Black & Blue…

3-D Items

14 Mar

…I mean Green.

So this morning I met Maureen over at our local Park & Swap, I have not been there in quite some time. When we were at the Deli the other day we saw a girl with the cutest purse, so Maureen asked where she got it and she said Park & Swap, so then we set our plan in motion.  We walked and walked and almost gave up, and wouldn't you know it, the last danged aisle is the aisle we found the purses we wanted.  Then we just had to decide. I found a pinkish and black and thought hmmmm….then I found this one and knew this was the one that was me.

What do you think?

Isn't it cute? It looks even cuter in person. Maureen got the same one but hers was teal. Such a fun time…thanks Maureen, and Alan for putting up with a couple women shoppers.

When I had my Open House, Ellie noticed my framed poem, and it is funny it has been hanging in here for years, but now it is more noticeable.  A few of you have emailed me asking what it was in the frame, so here is the poem, I can't remember where I got it years ago.  What I did with it was printed it on DSP (this is old stuff since I did it probably 5 or more years ago) and then I framed it.

Just copy and paste it into your word program and do what you want with it.

This Craft of Mine

 

All I need to pass the time

and lose my thoughts of

reason and rhyme

are brushes and ink and

blocks of wood

to color and press onto

paper so good.

 

Each cut true, my work of art

I place and glue and

savor each part.

This gift of mine is

more than a craft

it’s a memory, a moment,

a time that we laugh.

 

Now I share what I have made

at a time I was quiet

a time that I played.

May a smile cross your face

when this card you first see

it is sent with the hope

we are all we can be.

 

— Pauline Whitchurch

 

Well guess who has a head ache again, it seems like I don't get one for a while and then I get them days or nights in a row, so I will sign off for tonight.

Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in.

Signature white 5

    Diana, could your headache be from hayfever/sinuses/allergies? There's alot of trees, etc, blooming right now and many of my friends are have the same trouble as you. Get some sudafed or something similar and see if it helps…..thanks for giving us the words to that very cool poem; it describes our craft to a 't'

    How fun (the shopping, not the headache). Drugs!! Do you need to go to the doc and get some? I love the poem. (Hi Patrice, I didn't know you read this blog).

    Hugs Carey and Roscoe

    I have to tell you that though we have never met and could not be more unlike sisters ( our looks) we could not be more similar, I love that you love your chickens and call them your girls ( we just got ourselves some laying chickens ordered and my father and I keep calling them the girls) , your taste in cards ( I am ALWAYS inspired by you) and I have this purse….I got mine in red and black and is missing the cross on the front but everything else is the same and I saw this purse at the same place as I got mine ( RCC cowboy store in Georgia) I even saw matching wallets ( Yes in the colours matching your purse as well).

    Just thought I would let you know and please do not be scared I will not stalk you down, although if I do run into you at conventiopn this year either I will scream or clamp right up in shock….smile

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!
