Pump You Up!

This 'n' That

30 Aug

Watercolor class bucket close 

Remember on Saturday Night Live when they had the Hans and Franz skit and they were all padded up in their gray sweat suits and they pretended to be Arnold Swartzeneger and they would be all "pump you up!". The old Saturday Night Live sure had some classic comedians on there, Gilda Radner was the best, remember her Violence/Violins skit…classic.  I have not seen it in forever and I just remember the last time I saw it, it was not that funny, it was just kind of stupid.

But the other night I came in from letting Toby out and Jeff had the TV on and Taylor Swift was singing, and flipping her hair all around, and I was like "what is this?" and Jeff said "Saturday Night Live", and I said "it must be a repeat cause that is an old song", and he said "no it's live its not a repeat" and I was like "what?" and he's like "it's called Saturday Night Live".  So I took the remote and hit the info button.  It was from 2009.  I just smiled, and said in my head I told you so…and said "I'm blogging that".

So let's change the subject…I know Jeff would like to…love ya honey!

Watercolor class bucket full
Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Countryside

Paper: Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, Newsprint DSP

Ink: Jetblack Stazon, Cajun Craze, Old Olive

Misc: Watercolor pencils, blender pen, spritzer tool, Cajun Craze marker 

This is the other card the girls did at class, I showed a very similar card like this before, I think, as I demoed one at convention, this one is just colored differently and with a different medium.  We used the watercolor pencils and a blender pen to color this one.  I love the look of the wood bucket and the water pump.  I was remembering back during class to when we had one of these water pumps and the little pointy thing on the spout held the bucket on and I remember drinking from this metal spoon and the water was so cold and I swear I could taste the spoon. Now a days we buy our dang water, cause of all the pollution and stuff, plus we didn't know half the stuff we know now about what we put in our face. Speaking of which a lot of you have emailed me to say you tried the cinnamon rolls and really liked them.  Jeff already has given me orders to make them for our block party in October. I am sure they will be made many times before then.  I just gotta go buy some more icing sugar…seems I'm all out…hmmm…

Well my mojo is absent and I am supposed to be making a swap for tomorrow.  So I best go try to find it. I hate when that happens.

Have an awesome Monday and thanks so much for stopping in!

    Just one question, Di. What is "icing sugar?" The fluffy, powdery stuff? Confectioner's sugar, a/k/a XXX sugar? Inquiring minds and all that.

    Icing sugar is confectioners sugar. Maybe it's Canadian lingo, but I have always known it as icing sugar.

    Hugs,

    OMG!!! I loved your "taste the spoon" comment about well water. My grandparents had a well and I loved that water. My grandmother had a hodge-podge of glasses. There was one aluminum bell shaped tumbler that was my favorite to drink water from, when I was over there. We ould go out to the pumphouse when my granddaddy was out there and he would pump water for us to drink. He kept several of the little glasses that dried beef comes in, out there for us to drink out of. Those are some GOOD memories!!! Thanks for helping me remember them.

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!
