Thank You

Hello..... Haven't posted or been stamping for awhile.  Been taking care of my husband that had gullblader surgery a couple of weeks ago.  It should have been a simple procedure, but it ended up being a very long surgery.  He is home now recuping and is doing well.  Still in pain from all that surgery but in good spirits.  
Anyway, back to stamping and cards.  I'm finally taking some time to start up on stamping and making some cards.  Here is a Thank You card that I made.  My cousin Nancy requested some "Thank You" cards so I'm starting on them. Nancy, I'm getting them made for you and will have them mailed shortly.  Sorry for the delay.
Here's another card I made. I call it my Gift Box card.  I have the template in my templates file  .  You'll be able to find it there for you to download.  I had some antique yellow cardstock that I made the main box out of (just cut the whole template from the antique yellow.  Then cut the lid out of some coordinating ds paper.  I used a brown marker to make the box edges.

Here is another Gift Card box I had made a while back.  This one I made from white cs and used one of Stampin' Up!'s DS papers for the lid.  And Stamped Birthday Wishes at the bottom.  Download the template and try one for yourself.  They're not hard to make.  The first one I made, I just used some regular copy paper so that I got a feeling of what I needed to do.  After that, your imagination takes over.  Share your design with us. 







Have A Wonderful Day!

A Little Easter Humor

This email was sent to me from my sister. Cute!
A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.



"What are you doing in there?" she asked.





















The rabbit replied:



"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?"



To which the lady replied "Yes."

"Well," the rabbit said, "I'm westing!"

Happy Easter

Here's another email.  This is crazy!  I did it and it really works.


YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway but

the Hershey Man will know!

This is pretty neat.


DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING

DOWN FIRST!



It takes less than a minute .  Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would
like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 .
If you haven't, add 1759.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
7. You should have a three digit number
8. The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.





Have A Wonderful Day!
