Stampin’ Up! Floral Wings lends Timeless Elegance to Birthday Wishes

Posted on July 20, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Well, Monday’s rolled around again – it just keeps doing that, I suppose! We spent the weekend trying to remain as OUT of the OUTside and as IN the INside (where the AC is!) as we could. It’s just miserable here. At least, it is for me. I don’t do humidity so well anymore – I’ve never liked it much, but….these days it really knocks me back.

Part of our quest for AC was to go to a movie. Have y’all seen Antman yet? We saw it in 3-D IMAX and it was super fun! Paul Rudd did a great job with the always-fun writing that you get in the Marvel movies. I’m a pretty big Marvel-movie-geek, so….I’m easily impressed. But, we enjoyed it a lot, and would give it 4 thumbs up! And – we got to see the BIG screen trailer for the Star Wars movie coming out at Christmas! Whooo-hooo!!! Can’t hardly wait for that one to come out.

Anywho – on to the card for the day (the ACTUAL reason you stopped by!). This is a pretty simple card, that combines two of the new Hostess Sets in the Annual Catalog – Floral Wings and Happy Birthday, Everyone. And it features the new Timeless Elegance DSP. Take a look-see:

One of Those Days….and a Thank You Card!

Posted on July 2, 2015 by stampsnlingers

So – if you’ve been a follower of my blog for any time at all, you know that I very recently got home from 4 ridiculously long months in California. In case you’re new here (welcome! 🙂 ) and let me just say that I wasn’t in the part of CA that you see Clint Eastwood talking about on TV. No indeed. But – I’m home now. And I’ve been taking a couple of weeks of vacation.

We live very near Atlanta. We have lots and lots of stuff to do here.

Six Flags over Georgia.

Water Parks.

Lake Alatoona, West Point Lake and Lake Lanier within an hour or two. And a nice fishing boat in the garage.

Calloway Gardens just a couple of hours south of us. And I hear the butterflies are hatching. De-robing? Un-cocooning?

Stone Mountain is close and apparently fun. Nope – never been there.

One of the best aquariums in the country – just up the road.

The Coca-Cola plant and museum – just up the same road. And it boasts the opportunity to try Coca-Cola products from all over the world. Sorry, though – until they make Diet Mountain Dew….I’m a Pepsico girl. And – other countries have some pretty……”hmm” ideas of what makes soda taste good. Just sayin’.

Bottom line? We gots lots and lots of cool, fun things to do – right here. So – what do you think we did?

Yup – you guessed it. We replaced the toilet in our master bathroom. I believe the old one is as old as the house (and it’s no young-un!) and was really ready to be replaced. Like coffee and toilet paper – there’s just some things that are life-critical. Toilets that WORK are right up there on that list (maybe for DH the entire outdoors is a valid alternative, but….not for the DW (that’s me)!). So it was necessary. But, I must say – if asked to write a one page (single spaced) essay on “What I did on summer vacation” – this would be kind of pathetic!

To top it all off – it’s been “one of those days”. You know the kind I mean? I’ve been in a completely stinkin’ mood all day. One might even say…..

No idea why or where-from the great B****-iness overcame me today – but it did. Which I’m sure added to the overall pleasantness of replacing the toilet for my DH. Oh! Did you think I meant “WE” when I said “we”? No – HE did the toilet while I supervised, read the directions (which he pretty much ignored), checked for leaks, etc. The usual.

But – it’s done now. Ready to roll. Or flow. Or….something. And I’m sure tomorrow will be much better! And hopefully the little bundle will be all gone.

Now – let’s get on with why you came here today, shall we? My card today was one I did to thank my friend in CA for all the help he gave me on this last trip. It uses the brand new Happy Birthday, Everyone stamp set, and is done in a few of the new 2015-2017 In Colors. Take a look-see:
