Hope you had a good weekend.  We did.  Our Hawkeyes won, the Cubs are still winning, Ryan came home from college, and I had lots of time to stamp.  I can’t show you everything I stamped, however. Have I told you “the box” arrived!  Yep, I received a free box of goodies from Stampin’ Up! that will be in the Occasions catalog in January 2017.  It’s top secret though.  I can’t even show my team members.  Abby knew I was waiting for “the box.”  When it arrived she ran and found me and helped me open it.  I think she was excited as I was!  I actually had to sign a legal document that I wouldn’t share anything that was in the box, so please don’t even ask… In November after our convention in Kansas City, I will show you all the pictures of everything I made.  I need to make ten different projects so if I say I’m stamping but you don’t see any evidence, you’ll just know I’m working with the cool toys in “the box.”  Needless to say the Occasions 2017 catalog is going to be awesome!

I also had time to paint the foundation on two sides of my house today.  Our home went from gray to taupe in 2009, but suddenly this weekend I decided it was time to paint the foundation.  Actually, we ripped out our 30 year old bushes this summer so I can now see the foundation that doesn’t match.  I have one more side to complete.  When I was painting I also noticed the door from the garage to the backyard is also gray.  Not sure why I hadn’t noticed that before now.  It’s on the list!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Did you know the Super Bowl is happening in Iowa today?  Yep, every year when two of our state schools play each other in football almost everyone in the state becomes a football fan or at least enjoys tailgate food and a get together.  Our church even had a tailgate party after church tonight so people could fellowship and watch the game on the big screen.  We stayed and chatted with some friends and then came home so Superman could whip up some guacamole and pineapple brats.  Steve and I graduated from Iowa, Abby is probably going to Iowa next fall.  Sean graduated from Iowa State (ISU), Ryan is a junior at ISU and Keegan plans to go there.  So we have three Iowa fans and three Iowa State fans.

The decorations below belong to my stamping friend and team mate, Linda.  She has a daughter at Iowa and son at ISU.  I need to get with it and get some “house divided” decorations for our Iowa Superbowl.  Go Hawkeyes!
