Stampin’ Up

Flower Shop Thank you

Guess what?  This card was chosen as a Pals Paper Arts pick of the week!  Thanks so much to the PPA design team for choosing my card!

Yeah! I’m back!!!!  I’ve been to New York City, Okoboji, and Kansas City all in the last two weeks. It’s time for me to stay home for awhile.  My puppies missed me and my gardens and stamping have been suffering.  I’ve also missed sleeping in my own bed.  There’s no place like home!

With all the fun things in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog, don’t forget to use the awesome stamps that have been around for awhile.  This flower from the Flower Shop stamp set is one of my favorites because of it’s whimsical look.  I also love that I can punch it out with the Pansy punch.

Superman did his second triathlon of the season today.  He did awesome!

They swam 1/2 mile.  These blue swim cap guys are the 40 and over men.  There were five other groups that started their swim in staggered heats.  Elite men, elite women, under 40 men, under 40 women and over 40 women.

steve-bike June 26,2016

Biked 16 miles.  Biggest obstacle was that his iPhone holder fell off his bike three times.  He lost about 5 minutes in total retrieving it.  His speed is usually at least 20 miles per hour, so his iPhone case did a great job. The screen did not break on his phone.  Needless to say he has now used Gorilla glue on the phone holder on his bike and it will never fall off again!

 

steve-run June 26,2016

Ran 3.2 miles.

There were actually a couple hundred people doing the triathlon this morning, but I noticed in most of the pictures, Superman is there by himself.  Just assume it’s because Superman is winning! 🙂  Not really, but he did do very well!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

 

We have a winner of the Envelope Punch Board…

Congratulations Vicky B of TN.  You won the Envelope Punch Board!  Please send me your address so I can mail you the Envelope Punch Board.

Thanks to everyone who entered.  Superman randomly chose the winning number!

I had Therapy Dogs today and then visited my parents.  While I was there, Mom showed me the quilt that she has made for me.  She still needs to quilt it, but the piecing is done.  I absolutely love it!  Mom has made a lot of quilts for her grandchildren, but this is the first one that she made for me.  I bought the fabric in Hawaii.  The quilt is turtles swimming in the ocean.  Thanks Mom!  I will treasure this forever!

Sorry I don’t have a card today.  I’ve had a crazy week, I can’t wait to tell you about it.

 

Blessings,

Do you ever have regrets about not purchasing something when it’s current with Stampin’ Up! and then end up paying eBay prices?  I really like the Petite Purse Bigz die which retired a few years ago.  I hosted a luncheon a couple weeks ago for my Bible Study Fellowship group (BSF) and I wanted to make a little something for them to take home. Well, I am so glad I already own it, because I checked out eBay and they are selling the Petite Purse die for $50-$70.  So this proves what I’ve always told Superman, that Stampin’ Up! is actually an amazing investment!

Here’s my table all set and ready to go!  Thanks Abby!  Yep she sets my table and makes it pretty every time we have guests at our home.  I have bright colored Fiesta dishes and Abby has fun doing different table settings with them.  Just another reason I’m going to miss Abby when she goes to college in a year.

Keegan is working on earning the “grandchild of the year” award.  He is over in Davenport for a couple days helping Superman’s parents with their technology.  Keegan is very techie and loves figuring this stuff out.  He’s helping them with their cell phones, ipad, computer and Dish TV.  The best part is he is writing instructions so they can do it after he leaves. He also helps my parents often.  Everyone needs a grandchild like Keegan.  Maybe I should “rent” him out.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
