Stampin’ Up! Let’s Talk….Paper Pumpkin!

So here we are on Friday (yea!) and I spent my day…not card making…no, I spent my day cleaning out closets.  Most of my day.  Two closets.  And a couple of drawers.  

Why, you may ask?

Well – cuz I have company coming.  From Russia! 🙂  In less than a month.  Like…in 28 days.  He’s my Russian “son” – he lived with Wayne and me for a year as an Exchange Student back when we lived in Alabama.  He was a senior in high school and he wanted to graduate and get an American diploma.

Have I mentioned we don’t have kids?  So – there we were, with a teenage Russian kid, experiencing all the angst of his senior year in high school,  with acceptable – but not sterling! – English.  And we hadn’t had any of the lead up – we had no real experience with kids.

It was so much fun.  We went to the lake with him and tried to explain away Speedo’s on an Alabama lake!  We took him to Colorado to visit my mom at Christmas.  I ate caviar (not good!).  We rode horses together.  He helped us do a haunted hay ride at Halloween. He was “our” kid for a year.

We were sad when he left us.  But we stayed in touch…sort of…for many years.

And then came Facebook!  And a message asking if I was “Mom?”

And now, he’s jumped thru all the hoops and will be coming to stay in…28 days.

So – now I need to do some serious….SERIOUS….cleaning!

Also – the image of packed closets and rooms I’m afraid to go into haunt my dreams and wake me up.  I fear that I’m just a couple of McDonald’s wrappers from being classified a hoarder! 🙁

So that’s what I did today.  Not card make.  As happens to so many of us – “real” life frequently got between me and my hobby of making cards.

Enter…Paper Pumpkin – for when you need to create something pretty, but you don’t have the time to think it up!! 🙂

July Paper Pumpkin 1 - Stamps-N-Lingers

I pulled out my July kit…

July Paper Pumpkin 2 - Stamps-N-Lingers

…and discovered all the fixin’s to make 8 totally adorable little gift/treat boxes!

July Paper Pumpkin 3 - Stamps-N-Lingers

I only made two of them – for these little guys you’ll want to put your treats in before you close them up all the way – but I wanted you to see how cute they are!

July Paper Pumpkin 4 - Stamps-N-Lingers

    I couldn’t find a link for the video???

    DEBBIE

    • Hey Debbie – click on the picture of the video – sorry I didn’t make that more clear – I’ll update so that it’s not so confusing. Sorry! 🙁

  2. Mom

    Oh oh…

  3. Lois Ritter

    This has nothing to do with stamping or stamps —have an enjoyable time with your “son”. You are special for having him for a school year. Not having kids of your own I can imagine what it was like. Best wishes on his coming visit.

  4. Thanks very much, Lois – I appreciate it – and I’m really looking forward to him coming! 🙂
