Sam The Man!

So, if you've noticed, I haven't done a whole lot on the blog for quite some time, so as of now, I am going to be better at posting cards and projects that I am working on. I haven't had a whole lot of time to craft as I've been sharing my craft room with somebody and it hasn't been too much fun. Well, the someone I was was sharing with is fun, but the sharing wasn't. And it's not to say I haven't made anything, but I haven't made much and it has been last minute and no time for photos, much less actually posting on my blog! So, with the new year comes those wonderful resolutions! Mine is to actually post on my blog! That's easier than losing weight, right? :) So, for today's post I am going to introduce you to my excuse for not crafting and blogging! Meet Sam! He's 8 months old now and just a ton of fun! He's starting to crawl (sort of) and is just a happy happy baby! I'm sure I'll be posting a bit about him here and there, but this is my stamping blog, so I'll try to stick to that. :) And please disregard the basket of clothes in the back, although that does prove I'm doing the laundry! hahaha :) Thanks for looking and I'll see you soon!

Puerto Vallarta

I should just put Playa Fiesta as the title because I did not see much of Puerto Vallarta! My friend and her husband, well my friendS, own a boutique wedding hotel in Puerto Vallarta. For the last weekend of the season one of their close friends had her 40th birthday party and I was lucky enough to attend. It was a short trip, only 3 nights but they were wonderful nights! I miss my friend dearly and was so happy to spend any amount of time with her. Thank you Lindsay and Adam for being such gracious hosts. I love you! The photos are of Lindsay (tall brunette), Teanna (Cocoa Queen) and me (blond). We had so much fun lounging by the pool, drinking cervesas and dancing the night away for Maura's 40th. Happy Birthday Maura!

Anniversary Card

Monday was my 1 year anniversary and I wanted to make a fabulous card for my husband. My favorite new set is "Always" and I have been dying to use real red and bashful blue together so I got my stamp set, card stock and stampin' pads out and ready to go. I didn't really have

any ideas when I started working, but I knew I wanted a photo and the red sash on my dress worked out really well with my color scheme. I really like the way everything came together and was proud to give my hubby his card! Happy Anniversary Baby!

New Toy

Nope, this post has nothing to do with stamping, crocheting or crafting in any way. It's quite the opposite and something that has been keeping from my crafting room (spare room if you ask my husband). :) But, we got a new tent trailer and took it out for the first time this week! We have been wanting one for some time and searched endlessy on craigslist and the want ads and finally gave up and bought a brand new one!!!! We absolute LOVE it! We had a great time camping, hiking and fishing (my husband did at least) over the weekend and are ready to go out again, at least when the weather clears up!

Hoarding

So, I have noticed that I like to buy fun, pretty, fancy, neat, cool things; but I don't want to use them! I want to save them for something but what? I have no idea what I am saving them for because I buy them so I can use them. But everytime I go to use one of my "unique" items (that I could actually buy again) I hesitate and find a really good reason NOT to use it! Is it too late for a New Year's Resolution? There's always next year........

Beginning......beginner......

So, I am beginning alot of things these days, first I have started stamping and card making and I LOVE LOVE LOVE (to quote Oprah) it! Now, I find that all the stampers/card makers/scrappers all have blogs and figured I would jump right in and start that too! I don't really know what I am doing on either one, but I know I am going to have a lot of fun figuring it out! Wish me luck!!!!
