Step It Up
Yesterday was a really fab day for Ann. First, she overslept about 20 minutes for a training appointment. She trains her brain for you every Thursday morning so shortly afterwards, I tried to entertain her by throwing one of her socks around - and then...
Happy Birthday Ann!
Ann's been hard at work this week - mostly on her knees praying that she'll be able to get me a new Big Shot soon. I'm sure she will. It's Sale-A-Bration! Free stamps abound! I must say that she's been so excited going to the...
Here’s a Wednesday WOW!
First let me welcome our newest 24/7 Stamper, Janet, from Omer, Michigan! Welcome aboard, Janet! Find out how you can become one of the bunch here. There are so many of you who have asked me to tell you the secret of how to make the flowers on the card...
Still Feelin’ the Love
This is a big week at our house. Last week was the Super Bowl & Ann's Stampin' Up!-aversary. This week it's Valentine's Day & Ann's birthday. Even though Ann melted my Big Shot, I forgive her. it was a year old & I...
Purple Passion
Honestly, this card was inspired by one our friend Dawn did this week. We liked it so much we just changed the ribbon & shared it with our friends. Still, it was voted the favorite card by both the Yuba City & Sacramento Stamp clubs this week so...
It’s Always Sad to Say Goodbye to a Friend
We don't send as many cards as we should. This one has to be sent. Amy lost her favorite friend of 19 years on Tuesday. It was hard for her to come play with us. Against my good manners training, I tried to jump in her lap to console...
Something for the Man Types
My Yuba City Stamp Club girls were here last night making all those girly purple butterfly cards. They did do a gnome card, but that's no HUMAN. I love when they come, but every now & then, I've got to do something for you to make for your...
I Can’t Wait for Spring!
it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood yesterday. things were just as they should be. Cecil & his bud were watching the Super Bowl. Ann was all over the place! In & out of the kitchen; up & down the hall to my office; &...
Rock & Roll & Vellum
Today's the last day to register for next Saturday'sVery Vintage Class at the Early Bird rate! Register here! I had Ann use the Rock & Roll technique on a folded piece of Stampin' Up! Whisper White cardstock. She followed my barks & then...
Ann’s Been Holding Out on Me!
i was doing a little Jack Russell Terrier investigation around here & I found a Valentine Card that Kim sent me when she saw Ann at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Nashville last month. I'm sure that Kim gave Ann express instructions to...
I hope that today's art from the heart reminds you that Spring is just around the corner! May be hard to believe where you are, but I'm wishing for good weather soon for all my favorite stampers! (My girl Doodles is freezing in Texas.) I think...
Thank You Sacramento & Company!
Melissa & Guy are the best! They invited Ann to come down & show the card I made for my girlfriend Doodles that turns into 2 6" x 6" scrapbook pages. We'll be featuring a technique video later this week on how to make the cool...

What more can I say, but I love you all, stampers! Buy the package below the picture & get the Three Little Words set OR the Ice Cream Parlor Special Designer Series Paper featured in the owls' vests free! (substitutions of equal or better value...
It’s Yesterday Afternoon Somewhere!
I was supposed to get this to you yesterday afternoon, but Ann kept me hoppin' - in my crate! Now don't think that's mean. I like my crate - especially when it comes with a toy that has a little peanut butter & parts of a yogurt cookie...
ZERO Visability!
Ann has lived in foggy places before, but never like this! She drove down to Sacramento to stamp with her Sacramento Stamp Club. That's about an hour from here. She said that towards ths end, she could only see about 20' in front of...
