Monday…Monday…happens every week and this week I am super excited but also super “HOW IN THE HECK AM I GOING TO GET EVERYTHING DONE” – I am one of those people that work much better with a deadline and a HUGE to do list and trust me…I have one!
Hannah graduates this Sunday and I am over the moon happy to have all of my peeps…my dear Dad…my brother…Aunt Jean…Hannah’s Godparents all coming and we rented a super fun house to all be together – this will be a WONDERFUL time for the memory books….but I am away for 4 days and then I have a big trip!
Today is the last day that you can sign up for May’s Paper Pumpkin and we are super lucky to be able to see a sneak peek for May’s kit (Stampin’ Up! does not usually do this but I am happy) 🙂 – this looks to be a FUN Birthday one and heck – we all know, everyone has a Birthday so why not?
As I posted about before, I am giving one lucky person this stamp set….(I ordered an extra one so YOU can win this Exclusive Stamp Set) – with me loving horses and in spirit of the Kentucky Derby – right now the odds are 4 to 1….so I say DO IT – how can you lose?
Please know that you can sign up for just one month and be done….so what do you have to lose? NOTHING. If you were a prior Paper Pumpkin Person…(I love that name) you can resign up and be in the odds! This also makes a SUPER gift…..you can gift a 1 month kit to a friend…..
I am just LOVIN’ the new In Colors…I cannot wait for you to have the opportunity to order them. With the way the calendar is rolling….it will be here in a SNAP!!!!
Enjoy this card and as my Mom always told me, do not plant your flowers until Mothers Day….and I was true to her wise words – yesterday I ALSO WEEDED WAY TO MUCH but it needed to be done as we will be away a bunch and guess what touched my heart?
I do not think that you will be surprised but…I missed my dear sweet Eddie…..he was always by my side when I did this nasty job and I found many tennis balls along the way….darn that precious dog loved his tennis balls. Everyday gets better but trust me, my heart is still a bit empty – he was one in a million.
I hope that this super simple card brought a smile to your face….and you know what I am going to say – CLICK that button to get a 1 month Paper Pumpkin kit…..you’ll be in the running to win this stamp set (odds are great)….you will have a great kit coming your way to help you with upcoming Birthday cards…..and I will smile 🙂
Have a great Monday and lets all have a super-de-duper week ahead – it is soooo hard to believe that my “Red Caboose” will be graduating this week! Hannah is a great young lady with a great future ahead! I am just super excited to have so many people that I love so much to be together!










WOW, Congratulations Hannah, Susan and the whole family. Enjoy every minute.
This card is very nice. Love the colors and the lay-out. I didn’t ink mine up yet. Soon.
🙂
Happy belated Mother’s Day. Congrats to Hannah and yes I miss your Eddie too. I always look forward to your stories. I don’t know you but feel as if I do with your writings. Thanks for all your creative ideas!
Yay for Hannah ! Congrats to her !
This is a cute cute card ! I love this set ,but like Nancy mine is uninked yet. I think my box with the new In Colors should be here today so I may do some serious casing on your card ! I love that stroke of Sahara Sand (that you introduced me to in another lay out) I
Happy Monday ! Oh, and I am a PPP (giggle) Love the stamp sets !!
Love the card and how funky it is! Congrats to Hannah! Eddie touched your heart (and ours) in many ways and perhaps finding the tennis balls is his way of letting you know he is watching over you.
The stamp set is great with the new pink. Love the layout of this card. Enjoy the time with your family. A graduation is such a happy celebration.
Don’t make me get teary eyed, I can’t wipe my eyes yet! I agree with Mary Ann – finding all his tennis balls is Eddie’s way of letting you know he is watching over you and everyone.
I have actually inked up my little stamp set. I tried to make my swap card with it but didn’t like the look as much as I thought so I switched to the set in the Breast Awareness kit. Now, I need to get it to you-just beating the deadline. I like your card – so fun and festive. That washi tape on the envelope made me smile. Love that green strip from the playful palette paper. Darn there is that Sahara sand I keep forgetting to order!
Hannah is going to have one big celebration with your family! Congradulations!
Congratulations to Hannah and your entire family. It will be a big day for everyone. What a great idea about renting a house so all can be together. Really cute card, today. The new Flirty Flamingo works so well with Watermelon Wonder. Have a great, productive day.
What fun your card is today! Fresh colors and great papers. That washi tape is so fun too. Thanks for inspiring me to get going on a fun card.
I used this stamp set for my Mother’s Day card….came out great!! I am missing my Mojo this spring too, he loved spring and keeping me company while I freshened up the yard. Eddie will be missed for quite a while….they definitely leave their paw prints on our hearts. ❤️ Enjoy this week and the important memories you will all be making together. Congratulations to Hannah and to you and John too!!!! Good parenting got her to this graduation!!!! ?
Great colors on this fun card. Thanks for all your inspiration. Congratulations to Hannah.
