SHOEBOX Swap at Lynn's house

Oh my gosh!!! We had such an awesome time. Lynn suggested that we do a shoebox swap. This was for me, Crystal T., Michele M. Donna H & Kim, but Kim had to work. We had such an awesome time, and this was the first time the IWIA (I Want It All - club name we gave ourselves... HAHAHAHHA!), got to meet Michele. Now she's a IWIA club member!!! Instead of a democracy, you know, President, VP, etc... we decided it should be royalty. Donna is the queen. That goes without saying!! I am the court jester!! HAHAHAHH!! Go figure!

These are the wonderful cards that we made; I hope you all enjoy them as much as we had fun making them.

this one below, Lynn made as a thank you card for her birthday present. It made me cry... because of the Shar-pei. It's so gorgeous!

First Stamp Club of the season with Pam!

Friday, the 17th, was the first stamp club meeting of Pam's (http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/pamparto/about), and Donna H. was the first hostess with the mostest, and BOY when I say MOSTEST, she has it all !!!! You know that saying, she who dies with the most stamps wins? Well... quit now. Donna has it all!!!! OOOhh what I would give to spend a night in her stamp room.

Michele M., I'm SOOO sorry you didnt' make it this night. We had SOOO Much fun!!! It would have been so great if you were there, I sure did miss ya. We got there around 6pm. Ate, laughed, stamped, laughed, ate, laughed... 10pm came quick!!!

It's a Dog's Life...

Well... it's always a good night when friends get together and stamp. But it's even MORE fun when you order chinese food in and have wine coolers chilled, just a waitin' for ya!!! YUMMM!!! I don't know what got my mouth watering more... chinese food and wine coolers or stampin' with my friends!! They are both delicious!!

My friend Lynn H. has been talking about getting together and stamping some "dog themed" cards for a friend of hers. I don't have any dog stamps, but I have paper and more than happy to stamp... so FINALLY!!! We got together. Stampin' on a Mission!!!
