As a design team member for Addicted to Stamps we are doing a project by creating a sympathy card to send to Baby Alex's Family. It is a very sad story and it touch our hearts to send some comforting words with our cards to the Family.

Here is an article concerning this terrible tragedy.

My deepest condolence and heart felt prayers goes out to the Family.

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SHOPPING~

Hello Friends!!!

I hope all of you had a very wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent Thanksgiving with some of my Family. It was a very relaxing and awesome Thanksgiving day for me. We had lots of yummy food and desserts. My personal favorite this year was the delicious homemade Sweet Potato pie. I wish I had a piece right now. LOL!!

I didn't go out for any Black Friday Shopping but I did go out today and picked up some scrappy goodness. Michael's had a great sale but sadly I missed out on getting the paper pads for $9.99 but managed to still get it for 40% off so not too bad.





I am in love with the new Recollection designer papers. I picked up these two paper pads for $11.99 each. I absolutely adore the
Le Ballet papers a lot as they remind me of the Nutcracker.

I finally jumped on the SMASH book bandwagon and picked up this lovely Pink SMASH book. I got to use a 50% coupon on it. WOO HOO!!! I'm soooo thrilled to have my very first authentic K&CO SMASH book. The designer papers are soooo pretty.

Onto more pics:



K&CO Pink Smash book.


Some smash goodness. :)


I'm still building my Christmas stamp collection
up so I found these at Michaels.


The Studio G stamps I picked up at Walmart for .97¢ each and the cute Rudolph the Reindeer stamps I found at Joann.


Lots of Studio G bling I picked up at Walmart for .97¢ each.


Studio G glitter glues also from Walmart for .97¢ each.


I worked on these decos over the weekend.
I received these decos from No1Sassygrl & Twistedfae.
I'll be passing these along to Jacqueline.

Now it's time to get into the spirit of Christmas. YAY!!!

UPCOMING BLOG HOP~

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Just stopping in to say Hello!!! I've been sick the past 3 days. *SIGH* I just returned to work today. I'm feeling much better but still have a cough and my voice sounds horrible. It doesn't help when my job is to take calls all day. LOL!!! I'm drinking lots of water and hot tea so I can get rid of this cold.

On Friday I had the day off so I went to the salon to get my hair done. Here is a pic of my new do. I really love it. What do you think?

I also got a little pampering by getting an hour body massage. It was sooooo relaxing. I can't wait to go again.

Since I've been sick I didn't get around to doing a lot of crafting except I did make a few tags on Saturday when I met up with my friends. I will post those later.

Well until next time...Tootles. :)

FOR THE LOVE OF STATIONERY~

On Sunday afternoon I met up with my dear friend Iris. We went to the Nail salon to get a mani-pedi and did some shopping too. We were on the hunt for some deals on craft supplies (scrapbook paper pads, stamps, embellishments, & such). I heard that Marshall's carry scrapbook goodies at 40%-50% off so we had to take a gander. Instead of scrapbook goodies because it was already well picked over I found a bunch of beautiful elegant notecards with matching envelopes by The Gifted Line. I felt like I hit the jackpot because one can never have too many stationery. LOL!!! This is what I purchased:



Each notecard set come with these detailed printed envelopes & a gorgeous decorative keepsake box. These pics don't do justice as it doesn't show all the gorgeous foil detail each notecard entails.







I brought these with me today so I can start working on some letters. I also decided to go back to pick up a few more designs for a gift. I just couldn't help myself. LOL!!! They are just too beautiful not to share.
