Groovin' with Groovy Guava

I’m up early again today to get a few hours before the day start for my children. So when the alarm went off at 5:30 I was up ate breakfast (yes, I’m one of those people that have to have breakfast) and my cup of hot tea (that’s the British part of me) then headed down to my stamp room. I did bring the laundry with me and started a load. Got this one finished before the first two interrupted me at 7:45 and I was well on my way to complete the second. Today I feel good the MOJO flow is back! Today I wanted to get going with the Groovy Guava not my favorite of the IN COLORS it need time to grow on me. Playing with Pick a Petal another new stamp set from the NEW Fall-Winter Collection 2007. The Pick a Petal set is designed to coordinate with our On Board Blossoms & Basics (page 180). You can decorate our chipboard with Designer Series paper. I’ll be doing that later today.

BB Riverboats Supporting OUR TROOPS

From the same post on our Yahoo Group another fellow Demonstrator Julie Doumont, drum roll....stepped up to the plate. On July 15 we will set sail on BB Riverboat for a fundraiser. We need donations and Julie gave me all the stuff pictured above. We still have room for more of you to join us or you can simply send a donation.

What great friends I have met through Stampin' Up! I have others that are donating and I will recognize each of them also.

Cards for The Troops

How cool is this! I posted a call for cards/card fronts to send to my son and his fellow Guardsman serving our country in Afghanistan. They don't have a Hallmark close so I'm sending them our handmade cards to send back to their loved ones. Well low and behold I get an email from a Fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator that I have never met. Today she came to my door with these beautiful cards with envelopes to send. I'm so appreciative of this gesture. When I sent her my address and directions she knew someone that lived on the main street that runs through my subdivision. Her brother and sister-in-law (I hope I got that right) live at the top of my street. Now you know "HOW COOL IS THIS?" Christina thank you very much. The cards and your kindness are greatly appreciated.

This is the Stampin' Up! "Statement of the heart" to love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments....in this we make a difference! Today Christina took this to heart.
