UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

There may be a slight delay in the delivery of the two new Mini Catalogs

I know that  a few of you have received either your Sale-a-bration Catalogs and/or your new Occasions Mini Catalogs.  Yours may come quite soon.  But some may be delayed for several weeks! Aghhhhhhhh!  So sorry for the delay!  I am not sure what happened to delay their going out.  You will be able to see them on-line, but I know that having them in your hand in SO MUCH BETTER!

I had five friends come over today and we stamped 100 trades for Leadership Training in Phoenix next week!  Did I remember to take our picture so that i could post it on the blog?  No!!!!  Bummer!  We did have a great time and I look forward to beginning the posts of the new ideas quite soon:).

                                            Please e-mail me if I can help you in any way.

Thank you for stopping by! 

Monday, January 4th: Last day to order out of the Holiday Mini!

Just a reminder that if you have your eye on anything in the Holiday Mini, please get in touch with me preferably before Monday so that I can get the order in  with plenty of time to spare.  I know that the Build-a-Bear dies will all be in the new Occasions Mini.

Hopefully you all are beginning to receive those and also the Sale-a-bration catalog!

Please e-mail me if I can help you in anyway!

Thank you for stopping by!

P.S.

I forgot to show you my new Snuggie that I got for Christmas!  I've already had it on several times to sit and read!  It is so much easier to read when you are warm, isn't it!!

Some Family Christmas Pictures

I actually started to stamp yesterday for the first time since the beginning of the month and I will begin to post again soon.  For now, I will post a few Christmas pictures while I continue to stamp and get ready to post.

Our daughter Shelly and her family, our son Brad, three of Gabe and Shelly's friends, Dave's Dad, my dad and I gathered at our home for a low key and wonderful time together for Christmas this year. I transformed the tables in my craft room to accommodate the nine of us adults.  I would love for the tables to look this nice all year long!

From back to front are Dan, Thor, Brad, and Gabriel.

Veronica, Shelly (with Jaelyn soon to arrive) and I

 

Joshua, our grandson, received his first bicycle!

Let's see.  The feet have to push the petal around!  This is a big concept for a three year old, but I am confident that he will catch on quite soon!

 

And not to be outdone, Jeremey, gets to ride around now in the cutest push car!

 

Here is Dave's dad and my dad around the table.

 

We had a special time around the table sharing things that we loved about Dave, who went to Heaven on December the 5th, and even told a few of his favorite jokes that we all knew he would be telling if he had been present!

I have had some great down time since Dave's Memorial Service on December 11th and look forward now to gearing up for Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference coming next week in Phoenix!

Blessings,

Sandy

A Sunset on Earth is a Sunrise in Heaven!

After a 6 year struggle with Alzheimer's, my  husband of 35 years  stepped into the presence of the Lord early this morning. The best gift that Dave ever gave to me is his love.  He made a place in his heart for me that I knew I always had. 

It was so obvious that Dave was experiencing the peace that comes from having a personal relationship with the Lord as he moved into Heaven.  Peace is not something that we can find, is it?  It comes as a result of knowing that we are forgiven and loved by God; from being in the journey of really getting to know God personally.

I am  grateful that Dave was willing to trust God through so much difficulty.  He was a man of great integrity and courage. He finished the race well.

I love you, and I will miss you so!

Supported by His love,

Sandy

Build-a-Bear card for twins

My card, Olga, made this card a baby shower for twin boys.

  She did such great work on it so I wanted to share her wonderful idea with you.

I didn't take the measurements of the card but it is a little oversized.

The designer paper that she used for the bears is the Pawsitively Perfect out of the Occasions Mini.

I am not doing as much stamping these days as my husbands' health is deteriorating rapidly and I am spending a lot of time with him at the Alzheimer's facility.

I'm happy to be surrounded by some very creative people and will continue sharing great ideas as they come across by "desk".

Thank you for stopping by!
