Waffles Anyone?

Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

29 Nov

Today was such a cold blustery day. It was even dark outside. I did finally turn the heat on the other day, cause I was freezing in bed, and I about froze my nose off getting out of the shower, so it was time.

The sun came out for a little bit as you can see in this picture as it reflects into the roosting box. Look at those beautiful eggs.

I finished cutting the ribbons for my class this coming weekend, well at least what I had in house, the rest get here tomorrow, so that meant I had time to open the laptop and check it out. I saw by the manual that I was to make back up DVD's for recovery discs, and of course I had none here.  So I made a trip to the store and picked some up.  So I did get that done, it took about an hour to do.  I added my virus program, and changed a couple settings, and then I said enough for now.  I need to install Office to it still. Then I need to figure out picture stuff and photoshop, I have it on this computer, can I put it on the laptop? I use it to drag my watermark on the cards, and to size things. So I definitely need it.

I wanted to show one of my favorite cards from Founder's Circle, I love the vintagey, grungy kinda look of this card. This card was made by Jenny Peterson. Thanks Jenny for the beautiful card!

It's Chef Gibbs back from his world tour, whipping up a scrumptious brunch of fried potatoes, and pork chops.

Here he lovingly uses an egg wash to bread his pork chops, and what eggs does he use? That's right folks home grown eggs! The girls were just a bit too late or they would have been the freshest eggs cooked, cause when I collected them later they were still warm!

I want to Welcome Kristen, the newest girl to my team. I am so excited to have her join my Di's Country INKers family.

If you have been thinking about joining Stampin' Up! I would love to talk to you about it.  The kit is half off right now, it's only $87.50, but you wanna hurry, that price ends on November 30. You can read more about it on my blog post here.

This old gal is gonna call it a night.  Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in!

    OMG, egg wash! Breading! A man who can cook! Far out! Russel makes a good scullery maid (read mixer, measurer, cleaner upper and the like), but he wouldn't know an egg wash if it bit him. Guess I'll keep him around for his puter skills, eh? Congrats on getting yours out of the box!

    Mmmmmm. I bet Chef Gibbs and Chef Detjen (my DH) would have a ball making things together. Does he measure anything? I don't think Dean would even know how to use a measuring spoon or cup. He never measures anything. It is kind of interesting because nothing tastes the same as the last time. I tried to impress upon him the importance of measuring when you are baking things but he just poo poos me. I still am one of the luckiest people in the world with someone that cooks like he does. That card is really cute- I am learning to love the vintage, grunge look. At first I really didn't but now I am changing. Have a great Monday. Here it is overcast, windy and cool. Welcome winter.

    Diana, that is a gorgeous card and vintage is so popular right now. I love it! Gotta love a man that cooks. I'm very blessed to be married to an amazing guy who is a "Mr. Fit It" too, who cooks occasionally. Your girls are doing such a good job with the eggs. =D

I am a Wife, a Mum and a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I have been married to my husband Jeff since 1984 and we have a son Eric who is almost 34. Eric has Autism so being a Demonstrator was the perfect job so that I could be home when Eric got home from school and still earn money to help with the household budget.

I have been a Demonstrator since 1999 and it has changed our lives so much. 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.
