Thanks Medical Workers
As the pandemic worsens along with the divisions in our country, I want to take a moment to thank all of the medical workers that are my heroes every single day. Thanks to the public health officials! They aren't physically in the front lines, but certainly are in the...
Missing AnnMarie
I am really missing my southern stamping friends these days; today I'm especially missing my friend AnnMarie. This lovely group of ladies welcomed me to their table a few years ago at the OnStage event in Baltimore. I was traveling on my own and they very kindly...
Celebrating Kevin Bacon
I just discovered that today is Kevin Bacon's birthday! I remember a few years ago when "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" was a fun way of approaching how people are connected to each other. This scenario is especially true in very small Vermont! I am frequently scratching...
Enjoy Summer
I just finished a week off from work, and creating this card was my last hurrah on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to create a card capturing the summer feel. We don't have palm trees here in VT, but the images definitely evoke summer. And there is something wonderful...
Fireworks?
I just heard a story on the radio about home-grown fireworks in New York City, and I saw a video online about a man who shot off fireworks in Brooklyn that went into a house and set it on fire. It sounds like things have gotten a little crazy on that front! Most of...
Bonus Days Again
This event has almost become a tradition - Bonus Days are here again! This sentence has me pondering... how long does something have to happen to qualify as a "tradition"? Surely Sale-A-Bration is a tradition because it has been happening for many years, decades even....
Snowman Season Class
I confess that I've been struggling to figure out how to offer classes while we need to practice physical distancing to protect each other (and our loved ones) from spreading COVID-19. A big part of the challenge is that Stampin' Up! doesn't allow us to provide...
So Many Thanks
Our church is worshiping exclusively online, and has been doing this since our governor issued the "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order in the middle of March. This has been an interesting technological journey, starting initially with Facebook Live, and moving to a streaming...
Bright Pick-Me-Up
This card is an In Color smorgasbord - every one of the new colors play a role in the stamping and the cardstock layers. I like how these colors all work together; they are similar in color value, so they are in balance together. This isn't always the case since In...
Coffee is Mandatory
This bundle was the very first thing that totally grabbed me when I perused the new Annual catalog. The stamp set was co-designed by Connie Stewart and a Stampin' Up! artist/designer. This was to commemorate Connie reaching $1M in sales; one of the perks when reaching...
