New Look for October
While browsing through Karyns blog I noticed a little banner so I clicked on it...and found a real cool spot to get free backgrounds for my BLOG....so as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month....I thought this was fitting for a background...is it too much? let me know...

Time Flies!
Okay it has been two days since I posted and I refuse to make it three....lol...we were busy on Sunday and Monday after work, putting the finishing touches on our kitchen makeover....have you ever had an idea in your head of what a certain room should look like....well I sure did...so we went ahead with my ideas and now I am not too sure if we were able to capture what I was wanting.....oh well....I think that now that the room is painted, new floors are down....trim is up and blinds are in place...there are two things still wrong....my kitchen table does not fit my theme and my cupboards really look shabby....I can probably talk Cowboy into a new table or at least a different one...as for the cupboards...not gonna happen in this life time......or at least that is what he told me last night...when I gently suggested it.....better yet his answer was I think you spent your new cupboard budget on rubber stamps....that are still sitting in the boxes that they were delivered in.....(oh crap he noticed....)
So now that I have completed my home renovations with the exception of the infamous stamp room.....our daughter and son-in-law have purchased their first home....and they have asked us to help them do some minor painting jobs and help them lay some new floors....how can you say no......so for the next week or so my afternoons and evenings will be spent in the company of my daughter and sil while we get their home ready for occupancy...this is a bitter sweet time for me...these kids have worked hard to save for this home.....while living on the homestead with us in the old house that is here....I have always had my granddaughter Julie here with me...she has always spent hours with Cowboy and I each day...and now that her little sister is able to walk...she too is here each day for a visit or two...I am going to miss this so much.....
Okay on to todays card:
As my daughter are growing older, getting married and having children, so are all of their friends....I made these two cards to have on hand for baby showers....well wouldn't you know it....both of my daughters friends that were expecting had baby girls this past month....so I used the cards...I am going to make a few more...maybe for boys....lol...this is for my friend Wendy whose daughter is expecting, they have two little girls and are so badly wanting a boy.....maybe I have started some thing....lol....well that is all for today people....have a good one....

World Card Making Day!
Okay so I got up early to make a card for today....I got it done and loaded to the computer and it looks terrible...lol...the card itself looks good in real life...I get so frustrated with programs used to make these cards look good....the card really is not bigger at the top then the bottom....lol...and ribbon well that is another post all in itself..how can one person own so much ribbon and never have the color that you need...lol...or even an embellishment that will match....all supplies today are from Stampin' Up with the exception of the baubles they are from www.stampingbella.com...it is a true fall morning here, with frost on the pumpkins...we are going to tackle the renovation in the last room of the house that needs them and that is the kitchen...a little painting, some new floors and some new touches to the lighting and room decor and I think I will be done....then the big one will start...the reorganizing, painting and floors in my stamp room...woohoo...I can hardly wait.....I will take some before and after pictures of this...lol

Same Thing Only Different!
Well today I have not one but two cards to share with you....I needed to make a blue and purple card for a swap I am in.....so I set off to make two of the same cards one to send and one to keep for just in case....not sure why I keep all these cards...they are starting to take over my life....lol...I completed the first card and got tired of making it so I did not make it's match....I looked at my list of cards that I needed to make and noticed I also was in need of a card made with a "Bella" stamp.....hmmm went my little mind....I can use these papers to make a "Bella" card....so hence the post of the Same Only Different....I am waiting for my camera to download the pictures onto the computer....it is frustrating for me as I have a wonderful camera....but it takes forever to download the pictures onto the laptop...not sure why....okay here it is 12 hours later and I am finally getting this post done...good thing is...it is still Friday.....supplies used for the cards are listed under this.....
Stamps - Reindeer (Inkadinkadoo), Snowbunny (Bella Stamp), swiss dots embossing folder, two edge punches from Martha Stewart, cards stock and ink from Stampin' Up, patterned paper is some I got from My Favorite Things....bling, and pearls were some I had in my stash....

Wanted!
Well there are a lot of things I want...lol...but that is not what this post is about...I am actually going to post a card....and it was made with the set "Wanted" from Stampin' Up....all products used to make this card are from Stampin' Up....
You can sure tell fall is here, the mornings are cool, the tree's are all changing and loosing their leaves...I find that I really start stamping more once fall arrives...I am not sure if it is because winter is just around the corner...and I stamp a lot in winter to help pass the time...it does get really cold here....but for today the sun is shining and the wind in not blowing....so for that I am ever grateful.
I choose this card to put on the BLOG today as I think it shows what a true prairie horse is like...free to wonder....the sun setting here really does look that big....lol...
It is getting easier to BLOG....I am not sure if anyone other then Karyn reads it or not...but that is alright....anyway on to more stamping for me today....later gators!
