Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

Starting Yesterday I thought it would be fun to give my hubby alittle something  for  the next 5 days  for Valentines day .

The Gummi Bears  is what he got Saturday . For the tag I used the stamp set called Under the Stars # 111556  along with the Beary Nice Wishes stamp set # 118050 

The Jelly Belly Jelly beans  is what today.

I will share the rest of the  goodies he will be getting over the next 3 days with you this week .

My Stampers club was last night and  Oh my goodness  we had so much fun ! I love my girls and can't wait  till our next get together .

Look what My hubby bought us... I thought it was an early Valentines Day gift BUt he said it's just because Awww he is so sweet . I love it ! We needed a new coffee table & end table and just couldn't find one that we both liked well that was until now YAHOO!

For my Sunday share Jessie found this one for us today and  we  were amazed  and all my Hubby kept on saying was

"NO WAY-  Play it again" LOL !  

It really is pretty Amazing !

I can only imagine how much they praticed to get that famous shot   and  then to get it all on video WOW!

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

In the Griffith Household it's  a well known fact  that if there is a jar of pickles  in the frig  that more than likely someone (yes that's me)  will drink the pickle juice before all the pickles are gone LOL ! ( Can't help myself ) so to fight the craving .... I am now buying  single packs of the pickles  you see above .

They are so AWESOME! and yes I get to have my very own Pickle juice and This makes everyone happy in our home  :)

Thank you all so much for your email and comments this week re: Jessie's version of my February 2012 Thank you notes .

Many of you  have mention you love seeing her latest silly videos  she makes with her friends BUT  today  she will be making her 1st stamping video. 

( with a little help from mom and dad too I might add LOL !)

Whats so cute is right before I was setting up to film the video myself ~Jessie said she wanted  to make the video for me .

Hope you get a little  laugh with Jess today .

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday friends !

I thought I would share some photos ( click on them to enlarge your viewing if you like )  from  Leadership  with all of you today  I have alot more  in my Leadership photo gallery HERE  if you want  to check those out I will add more over the next week or so .

Leadership was  so amazing . Stampin'Up! contacted me  about 2- 2/12 months ago and  asked if I would  like to do a presentation  for leadership  OH my goodness thats a 1st time for  to do anything in front of  this many people (well VBS  doesn't count ).

I mentioned to them It would be so much better if I could  do a video with my hands  talking  instead  But guess that's not what they really wanted LOL !

I was chatting with my dear sweet friend Meg ( see photo of us above )  and she said  just  to enjoy  it cause it goes by so fast ...

So with that in mind   I thought it would be fun to take a photo of everyone  that attended  my (3) presentation  sessions ( photos)   it was super fun  and  on the count of 3  we all said HI STAMPERS!!!  It was so Awesome !! 

WOW!!!  YOU all  made me feel  so comforable up there talking & seriously by the 3rd presatation  I was all warmed up LOL !

The next highlight of Leadership was hanging out with my Glitter Queen Joan and our new friend Jana .

WOW what a bunch of laughs we had . We went to dinner out of the beaten path to Piatti  ...so yummy and I bought Make and Takes for us  to make  while we waited for dinner to arrive  Plus look at our Cutie pootie  waiter  with the card  I gave him.

  We laughed cause it said "Love you just the way you are " ( You can view the video on this card HERE )  But of course we said he could give it to his girlfriend  and he said  Yeah or my mom ~ so cute !

The 2nd  night we went to Chick-Fil-A  Oh my goodness we had so much fun there ~tons laughing  We think the Police officers  sitting behind us thought  we must have been on something .. Well yeah we were  high on Stamping  DUH!!

So many friends ... Just  a few  photos of  my sweet friends I got to meet up with at leadership this year .

Plus not sure if you all know this or not about me BUT  when I started making videos I was contacted  by many deaf stampers  and they requested that I do overlays  on my videos since they couldn't hear me talking & guess what?  I got to meet 2 of those beautiful stampers at Leadership ( below) .

Isn't that amazing ! I love  it when things like this happen ( Once in a lifetime  for sure ) .

 For my Sunday Share I thought I would share with you a video from Leadership .  Stampin'Up! announced a stamp room make over contest  and Tamzin Cochrane Won the contest and the video  below shows the Make over  of her Stampin room. So much fun!  

 

Ok 1 more Sunday Share for you . Thanks Gina :)

 

Have a Fabulous Sunday Friends !

Thanks  for peeking in today  .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday friends !

WOW!!  What a fabulous time we had at leadership . Got  to see  so many of my  friends  and my Presentation was alot of fun .

You know that saying  "Enjoy the moment" ?  Boy  that moment went by so quickly too  But I had so much FUN!! I snapped a few great photos  from that moment too and will share  those with you  this upcoming week .

I am currently on my way home today and  today is the last day to get in on my extra FSM token special  while I was away at  Leadership  .

 

Oh my goodness Guess what ?

Last night Joan and I went to the "Purple " store in the mall here in San Antonio Yes  the PURPLE store Can you believe that ? Thank you  to all my friends  who told me about it:) .

Below are the  goodies I got t the purple store . Super fun!

Here is my Sunday share video for you today . Let me Just say a double WOW !

 

While in San Antonio we ate at Chick -Fil-A with my Glitter Queen Joan and  and our friend Jana Friday night ~ What a Great time we had ( We don't have a Chick fil-a in Michigan  at least not that I know of )   and it reminded me of this song from Tim Hawkins  so funny . Joan and I were actually singing this  while  driving there  to funny.

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

Friday night we went our to our great friends Steve and Linda's house for dinner  and guess who else we seen there ?

Solomon !!  Remember cutie Solomon HERE  ? 

Can't believe he is almost 2 years old now and we can't hold him like we use to, even though he thinks we can LOL .

Here are a couple updated photos of  Solomon .The top photo is alittle blurry since he just didn't want  to have his picture taken and would move every time I snap the camera .. but finally the one below  is super cute of him smiling  at me :)

What a Lover boy he is too .

This last week Hubby got his Longboard he had his friend make for him .

The longboard is Fabulous !

Dave  works with Rich  as an Electrican  But also has his own Longboard company called C.R boardworks HERE . 

Just for the record Hubby doesn't skateboard well.... Not yet anyway  ~ Personally I think he needs  to stick to riding his Harley ~ just sayin LOL .

Last week Hubby went to the Motorcycle expo in Novi Mi  and  he brought home a bunch of goodies  But the one thing that he seemed to have the most fun with was this I-Box  toy. 

What it does is the  small circle  end  sticks  to any  hard surface  like glass / metal  and  once it makes contact  that item becomes a speaker  for his I- pod.

Lets just say he was  having a great time  sticking it to the  duc work in the basement and  then the music was playing through the whole house .... But the photo I took of it to show you  he had it  on a cardboard box  which served as his  speaker . Pretty cool huh?

Hubby  and I decided  we needed  to put in a water softener  in our house and the whole plan was  he was going to do this  while I was away at Leadership But...  change of plans  he has already started  adding all the cooper lines and  setting up all the tanks . Then he  will be adding a R.O system  ( Reverse Osmosis Water filter  system ). 

This week I will be leaving for San Antonio TX  for SU! Leadership conference  & Regionals seminar. 

A Quick Reminder : I will be giving an extra FSM token  for your  1st $50.00 order ( before S& H and tax ) starting

January 18, 2012 - January 22, 2012.

My Thank you notes will be sent out once I return home on Sunday

I will be  postings  to my blog while I am away and also have 2 videos  for you later this week .I won't have access to my email while I am away BUT If you have any questions please contact Stampin'Up! at 1800 STAMP UP.

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

So have you  offically  started writting 2012  yet or are you like me  when it takes a couple weeks  to get over writting 2011  and start writting 2012 LOL !

Last week we  sent in our  renewal  for our Passports . Plus I got a new  Drivers License  with a new pic  Just what I wanted  to do for my Birthday  Ha! Ha!  The new license  here in Michigan are kinda funky looking  But then again what license looks  so fabulous you have to show it to everyone " Hey want to see my new License "  ~ NOT!

  I am happy  to report though that  they at least let you look at the photo once they take it and will re-take it if you don't like it, BUT still  the photo is just yucky  in my opinon .

Hubby got me all these beautiful flowers and this yummy cake for my Birthday .  Plus we made a run to IKEA last week  and hubby bought me  lots of  racks  for my punches .

The racks called "Bygel Rails "and are 39" long  and were $2.99 each ( can't beat that price ) .

  I outgrew my shoe rack  so he mounted them on a wall with MDF board  for extra support ( See photo below) . I just love it !

Plus Jessie made us a Birthday  dinner ( Pecan crusted chicken ) since my moms Birthday was January 3rd, and mine was the 5th we celebrated  them both on Thursday . 

We are currently moving my computer to the basement  but I needed internet  down there 1st So when Jessie's boyfriend was here this weekend and him and hubby  got me up and running so my computer is now offically in my stamp room in my basement YAHOO!! 

Last night we took Jessie and Pat  to Whitey's in Davidson.  OH my goodness Whitey's is sooo AMAZING~ The fish is  so so YUMMY and well since Pat has never been it never  takes us long to have an excuse to drive 45 mins  for the BEST all you can eat  fish around !

A funny  story for you  about a Christmas present.

My Father in Law  loves everything that  you can plug in  so that's the  joke  around the family  so when we got his Christmas present Rich turned it into an electrical  slicer . He unscrewed  the back and slid in the electrical cord  and  then tightened  it all back up . Pretty funny  huh?  I took a photo of it  so you all could see  the new fancy  plug in slicer  LOL !

Here is a super cute purple piggy bank I got at Target  the other day . Oh my goodness she is sooo cute .

Today after church  we are having a retirement party for our church secretary of 35 years .

Here is my Sunday share video for you today.

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

This past Wednesday we put our beloved Bowzer down. He  was such a great dog  and we miss him so very much .

He was 13 years old  and  was going blind &  deaf and had  lots of tumors  all over his body and just resently one large tumor above his right eye . 

Bowzer's back legs  were hurting him so much that he was falling  and just resently  he stopped  eating. I can't express how much  he is missed.

Here is my Sunday Share video for you today . One of my ALL time favorite Christmas songs  by Celine Dion .

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday Friends !

This past Thursday we celebrated Jessie's 19th Birthday .

The day started out with her once again wanting to change her hair color .

She went back to  a level 2 which is pretty much black and I must say out of all the  colors she has been I  love this one the best . Then I added a  few foils  in the front and  on the side . I love  the way it turned out and the best part was that she loved it  too :) . 

The one thing  Jessie's asked for  her birthday was windshield wippers How funny is that ?  I wouldn't think  that would be on a list of Birthday presents  for a 19 year old ....

We went out to dinner and she even got a free birthday dessert  & she  shared  it with whoever wanted  to dig in .

We had a wonderful day celebrating our  little girls birthday.

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday Friends !

 Last week Jessie had her 2nd interview at a salon which went Great   and this Wednesday she is going back for a hands on interview. Jessie is taking a friend to cut and blow dry her hair  in front of the owner . We are so excited.

I also colored Jessie's hair this past Friday ( see photo) she is a violet red now it looks great. It's a really nice color on her. It's dark But is red in the light Love that !

Here is a photo of Jessie's Cosmetology license I was suppose  to  show you last week  but totally  forgot  to post it  ..

Look what Jessie and I got  while we were picking up her hair color. Brand new Shellac nail colors .

Oh my goodness a New Purple  and a new sparkley one  YAHOO!! 

The purple one is called "Purple Purple " and the sparkley one  is simular  to the "Mother Pearl " BUT only bigger  sparkles. That one is called "Zillionaire"

Then Jessie got this new OPI Muppets Themed nail polish called Rainbow Connection  Isn't that  pretty~

OH my so many sparkles ~ Love it !

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

Jessie took her  2nd part ( written ) of her state boards this past Tuesday and she passed YAHOO!!    She is offically a Lisenced Cosmetologist  and has  a 2nd interview this upcoming week  at a local salon . So very proud of her !

The really awesome part is that she was issued her license right after she found out she passed  . Unlike me when I got my license  I had  to wait 6-8 weeks  for the paper  license  to show up in the mail box . 

She will still get  the paper  license  but it's really nice  to get  it in your hands  as soon as she passed plus its like a regular drivers license and that's  pretty cool !

Jessie snapped this  cute squirrel in our back yard . Kinda looks like he was possing just for her .

Since tomorrow is Halloween  I thought I would  share 1 more  Halloween card with you  for 2011 . This card was sent to me  from Kathleen Hurley  and it is sooo adorable . Thank you so much Kathleen . Love it !

Quick Reminder :

Tomorrow ( Monday Oct 31, 2011 )  is the last day  to join the SU! Family  and get the Big Shot for FREE  click HERE  for the flyer .

Please contact me if you have any questions  about joining my team .

Also  tomorrow  will be the last day  to purchase (2) Simply Sent Kits and get a Coordinating  Stamp set for FREE .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

This past Friday we had our Harvest party at our church ( Circus Themed )  and we dressed up as clowns . Not scary clowns  but the sweet and innocent kind  (well maybe not so innocent  either) .

We had alot of fun  with all the kids Plus our friends Linda and Steve  dressed up as a lion  and the lion tamer . Cute huh? 

Then there is Andrew  which we gave him a new name "Andrea" . He was so funny . At one point  during the evening we seen his wife  applying Lipstick to him OH my goodness  what a HOOT!

Look at these Fabulous Cupcakes Linda's Daughter ( Whitney) made . I love the Wolf  ones . Whitney said the wolf's mouth is actually a Marshmellow  that was cut  in a V  and then inside  was lined with a fruit roll up . Pretty clever  and oh so Yummy !

This past week Jessie also got a new piercing ( See  photo above  you may have click on photo to view her new piercing)  which is called the Monroe.

Did you know : The Monroe is  on the left hand side and the Madonna is on the right hand side . Hummmm I wonder  where a Cindy Crawford  goes ? Just sayin :)

By the way if  you look closely at the 2nd photo of us with Andrew he has a Monroe too LOL ! Alittle higher compared to Jessie's but  it's there Hee! Hee!

Here is my Sunday Share video for you .. It's a funny one today.

  Hope you get a chuckle .

Hi Stampers :

Today is one of those  days  that I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing 10 years ago  on 9-11-2001 . I am  sure most of you remember as well. I was waiting in the parking lot  for Red Wings boots store  to open and I was listening to the radio  to pass the time.

When I heard  what happened I immediately  went home  and when I got home  the 2nd airplane hit the 2nd tower  I couldn't stop crying .  Even after 10 years   its all so fresh in my mind . Such a sad day in America .

 

Update on Jessie  Cosmetology exam  last Tuesday  She didn't pass.  We are currently waiting  for the letter to arrive  to  look over what she did or didn't do  then she will reschedule her  exam again .  I remember I passed the practical exam But had to take the  written exam a 2nd time  Looks like Jessie  will be following in moms footsteps  . Will keep you posted on what happens  next .

Speaking of Jessie  we colored her hair back to a dk brown this weekend . Looks fabulous !

This next Wednesday I will be heading out  to St George UT  for  Stampin Up! Founders Circle event .

Between Sept 14- 18th  you  will recieve  an extra FSM token  for a minmum $50.00 ( before S&H and tax ) order you place with me  when I am away .

This extra FSM token will be  applied  to (1) of your order  you place with me  between the dates mentioned above . Thank you  so much for picking me to be your  Stampin'Up! demonstrator .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

Look what Hubby gave me on our Anniversay . 24 long stem roses  sooo beautiful ~ BUT  the  yucky news is that I went to the Doctor  on  our anniversary and  found out I had pink eye . 

Doc. gave me eye drops to add for the next week  and my eyes  are doing 100 % better Praise God !!

I will share  the card I made him this upcoming week  stay tuned .

I will be posting a  logo button at  the end of  each of my blog posts  this upcoming week  that will  link you to the very 1st stop on this fun Blog hop .

WARNING :

Jessie and her friend Kayla made a video . My Sunday share video  is  of them acting like  their normal goofy selfs . BUT beware  the music  is  loud  and  it may not be your type of  music  as well . Just consider  yourself warned LOL .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends!  

Jessie  has her Practical exam set  for Sept 6th  and  when she passes that she will be able  to schedule her  Theory part of her  exam .

Last night Hubby took me out  to a  movie and  to dinner for an early Anniversary  date . Yup after 23 years he still  is my most favorite date.  

I've been working on my September  newsletter this weekend which will be sent out on Sept 1st,  and I also  got 2 videos  filmed yesterday for this upcoming week .

Praying for all of you in the path of Hurricane Irene .

Here is my Sunday share  video  for you today . Such a cute little puppy .

 

Have a Fabulous Sunday  friends !

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

I have gotten many emails on my Fabulous Potatoes that I cook on the grill . Funny thing is they are sooo easy and maybe not really that famous outside our friends and family .

I thought I would tell you what I do to make them step by step . ( not many steps though)

#1  I peel the potatoes but you don't have to . Once I peel them I slice them into a piece of Aluminium fold tear off a big enough piece so you can wrap it tightly around the potatoes ( see photo above ) .

#2 Sprinkle Morton Season Salt  ( yes this one is the best we have found )  all over the sliced potatoes

#3 Next add rings of onions  and whatever  else you like  & then add lots of Butter ( we use real butter )  .

#4 Wrap everything up tightly I start at the center and then wrap the ends up . ( see photo above )

#5 Cook on grill for about 30 mins ~ flipping at least once during those 30 mins. You can always  poke with a fork to see if they are  done .

We  love cooking everything on the grill and everything  shown on  the plate above was cooked on the grill

• Steak
• Potatoes
• Garlic cloves
• Asparagus

Friday night  we went to Lapeer Days with our friends Steve & Linda and Andrew . Had a Fabulous time... Plus we  got to ride the Harley there  which is always  GREAT!

Wowie the clown( photo above with hubby)  did Face painting  and OMG she was amazing  I wish I had snapped a picture of her work . WOWIE fits her perfectly  and she us cute as a button too .

We got an awesome mug  which I have  a couple pics of that  for you  to see .

PLUS check out the  fancy expandable hats Linda and I found . AAwwww she is sooo cute  wearing the purple one

Also this weekend we kicked off the Woodward Dream Cruise. 

Here is my Sunday share video . It's  Awesome  and I especially like the 2 BIG rough guys . I can so picture  my hubby doing  something like that LOL ~ I love everything about this video .

 Have a Fabulous Sunday friends

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

This past Tuesday Jessie offically  graduated  from Cosmetology school  with 1,500 hours ~ WOW  what an exciting day  for our little  girl !

Here is the  card I made  for Jessie  on her big day . I used her current favorite color ( Pool Party # 122924 & IN color DSP # 122384 ) and her Favorite Basic Rhinestones# 119246   for her card .

I also used the Pinking Hearts  Border punch # 117649 in Black card stock # 121045

The  main image on the card is from a Stamp set we got at convention  for us demonstrators only  ( Love that set )

The greeting on the  bottom  is from the stamp set is a Hostess ONLY  set called  Perfect Words

The inside  I used the stamp set called Word Play

• (w) 120308
• (c) 120651

with even more Basic Rhinestones :)

Jessie  wanted to make a cake for her big day to share with all her friends  so here is her cake .. Oh my goodness  she added food coloring  to each layer of her cake  to make it  look sooo amazing  when she cut into it .. Pretty  awesome !!

After  Graduation  we  took her and her best friend Kayla  out to eat at Chilli's  . What a Fabulous Day !

Jessie  is currently  waiting  to go take her  state board to get her license  which  she should find out  that date  in a couple weeks . She  has been applying to Salons  and  she  has one  salon  waiting her to come back  when she is offically licensed  YAHOO!!

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday friends !

Oh my goodness  this past week My hubby  got my bluetooth on my car hooked up to my phone .. WOW thats amazing . Have  you ever  talked to your car while driving  down the road . I mean  the person your talking to on the phone  is talking to you  through  your car speakers ? It's  sooo  freaky cool .

Then while  we were driving down the road  and my car speaks  to tell me there is road construction  ahead  in 3 miles .. Are you serious ?  The car is just amazing !

Another cool feature on my car is  when I get out there is a  little thumb pad on the door handle  where I  just  put my thumb and it locks the doors and as long as I have the remote  I just have  to  go up to the door  and  open handle  without  actually  unlocking it .

Jessie is down to her last week or so  of Cosmetology school  and  then its off to State boards . She is very excited  to get her license and start  working in a  salon .

Here is my Sunday share video for you

 

Enjoy  your  Sunday friends I will see you all again tomorrow

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

This last week Jessie  was finishing her scrapbook for her boyfriend ( Tyler ) and I made a  short video of her putting the pages together. What a silly girl  our Jessie is . Check out that video of her below  .

If you subscribe to my  blog feed  via email please click HERE to view  todays  blog post with videos.

This past Wednesday  my hubby bought me a brand new 2012 Buick LaCrosse . Jessie got in an accident with my last car close to 2 years ago.

Click HERE to see those pics  ....

 
Since hubby has been back home  from Iraq  he uses  the truck  to go to work unless  we have a good weather day and then he rides  the Harley  anywho . He thought it was  due  for me to have my own car again :)  Is he AWESOME or what ?

Click on any photo to enlarge your viewing

I  will be getting the  crome wheels  and  winter floor mats  tomorrow  which  they didn't have  at the time  since the car is  a 2012 .

The Photo above is me with Dave  who took care of us . He was  really  great  and even gave me a rose when he presented me with the keys  to my brand new car.

 
This car is sooo amazing  and has very single thing you could get on it . I think the only thing it can't do is drive itself LOL !

Here is  the Video of Jessie  acting silly  when  adding the pics to her scrapbook  and also my Sunday Share  video for you . She is  such a  cutie pie ( Well both girls are cutie pies .. Just sayin lol )  .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends !

We are  counting the days  down to the new catalog OMG  I am loving the new catalog . It is sooo seriously beautiful .  More details on the new catalog this upcoming Friday ..

Next Weekend we will be celebrating  the 4th of July out at  the lake  on the boat and  Jessie's Boyfriend  will be  staying with us  that  whole week .. Jessie's Boyfriend ( Tyler )  lives in Fort Wayne IN  met  through a mutual friend  and  they hit it off .

Speaking of Jessie she has been in my stamping  room  for the last 2 weeks every moment  she gets  free to  make a scrapbook for Tyler . Oh my goodness I must say I am very impressed with her pages~ Very cute  ..  I posted a couple pages she made  for you to see  :) I will share  the others when  she gets pictures on them ..

As she was  making her pages I dug out a old scrapbook I made about 6 years ago ( This was my 1st 8 1/2" x 11" scrapbook so don't look to close Hee! Hee! )  and I thought I would share a couple of my favorite pages  from that book  of our Jessie girl . She is sooo adorable .

The 1st page is  when she was 2 years old ..  Oh My  16 years ago my  Jessie was that little  Hard to believe :)

The next page is  of her and her friend Chelsea.  OH my goodness these  2  would take all their Barbie stuff out and line everything up and down our drive way and play for  hours and hours ..

Wow such memories . Love it !

Here is my Sunday Share video for you today ..sooo cute !

Hi Stampers :

Happy Fathers Day !

This past week Jessie  noticed her car was shaking  in the front end  of her car when she  would hit 50+ mph so we  went to have her tires balanced not once but twice  at the place we bought them Discount Tire  and still no difference, 

 We ended up going to Bakers  and even though it  costs $40.00  it  was done properly  and no more shaking in the front end . I guess you really do get what  you pay for in some cases .

Praise God !

Plus a BIG shout of  to Bakers for being so Honest.

Yesterday  I went to a baby shower  and I will share  the card I made for the soon to be new mom  tomorrow .

I am still hearing from so many of you  that my blog is not posting correctly  over the last few months  and or  the last 2 weeks. I am currently  working with Type pad  to get this issue fixed . We are in the process of elimanation. 

Thank you all for letting me know  and for your patience . I am still posting  to my blog  every day  but  for some reason  many of you are not able  to view  . 

I am so sorry.

Here is  my  Sunday share  video for you  today .. Actually I have 2 for you today  .

 

 

 

 

Have a Fabulous Fathers Day .

Hi Stampers :

Happy Sunday Friends :

I thought I would show  you  the pillow gifts I got  from Stampin'Up! on the Alaska Cruise ..

Oh my goodness  sooo Fabulous !

We got  this adorable felt  pouch  which was so awesome  to keep  everything in when we  got off the ship .

We also got  this  amazing blanket  OH my  goodness this blanket is sooo stinkin soft and notice the Stampin'Up! rubber on it .  It's sooo nice .

Me & hubby both got  Maui Jim sunglasses  which we got to pick out the style  which worked best  for  each of us . Hubby has had a pair of Maui Jims  sun glasses  for a few years now and they are  Fabulous sunglasses.

I also got the Disney Charm  as a pillow  gift on our last offical night  on the cruise  and it is just a beautiful charm .

Then I also got to go  down to the Stampin'Up! Trading post  where we would spin for prizes  and here are all the prizes  I got  each of those days

I also got ( Not shown)  a Brand new 6" x 6"  scrapbook book from the New Idea Book & Catalog ( super cute)   and  a package of the Brand  new ( 5)  In color card stock .

Last but not least we  also were given  these glasses  when we attended  a "Icebreaker"  gathering with SU!  which  hot chocolate was served in the glasses .

Last night we had my calendar swap event  and here is a pic of us  stamping .  We missed Gina & Darleen  :(

I will share all the pages we made last night with all of you  soon

Here is my Sunday Share  video for you . This is about the cuttest marriage proposal I have ever seen .. Very  clever  I must say on  his part and well thought out .

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Sunday Friends!

I thought I would share  even more photos  with you  today from Alaska . What an amazing  time we had .

We did  see  at least 2  unusual  things  while we were in Alaska .

Just  click on photos  to enlarge  your viewing .

#1  We seen this lady walking her bunny  rabbit  and yes notice the leash on the bunny  and   the bunny  was even sitting up  to have Jessie take it's photo how funny is that :)

The Lady walking her bunny  told us the Bunny's  name But  I wouldn't even  begin to try and pronounce it  let alone  spell it  for you ...But  she did say it  meant  Appetizer in Japanese. Hummm  that was kinda freaky  to say the least 

#2  While in Skagway  Alaska  we stopped into a gift store  Oh my  that gift store was amazing  and  you  will never ever guess what I found  there ( Sooo funny) 

 I am not  sure  whats  funnier  finding  pickled  toothpaste  and pickled  tooth picks  in the store or me actually   buying  them.

 
While in Ketchikan Alaska  we  rented this tiny  electric car / golf cart  sooo cute  and yes we even drove it on the main road .

Had  to snap a photo of Jessie  sitting in the back seat ..

Here are a couple more photos of Tracy Arm Fjord with the icebergs  sooo beautiful . Jessie  snapped these pictures .

Here are a couple  pics Jessie  got on her camera  of the whales we were waiting to  get on film. The closest  photos she got  were the whales  when they came to the  top to blow .

( look really close LOL )  Plus  she got    this photo of  some sea lions

Here is my Sunday share  video for you . It's so sweet

 

Have a Wonderful Sunday  Friends

See you  all tomorrow .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!
