It's my month for stamp club so I need to get my order figured out for what I want?  I've been really enjoying our stamp club meetings.  We've learned something new everytime.  Its funny to see thing up close and personal that you may not have liked in the catalog but once seen in a project you love them.
Here is the mirror image card we made.  On glossy cardstock you run one color over half...

Oh my gosh!  This is why I love the web, I love links and finding different sites with different information.  It leads us to places we might never have known of and I for one am glad I found this information to pass along and maybe help others (including my mother who has the most beautiful handwriting but will not write in her scrapbooks because if its not perfect she tears it up)
This morning...

1.  I love my husbands name Joel, but since he's a JR he did not want a Joel III so we didn't name any of our kids after him

Joel and I went out to dinner since Zach had slept over his cousin Cameron's house and Chel and Ben were watching a movie.   When we came home I found this in my bedroom on my bed.  Have you ever seen a basket this enormous?  I don't think the pictures even begin to show the size of this thing!

I'm going to order a piece of glass for it and make it a table...

I think its safe to post this now since the luncheon is today and they are in California.  I wanted to make something special for my aunts 70th so I decided to make one of my candy bar poems.  I've made them for several years now on special occassions for both friends and family.  I usually put all the candy bars in something that pertains to the person, but since this had to travel to California...

3.  My favorite character on Grey's Anatomy was Izzie, but that was during the Denny Days - I'm not so sure about her character lately?

We went to New York City in the summer of 06 and while I've made a mini album of the trip I have a million pictures that still are not in scrapbooks!  Well maybe not quite a million, but A LOT... that's for sure.  Between the combination of 5 girls taking pictures (with my mom and Mitzi not taking any) that leaves a lot of good pictures that need to get in books.
So finally this past week I started...
