Playing Catchup

Boy Am I falling behind!  Our internet expired the day before we left Hawaii and I didn’t get to show you my last 2 gifts from Stampin’ Up!

This is a silver necklace created by a local artist in Hawaii.  It is such a thoughtful keepsake and I have worn it since.

These sarongs were delivered to [...]

Stampin’ Up Swaps- Hawaii

What a day!  I feel like we have lived through 3 full days in just one! It is only 8 pm here and my body is still on Florida time, 2:30 am.  This zone difference must take a while to get used to!  We left this morning at 7:00 am and just got back.  We’ll [...]

21 Hours later…

Matt and I are finally here in Hawaii! My Florida clock says 5:18 am but it is 11 pm here.

From Grrrr to Great: Punches

I’ve seen a lot of ideas for punch storage.   Seems like many stampers are using towel racks to hang their punches on.  It would take a lot of racks to hang all of mine and then what would I do with all the little ones I have? And would my walls get scratched up when [...]

From Grrrrr to Great: Sizzlit and Folders

Josey from CA asked me for ideas to store Sizzlets.   I had them in a little basket and since they are all the same color, they are really tough to tell apart unless you take a close look at ‘em!
I had some baseball card sleeves.  Years ago, demonstrators swapped Trading Cards at conventions.  Some rubber [...]

Aloha Package Arrived!

It’s here!  I heard that Stampin’ Up had sent out our tickets to Hawaii and FedEx just dropped them at my door!  Stampin’ Up usually has a cute way to package our tickets, tags and info – they managed to do it again this year!

Isn’t it neat?  I know, you want to see what is [...]

From Grrrr to Great: Ribbon Storage

I love ribbon…almost more than designer paper.  I love to order it and not use it, and just look at it all lined up in my ribbon holders.  Then I realize that I need to get over it, remember that life is short, it’s only ribbon and USE it! These are my Stampin’ Up Ribbon [...]
