WARNING: (Another Long Post) :o)

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful

Valentine's Day Yesterday! Well...

I barely made it back home to get to

my son's school for his party! But I made it!

We decided to have a Valentine's Day

Breakfast and left early enough to eat

and head to do our taxes.. Well, We got there early...

and I warned the hubby they won't take us early

and guess what? I was RIGHT! LOL

In fact we ended up waiting 45 minutes before 

our tax gal took us! Then I had to run to the store and

get a couple of items and home we went...

Showed up at 1:55pm got all the things I needed

for the class party and the kids loved it! :o) They thought

the arrows were cool and the bingo game was great

and I gave it to the teacher afterward and told her to keep it

for herself or for another teacher to use... I mean

I laminated it so it should last a long time! :o)

I also forgot to mention that I had told you on Thursday

that I need to make 24 "Hello" cards for the MIL...

Well I got only about 14 done over the weekend...

 and when I was making the arrow pieces I HAD to

use my Gypsy....  Now you all have heard me say

 it's not my favorite tool... I had to use it because I let a friend

borrow my Sweethearts cartridge and she hasn't return

it just yet.... so luckily I have it linked to my

gypsy... well I was having difficulty with using that

darn thing and I did eventually get my pieces cut...

but then I realized I had asked for the Gypsy 

A-Z DVD by Above Rubies Studio for Christmas 

and I did get it and thought....Hummm

maybe I should take a look at this thing!

Well after some time watching the

video I learned a few things about my Gypsy I didn't know...

Sooo then I spent a little time

creating some things in it and felt a

little better about owning this thing!

Now I'm not in LOVE with it yet... but

I'm starting to have a fondness for it! tehehehe...

I showed my hubby what

I had learned from the video that I didn't know

and he said he was glad to see I'm at least trying to use it....

Sooo there is still hope for me yet! LOL

Now today I need to make some type of

snack for tonight cause I'm having a

Stampin' Up Party... You all know

How much I LOVE Stampin' Up...

And I still have to make 16 cards

by Thursday for my card swap... and

I still have 10 more cards to make for my MIL!

Soooo I have a lot of work ahead of me still....

Heck I'm just tired after reading all of this myself! hehehe

Here's a card for ya! :o)

Everything is Stampin' Up

Cartridges - Lacey Labels (Frame)

#50 Cut @ 5" with Shadow

Heritage (Tree) Cut @ 3 1/2"

Well.... I think I've rambled on

long enough for the past 2 days... :o)

I thank you for reading my silly posts

and coming here to look at my cards!

I'll be back tomorrow and I hope to

see ya here! Have an AWESOME DAY!!!
