Queen Kat on Tuesday

  What an exciting day Tuesday is.  It is my priveledge to let you all know about the wonderful stamps and goodies to be had at Queen Kat. 

   With the crisp fall air comes thoughts and plans for the holidays.  Halloween is just seven days away.  I can hardly believe it.  It is my hope that you are all having a fantastic fall.

  This adorable stamp is named "Devil Doll".  She is on sale for 31% off. So don't miss out on this stamp or any of the other fablous ones that Queen Kat has in her store front.

 Stamp Happy!

sixty one days until Christmas! With Project slide show!

  I have had such a nice day.  I am enjoying the weather as it starts to cool down and we look forward to the fall and winter holidays.

  It is hard to even conceive that Christmas is 61 short days away.  I had a very special lady step up and help with a swap I hosted on line.  It was unfortunate that during this swap we had one participant that not only didn't want to follow the rules, but frankly made the experience unpleasant for the rest of us.

  In spite (or because of) the situation, I had one lady who was determined to make this swap a success, and a success it is.  This swap will be closing in the next couple of weeks and I am so grateful that it is ending on a high note. 

  I hope you will enjoy the cheesy Christmas music.  Grab a cup of hot tea or coco, and get creative.  Stamp happy my friends, be a blessing.

Just a health update picture's of had 17 b'day celebration

Since we last visited, we decided to take Chad out for Birthday dinner a wee bit early.  He wanted to celebrate at Don Pablo's here in Laurel, MD and we where happy to accommodate.

I have to admit the food and service where not to their normal high standards. But we enjoyed a good time together.  This baby will turn 17 tomorrow.

On a side note, I went in on Oct 12, for my surgery and was released yesterday morning to come home.  I spent much of yesterday laying and trying to rest in bed.  Which was somewhat successful.  Even our three fur babies seem to notice that mommy has a sore tummy.  Mike had to go back to work yesterday so before he left he made me a 'pillow' damn to keep those puppies away from my chest.

I'm still only able to have clear fluids, my kingdom for a candy bar (darn it).  I have to wait about 4 to 6 weeks to be able to do that.  I also go to speak with a diabetes nurse who also gave me a diet for the follow up from surgery and my diabetes to help control it, loose some weight and get back go a more normal healthy lifestyle.

I would like to thank each of you for your support and loving prayers during this time. I am still very sore, in a little pain but just glad I can sit and kinda clean off my craft desk so I can stamp some this afternoon.

Stamp Happy be a blessing!

A kwel Halloween Tag -- From queen Kat

  I made this way cool halloween tag using the queen kat halloween friends from Marlon.  This adorable set of stamps comes with four pumkins and 2 sentiments. Oh, but hurry it is now on SALE.

  I stamped colored and cut out each pumpkin.  Applied glitter glue to each and allowed them to dry.  I used sizzix ghosts #2 to the tag.  They are cut from white card stock and sponged.  The tag is made using some DCSW cards stock I purchased about a  year ago.

  Do not worry about me, I may not post for several days, I am having surgery on Oct 12, and will be recovering for a few days.  I am sure I will catch you all up very soon.

  Have a great day, Stamp Happy!

Queen kat on Tueday!

Hello friends!

It's Tuesday and you all know what that means! It is time for Queen Kat! I used the new Pumpkin friends by Marlon T.

I just love the versatility of this small stamp set. I cut out the pumpkins after stamping them onto Hammer Mill 100# 98 brightness card stock. I colored them with copic markers.

After the coloring was complete, I placed them onto a layered orange base using my mono adhesive. The image was also stamped with memento tuxedo black ink.

There are so many great things to see at the Queen Kat's web site. Please go check out the wonderful stamp art.

Stamp Happy!

Holiday Planner -- snow flake mini in country colors

  I used the accucut builder album snow flake.   I dug into my bin of Christmas themed papers from Jillibean soup, Basic Grey, Doodlebug and DCSW designs. 

  I really loved atching and mixing the different papers and designs.  I used the new Christmas tree die from Sizzix. 

 Using Shrinky Dink brand plastic, I die cut the trees, colored and shrank them with a heat gun.  I embellished with stickles and glossy accents.

 To achieve the more dimensional snow look, I added some heat to the glossy accents to make it bubble up a bit, it finished off the look of the book very nicely.

  I hope you will give this project a try.  If you would like me to custom make a planner or mini for you, please let me know.  I'll be happy to quote you a price which will include shipping and handling fees. 

Please note I only ship to US Residents, and use delivery confirmation with priority mail services.

  Have a great day, stamp happy be  a blessing.

The adoption Reunion Chronicles Miracles do happen!

 

 

  Elizabeth called me late on October 2,2011 with wonderful news.  She has been searching for another set of sister nieces, Kristie and Casey for many years. 

 

  They are the children of JL Roberson who died several years because of complications with both kidney failure and heart failure.  The girls did not know that their father had passed away.

 

  I had tried to search face book, but now knowing where the girls reside at currently didn't bear any fruit.  Kristie is doing well, goes by Krissy and is living with her boy friend and 4 month old baby in Oklahoma. 

 

  When Ibbit called me tonight I thought she was going to faint.  She was so excited and thrilled she was (once again) crying.  I was thrilled, and thankful!

 

  I had promised Dorthy that I would call her back as Ibbit had "beeped" in during our conversation, when I did call to tell Dorthy the super news, she cried and said "This is my best year yet, I found my daughters, and now I've found my nieces". 

 

  I just can't believe it.  For those of you who want to call it fate, and those of you who believe that homosexuals deserve to be "Married".  Well, I'm here to tell you differently.

 
  I really don't care if my 'readership' slows down or stops because of the following statements.  I actually SUPPORT the right of homosexuals to have a CIVIL union.   

 

  It is not a marriage.  A marriage is the relationship between a man and a woman. Nothing else. On that note, yes, I think homosexuality is wrong. Just like any other sin, it is forgivable and the person in such sin can repent.

 

  As for fate, no such thing.  If you have been following my story or are joining us in this late in the game, please know that I am a FIRM believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. You can call our story, our life fate if you want, I call it a miracle.

 

  Have a great night, I will post pictures tomorrow of the second snow flake holiday planner.  I did this one in more "country" tones, and colors, it also came out very nice.

  Stamp happy and even more importantly, BE A BLESSING.  Your prayers, your actions, your faith do make a difference.
