I have been a Demonstrator for 14 years and I live in Arizona with Jeff my Hubby of 28 years, our 24 year old son Eric, our 5 year old Yorkie-Poo Toby, and our five chickens, Stella, Clara, Fiji, Mork and Mindy, RIP Gertie & Alice. I am a 2009 Stampin' Up! Artisan Award winner, I am one of the Top 100 Demonstrators for 2010, 2011 & 2012. I am having so much fun, I love my job!

What I'm Reading Now

Movies I Recommend

  • "Death at a Funeral"
    Make sure you get the original 2007 British version. So many funny moments, I love swearing in a British accent. Oh and Uncle Alfie on the crapper..."it's touch and go" and "you missed a bit" - Classic
  • "Barefoot in the Park"
    This is so funny, Jane Fonda's Mum and all the stairs is hilarious and when she gets drunk....ya gotta watch it!
  • "The Butterfly Effect"
    Make sure to watch BOTH versions, the theatrical and the director's cut...let me know which one YOU liked best!
  • "Mr. Holland's Opus"
    I love Richard Dreyfuss, since Jaws and this movie is so uplifting and beautiful.
  • "Serendipity"
    I think this is one of my favorite movies of all time...well at least the one with NO vampires in it...ha! I believe in fate...do you?

I just had to show this cute card made by my friend and downline Mary Noble, Ilove the shabby grungie look of it. Mary is such a sweetie, when my shoulder was hurting she came over with all sorts of things to help it and she gave me the name of her theraputic massage lady too. Thanks Mary, you are the best. 

This was Mary's swap for convention, love it!

Stamp Set: Creative Elements

Paper: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, International Bazaar DSP, (this is personally not my favorite DSP pack hey ya can't love em all right? but I love it with this card)

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Pacfic Point

Misc: Early Espresso Scalloped Tulle, Crumb Cake Scalloped Tulle, Delicate Designs Folder, Scallop Oval punch, Modern Label punch, Crumb Cake Seam binding

My shoulder is still acting up but not as bad, it was getting better and I slacked off on my exercises which probably was not good, I can't be tons of time at the computer cause that is when I feel it the most. My cabinet guy has been sick so he hasn't been able to fix the keyboard drawer. So I just have it rigged to work. It's not attractive but works in a pinch.

I better sign off and finish up so I can get to bed my midnight. Yeah Cookie, no early night tonight.

Some Kind Words


  • "You are one sweet and kind person, I am so glad that I chose you to be my Demonstrator. I have so enjoyed your blog and all of your stories. Thanks for being a SWEET HEART." - Sharon

  • "Thanks for the video. Have been wanting to do this and once again...you have inspired me. :)" - Gladys

  • "Thank you so very much for continuing to show samples and "how to" instructions and videos of your fantastic and creative projects. I can't even express how much it is appreciated." - Kim

  • "You totally crack me up girl. I love you, and we have never met." - Wilma

  • "If I wasn't a demonstrator already, I'd be joining your team. :) Thanks for always sharing your ideas and excitement for SU! My upline quit several years ago, so I've been blessed to have sideline sisters that help and encourage. Convention was a blast... like a bunch of crazy family getting together for a reunion! now I'm going to "go, go, go"... LOL" - Shelly

  • "I highly recommend this tutorial. I have dabbled with water coloring and didn't think I was too bad at it, but this tutorial has a number of helpful tips in it that immediately helped improve my technique. Even with the low price, I was apprehensive to purchase it because I felt a video was needed. You have managed to do it with a very reasonably-priced PDF. I am sorry I didn't purchase it sooner." - Dorrie
