Today I wanted to show you a photo of my week daughter ( Ash) on the day she got married 7-3-2010. So Beautiful !
Since I posted a photo of my Week daughter I want to share this photo of Jessie & Ken . This Tuesday will be their offical 1 month being together So cute counting the months ( I remember that )
Now we count the years ~Which Aug 31 will be 22 years for Hubby & I which translates to 264 months ~ How funny is that ..
Such sweet photos IMHO (In My Humble Opinon ) .
It sure has been crazy the last few months and by the end of July My life should slow down for me enjoy the rest of the summer on other things. No way am I complaining More like Praising God for bringing me though everything that I was commited to doing and not stressing out ( Yea right ... Ok not to much stress'n) over it all. Thank you Lord !
Last night was my Stampers club meeting and I just love my girls . We have so much fun stamping and laughing. ( Missed you Carol & Darlene ) I will share the projects we made this upcoming week !
Tomorrow starts VBS at our church and runs all week till Friday .This years theme is western Saddle Ridge Ranch . My Favorite song This year is Tumbleweed .
I must say with everything going on I have had really no time to devote as much time as I would have liked to for the VBS music I will be doing this upcoming week . But Praise God The kids will learn faster then I do .
Here is the video from last years VBS 2009
Hubby is coming home again on the 19th of July and I am very excited about that . Rich & I both have been going through withdraws from the Harley rides .
For my Sunday share I thought I would post one of my most favorite songs from Michael W Smith Agnus Dei
I am currently in the middle of getting gifts made for my Glitter Queens ( Downline ) who will be attending SU! Convention with me this month. I am sooo excited .
The last time I had my Glitter Queens attend this exciting annual event with Stampin'Up! was back in 2006 I believe .
I am sooo EXCITED to have them go this year.
Any who as I was making my list of goodies to make I thought I would add this Photo album to the list . Plus this was one of those videos that needed a update so I thought I would film the next few videos on just some of the gifts I will be giving to my Glitter Queens .
This photo album will be of course a place where they can add a few photos from their 1st Stampin' Up! Convention experience BUT I will be presenting this to them with gifts inside too :) How fun is that ?
Oh my goodness how perfect is that crown from the Artistic Etchings stamp set # 120573 for my Glitter Queens gifts ? LOVE IT!!
I have even more items I will be giving them each day at Convention But I will share those with you when I am at convention via Video/s in just a few weeks stay tuned for those goodies ..

P.S Don't you love how SU! added the sizes of the punches in the brand new catalog :) Thank you SU!
For todays card I used the Baroque Motifs # 113490 this isn't a Brand new stamp set, But I haven't used it in awhile so I thought it was about time to dust it off and use it again .
I did use the brand new stamp set Perfect Punches # 120516 for the "Thanks" with the Large Oval punch#119855 .
Once again I use the Early Espresso card stock #119686 for the base of my card with Whisper White # 100730 then layered that onto Chocolate Chip card stock # 102128 ..
You may not be able to tell the difference between these 2 colors in the photo of the card even when you click photo to enlarge But the Espresso is a much deeper & richer brown color ~ see photo for comparison ( Love it ).
I finished off my card with a sponge# 101610 on the edges with Early Espresso ink #119670 and then used the Log cabin Smooch Spritz #119921
