Stampaway 2011 class samples!

These are samples of the cards in my class.

So we found out that both Tressa and myself will be teaching at Stampaway 2011 in August. The dates are; Friday August 12th (preview party), and Saturday the 13th. They will be sending out brochures in early April. If you send a SASE (.75 cents) to Stampaway Convention, 9685 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242 they can get one to you. We are very excited about this convention. It is, hands down, one of the best convention in the country. Work has already begun getting ready for this most awesome show. We will post a photo of Tressa's class soon.

Great new sample!

This sample was made by Linda Clancy of Edmond, OK. She had sent it to her friend (and our new friend) Eileen Hemann of St. Louis, MO. Eileen ordered some stamps from us and shared this awesome sample with us. How clear is this story? The stamp that is ours is the lady....from a stamp duo called Regal ladies duo... WI 79 H. I love this stamp and have used it many times. So props to Linda and Eileen! Thanks ladies!

Hummingbirds watch 2011

I am looking forward to the Hummingbirds coming back to Oklahoma! They are at least a month away from arriving. Last year we did not have as many as in years past. The two photos above are of a Ruby-throated hummingbirds. He has his tongue out...Oh March, come on...I am also excited about the Baltimore Orioles. They arrive even before the hummers. Yippy! I will of course keep you posted.

Presidents Day 2011

It is February....heck...you could even say that it is drawing to a close. This year is marching by. I have taken the time to look over the long list of goals and other 'to do' items that I created at the years end/new year. I must say...holy smokes I have got to get busy! The classes for Stampaway, that my mother and I submitted, were accepted! YES! We love Stampaway! We will be posting photos of the class projects soon.

Happy President's day!

Everyones gets thirsty....

This poor little squirrel, after eating (a lot of) suet and the bird seed got awful thirsty. So being clever and problems solver, ate some snow. He is really cute. There have not been tons of squirrels....now Red-Winged Blackbirds and Starlings.... they are here in numbers....and I mean big o' numbers. I've also seen Cowbirds....both males and females. (ugh!)

Winter wonderland!

We, here in Oklahoma, finally received some seasonally appropriate weather. Two weeks ago I was wearing my sandals. So needless to say this past week I was wearing my thick socks and leather short boots. The bird were out in record numbers. Above there is a Cardinal, Downy Woodpecker, Carolina Wren, and the last picture is of two Starlings. I love the colors of the Starlings. The birds have been eating, eating, eating! The snow has began to melt. We should have one more day of warmer weather (45 degrees). On Tuesday and Wednesday the weathermen are talking more snow. (I kinda hope we get more snow this week!)
