Good morning!

Whew! Here it is Wednesday already! I had high hopes of getting SO much done this week.... LOL! The best-laid plans....! Oh, well. I did get the den finished with decorating, and cleaned well, and decorated and cleaned my corner of the hallway. So that's all good.

Today, I'm going out with my dear friend Amy and her son, George, just to spend some time with them - it's been far too long since we just did that.

I would like to ask those of you who pray to pray for my friend Jennifer and her family. Her father passed away Sunday - it seems rather sudden to me. He wasn't very old, and my heart aches for her. The memorial service is today at 2. God bless you, dear friend.

OK. So the above goodies were for a demonstrators-only swap I did. Those things can be nerve-wracking, let me tell you! It's hard not to think, "Will she think my stamping is amateur???" but she seemed to like this. :)

The tin is an altered CD tin, with a pocket inside and a notepad. It fits into *my* purse.... :) The pen tucks inside of it, and the clip can, too. They're all decorated with Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, and the Blizzard wrapping paper that was in the Holiday Mini. The little booklet is the lip balm holder that my email list received the instructions for. If you'd like to be on my list, just email me at poohisstampin@aol.com! :)

Well, I'm going to run. I have sandwiches to make for the memorial service attendees, cookies to make for an exchange, and miles to go before I rest.... :D

Have a wonderful day, dear reader! Don't forget to take the time to STAMP something - I'm going to! :D

From Melissa! :)

Good morning! I wanted to showcase a little of the talent my downline and dear friend, Melissa, shared with me. This is a thank-you card she gave me. Isn't it pretty? She clear-embossed the medallion on the front. I love the color combination; Melissa is EXTREMELY talented, and everyone who sees her cards on my Inspiration Station OOOOH and AAAAAH. Thanks, Melissa, for sharing SO much with me!! I'm so glad God brought you into my life!

I have to share: I am SO excited about next week's 10/10/10 class! I'm doing a punch theme; every card uses a punch in some way. I love them all. ;D A hint for those of you planning to come: there are two cards that have made a debut on this blog that you might be making similar. :D

Anyway. I have to go to the dentist today. :/ Just a cleaning, but it's been a while since I went for anything but trouble - so he's going to be giving me a list of what's wrong. :D At least I like him as a person. LOL!

I'm planning SO MANY classes the next few months! I'm starting to feel pressured - I've GOT to get to designing! LOL!!!! Plus I've joined a swap that's due in three weeks - but it's not too bad. Just have to come up with something I like!

Speaking of swaps: would YOU be interested in participating in a reader's swap?? If you would, please let me know! I'd LOVE to coordinate one; you are all SO talented! I love getting things from y'all. :D

SO. That's it for today! Let me know about the swap, and take time to STAMP something today!
