Christmas in March!

Well my mail finally arrived a few days ago, here is what the post office "said" they returned to sender...
1. Onstage from SU
2. Stampin' Success from SU
3. Creating Keepsakes
4. Better Homes and Gardens
5. A wish rak with 29 quarter sheets from Ducki
6. A card from my rubber buddy Toni
7-9. THREE cards from my Divine Secret Sister Cherie (I know her name now)
10. A card from my Dabblin' Demo Secret Sister (will know her name in May)
11. A PACKAGE from my DDSS with 6 tea lights, 2 pairs of cute valetine socks, a frog card, and an adorable mailbox tin.
12. And of course Paul's PC magazine.....and the trusty bills, coupons and credit card applications.
I was so upset when they said that they returned it but when it arrived all at the same time it was better than Christmas! Well Merry Christmas everyone!!!

My first WISH RAK card....

Made this card from a wish rak I received. This was for a birthday boy in my class out in Texas. I am trying to add more patterned paper to my cards. This was actaully the only card I made while on vacation. Class took up most of my time. Granted some wishes while I was there on the night stand though!

I'm going Postal!

Alright, I went to Texas for some training about 17 days or so. I am excited to return because well it is nice to sleep in your own bed and use your own shower. But also because I love getting mail and I had been going through withdrawls for 17 days! I receive three magazines that I have been seeing on the shelf and telling myself not to buy them because they are waiting for me. I am also a part of two secret sister rounds, wish rak and the club everyone wants out of the good ole' bills. Anyway I go to the mailbox and hope to see tons of stuff, but what do I get a PINK SLIP that says your mailbox was too full and all of your mail will be returned to sender....where is the date oh right, just my luck YESTERDAY! I am so upset. I call and they have nothing. My question is why couldn't my trusty mailman leave a little something in the box instead of a measly pink slip. So here is where the blonde roots come shining through...I thought it was 30 days or longer that the PO needed to be notified. Well it is 10 I was WAY off. Also do any of you know if you can contact the magazines to have it resent or do you pay the postage. I have never had this happen, there must be someone out there that has experienced this! Thanks again ladies you rock!

Green Galore!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I am wrapped in a green blanket here at the computer. So I am safe. School is over, I bearly passed the last test. I wish it was on stamping I would have aced it! We are now in Houston staying with my Father in Law. He bought me my first pair of Cowboy boots yesterday- they are really nice. They are the most expensive shoes I own! He told me a story of a lady at the rodeo that told her husband to slow down when they were walking because she had a bad toe- he simply laughed and thought- you don't have a bad toe you have bad shoes! I thought that was so true. Well since we have been here I have enjoyed great seafood, Beyonce, Dierks Bently, good ole' rodeo, good company, and my new boots. More to come though, tonight we will see Brooks and Dunn tomorrow ZZtop and next week we are headed to Victoria Texas to visit his Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Should be filled with fishing food and more fun. Looking forward to stamping though, just a few more days of my little excursion!

Miss you guys!

This message is to my stamping friends...
I miss you ladies! I am looking forward to getting down and inky when I return. Things are pretty boring here as far as school goes. Although we had a blast this weekend. Paul came up to get me from Houston and we visited Fort Worth to see The Wreckers at Billy Bob's the largest Honky Tonk bar in the world (they have live bullriding inside). And guess who made a guest appearance?? Kelly Clarkson! Pretty cool. We also we went with a few guys from my class to 6 Flags- AWESOME. I rode a few rides and screamed like a little girl, so did Paul and the other guys for that matter. Fun, fun, fun so far. As always I'd rather be stamping!
