More Valentines for the Children

Well I've been under the weather & because I've been confined to my home I decided to make more Valentines for the kids. These are very simple yet suitable for maybe some teen girls. Used IO's older Valentine set and the phrase is Flourishes. Hope to send off another 25 or so. I sent in 280 today and will keep on this until the very end. Thanks to those that have been supportive in this drive. You are appreciated.
Guess what??? My BFF Lindy went to lunch the other day with some ladies she used to work with and one is a stamper/card maker. Lindy said too bad Pat moved to Montana as you two would have gotten along great. Well her friend said.. is that Pat Adam who's daughter is Julie Koerber? Yep...what a small world this is. My BFF's friend is Rama Ready who subscribes to our blogs. Can't believe it but it's true. Hi Rama...glad you came by.
Take care fellow bloggers and happy weekend. I'm sitting by the fireside reading and just taking it easy. Have pneumonia ( or however it's spelled) and not feeling all that great. Taking a toll on this old lady but hopefully soon I'll be able to get out and about.

Here Comes Santa Claus...

Well it was a boring day in the life of the Rubbermaid so she decided to just sit with her fancy cup of coffee and stamp, stamp, stamp. Dang I was really bored! We had a dark dreary day and I felt like instead of blogging about my life I needed to get one. My friends are leaving the area and heading to the heat belt and the closest thing to heat for me, is to sit on my heating pad and dream. I know I sound bitter...well so what if I am?? My buddy Ray is heading to Atlanta and then on to California and where am I going you ask??? Nowhere that's where and so I hit the rubber to the ink and stamp. This Santa is a Flourishes set and golly do I ever love this guy. He's a big fella and requires a larger size card but he does make up so nicely. I used some walnut distress ink to get the tone I wanted and colored ever so lightly and little. My phrase is Impression Obsession and I got my paper Fancy Pants in Montana and it made for a perfectly lovely background for the fat man. Added a snipet of ribbon and I'm done. So tonight it's time for Desperate Housewives and those ladies ( and I use the phrase ever so loosely) are even more deaperate then I am. Happy new week and I'll be back too soon for words.
