Marcelyn Monday

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter.  She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.

Stampin Up purse made by Marcelyn Churchill. Please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com if you'd like to know how she made the purses.

This is a purse Marcelyn made out of cardstock and Designer Series Paper (DSP).  It would make a wonderful gift, to give this purse filled with regular full size cards.

Marcelyn made lots of unique purses and everyone who attended the morning session of our Stampapooloza stamp camp received a purse. They all loved them!

A few weeks ago, all the McCullough clan went to South Dakota to celebrate Harold and Ruby’s 60th wedding anniversary.  They spent their honeymoon at Mount Rushmore and had many vacations there over the years.  Harold and Ruby have four sons, four daughter-in-laws and thirteen grandkids ranging in age from 14-28.

Here’s Steve with his Mom.  We spent lots of time playing cards and having fun together.  17 of the 23 were able to make it.  Some of the grandkids live too far away or couldn’t get off work.

It was rainy and chilly most of the week.  The last day before we went home, Steve and I were able to get on our bikes for the first time and did two different bike trails.  It is so beautiful in South Dakota.

Then later that afternoon we hiked to a waterfall.

We went back to the cabin to get Michelle, Matt, Rachel, Gracie and Bill and headed out for a two hour trail ride.  Galloping was involved.   By the end of the day we had had all the fun Steve could think of and I was exhausted!  Hopefully our next vacation will be better weather and we won’t have to squeeze all the physical activities into one day.  My life would be so boring without Steve.  Did you notice the costume changes? The kids and I used to tease Steve because he likes to “dress the part.”  On beach vacations he’s Scuba Steve.  In Alaska, he was Red Neck Steve and when we went to a Dude Ranch, he was Cowboy Steve.  Well, as you can see, now I join him and “dress the part” as well. 🙂 I’d love to hear your favorite vacation stories.

Seeing this huge Buffalo walk by our car in Custer State Park, was one of my highlights of the trip!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Happy 4th of July to those in the USA!  My sweet Abby spent hours making a special lemon cake for our family 4th of July celebration.

4th of July lemon cake with "sparklers"(made from melted Jolly Ranchers), baked by Abby McCullough.

I must admit cake is usually not my favorite treat, but this truly was the best cake I’ve ever had! Grandpa and Grandma were quick to take additional cake home with them when they left.

Sean and Keegan were pretty sad they weren’t here, when the texts started going out about the cake they were missing.  Sean lives and works in Seattle. Although he comes home for many holidays, he can’t come for all of them.  Keegan is working as a counselor at our church camp in Okoboji and having an awesome summer!  Keegan grew up going to Family Bible Camp every year of his life and now gets to help other families have the same wonderful experience.  The families who have Keegan as their counselor never lack having someone to push their kids on the tire swing. 🙂

Have you heard about the ultimate bundle special this month?  You can choose $125 in products for $99, pay no shipping and choose one “family” (set of 10 ink pads) for free. Yep, almost $200 for $99.  After that you can buy Stampin’ Up at a 20 discount for several months.  There is no further obligation.  You can have fun on my Stamping Mom Joy team and continue to buy at a discount or stop at anytime.  Another happy person bought the ultimate bundle from me today and can’t believe what a good deal it was.  There are no strings attached.  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll help you.  Can’t wait to hear from you!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
