Cornish Heritage Farms closing! :(

I am so bummed. Cornish Heritage Farms has decided to close. The carry Kim Hughes stamps and some other ones that I just loved. Here are the details-
Orders for any stamps will be accepted until Thursday, July 15th, 2010.
We will be closed on Friday, July 16th for stock take.
We will reopen Saturday July 17th, 2010 but we will not be pressing any new rubber, only remaining inventory will be sold at gradually discounted rates until it is all gone.
Our last day of trading will be Thursday Aug 5th, 2010.

Happy 4th!

Hope you have a wonderful and safe Independence day! We will watch the fireworks show at the Space Needle on TV. Then we bought the kids a bunch of fireworks and are setting them off in "the circle" in our back yard. The stinkies are very excited. :)

A little Paper Makeup!

I recently ordered a bunch of stamps from Paper Makeup. I LOVE the monsters by Stephen Hammond. :) They have some really cute fairies there and a new line of animals that are simply darling.

My friend Sparkle recently started a new stamp company! Her store official opens on July 10th! There will be a blog hop on July 10th to celebrate her grand opening! I have some cute cards to show off too. :D See you then!

Spring in Washington

Apple blossoms...

Lilac...

Stuff is just sprouting everywhere!


I haven't been making as many cards as I would like and I am SO behind on my scrapbooking but it is just too nice outside to be inside!!! I do have some new cards to show you using Doodle Factories newest release and some of my new Paper Make Up stamps. :) Check back soon!

Pets

An animal came to us this week in incredibly bad shape. She can barely walk and is very deformed from poor nutrition. Sadly, she'll need to be put down this evening.

If you're going to get a pet, any pet, please do your homework first. Every health issue this animal has could have been completely avoided with proper housing and diet.

I'm not mad, just so, so sad that she won't get to have a long and happy life.

Baby cards

I need some baby cards for a shower this week so it was time to get stampin'!


I used Basic Grey Granola and Figgy Pudding for two different looks. I'm not sure which I'll use but I really like how they came together. :)

**I haven't forgotten about my EMERGE project for February. It's all printed and mounted and I just have to add some finishing touches. I'm thrilled with how it turned out and it was very fun to photograph too. :) Here's a sneak peak of one of the letters-

This R is from an old fortune telling machine near a magic shop at Pike Place Market. I loved the bright R against the green patina!

Yeah! Who says Mondays stink?

Today has been GREAT!

Tracey emailed me and I won the challenge for Jenn's baby card! I won a free stamp set plus the sentiments! I am so stinkin' excited. I am going to try to hold out until the new release but there are stamp sets that have been calling my name for a long time now...

I went to the beach this afternoon and got seven pieces of bonfire glass, one red, TWO pink (this is a very rare color and my first pieces of this color), one orange and a larger piece of bright yellow. I found other really great pieces too (and a bunch of sea pottery) but those were my top finds.

Hope you had a great day too!
