Where does the time go?

When I came to post I realized it's been two weeks since I've posted.  Where does the time go?  I was extremely busy getting ready for my new catalog open house and BOGO sale.  I had a great turn out and it was so good to touch base with my stamping friends.  Also since I posted last Frank had his 6 year cancer check up and all is good for another year.  They have even been able to reduce his thyroid medication and it's now cheaper.  Yay!  Praise the Lord!  We are thankful for any help that comes our way when it comes to medical bills.

Here is the make and take from my open house.

This was a quick and easy card, but I thought it was very cute, if I do say so myself.  The base of the card is Tip Top Taupe.  The next layer is the Neutrals DSP in Early Espresso.  The stamp set is You've Got This and the flower was stamped in Tip Top Taupe on top of Blushing Bride.  The words were stamped in Early Espresso.  The corner of that layer was punched with a new punch that is coming out in the Holiday catalog.  You are going to love this punch.  It has three punches in one.

On Saturday Frank and I worked on making this shelving unit for storage in the basement.  Normally these tubs are stacked on top of each other and when I need something, it's usually in the bottom tub.  This is going to be so much nicer to get at things. Maybe now I can get at some of those upcyle projects I've been wanting to do.

Today I took a little time and played with My Paper Pumpkin kit for August.  This kit is so cute and so easy to make and as always you have the ink and the stamps leftover for other projects.  Would you like to get this kit?  Well you know what?  After you sign up for MPP you then have the opportunity to purchase past kits and even refills for some of the kits.  Remember you can get the first two months of MPP for 1/2 price if you sign up before September 10.  It's a great time to try MPP.  Would you like to know more?  For those who are local, I'm having a Paper Pumpkin get acquainted night on September 1 at 6:30 pm.  You will be making some MPP projects.  The cost of the class is only $5 and you will go home with some handmade items you can use.  Space is limited so sign up early.  If you want to sign up for MPP visit my SITE.  Use the code HALFOFF.  This is for first-time subscribers only.  If you have a new email and maybe you got MPP before and canceled, you would be considered a new subscriber.

Here are the projects from this months kit.  There is enough to make three of each of these.  So quick, easy and fun!

Here are the weekly deals.  They will be available until August 31 or while supplies last.

Well I guess that's all for today.  If you have any questions for me please feel free to contact me at ibecakes@yahoo.com and I will get back with you ASAP.

Blessings,
