Do some stamping for me since I will not have access to any of my stamping goodies for two whole weeks!

Happy Stamping!

Eek!

I haven't posted anything since Friday--I'm getting ready to travel for work for two weeks, so I have been over my head prepping for that trip, thus cutting into my time in the craft room.

I hosted Bunco at my house this past Monday, and decided to make up little party favors since this is one of my favorite holiday months. :)

The brown box and cement background don't do my display any favors, but at least it wasn't rainy outside and I was able to get a decent picture without a dark tint. ha!

Happy Halloween

This is a very clean and simple Halloween card I used with some scraps left over from another Halloween project I made. The picture has a dark tint b/c of the lighting I used to take the picture, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to wait for the sun to come up today. :)
