Day 12 AND Owl

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today is my last day at our Houston Leadership event.....and it has been SO MUCH FUN seriously rubbing elbows with some of the BIGGEST names in Stampin' UP! history. 

 And here is what was waiting for Jack this morning.....

I ended up buying a little cupcake from Starbucks and told him to make a wish! 

 My share today is a great little hooter that was up in our tree before we left for Houston!

 I looked up from our driveway and saw this HUGE Owl.......

 And I went to town taking pictures of him.

He didn't seem to be bothered by my clicking away.....

UNTIL...... 

 This CLICK!

Doesn't he seriously look like he's ready to say.......

ENOUGH with the pictures lady!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH to Jack.......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me with that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 11 AND Gift From Jude

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

 I'm participating in a Stampin' UP! focus group this morning....So I'm totally on the RUN.

 Here's the little gift that was waiting for Jack this morning.

 I haven't run out of rhymes yet.....

 My share for today is a sweet little gift that my dear friend Jude made for me.

She actually won this stamp set as the early bird special from my December Stamp Camp......So I was thrilled when I saw she used it for my gift. 

This little gift is one of those twisted....folded and tucked kind of gifts! 

Each of the layers flap over and tuck into the next...... 

And on the inside Jude tucked some yummy chocolate cookies to make me SMILE! 

I just love love love my little gift and might just have to tear it apart to figure out how to make these for my SaddleBrooke Friends.  THANK YOU Jude for thinking of me. 

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you some amazing pictures of an owl that was in our tree..........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share!  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 10 AND Card From Lisa

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today my Stampin' UP! Leadership conference starts......and I'm so looking forward to three days of FUN and PLAY with other Stampin' UP! leaders. 

 Now here is what was waiting for Jack this morning when he got up.

 A full day of relaxing and playing in the sun of Houston, Texas!

(Well I thought it would be sunny here......but NOT!)

 My card share for today is a beautiful card I received from my upline Lisa Pretto.

 Check out all this new product that Lisa used.

First up is the new Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape.

And the love ya is from the "Just Sayin" stamp set.  She used gold embossing powder on the Gold Foil Sheets........and created this AMAZING focal point.

She also added some new Fancy Gold Foil Designer Vellum to her base card......and it created a beautiful back-drop for her card.

 Lisa also created this beautiful red heart and added some new Gold Baker's Twine.

So there you have it friends........A beautiful card using lots of new product from the 'Celebrate The Everyday" occasion catalog.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a fun little gift that Jude made for me.............Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Day 9 AND Card From Kris

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

 Today I have the gorgeous card that my good friend Kris made for me.......

 But first....Here's what Jack received this morning.

We just happen to be staying at a hotel that has a Starbucks right downstairs in the lobby.  (When we checked in and I saw it......I thought.....I may NEVER leave!)  Now on with my card share for today...............

 Here is the card that Kris made for me.

 The front of her card is Amazing...........

 But the real WOW FACTOR happens when you open up her card.

 Not only is the pop-up coffee cup something to write home about.......

 But all the embossing on the inside is ICING on the cake!

 The PERFECT card to go along with the most AMAZING coffee gift.

THANK-YOU KRIS!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a card I received from my upline Lisa..............Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Day 8 AND Gift From Kris

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
Before I get sharing today.....I have a Twoie update.....

 Here's my Little Duder at 5-Months Old......
 

Well friends........We made it to San Antonio yesterday afternoon.  And the first thing on our list this morning is to head out and buy some long pants.  It's COLD here and we only brought our short pants.  Then we plan to hit the sites of San Antonio and spend some time out at the pool.

 Here is Jack's birthday gift for today..........

There are soooo many great places to eat in San Antonio.....So our plans are to go out and have a SUPER GREAT DINNER! 

 My share today is the amazing gifts that my good friend Kris gave to me for Christmas.

 Check out these great gifts!

 First up was this ADORABLE Pencil Tree.

 She used a die-cut to create the base tree......

 And used a pencil for the base of the tree.

 The other special gift that Kris gave to me was this AWESOME Starbucks gift trio!

It included a Christmas Blend coffee....... 

An Espresso Roast Blend...... 

And a Blond Roast Blend. 

Thank You Kris for my SUPER AWESOME Special Gift! 

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the GORGEOUS card that Kris made for me...........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 7 AND Gifts From The White House

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends! 

We made it to Lazona last night (a VERY SMALL town in Texas) and enjoyed the second half of the Packer game.  Dinner on the other hand......was INTERESTING!  We plan to drive to San Antonio today.......and will be spending two days in San Antonio before heading off to Houston.

 Here's Day 7 of Jack's Countdown to his Birthday SURPRISES!

Traveling today means some extra lovin' is in store for my guy! 

 So my share today is two ADORABLE gifts that my Doll Baby and Twoie gave me for Christmas.

First up is the set of pot holders that Brooke made for me.  It's tradition!  For the last three years ..... Doll Baby has been making these pot holders for me and this year her artwork is VERY VERY  IMPRESSIVE!

Her artwork this year is a full size "Doll Baby" and she also added a very special little message of what she likes to do (I Love Writing).  PRICELESS!

 And here is the gift that my Twoie made for me.......

 It's a coaster with his footprint!

My daughter had lots of help from Brooke who was able to keep Twoie amused and entertained ...... while my daughter painted the bottom of Twoie's foot and got it positioned on the center of the coaster.  SUPER PRECIOUS GIFT (which will sit front and center on my computer desk!)

 

Thanks for joining me today!   I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the AWESOME gift that my good friend Kris gave to me........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
