Stamping With Di

Mini Masterpiece for November

Well we moved the babies today.

Here they are before we moved them. Poor Jeff practically climbed half way in to be able to get them. We put them in Sammi's old dog pen while we moved their little pen to the big run.

Here the big girls are checking out their little sisters...well Fiji is looking for food. Speaking of Fiji, she has feathery feet, and yesterday was so miserable and wet the girls spent most of the time in their hen house and they must have been bored cause they have been messing with her feet. I think they are like "why does she get warm boots and we don't?" so her one foot is bleeding and it looks like they may have pulled out a feather, so after class/stamp club I put some medicine on it and corn starch which should stop the bleeding. I tried to bandage it but she picked it off. Was going to try again but it got too late and they had gone to bed so hopefully will be better in the morning.

I got this card from my sweet downline Donna Pratt at convention (Thanks Donna!) and I have wanted to case it forever, I mean it has sat on my desk waiting, and I was like eek, I better do it now since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

An Apple a Day

November 24, 2013

Well we had to postpone moving the babies until tomorrow (fingers crossed) cause of all the rain. It rained all last night and off and on all day, I even had to move my Sat classes till Sunday. Gotta love the rain in AZ...we don't get it forever and then it floods the road...nuts.

I wanted to show the cute little Mini Masterpiece I am doing for online orders for the month of November...The month of November? Yep, I have never shown one ahead of time...how fun is that? This fun little bucket of apples is from the Best of Autumn stamp set.

I do a different Mini Masterpiece each month. By placing a single $50.00 or more (before tax and shipping) order in my online store, you will get a mini masterpiece of your own - so yes if you have participated in my monthly Online Mystery Hostess Workshop you have earned one because the minimum order for that is $50.00.

Please note: workshop & club orders do not count for the Mini Masterpiece.

The Mini Masterpieces are adorable they are about 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" in size. You can frame them all together, make a cute tag or you can put them on a card, it is up to you.

Today is the last day of the Fast Metabolism Diet, I have done the full 28 days. When I weighed the other day, I lost 8 pounds and I was bad and didn't measure before I started but I can totally tell I lost inches, my butt and gut are smaller, and even my necklace hangs lower, I have been able to wear jeans I have not had on for years. I originally wanted to be a certain weight which would mean losing 5 more pounds but now that I am here I think I really just need to tone up and if I lose more I do. So next week I will eat similar to I have been, no sugar, eating 5 times a day and all that, but I am not going to worry if I eat an apple on a non apple day. I want to see how I do and if I did indeed repair my metabolism. I also will go back to pilates every day cause I know that has always helped me...thanks for all the positive emails and comments as I have talked about it. If you are trying to lose weight I totally suggest you do the Fast Metabolism Diet for the 28 days. I'll be here for you for support.

Have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping in.

Warm Wishes

November 23, 2013

So Melissa and I went to see Hunger Games - Catching Fire and it was so good, the time just flew. I grabbed our tickets and the closed captioning device while I waited for her to get there. We gabbed and visited so much that I never noticed that the device never did say anything and usually it says Harkins something or other and starts working around the last preview, so of course it was not working and I didn't realize it till the movie started, luckily one of the movie people came into the theater and walked by us and I asked if she could get me a new one and she did. Yay!!! Guess they never turned it on...so now I will make sure it is on.

I have the Everyday Occasions Kit class tomorrow and also Stamp Club day (if you want to join my stamp club let me know, I have one starting up in December). I saw this adorable card by the uber talented and one of this year's Artisan Award winners Mercedes Weber and I had to do it. I simplified her card to make it go quicker for the Stamp Club girls. Thanks Mercedes for sharing your talent.

Stamp Set: Santa's List, Snow Day

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Jetblack Stazon, Crumb Cake

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Old Olive

Misc: Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Festive Flurry Framelit, Delicate Designs Embossing folder

I just love this Santa set, he looks so old fashioned.

I can't believe this crazy rain. It rained most of the day, I know we need it but sure makes a mess when you live on a gravel road. Looks like the babies might not go in the big pen till next weekend....grrrr....

Have an awesome Saturday and thanks for stopping in.
