What on earth does that mean???
Well if you are any kind of a hockey fan, especial a Detroit Red Wings fan, then you know that when it comes time for playoff , the team grows a beard.
It is catching on here in Detroit, even Riley have started to grow one....
We went to the game last night...Detroit won...YIPPEE!!!!!!!!Hanna and I having a ball at the game....she is such a hockey nut...I was calling her a little hockey bunny...hehe
It was an afternoon game, so when we got home, I was in the mood to color. I stamped a few images and started to color them in. I will then take those and turn them into some cards.
I have been wanting to get a 300mm lens for my camera, and well with the times being hard, I could see spending a thousand dollars for this lens. Mark's Mom and Dad, went to China and they just got back from a 3 week vacation...While over there, they emailed to see if we wanted anything..AHHHH YES PLEASE...so I gave them the make and model of my coveted lens to see if by chance it might be a tad cheaper....
Email was a bit far and few between due to the cost of the internet service in China. So I had to wait on pins and needles to see if they could even find or get a good deal on my lens.....and YES...they found it...MY BELOVED COVETED LENS....Needless to say, I did not have to pay an arm and a leg for it...:) Thank you MOM and DAD for getting it, lugging it all around China, and bringing it back safe and sound for me!
I took some pictures with it, I still need to play around with it, as you can tell in these pictures....
These are not really in focus, and as you can see in one picture, the top of my deck post looks good....LOL I am sure I can find something to practice on. So that is why the 1st pics of my coloring are not really in good focus...
Any help out anyone want to give me for my new lens, I sure would love to hear it.
While at the MI Mingle a few month back, I had the honor of meeting a great person, and now a great friend. Cheryl Gipprich
She came to visit me while teaching at Scrappin & Stampin' last weekend.
I really want to thank Barb at Scrappin' & Stampin' for such a great weekend. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a while. They treated me like a queen...flowers and Wine...we did not drink it at the same time class was being held...although that might make for some pretty good cards...:)
Also wanted to let you know, that Graduation time is coming fast. While picking Hanna up at her school, I saw all of the 8th grade kids carrying their white gowns and hats...WOW where does time go? Soon Hanna will be doing the same thing..YIKES......
I was asked by Melissa at Scrap Tales to see what I could do about getting a graduation Riley made. So, I had him made and he is here to adorn all of your graduation cards that you'll need to make.....GRADUATION RILEY
Isn't he the cutest!!!
To all of my family and friends that are nurses. My niece, Andrea, has just finished up her orientation to the ER department at her hospital. I am so proud of her, because I know how hard it is to work in that department... She is so smart, worked so hard, and hope Hanna becomes as smart as her!!!
I know we have a ton of nurses that are Hanna Stamps customers, our Hospital set was made for you!!!..(and for me ...)
