Convention or…

This 'n' That

3 Aug

…Buster Bear!! What the heck are you talking about now Di?  I can hear ya, ok well I can't really hear ya, but sometimes I swear I can sense you scratching your head and wondering how I get on one topic and go to another.  Ha!
Anyway I had a fun day with my girlfriend Sharon (hey honey…thanks for lunch!), we did some eatin' shoppin' laughin"…OMG! at lunch, Sharon and I always seem to end up at Uncle Bears (which I sit here and see a coupon on my desk…oopsie, we will have to go back Sharon), it has such great food.  Sharon loves the wings, and gets them grilled, you have to try them…anyway, so this time I thought I would get them too…grilled BBQ wings…now those of you that know me are thinking…gee did you eat them in public? Cause I generally don't like to get messy stuff in public, at home…well that's another story…have you ever watched "A Christmas Story", and the little brother is eating his porridge like a pig, oinking it up, and the mother cheers him on, man that is a classic, anyway, at home I don't care if I am messy cause I can wash up…but in public…well anyway…so I got the wings and they were yummy and messy, and then Sharon had this look on her face, and I was like "do I have food on my face?" and she said "yeah" and I am like crap, so I get a napkin and wipe, and nothing, and she is like "higher", and I wipe higher, and nothing, and she says "higher", and I wipe, and then I am like "umm that is my mole"…and we laughed so hard, I thought I was gonna have grilled bbq wings coming out of my nose.  I kidded her and said "well gee that is my Cindy Crawford beauty mark"…ha!  Of course Cindy got the beauty I just got the mole…Ha!

So last night I had colored up Buster the bear, that is what I am calling him…hence the blog title…see eventually I get back on track.  I colored him all up, and then tonight I just had to make a card with him.  I think I am going to make some of these up for swap cards.  It is a little different shape but hopefully no one will mind.  It used the awesome square scallop clear die.  I love those.

DSCN8586 copy Stamp Set: Beary Best Friends
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Summer Sun, Brilliant Blue
Ink: Basic Black
Misc: Watercolor pencils, sansodor, stumps, Summer Sun Corduroy brad, Scallop Square die, texture plate, 3/4 polka-dot grosgrain ribbon (turned to the other side).

This set will be available September 1, isn't it cute?  As Demonstrators we can order out of the next mini catalog earlier in order to make samples and plan classes in advance.  Nice perk eh?  Don't forget you have until the end of August to sign up for only $85.00. You too can be a Demonstrator just like me.  If you decide you want to give it a try, make sure to use the code QCAZ85240 to get into the right section of the website.  Holler if you have any questions, I would love to have you join my team.  Ask about my sign on gift too!

Tomorrow I am gonna meet MAMMa, and Rhonda and we are going for pedicures so our tootsies are all pretty for convention…then we are gonna meet our hubbies for lunch.

I also wanted to make a quick note about my Kick off Party on the 15th.  I have canceled the evening one, we had a dear friend pass away, he was from Illinois, so his funeral was held there, so all of us AZ family are going to have a memorial of our own and celebrate our great friend, and it is going to be on the 15th.  So I have updated my SU! website, but just in case, I wanted to let you know on here. Please be sure to make a point to get together with a dear friend that you have not seen in a while, it is so sad that it takes a funeral to bring old friends together, it just makes me so sad to think about it.

Have a beautiful Monday and thanks for stopping in!

    Cute card. Please whatever special thing you decide to do at the memorial for Jeff, please do an extra one for me.
    And you are so right. Take that extra time to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you. Life is too short. We need to cherish every minute we have with the people we love.
    Luv ya
    Jax

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I do hope you have a great time at convention. Your Buster the Bear card is adorable. I've been trying to decide if I wanted that set or not and I think you just made my decision for me. 🙂

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
