Pulled Pork!

I was craving Pulled Pork when I woke up so I looked up four different recipes while my husband went to the store to buy the pork. He came home and did his own thing and it was awesome. It was a bit too spicy so we threw a potato in  and a can of red beans. We ended up eating the beans and mixed with that pork they were yummy! I am so lucky that my hubby loves to cook- not really- he started doing all the cooking last August and I have gained a ton of weight and he has lost! I like his cooking better than mine!
I added cole slaw and a pickle to make it like a Chicago style hot dog!

Hi friends!

Hi friends,
I have not forgotten about you, I was just trying to keep the Bella and Ethan post at the top for a week. I hope some of you were able to send some cards to these kids.
If so, thank you!

It's been so hot here in Texas, feels like an oven!

Snapped this photo at a little country dive that we tried last week for Father's Day. Thought you would enjoy looking at it!

Updated my 365 family blog.

I have been busy. I had two workshops and an Open House in the last week. Lots of fun seeing my friends but I am exhausted.

I get my SU catalogs in tomorrow night. Those of you that ordered one get a ticket to be in my drawing for a free stamp set! I will draw at the end of July. Catalogs will be mailed Tuesday morning.

Well looking foward to July 1st, FINALLY, and the launch of our New Catalog!

What's new on your end?

Please send a card to these kids! Bella and Ethan

What a great storage idea!

Wow, what a great idea! I got this from another consultant named Anne. I was asking about how I could store my soon to be retiring markers that are going bye bye and she said she heard other demos are storing theirs in our new DVD cases!!
I already had the labels on some drawers of cardstock, so I just pulled them off and put them on the cases. I put the retiring in colors in with the Earth Elements.
The cases are only $4.95 for 4 of them!! They can be ordered HERE!

A Special Elephant for Summer Brown!

HI there!
This is a special card that I made for a very special lady! Last summer while surfing the net for Cake decorating sites, I came across a really neat lady, named Summer Brown. She no longer has her cake blog but has a really fun,quirky, humorous and whimsical blog (not craft related, but all about her Southern self living her life in the Big Apple ) I "befriended" her via blogland after seeing her post about her battle with infertility.
Summer also has a blog called Calling All Storks, B is for Baby Blog.
(See blog button on the left)
She and her husband, Adam, are  now in the process of trying to find a baby to adopt! Yipee, I am so excited! Being an adoptive mom myself, this thrills me and I want to help her find a baby! today!!

I saw on her blog that she wanted to decorate her room in elephants, so I got this cart just for her for the Elephant on it, just to make her a card!
I had to wait until she received the card before posting. She was thrilled with it.
Here it is!

P.S.
I put this card on last night, but just woke up realizing that this is also the day we adopted our little girl. 12 years ago today we boarded our plane to go to another country to pick our little Pookie up!
Today we celebrate what is called her "Special Day".

May Summer and Adam have many "Special Days" to celebrate.
Wishing them "Tons" of luck!!


Later today, I was at a store and met another adoptive mom, Alison, and she shared her story and I cried. Summer, I know it will work out for you, Summer. We always believed it was not a matter of "IF" but a matter of "When". The right baby is getting ready to be yours, it just takes a matter of time to make it be the "right match".

Another Dress Card

This one is for my friend, Lorrie!
I had to wait to show it until she received it but it seemed to have arrived with perfect timing.

Island Oasis Designer Paper
Sizzix Scallop Circle Die for the dress
Scallop Oval and Round Tab Punches for the purse
Itty Bitty Shape Punches for the little flowers on the bottom of the skirt
Paper Piercer, Ribbon, Brads and Ribbon for embellishments
Fun to make!
Scroll down for some more designs from my Island Oasis Card Kits!

"Barbie and Ken"

Just kiddin'!! But I made the one card for Father's Day and then made the other card with the little dress.  Actually it is a skirt and top!
The Paper is our Stampin' Up! Island Oasis Designer Series Paper. The purse is made from the Round Tab punch and the Scallop Oval punch! Brad and ribbons are added. The skirt and top are made from our Scallop Circle Sizzix die.  Add some ink from the Stampin' Spots to the edges to matchy match with the cardstock and you have it!! OH and I love the Paper Piercer- soooo much fun!  I could make little holes all day long!!  I have the pattern for the shirts linked in a few posts down on the May 17th post!

Here is the inside, I ended up making this dress card too as a Father's Day card from me. I know it seems silly to give a man a dress card, but here is the inside using the Things I Love Stamp set!

Hope you enjoyed my silly little cards!!
Scroll on down for some more fun things made with this silly little card!

Oh  I need to show you this! My blogger friend and customer, Eiyiyi, at Dropped Stitches, made this darling card with her Island Oasis Card kit that she got from me! Isn't it darling!
