Stew Leonard's

We got to go to Stew Leonard's!!  For those of us that live in FL, this is an experience.  Stew Leonard's is a grocery store up here that is an adventure and a store.  They carry a lot of their own brand name stuff.  They also have a lot of many prepared foods. Needless to say, you can just run to the store and picked up your already made meal or pick up a prepared one to just throw in the oven.  It is a really cool store.  They have animatronics that are perfect entertainment for the kids.

So, anyways, here are a couple of pics.

Benny has more on his phone but I have to figure out how to sync his phone without him getting all my contacts.  So, as soon as I figure that out I will post those as well.

Christmas in CT

Yup, you read the title correctly.  This FL girl is in icy cold CT for the Christmas holiday.  My hubby is from here and so we came up to visit.  All I have to say is burrrrrrrrrrrr.  It is SOOOOOOOO cold up here!!  I honestly don't know how people survive this year after year.  It gets really cold in FL but it only lasts for about a week.  Then we have a nice chill.  In CT, it is just plain freezing allllllll the time!!!  I'm even cold inside the house...LOL!!  It hasn't snowed yet though.  Supposedly, it might snow this weekend. I hope it snows before we leave on Christmas day though.  It is always sooo pretty when it snows and you don't have to go out and work...LOL!!

Anyways, I am off to play set-back with the family.  So I will post pics later.  Hope everyone is doing well :) Mercy

I WON!!!!!!

I have been chatting it up most of the day over at splitcoststampers.com.  The Greeting Farm is now on SCS!!  They released their new line of clear stamps and were having a giveaway.  I won one of their prizes of a single stamp set.  I chose Birthday Anya.  She's an older stamp and I want to make sure to get her before they retire her.

However, their big drawing was at 11pm EST.  I stayed up because I wanted to see if I would win... the prize...all of their new release sets.  Hubby told me to go to sleep but I stayed up and WON!!!!  I won all 5 brand new sets!!!!  I am sooooo happy.  I can't believe it!!!!

I met some lovely ladies that are a blast to chat with AND have lots of great advice.  It was sooooooo much fun!!  I really enjoyed it.  I haven't chatted since I met my hubby online 12 years ago!!   You guys have to check it out :)

Can't wait to get them in and play :)

Finished Copic Coloring of Uptown Angel

I had fallen in LOVE with the Kenny K stamps ever since I saw thenorsugirl color them up on her YouTube channel.  I went right over to WhimsyStamps.com and signed up for their newsletter.  About a week ago, I received the newsletter stating that their stamps were 20% off!!!!  What!!!!!  I HAD to buy some of them now...hehehehe.  I went online and picked some up (13 of them, that's some right?!?!?!?!?).  They came in on the perfect day because it was my friend's birthday and there was one that was perfect for her.  I started coloring her up right away.  Here is the video of my finished card.  She came out soooooo cute.  Jennifer loved it.

Hope you guys enjoyed :)

Michael's Haul and Stella Birthday Card

I wake up every Sunday and look up the Michael's ad.  I want to make sure that I am able to get the best deals on the first day so that they don't run out.  To my surprise, they had their recollections brand paper 50% off.  Those new beautiful paper pads were 50% off!!!!  How could I pass that up?!?!?!?!?  Soooo, I got up, got dressed, and went shopping.  Here is what I picked up.

I also show a finished birthday card I made for my Assistant Principal.  Hope you enjoy :)

I think the card came out sooooooooo cute.  I'm going to hate to give it away....sniff, sniff.  I really hope she likes it :)
