Bad Blogger, but the start of C-A-N-D-Y!

*****
Hello everyone;
*****
I have been a bad blogger this last week! I am so sorry!
*****
OK, want the story? Its kinda long, funny and worth the read
*****
It all started on a very rainy day here in Maryland. We had gotten nearly 3" of rain in the last 72 hours. I was bored. I had finished up my housework and felt unmotivated.
*****
So, I wandered upstairs and found some more laundry. Uum, better get this done (yes I do talk to myself at times) so I start the laundry. Go to put the clothes in my dryer and ker-plunk, its dead. This couldn't have come at a worse time.
*****
I called my hubby and told him the situation. Being the "handy" guy that he is, I decided to "allow" him to look at the dryer. How much worse than dead could he make it any how? So, he did take a look and said, well you know that new dryer you want, well looks like you need a new one.
****
I really wanted the fancy dancy ones, but not in our budget at present. So we opted to buy a re-furbished set from a local guy. He came in the pouring rain and took the old set and delivered the new ones. Super quiet and super nice, super inexpensive. *****
Four days later, I'm finally almost caught up. I see the light at the bottom of the laundry pile.
****
The top picture is my son and his friends at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We had a wonderful field trip yesterday. I think these people are seriously slicing into my social calendar!
*****
Onto the blog candy: Stamps from; Stampology (9 pieces called Mindy's Zoo 1)
Stampendeous (hey there cupcake)
Inkadinkado (97626 called Patterned bugs)
Autumn Leaves (also called Mindy's Zoo)
****
Start with this post and blog candy will run until June 15. Here is an added bonus, so please read this part.
**** If you choose to put a link to my blog on your blog I automatically put your name in the hat five times. Please EMAIL me with your blog address and name so I can go ahead and put your name in.
*****
Thank you for reading my blog and visiting my projects. I hope you all have a good evening and are truly blessed by the Lord
*****
Stamp happy!

I love those frogs. They are so cute. I wish I had a blog but I did sign up for the e-mail updates, better than nothing. Glad you got a new washer and dryer.

The same thing happened to me last fall! By the time it was installed I about kissed the delivery guy! I hope I win these yummy stamps! I am starting a card ministry at my church, so these would be great to add to the stash!!

Sometimes, the blog has to take a back burner to all the other crisis' going on in life. We understand. But I like the new cards you added and the blog candy. I so want the Mindy's Zoo set. I will share. :o) And I will gladly post to my blog as well.

Nice blog -- and naturally I love the blog candy! :D

I'm posting this comment on May 26. It took me 10 minutes to figure out which entry to post on for the candy, and I'm still unclear if you want us to post on multiple days and multiple blog entries, or just this one. I'll stay tuned for further clarification...
