I’ll Sleep When This Week Is Over

I have no idea how I’ve been managing to get up for work this week, because I’ve been up later than I want to be every night. Mostly, of course, I’ve been working on house stuff, trying to put things away or organize or whatever. I’ve also been trying to catch up with some TV, [...]

Miscellany

Thanks to Dawn for mentioning the diet soda popsicles — I finally tried a couple, and they’re fabulous. Except no jokes on mine; maybe next time. I don’t usually go for popsicles of any type — I think it has more to do with having senstive teeth than anything, but thanks to sensitive-teeth toothpaste they [...]

Catching Up

Just a little post to catch things up from the past couple of weeks.

Dad’s home. He was in the hospital for six days before moving to a rehab facility. He was there for just over a week. He has a good amount of pain yet, but the healing is going pretty quickly, all things considered.
I [...]

Secret Sister Cards

I’ve been playing around with the new Blogger, and so far, it’s okay! I’ve never ventured into making my own templates or anything like that, so for me, this works for now.
Last summer I participated in a secret sister demonstrator exchange at the stamping forum I visit frequently. These are a couple of the cards [...]

Cards for Oldest Nephew and Brother

I know — two posts in four days! I was uploading a few photos to my Flickr account, so I figured it was as good a time as any to post about a couple of recent birthday cards I made. Who needs sleep?
First, my oldest nephew turned 13 in July.

Convention Swaps

I finally took some pictures…last weekend? It was hard getting decent light. I uploaded them a few days later, but time flies.
So, the first cardfront isn’t so great. I thought it would be a good simple demonstration card, and I liked the color combo, but it wasn’t so popular during swapping.

Gettin’ Ready for Convention

Sure, there’s the packing and buying of snacks and stuff…and I really should find a pair of actually comfortable shoes that fit the “business casual” requirement…but most of getting ready for Stampin’ Up! convention is all about making cardfronts for swapping. My upline (the person who recruited me) recommended bringing at least 100; the consensus [...]

Recent Birthday Cards

Apparently I’ve had a bit of a one-track mind when making recent birthday cards. First up, one I made in May for my friend Jessica.

Second, the one I made recently for Batgirl. I swear I’m not using any stamps from that same set for my upcoming convention swap cardfronts. But then, [...]

One Productive Weekend

Well, I’ve got to have one every now and again, but this time I’m pretty sure it was because I made myself not turn on my computer once, not even to check on my fantasy baseball teams, which was incredibly challenging.

I read an entire book. Sure, it was a short book and technically I started [...]

I’m Not Sure Anyone Still Reads This Anyway

Which is why I’ve had little motivation to post lately. I’m busy and stressed due to work stuff I can’t really post about, and otherwise, I don’t have too much going on.
I registered last week to attend the Stampin’ Up! convention in July, so I have that to look forward to, though it’s still not [...]
