Long time, no type! It's been wildly hectic around here. Let's see, since I've typed to you last, we've traveled just about every weekend visiting family, sold our house in Knoxville, bought and moved into our new home in Gaithersburg, MD, and started unpacking.
My God the boxes! I'm the kind of person who will spend a month packing everything up and then have to have everything unpacked, in place, and cleaned within a week. This time, however, I didn't have enough vacation time to take a week and get everything done. So here we are, two weeks later, and there are still more boxes full of crap then there is stuff put away. Heck, we just found our computer two nights ago!! I'm hoping to get to Ikea later today to get some new desks for our office/craft space so I can finally get my stamps unpacked and start playing! I've been going through major stamping withdrawal (which is rivaled only by my Facebook withdrawal)! I bought a ton of new stuff from the Spring SU! catalog, but I haven't even opened them yet! Oh, the horror!!
Anyway, enought ranting. Here's a card I made a lifetime ago for my Dad's birthday back in March.
Here's the Recipe:
Stamps: Crazy for Cupcakes, Upsy Daisy
Ink: Chocolate Chip; Old Olive, Real Red, and So Saffron Stampin' Write markers
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Hawaii Papaya DSP (retired)
Accessories: Large Oval punch, Crop-a-dile, Chocolate Chip double stitched grosgrain ribbon, faux dimensionals
To all you mom's out there: Have a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Amy! Welcome back! Hey, we lived out of boxes for a year when we were in a rental while our house was being built. It sucked, let me tell you! We got rid of a bunch of things when we finally moved into our new house as we figured if we didn't dig it out and use it in a year then we could do without it.
I can't wait until your stamping is up and running again. You have to prioritize! Get all your stamping stuff set up and push all the other boxes against the wall--you can get to those later 'cause they aren't going anywhere. Eventually, you'll get sick of looking at them and make them go away. But you'll have lots of cards made by then.
Is your address different than the one you gave me months ago? I swear I'm going to RAK you one day when you least expect it! I'm such a butt! I should have done it eons ago.
Oh, your card is great!
Are you kidding??? I have boxes that were packed and taped up when we moved to Germany 8 years ago!! And here they sit- still taped up- moved to TN and then to WY!!!!
I LOVED getting a chance to talk with you the other day!!!! I have so missed you!!!!!
