Friends

Um, who stole 10 days from me just now?

I could have sworn I just blogged a few days ago! But according to my post log, it's been since July 6th since I last wrote. So much for good intentions.

Since then, I've marched in a parade (the Lakeville Pan-a-Prog parade) with the folks from my office, and celebrated the 18th birthday of my oldest son! Wow! We've successfully raised him to adulthood! Woo-hoo! Now it's his turn to continue the journey. I wish him all the best, he's such a terrific kid.

I don't remember exactly when, but over the past 10 days, I did manage to create a few cards, and then actually get a photo or two taken of them. One of my favorite PTI sets is called Friends and is the one I used on today's card. It makes it so simple to create a beautiful card. You can stamp it alone on a piece of cardstock in fun colors, or, you can stamp it on designer paper and paper piece it. I utilized both techniques on this card. Isn't it fun and bright and happy looking?

So what's new with all of you? Are you having a great summer? Is anyone getting some stamping done? It's so hard to stamp in the summer time, isn't it? We've been enjoying many meals out on our deck in the early evening. Last night we had some pasta out there and sang Happy Birthday to our son one day late. On his actual birthday (Tuesday), he was with friends all day and we didn't have any time together to celebrate. We are also wrapping up baseball season.....last night was our first playoff game and the boys won, yea! Doug's been working every day at WCCO-AM for the past two months, filling in for someone that lost their job. He has to get up at 345am to be at the station for the start of the morning show (5a). While it's a job, and we are blessed he's working part time, he's highly, highly over qualified for what he's doing, and it's driving him crazy! The bad part of working that early in the morning is that you have to go to bed so early in the evening. It's been an adjustment for me because I always went to bed early and then read for a while before sleeping. Now I can't do that anymore because he's already in there sleeping by the time I would normally go to bed. He works a later shift today so I got to read my precious magazine in bed last night like old days, woo-hoo!

Well, I hope you are having a great day. I will be back for Scrap Stash Saturday this week. Last weekend I missed it because I had to work all day. Be ready for something different!

Hugs,
Amy
