Good morning, y’all! Hope your weekend is shaping up to be a good one – and maybe a little drier – we had some rain (again!) yesterday but once it went on thru it was lovely and cool enough to open the house back up! Yeah!
So…YouTube and I had a bit of a mis-understanding yesterday (as many of you noticed!) and…it wouldn’t post the video of the A2 Sized Fan Fold Card that I did on my Thursday video and posted here yesterday. In the course of trying to fix it and get it to do right – I managed to lose the video completely. Poof! 🤦♀️🤬
BUT – to make up – I’m going to make ANOTHER A2 Sized Fan Fold Card TONIGHT! It’s a totally different feel – using different DSP and stamp bundles. And I’ll try not to mess up the posting of it to YouTube. So…I hope you’ll be able to watch that one!
I hope you’ll c’mon over, tonight at 7pm Eastern, to my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel for this week’s Saturday Night Live! Here’s a sneaky peek:
Whatcha think? I know you know the fold but…what else can you see? 🤔
I bet you’ve got a pretty good idea but…I hope you can join me to get the WHOLE picture! Tonight. 7pm Eastern. Right here! 🙂
Hope to see everyone tonight for the video!

Looking forward to fan fold…part 2 tonight! Glad that the puppies are getting into mischief together! 🙂
Yep – they’re going to be buds, I can tell! 🙂
Does Cady have any thoughts on the cute?
She’s starting to get used to her being around but there was a lot of neck-bowing and blowing when they first met. She’s WAAY to little be a “real dog” in Cady’s eyes!! LOL!!
Hi Mary,
I started following your blog for the cards but one of my favorite parts is the parts about Finn. Now you have Addy too! What a blessing to be able to take care of the pets of our lost loved ones. I have my son’s dog and although I’m used to much smaller dogs with less shedding, I have grown to love her and see what a blessing she truly is to me. What kind of dog is Addy? Havanese?
Have a great Saturday!
Cindy Cook
Hey Cindy! I’m so happy that you have your son’s dog but…sorry that you needed to take her. She’s fortuante to still be with family. Addy is a Havanese/Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (PBGV) cross – and yes, she’s cute! :). Thank you so much, Cindy!
Cute and handsome indeed! ❤️
They’re quite the pair! 🙂
Beautiful! and more than beautiful! Love your work!
I’m back from a few weeks of rest. I needed it. Thank you for sharing all those beautiful things!
Glad you’re home – and that you had a good rest! Thank you! 🙂
