A Card For My Friend and other important stuff

Stamp credits: Stampabilities and Stampendous

Hello! I wanted to post a card I made for my friend who had surgery yesterday. I've never met her in person, but she's my online friend, and I wanted her to know she was missed and being thought about. The horses are from Stampabilities, the crackled background is a stamp from Stampendous. The rest I did with masks and stipple brushes. I colored the horses with sharpie markers.

We didn't have any rain today! Yippee! It's hot and humid, though. Typical summertime weather in the Sunshine State. I will be on vacation (sort of) the next 2 weeks, and I'm looking forward to going to the pool with my granddaughters and getting some work done around the house. It's too expensive to go anywhere, but it will be good to not have to get up and go to work. I will have to come in a couple of days for an hour or two and write checks, but that's okay.

I am hearing a lot of "I'd like to see a newsletter". I was sure that you would want to see the techniques and news here, but I guess with a newsletter you don't have to remember to look at the blog. So I will be working on that in the near future. If you haven't already voted in the poll, please do so.

Another thing someone suggested was a Yahoo Group to share cards made with My Paper Moon / Stampsations / Moe Wubba stamps. This would be okay, except I don't have time to moderate and run a Yahoo Group. If you are interested in moderating and running a Yahoo group, I will be happy to set it up and post from time to time. If we are only using it for a photo album, there shouldn't be much work on your part. I just don't want to put something else on my plate right now if I am developing a newsletter in addition to added responsibilities at my day job. So think it over, and if you would be willing to be the moderator, let me know.

We'll talk again soon...

Happy Thursday.

Happy Thursday! Whew, have I been busy or what? I'm so sorry I haven't had time to post, but let me tell you what's been happening.

As most of you know, I work a day job to support my night job...lol. Seriously I do work a day job as an office manager/bookkeeper for my brother's automotive repair shop. Our end of the fiscal year is June 30th, so I've been busy working on end of the year stuff to get it ready for the accountant. On top of that, my brother had a stroke on July 2nd, so he's not been around to help out. And at night I have been busy pressing rubber making those wonderful little red rubber stamps we all love. So, it's been a good thing. I'm always happy when I smell that rubber smell.

Congratulations to Elise H., who contacted me after winning the stamps I was giving away. Her stamps are in the mail and I'm hoping she enjoys them. I'm hoping she will share her creations with us.

I am thinking about starting a monthly or semi-monthly newsletter. With maybe some techniques/tutorials, etc. What do you think? Would you sign up for it? Take my poll and let me know.

What have you been creating? Leave me a comment telling me what you've been working on.

I'll talk to you again soon.
