Thank You, Gracias, Merci

However you say it the meaning is just the same.  Today is Friday Fun Challenge once again.  I gotta tell you I so love doing these and love having an excuse to talk to my girls.  Originally the challenge was to make a thank you card for someone you wouldn’t normally thank.  After talking about we couldn’t think of anything.  Although now as I’m sitting here writing this I could have made one as a thank you to all my girls for just being my Sassy Girls.  I also thought about making one to the deer for messing up my car… this one would have been more sarcastic.

However we decided to just change the challenge to one where you make the outside & inside of the card.  Which fits in perfectly with the Moxie Fab Challenge that is up now, just in case anyone wants to play along with us.

Triple Your Pleasure!!

Triple Your Fun!! At least that was my philosophy for this Friday's Fun Challenge. Our challenge, first of all for this week was to get into the box or should I say make one well mainly anything not card like. How perfect was it when this week in the Weekly Inkling there was the tutorial on how to make a Watering Can? Plus the template that you could print out. It was super easy.
THEN... there was Inspiration Challenge where the hand decorated tiles by Xenia Taylor.

What Did You Do?

For World Card Making Day? Let's see I went out in service (translation for those of you that don't know, I went door to door talking to people about God), I went to see Fame (which was AWE-SOME), and I made 10 cards. That's right I said 10. Ok granted they were all alike but they were for a gift I was making. They were for the traveling overseer that we had visiting us this week at the Kingdom Hall. I made them 10 thank you cards and 10 monogram cards that they could use for anything plus a box they could put it all in. Here's the final product.

One Crazy Busy Weekend

I had a blast this weekend and it all started Friday night...

Friday
We had a meet & greet at Dee Jackson's house. It started out all innocent where we were just going to sit around and chitchat eat and well just be friendly. HAHAHAHA!!! You get a bunch of stampers together what do you think is going to eventually happen? You got that right, we pulled out some stamps.
We did some "pre"-playing. You see Deb, Liz, & Gerrie (well some of Lisa too) trying out & demoing the KSS stamps.

Saturday

We had about 17 people that came from the class spanning from CA, TX, IL, AL, FL & of course GA. It was so much not only getting to see people that I had met before but getting to know/meet people I hadn't met yet. On top of that it was a wonderful day of stamping & learning new techniques. A huge thanks to the wonderful ladies in the next two pictures for all they did in getting the workshop together.KSS Owner, Maria Colosimo and her best friend extraordinaire Traci.

Lisa Somerville & Dee Jackson

Us paying rapt attention so we get every little tidbit

Then we got to work. Until we stamped our poor little fingers to the bone. lol

Sunday

You would think that would be all, right? OH HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!! Lisa, Maria & Traci met up with me on Sunday for lunch and a tour of Macon so they could see the "true South". They wanted to see antebellum houses and other such Southern charms. Here are Lisa & Traci relaxing on the porch at the local Law School.I really hated to see the weekend end but I was totally exhausted. In fact, I did take a nap this day. I hope to see everyone again because I had so much fun!!

Will You Go With Me?

I know that I "promised" that I would be back with more information/pictures from my Kitchen Sink Stamp Weekend. However I have quite a bit to go through and after running with the girls all over town this morning showing them around, going to the Kingdom Hall, & then coming home for a nap...I've kinda run out of time. So how about a sneak peek?
