Whave I been you ask? I've been right here, just too busy to sit down and tell you all what's going on with me.
For those not interested in what happened over the summer, you can just skip to the bottom, there's cards there.
Couple things have happened since my last post. I cut 11+ inches of hair off my head and donated it again. I do have some before and afters, they are all terrible, but that's ok.

Sorry, but I did warn you that it's not the greatest picture.
My Grandmother celebrated her 80th birthday in August, and we were there for that.
Such a fun time, all my mom's side of the family were able to be there, and the women of the family, daughters, and granddaughters sang Grandma a song as part of the program. I couldn't sing, I lost my voice just days before. poo!
isn't she just the cutest!
My husband and I celebrated 10 years of married bliss. We went to a dinner theatre, we got a hotel room, so cool! It was a theme room, and my hubby gave me something really cool! Totally surprised, didn't see it coming. A trip to Hawaii in November. I CAN'T WAIT!! I'm just a little excited. Here are a few shots of our hotel room.
Our son started grade 1 this year. It's hard to believe that he's 6 already. Man time flies. Here is kiddo on his first day of school.
We've also started him in horseback riding lesson this fall. We thought it would be very theraputic to have him in something like that, and he loves it! The best part is that his Auntie teaches him, so it someone he's already comfortable with. BIG bonus!
Here's a picture of him his first lesson.
I haven't done too much in the way of stamping. I kinda lost my mojo, and with the nice weather, and my son being home it's hard to find time to just do it.
I did manange to get two cards done this summer. I know, two, how lame, but it's something.
This first one was for my friends little guy. He turned 7 this summer.
I used a new set from Stampin' Up! Bits and Bots, I think it's called, and some Basic Grey Papers, Granola.
This next card I made just because, no reason for it, just needed to do it.
The stamp is from Stampin' Up! and the pattern paper is again, from Basic Grey, from their Wisteria line.
Here are two more projects I've just done this week. One is another birthday card for a little boy. I thought it was super sweet. The patterned paper was given to me by a friend so I have no idea where it came from, but the stamp set is a new one from Stampin' Up! Greetings Earthing.
This second project is something I made at my friend Christy's place . She was showing a bunch of us girls how to quilt using, get this, her Big Shot Machine!! With the exception of the large background piece all the other pieces were cut using her Big Shot. How cool is that?! I haven't finished sewing it yet, there just wan't time. We are going to be making quilts this year at her place using just her Big Shot! So awesome!
So that's just a quick update. Well it was meant o be quick, lol!
Hopefully I will be back on here again soon.
I do have projects on the go, so that should bring me back sooner.
