One potato, two potato, three potato, four!

I was going out of town Thursday afternoon, when I suddenly remembered to check the mail.  What do I see, but a gold envelope!  I thought....hmmmm....I don't think I'm expecting any Stampin' UP products...what could it be?  I open it up and I was so excited!!  My good friend, Mary, sent me two of these adorable baked potato bags!!  They are soooo cute!  I felt so honored and excited, I just had to share them with you!  Check out Mary's blog, Mary's Craft Room, for more information on these!  Thank you so much, Mary! 

How sweet of you!

I would like to thank Debbi at http://debbisdesign.blogspot.com/ 
for honoring me with the Sunshine Award and the Trendy Blog Award!
Thank you so much for thinking of me!  Visit Debbi's blog for some fun designs!

Thanks for the kudos, Sherrill Graff

Sherrill Graff featured some of my cards on her lovely blog, Late Night Stampers.  Click on logo above to visit her site.  I just wanted to take a second to recognize her and tell her thank you!  I can't really take the credit for the cards since the design inspiration came from other talented stampers, so I also wanted to thank Jackie Topa, Gretchen Barron, Kim Score and Bunny67 (SCS name) for their wonderful ideas!

July Club Projects

Here are the projects we'll be making at July's Club Meeting.  I did two more simple/quick ones because the Tropical Party one might take awhile.  I'm not sure, but these things are awfully busy looking to me now that I see them on my site, LOL!  The tropical party one is so pretty in real life!

Design inspiration credits to fellow Split Coasters: Bunny67 for the Tropical Party and Ambouth for the Pendant Notes.  Thanks for the inspiration and your talents!

Busy, busy, busy....

I promise you, I really am getting around to drawing the names of the winners for the Open House Door Prizes.  I was so busy getting ready for the open house, I've been cramming trying to get ready for stamp club(s) tomorrow and Weds!  I still have one more project to come up with!  So, I will get there, I promise you....just a matter of time!  Thanks for understanding!  :)
