Get well cards #1

Hi Stampers :

Happy Wednesday Friends !

I thought I would share a few cards  that I have recieved from so many of you .

Today's cards came from:

• Cindy Elam
• Rita Santos
• France Martin
  

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart !

Over the next week or so I will be sharing them with you.

Tomorrow I will be sharing  with you the 2nd card we made at my stampers club  night last month  .

The crazy thing is I was going to do a video on that card for you but since tomorrow is Valentines Day  and I  won't be going downstairs  before then

so.... I will do  the same video  but change things  up a bit  when I am able to go downstairs .

Great news my PT girl says we will probably be  working on stairs next week if all goes as planned YAHOO! :) .

Tomorrow I will be getting the staples removed ... I would really appreciate your prayers  around 11:30 am tomorrow  that the process  goes quickly and  without to much discomfort .  After all I have been through I am assuming the staple removal should be a breeze ~ I am trying positive :).

TMI ?  My hubby has been so amazing through all this . You know it is LOVE when for the last 13 days I lay around in my PJ's/underwear with my leg proped up no make up and not feeling very pretty  and he says to me ....Baby  You're HOT ! He's so awesome ! 

Side Note :My photo editing program is on my main computer downstairs  so the photos are not the best  and I am not  sure how to add the watermark for your name to your card ( I hope to fix them  when things get back to normal )

Thank you all again for your prayers  and well wishes 

I love you all !

Until later ... Happy Stampin!

Dawn's Sunday Share 1-29-2012

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!

Fun stampin time with Gina ...

2 Fridays ago   I met up   with my  bestest gal Gina  and had  a fun time  stampin  chatting and eating Subway .. YUMMY!!  we put together  a few of her stamp sets ..  which were  die cut  sets from  the mini YIPPEE! so  that made it very easy .  I did  stamp  1 card with my  new FREE set from SU!  and  then  colored in 6 cards  for Christmas .  We then  brain stormed  on  her Turkey card ( below )  Just love those Big googlie eyes .. Then it was time for lunch  ( Subway of course )  which  was  close by  thank goodness .. Since we  didn't  want to take  away to much of our time together.. Friday with Gina was alot of fun just the 2 of us  stampin and hanging out .

Have a fabulous day girls ..

Until tomorrow.... Happy Stampin!!
