Thank you!

Hi stampers!  Sorry I've been quiet!  I'm still not caught up from my two weeks of travel and I'm way behind on my swaps and other projects I have to get done both stamping (I have some fun and exciting things to share soon) and otherwise before convention which is...EEEK....only a week away!  So, I haven't had much time to stamp for fun and show you what I made! Which is really a shame since I got a HUGE box of goodies last week from the upcoming Holiday Seasonal Catalog!!!!

 I'm also getting closer to FINALLY being able to reveal my stamp studio.  It's been a long time in the works, I know!  But with a recent trip to Ikea it's getting there.  My wonderful hubby put together my new stuff today.  Now, I just need a bookshelf or two and I'll be all set!  I couldn't get them last time because my SUV wasn't long enough for them, ha!  I've had a few questions about it and just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten....I'm just slow:-)

And finally I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads my blog and or leaves me comments here or on Splitcoast or emails me!  I read every message/comment I get and they truly make my day:-)  Stamping is fun but the stampers are the best part of this hobby!  And thank you all for the kind comments about the Artisan Award contest!  I really appreciated all of your congratulations even though I STILL can't believe I made it and I'm in a group of such amazing artists!  And now we are doing a swap with each other and with SHELLIE!  OMG!!!  The founder of SU!  No pressure there, right?  LOL!  It's a bit over a week away and I STILL have no clue what I'm going to make, eek!!!!!

Anyway, I didn't stamp much last week as I was tired most of the time but I did manage to get this one done so here is my thank you to all of you!

Stamps:  Blooming with kindness, perfectly penned
Paper:  Very vanilla, summer starfruit, midnight muse, first edition DSP
Ink:  Summer starfruit, midnight muse
Accessories:  Apothecary accents framelits, midnight muse stitched satin ribbon, faceted vintage buttons, linen thread

I really love the color combo here!  It's so rich!  And those faceted buttons are just my favorite thing ever I think!  So sparkly and pretty!!!!

If you're a demo make sure to look me up in SLC at convention next week!  And for those of you not going demos or otherwise I will TRY really hard to do some updates both here and on my facebook page so you can get in on some of the crazy...I mean excitement:-)  And I'll have lots to post when I come back with swaps and my AA entries and samples and what not!

Happy stamping!
