I first heard about this group on Good Morning America yesterday. Grab your tissue cuz you'll need them! I sobbed like a baby! What a blessing!

Ink: real red, night of navy, glorious green

Yummy Stacked Stems

LOL! Not that I'm planning on eating any stems, it's just that the name of the papers I used on this card are soooooo yummy! Probably a little too wintery for this time of year. Especially here in Texas. I think I just totally made up a word - is "wintery" a real word? Maybe my favorite "Word Nerd" David Cook would know! HEEHEE! OK, that was a bit fan-girly, but COME ON! Have you heard this guy sing?!?
Back to the card ~

Rock & Roll and a Celebrity Interview

Hello all!

So apparently there was an earthquake here in south Texas this morning. Word is it happened around 4:50 am (Central) and was around 3.0 on the Richter scale. I have to say I slept right thru it. I sleep too soundly in the mornings. In fact it's a rare occasion when I hear DH's alarm. I had that problem in High School too. I can't tell you how many hurried mornings I had. God Bless Carnation Instant Breakfast!!!

Back to the earthquake business - the one we had in Hawaii October 2006 was "fun"! It was around 8 am (local) on a Saturday so it did wake us all up. No damage where we were on Oahu, but apparently there was a little damage on Maui & Hawaii (the big island).

My friend Lakendra Lewis recently interviewed May Pang. If you are unaware, May was John Lennon's girlfriend when he was killed. May has written a book about the relationship. You can find the interview here.

Oopsie!

Yes I know I've been a bad poster lately! I made a really cute card for my niece's 11th birthday on Wednesday. But you'll have to take my word for it cuz I forgot to take a picture before I dropped it off at her house.

I used Stampin Up's Birthday Whimsy stamp set (Sale-A-Bration 2008), pixie pink, green galore, and only orange, also some Diamond Stickles to give it lots of sparkle. It was a combo of these 2: Celebrate the Bliss of New Stuff
and by stinkincute

I'm hoping to hit the craft table today before I go teach art to my DD's 2nd grade class. If I do, I promise to take pictures and share!
