SOLD

Yep that's what it says on the real estate sign SOLD! Such a miracle in this market! Not only did we get a great price it's a cash offer! No jumping through hoops for the banks.... I just packed up my craft room! That was really hard... no stamping for 2 weeks! OMGOSH! I will have some serious withdrawals! I would take a picture of my empty room but I already packed my camera )0=   I will have a few cards for AnnaBelle stamps over the next few weeks... they're already done ! I will try and keep with all of your beautiful work... but please forgive me if I miss a few! Later my friends!

The Sweet Stop...

Good Morning!
I hope all is well with you! Are you as happy that Bin Laden is no longer a threat as I am ? Big HUGE sigh! I've decided since mother nature is so cranky and my flowers are really stunted... I will just make my own out of paper! Now mind you my flowers aren't near as fancy as some but they make me happy!

My card base is whisper white layered with old olive and flower lines dp. My flower is from AnnaBelle Stamps set Daisy Delight. My sketch is from the Sweet Stop.

My grand daughter created this card for her Mom. She did it all by herself at her house! Yep I'm a proud gma! Have a great day my friends!
