Card of the Week & Best of the Blogosophere: October 2 - 9, 2009

So guess what I made yesterday

Seriously cute, right?!  I made this for our neighborhood "Phantom" game.  (It's the same game as "Boo" -- if you've ever heard of that.)  Before you think I'm that good -- I totally cheated.  I used Jen's Jeepers Creepers set.  This literally took me only as long as printing and cutting to whip out.  My neighbors think I'm Martha Stewart now!  

I will take credit for the cute cakes -- they are Little Debbie snack cakes with icing piped ghosts. :-D

Card of the Week & Best of the Blogosophere: September 05 - September 11, 2009

I'm caving to the blog pressure and adding some lists I'm not emotionally ready to add... yep, Christmas and Snow.  Christmas is all things Christmas... Snow is kind of a Winter/holiday category.  I'm not ready to think about the holidays yet, but I guess they are right around the corner.  (imagine me shaking in my shoes!)

Added a new box -- Invitations.  One of my wonderful readers asked for it, and that's all it takes to get new idea lists :-)

Stampin' Out Alzheimers, Card of the Week and Best of the Blogosphere, May 16 - 22, 2009

Check out we're doing now....

Ignore that badge at the end... here's a better one.. the "real one". 

Jen Tapler, from Jen Tapler Designs, and I are hosting a 7 day stamping and scrapbooking event to help raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's Disease.  The site, Stampin Out Alzheimers.ning.com,  will feature challenges, contests, classes and more - with prizes donated from over 30 generous sponsors.  We've worked it as a "Pay to Play" community.  For a small donation (any amount will do), you'll get permission to join our online community which will be up from May 25 to June 1st.  The site isn't "live" yet - it will open soon and the events will begin on Monday.  I'd love it if you'd share the badge on your blog and help us spread the word.  We'd like this to be the largest community fund raising effort in the stamping and scrapbooking space.  Please help.

Priviledge

Twelve Days.  That's how long it took me to respond to this really wonderful gesture from DeAnne.  I'm embarrassed that it took me so long, but I did want to acknowledge her thoughtfulness and send her a note of thanks.  I'm really thrilled that she passed me this wonderful Karma Award!

The Karma Award: These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

I'm now going to share a story with you.  Back in the 1990's, I was blessed to work with a really, really fabulous manager.  While I worked with him, we developed a deep and binding friendship and now that I'm working elsewhere and he's retired, we're still close.  Last week, we went to lunch and he was filling me in on his life.  He proceeded to tell me that he was on the board at his church and volunteering them several days per week.  He mentioned that when he started volunteering, he felt like it was his obligation... now, he really feels like it's a privilege.  His words stuck with me.

I would like to pass this award onto the greatest design team in the Solar System (there are more than 8... but hey, some of them may take a minimum of 12 days to pass it along!)  These ladies have made developing our community my PRIVILEGE.  I feel blessed every day that they are in my life and they touch me in ways I couldn't begin to convey.

All of these ladies have been so kind and encouraging to me! Thank you all!

Now it's your turn -- tell the people in your life who make you feel lucky that you know them that you appreciate them!
