going to Ruth Chris Steakhouse for dinner YUMM-O!!
Sept 1,2009 the New Holiday mini starts ~ If you placed an order with me over the last year your mini is on it's way to you with a small delay from Stampin'Up! since SU! is mailing the mini's to you for me .
Today after church the gang is going to Whiteys for Lunch /Dinner.
We got Jessie senior picture proofs back on Friday and here is a sample of the hundreds of photos we have to decide on . Jessie asked me to only show a few of the ones that we are NOT getting .
The 1st one is not one of our Choices BUT the photos will be changed out But keeping the same design/lay out. I just love the looks of this type of photo..
Here are 2 other proofs from the bunch that we did not pick from But I still love them.
Click on photos to enlarge your viewing if you like..... :)
