Finally Home!

Finally home and glad to be back. The picture is of Amadeus- dressed for rain- this was taken on Saturday morning before the tournament. Chattanooga got hit with a major thunderstorm and he had to borrow our friend Judy's raincoat and Australian outback hat just to get his rackets from the car. Luckily, the weather cleared up and he was able to play.

In the meantime, swap cards for the Christmas swap have been arriving. I'll start scanning and posting them tonight.

Tomorrow- watch for my crayon resist tutorial :)

We Have a WInner!

Congratulations Christine! Love the card. If you can email me privately with your address, I'll get your blog candy in the mail to you.

thanks to everyone who emailed scans to my regular email account, too. The cards are all wonderful.

Had to Brag

We'll return to our regularly scheduled stamping and scrapping this weekend. I haven't had much time to stamp at all since July arrived- between travel for work and traveling with my son- taking a moment to just brag about my child (smile), this week was the state team tennis tournament. Our team came in 3rd in the state (yippee) and my son won 47 our of 48 possible games while his friend Tyler had a perfect tournament winning every game in every match. On top of that, our team won best sportsmanship awards for the 14U in both girls and boys. I was more proud of that than our 3rd place finish. I've included a picture of Amadeus- he looks so intense!

More stamping soon....

One Word

There was a great article in our local paper about a 17 year old girl who won an International Filmmaking contest. The rules required participants to create a 30- 60 second film (I think that was it). Her issue was "One Word"- if everyone chose one positive word, how would the world change. I just couldn't resist sharing this with you.

Just Had to Share

We saw this bumper sticker in MN and I just couldn't resist sharing:
