Hello, My Friends!

Guess what?!?  I "might" get to take the day off tomorrow!  We are traveling to the next expo and spending the day in New York.  :)

Well, of course, I'll have my iPhone and my laptop, so I will still work, but I won't be in the office.  :)

To the Love of My Life....

Hello, My Friends!

So, this is to the love of my life....no, not stamps!  ;)  hahaha...

Today, Ken and I are are celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary.  :)

June 23, 1990

Kenny,

I know God loves me.  How do I know this? Because he blessed me with you.

No other man on earth could put up with me!  I know I'm crazy but, I'm thinking you might be a little crazy, too, to be with me this long.   ;)

Little did we know, when we met.... that summer night in Huntington Beach, that we would one day get married and have two incredible daughters.  And still be married 22 years later!  ;)

You've allowed me to follow my dreams.  You've never held me back.  You've always encouraged me to stretch my wings to see how far I could fly. 

It means so much to me that you believe in me.  Even through the rough times, you've been by my side and for that, I'm so incredibly thankful.

Can you believe how wild and crazy our lives have been?  Yes, there have been good times.  And, of course there have been bad times.  But, we've stuck together.  So, far, we've survived!  :)

I'm amazed at how much we have shared.  I love when we are somewhere and we both think of the same thing in our history and bring it up.  I remember one time, we were somewhere but not standing near each other.  We both saw something funny, looked across the room at each other and started laughing.

We both have the same odd sense of humor.  I love to laugh with you.  I love how many inside jokes we have.  I love that you are my Best Friend.

Thank you for being such an amazing husband. 

I love you,
Stephanie




So, how do you think we are celebrating our anniversary?!?  Vacation?  Hahaha...nope.  Dinner out?  Well, maybe.

But during the day, we will be working.  ;)  Well, kind of.  Today we have our second "The Stamps of Life Class" at our facility in Irvine.  Two classes, three hours each.  And, YES there will be cotton candy!  :)

Funny thing is, I can't think of a better way to celebrate.  I've mentioned before, this isn't work to me.  It's like one big play day!  :)

Hugs,
Stephanie

Guess What I Saw!

Hello, My Friends!

I'm sitting at my computer {supposed to be designing new dies for Sizzix!} and as usual, I got distracted and headed over to our gallery of eye candy. 

I fell in love with a few cards and I wanted to share them with you.  :)


This one is by Annie in WA.  She writes, "The gift was paper pieced and I stamped the bow twice on top. DP is from Recollections Signature Series and twine is from The Twinery"

I love the colors on this card!  I love how she used the birthday2celebrate stamp set to create the paper pieced present.  :)
 


This card is by Joy in TX.  She used quite a few stamp sets for this one!  I see mums2stamp, list2write and stamps4fancylabel.  She also used the Fancy Frame Framelits dies to cut out the sentiment. 

I love how she combined many stamp sets to create this card.  The nice thing about the stamps4fancylabel stamp set is it's great for mother's day, father's day, wedding, baptism, birthday, valentine's day and thanks!  Wowsers!  ;)

Ladies, thanks for sharing your cards with us!  Email me if you would like a special blinkie to add to your blog!  :)
