So Much News...

Hello stampers.  I do have so much to share.  First off...a new laptop so hopefully I can log on a bit more frequently and not have everything freeze up!!!  Yipee...now I just have to figure out the software since it's a bit different than our old.  Oh well...I won't give it back :)  What a good surprise from my hubby on our trip to town.  Now, the second surprise is I have purchased a new camera for myself as well.  Now, that also means new software which I'm having an even more difficult time trying to get sorted out...can you tell I'm not very computer savvy?  Anyhow, I think now that Christmas in July is over I'll have some time to play and get things figured out.

Speaking of Christmas in July...our cardmaking day was just so much fun and I believe everyone had a really relaxed time stamping away.  I will post a group photo of those that were able to attend on the day.  There were quite a few who couldn't come on the day , but ordered a kit, so I'll be planning a get together later in the year so everyone can get their projects stamped.  I still have a couple kits left if anyone would like to join us then (probably sometime in October).  Just let me know.

Today was a wonderful day with my afternoon stamp group.  Gotta love those girlies.  We sure had some chit chat and some laughs going on.  Zachie thinks they are the best and he loves "his girls"...probably their great goodies/treats they bring not to mention their love and attention!!!  Thanks for another fun day ladies.

Now, I promised that we would give away some blog candy...the winner chosen by the evening stamp group was Anita.  Thanks for those who shared a tip on organizing their stamping supplies.  Seems like the key is ORGANIZATION, thinking outside the box for storage solutions and labeling.  For sharing everyone will get a little thanks in the mail so watch for a small goodie to arrive soon.  Anita will get those items pictured PLUS for her mystery gift I'm giving her a retired hostess stamp set from last year.  Way to go.

All right stampers...I'm a bit tired this evening as I've been up since 2:30 so I could watch the Michael Jackson memorial (yes, I know ...another hidden secret).  I grew up with him and remember my babysitter bringing over the Jackson 5 record (GASP) to play.  How time flies (he he).  Needless to say it's been a loooonnnnggg day and tomorrow will be busier.  Hugs to all of you.

Happy stamping.  Pam

Hi, Pam,
Great article on the Christmas in July......Glad to hear that you too are a fan of Michael Jackson, but then again it would be easier to say show me someone who doesnt like the music.
Thanks again
Anita

Hi Pam

Glad you're back, hope the new technology doesn't let you down this time .... it was definitely sad about Michael Jackson. I am not a fan, but his death has made me realise just how talented he was and how widely known his music had become. Whether you liked him or not, you have to take your hat off to him. :o)
