Stamping with Kim

Miracle on 34th Street - Girls Day Out

I had the pleasure this past weekend of spending time with some wonderful girls AND seeing a fantastic play at our local Opera House.  This was our "2nd Annual Girls Day Out...Christmas Play at the OLD OPERA HOUSE ".  Kind of a long name for a fun time - but there you have it!

Let me introduce the girls...left to right...that's me, Kathy, Allison, Chris, Karen & BJ.  Don't we look festive?!! We kicked off the afternoon at a local restaurant by ordering waaaay too much to eat.  Then, of course, we followed up that huge meal with desserts!  The sweets were shared around the table, and were sooooo good.

To help celebrate the event, I made little cards for the girls AND little tealights - which I absolutely forgot to take a picture of!!!  So now I have to re-create those little gifties so I can show you!!  (I know, I know, I just can't seem to get my act together these days!!)  But here are the cards - very simple little 3X3 featuring "Thoroughly Modern DSP", with Delightful Decorations stamp set & coordinating punch.  I love the bright & fun colors!!

So even though I'm terribly forgetful about taking pictures of things, at least I got a good photo of the group.  Maybe you'll let me come back here & post again?!!

I hope you take the opportunity to spend time with your friends during the holiday season.  THAT is what it's all about!!

Stamping for a Cause

I'm skipping my recipe share today to tell you about some very worthwhile stamping that I was thrilled to participate in this past weekend.

My friend, Kathy, and her family have a tradition of adopting a special project every year for the holidays.  This year they have adopted 3 soldiers - and all the soldiers that they are responsible for - which is a total of 55 soldiers.  Now THAT is quite an adoption!!  In addition to shipping some personal and practical items to these soldiers that will be away from home for the holidays - Kathy volunteered to supply a hand-made card for every one of them.  That's where the rest of us come in...

We started by choosing a very simple design that we could stamp 55 times.  That was easily agreed upon - we chose THIS card - which was also one that all the girls had stamped recently in one of my Christmas Card Crank classes.

We made approx 8-10 of these cards in 6 different color schemes.

In less than 2 hours we had the entire project completed AND that included taking time to enjoy the yummy Cinnamon bagels from Panera Bread that Kathy brought for everyone!

Here we are - left to right - Chris, Kathy - our fearless project leader, me and Karen. 

This project was so much fun, and I know it's going to warm 55 hearts during the holidays. 

So I decided to share this story with you today instead of a recipe so that you, too, could set aside some time and do something special for our soldiers this year.  It takes just a very little bit of time - and I know they would love to know that you're thinking of them.

Thank you, Kathy, for including us in your project this year!!

Happy Stamping!!
