Stampin Bingo! Tues, February 3 - 6:30pm

Hi all!

I'm off to the sunny land of . . . okay not so sunny land of Florida for the Stampin UP Leadership convention!  I'm a tad excited to say the least but also nervous that I'm forgetting something!!!!

Before I head out I want to share with you my cute cards for my Stampin UP Bingo on Tuesday, February 3rd.  Bingo and stamping may seem like a funny combination but trust me it's a super fun event!



 If you are free and would like to try out this event contact me as I may have room for 1-2 more!  Cost is $40 and that includes a $25 welcome gift, 11 games of bingo, 2 stamping projects, loads of prizes and a fun night out!

Cheers, 
K

Card Buffet - Little Buddy Birthday

More Card buffet samples - are you card crazy yet?

I found this card idea from Splitcoast Stampers so thank you Debra Currier the inspiration.

If you have a little girl or boy cutie in your life this one would be perfect.  Even the cute dino or armadillo in this set are sweet.



Last card to share is tomorrow and I'm excited about having this chance to make some cards myself and create with friends.


At this card buffet $1 from every card created will be donated to help purchase an FES bike for my brother in law.

Card Buffet - Four You + Kinda Eclectic

This one is my favourite!!  I hope someone else likes it at the card buffet on the weekend!  The colours are subtle, but the Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana pop against the Sahara Sand and I especially love the Something Borrowed new Designer Series paper in the Occasions Catalogue.

What a great Christmas (and New Year's break)!

Which has obviously extended longer that I would have liked :)

Sorry for the absence of blogging (and stamping) for that matter but it has been a much needed and restful break from work. Lots of family fun :)

What have I been up to? 

Before Christmas I went home to Victoria for a quick visit to see my mom and dad and help out a bit with some cooking and just good visiting time with them and my sister, Janice.  It was FABULOUS!  No kids and no schedule so it was all about coming and going whenever I felt like it. I brought them some Christmas baking treats, made a few meals for their freezer and did a bit of shopping with my sister. We chatted til way too late and had a great Chinese meal with everyone.  They often have these big dinner get togethers throughout the year but I always miss them but it was nice my dad planned one while I and a few nieces who are away at university were home for the holidays.

Once I returned home it was full on prep and wrapping for Christmas and then the usual over indulgence of food and board games.  The kids got Bumper Shots for Christmas and who knew that a 19.99 game would be such a hit.


And honestly I'm not sure where the last week has gone.  Probably watching World Junior hockey, a day of skiing and a few movies and now it's time to get ready for re-entry into school days.  Ick!

I can say I have been stamping a bit and have some great news of upcoming classes (yes, more than one) to share with you but that I will have to wait tomorrow. 

So hold on to your horses and be prepared for some new stamping ideas and classes to fill your January!

 Cheers and Happy New year to you!
