Valentine's Hop... WHEN??

Hello & HAPPY Monday Everyone!
Did you all have a wonderful weekend?
Did you watch the Superbowl? 
We don't have TV so not over here! 
I managed to find other things to do anyway! LOL

My wrist still hurts but not as bad as before - YAY
I spent Sunday afternoon & evening trying to play blogger
catch up - so if I happen too miss your blog
& leaving you a comment PLEASE let me know in the
comments section - :)

I also read all the comments that were left for me - First of all
THANK YOU
for the sweet kind comments & well Wishes!!

Secondly - Pam had asked where I got my
Storage Envelopes for my stamps --
I got them from Amazon here's the Picture
of them & the link - 



They are really good quality bags - you can see through them just fine
I ordered 4 packs of 100 - but had to order another 100 pk. (go Figure)
I also purchased the larger bags for my bigger clear stamps --
Here's that link RIGHT HERE!! These are 5 5/8 x 8 1/2 and
come in a pack of 50 -- 

I'm not totally done re-organizing my stamps, but made
a HUGE dent in it - Since I already had the labels typed
& printed out - and my son cut the white cardstock for me -
We slipped them in each bag - then I labeled them as I placed the stamp
set in - I ordered some Fridge bins (6) - can only fit 8x8x6 ones on
my Book shelf that my hubby made me years ago - So 6 where not
enough - I just needed 2 more... but ordered another 6 just to have
the extras, so my collection can expand! I mean seriously - Who doesn't think my stamp collection won't expand?? LOL 😂


I don't have a project today - But wanted to share this
Blog Hop info with you -
It's this SATURDAY, February 11th

I hope you can make it!!!


Have a FABULOUS MONDAY!!!

Celebrate Balloons....

Hello & Happy Friday! I hope you guys
have wonderful plans for the weekend...
I'm hoping to play blogger catch up if I can
and work on re-organizing my stamp collection - YIKES!

I've always kept them by companies and in book binders
they're about 5" deep binders - 
but lately it's not working for me anymore, soooo
I'm gonna try what Jennifer McGuire does by placing them in 
those Avery Elle Sleeve Pockets - mine are a cheaper version of those
and are just as good as them - 😁 Found them on Amazon -
I had typed out all the stamp names
& companies on label stickers before I hurt my wrist -
So at least I got that done before I injured myself! YAY

My son is helping me to cut out white cardstock & placing them
in the sleeves - He's such a good helper! 💖 So hopefully
by the end of the weekend I'll have them all or most of them
in the sleeve pockets and in containers I purchased as well -

Hunter & I cleaned off a book shelf in my craft room which
is where I'll be storing them - Wish us luck! LOL

My wrist is doing a little better since I'm not using it
too much - so I will try to type this weekend to see how it goes
If it starts to act up... I'll stop... I promise! 😏
And maybe then I can convince Hunter to type comments out
for me.. He's rolling his eyes as he types this... so who knows! haha

Any who... Here's a simple Birthday card I got done for a staff member
at school - Using a Silhouette Store File (#132407)



I'm using the FUN Echo Park Paper Collection called (Magical Adventure)
I thought the colors went perfect for a masculine card -




Of course I dressed up the inside as well - By adding the balloons
to the inside along with stars, & a Strip of DP --

Dec. 25th Stars......

Hello & Happy Wednesday Everyone!
How's your week going so far??

Sorry I've been MIA the last few days...
I sprained my right wrist at work on Friday
& I'm having a heck of a time trying to use it.

It's not broken - it was sore to begin with - which
started Mid Dec. but while working on Friday
I went to lift something kind of heavy and I heard 
a POP then pain followed suit! - 
I worked through the pain of course
but realized when I was trying to type up my blog post for
Saturday... It hurt too much to type - My son was kind enough
to type out my blog post for me... and he's helping me right now --

So, If I haven't stopped by your blog, I'm sorry.. leaving comments
isn't so easy for me right now.... I'm trying to be good about
not getting on the computer to much so I can rest my wrist....

Hopefully that'll help... only time will tell... 

-- As I continue my 1 holiday card a week
I thought I would share this one with you --



I went a little Wink of Stella Crazy yet again! LOL
I added it to the stars & the Dec. 25th 😁
