Disney's Tea Cups

Can't you just see the devil in his eyes. Chris was getting ready to spin me silly on the Tea Cups at Disney World last week. I had to close my eyes and hold my breath ... boy can he spin. :)

It was sure hot out there but we had a great time ... Don't you just love summer??

For a special friend ....

I've created these Thank You cards for a very dear friend who is going through chemo treatments right now. They are simple but created from the heart. My prayers for full recovery and healing for Traci.

It's been so long ....

It's been so long since I've posted. The end of school was very hectic and then we started with summer vacation. Wonder Works, Disney, Magic Basketball Camp, and weekly karate have kept us busy. Next we're planning day and overnight trips around Florida.

These cards were done a couple of weeks ago.... for birthday and thinking of you cards. Hope you are all having a wonderful summer.

Coming to a close .....

After almost 180 days of school, we are close to summer vacation.  Chris has his Award Ceremony tonight.   He's worked really hard this year and done a great job.   Last night he helped present karate awards at the Elementary Awards Ceremony.   Tonight he'll shine.  We're so proud of him and the effort he's put into his academics, sports and being an 'all-around great kid'! 

Hope to take some day trips with Chris this summer ....  the beach, St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Space Coast, etc.   We hope to get to San Diego for our big trip.   It'll be great just to be able to slow down for the next couple of months and not have an intense schedule. 

Love you, Chris.  Great job.

From the Studio

I know I haven't posted in a while ... and now you've gotten three in a row. I'm just trying to 'catch up'! I created these four cards for birthdays and all-occasions. I love the simplicity ... and they don't take very long to produce, which is a good thing when you are busy. Enjoy.

More of the Studio

These are the last two photos of the studio. Behind the stacks of paper is the staircase. The open cabinet near the window has pull-out drawers and is where I keep my adhesive machines and other misc. toys!

The Studio

As promised, here are pictures of the newly organized studio.
We outfitted the 'bonus room' upstairs with wrap-around cabinets when we first moved in eight years ago. Every drawer and door hides lots of things I just can't live without. :)

I love the space .. and now that it is organized and visually appealing, I don't mind spending time up there. Rarely is the table clear ...

The tall brown drawers hold all the wooden rubber stamps and the short drawers under the open cabinets hold embellishments, organized by category.

The bulletin board holds inspiration and cards/atc's from friends and fellow stampers.
