Stamping Around!

Hi there! Long time, no blogging, huh? Sorry about that! Since Wednesday we've had two snow days, a little one sick with a fever, and a busy weekend. Sometimes the stamping unfortunately has to take a back seat. I'll have plenty for you to look at during the rest of the week, but today I have a fun announcement for you!

I'll be one of the instructors at Stamping Around Ohio! It will be held at Toyrifix in Smithville, Ohio on June 17-18. If you're able to come, I'd love to see you there! You can find out about the event and the other instructors HERE at the Stamping Around web site. I'm so excited! I'll have more info to share in the coming weeks and months, but I wanted to be sure you all knew about it! :)

That's it for today! I'll have a stampy project to share with you tomorrow! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Happy Friday, everyone! It's a VERY happy Friday for me! I've been keeping a little secret from you, and I can finally spill the beans!

Did you see? Did you see? I'm one of the newest members of the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen!!!! It's so strange to see it in print -- I still can't believe it! I am so thrilled and honored to be in such amazing company! If you're a Fan Club member, you can find this month's DD Gallery HERE! If you're not a Fan Club member, what are you waiting for? :)

My DD sister is the sweet and mega-talented Jackie Pedro -- I couldn't be more thrilled to be taking this ride with her! Stop by and leave her some love, okay? :)

This has been a whirlwind week, but I'm slowly coming back to earth! I have a lot to share with you in the coming days, so I need to go get inky!

Thanks to all of you for being such an important part of my stamping journey! I'm so thrilled to share my news with you! :)

Have a fantastic Friday (you know I will!)!!

Another Busy Weekend!

Happy Monday, everyone! Wow, the weekend flew by! We had a soccer tournament and a neighborhood block party, so it was fun but busy! I also did a little fall clean-up in the garden, since our weather has been beautiful! With all the outside activities, I didn't get a lot of extra stamping time, so nothing to share today!

I do have some projects on the horizon to share with you this week, so please stop back! Tomorrow we'll have our monthly MFT's Greatest Hits!

I'm going to hang out with Lisa Henke this morning -- I can't wait! I think a little Starbucks and scrapbook store stopping are on the agenda! :)

Have a great day, everyone -- thanks so much for always stopping by! See you tomorrow! :)

I'm still here...

Hi, all!

I'm here, just crazy busy with all the "stuff" that keeps me from getting inky! Two kids went back to school last week, and the other two go back tomorrow! We had Megan's 16th birthday celebration (which turned into a birthday week!). Practices and games for four kids are well underway. I've started my fall tutoring schedule. Plus, there's always some other distraction that gets in the way... such is life!

I'm finishing up my samples for the September MFT Release (you're gonna LOVE it!), but I'm hoping to squeeze in some "fun" stamping, too. I'll get something posted as soon as I can! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit -- have a great day!

It's That Time of Year...

Hello, friends! Happy Saturday to you! It's been a busy week around the Fischer House. It's that time of year again... back-to-school parent meetings, practices for fall sports, and paperwork galore! I've also been scheduling my tutoring clients and looking at taking classes to renew my teaching certificate. Needless to say, I haven't had many chances to get inky these last few days!

I do have plenty in the works for next week, however -- adorable new MFT stamps and some Christmasy JustRite projects, too! I do hope you'll stop by to check them out!

We're off to watch Kyle's soccer scrimmage -- in 95 degree heat! Yikes!! Then I'm scheduling some time for stamping in my COOL basement! :)

I hope you're having a good weekend so far -- thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Happy Monday!

Hello! Happy Monday! The kids returned to school today, and life is back to normal (whatever that is!). We had a good spring break -- we spent some time visiting my brother in Charlotte, NC, and we also went to the Biltmore. Our weekend was spent playing catch-up, so I don't have anything stampy to share with you today! I'll definitely have something fun for you tomorrow night when we have the MFT VIP Blog Hop! I hope to see you here then!

Greetings from the Biltmore House! :)

Have a great day!

Lookin' for My Mojo...

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday! I'm feeling a little mojo-less these last few days. Last week was a whirlwind of samples, blog hops, and releases, and it's left me lacking in the creative department. Does that ever happen to you -- please tell me yes!?!

Anyway, this weekend my husband and son are in Chicago having some much-needed "bonding time," and I'm home with my girls. I'm enjoying watching movies, reading, and just chillin' with my little ones. I'm sure this down time will restart my mojo, and I'll be back soon with something stampy to share!

Thanks so much for stopping by today -- have a wonderful weekend!

Snow... Again.

This is what it looks like outside my house right now... I think that groundhog might have been right about six more weeks of winter.

It looks like a good day to stay inside and stamp!

I hope you all are safe and warm! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Sugarplums Spring Kit!

Happy Monday! I took a few days off -- it was my husband's birthday Saturday, and we had a fun, busy weekend! My kids are home today for the holiday, and I'm fighting a headache, so I'm hoping to be stamping later on this afternoon!

I do want to share something, though -- All That Scraps has released a limited edition Sugarplums Spring Kit! The kit contains nine Sugarplums kids, two accessory stamps, and one set of Spring Sentiments!

The kit will be available from January 15th-January 31st at 50% off retail, during the month of February the kit will be 25% off retail, and March 1st the kit will no longer be available.

The images are adorable -- check out Lesa's samples on the ATS Blog HERE! My kit is on the way, and I can't wait to play! :)

Still here!

Hello, everyone! I apologize for the lack of posting the last couple days. My niece has been very sick in the hospital, and my thoughts (and mojo) have been elsewhere!

I'm hoping to get some stamping done this evening. Until then, I do have something fun to share with you! Over at All That Scraps, Christine has released her first stamp kit! It is full of adorable autumn images featuring her Sugarplums characters. It will be available for a limited time, so get it while you can! :) You can see some projects with the kit HERE on the ATS Blog.

Happy Saturday, everyone -- and to my US friends, Happy Independence Day! We have plans to attend a parade this afternoon, but it looks like it might rain! Last night we celebrated early with Chris's family at our house, and the little ones (and some of the teenagers, too) had a great time with sparklers and pop-its! :)

Fun News to Share!

Hi there! Happy Saturday to you!

First of all, Kyle passed his driving test yesterday! Thanks for crossing your fingers for him! Now the fun really begins, I know! ;)

Did any of you stop by the Verve Stamps Blog yesterday? Did you see?? I'm a Guest Diva for June! I was SO thrilled to be asked by Julee Tilman to work with her amazing Verve Divas for the June release! I've long been a fan of Julee and her stamps -- her elegant designs and fonts are just so beautiful! The release isn't until June 26, so you'll have to wait a while to see the previews! :)

Also, I'm headed to Smithville, Ohio today with my friend Ann -- we're attending the Copic Certification class tomorrow! I'm so excited! What makes it even more fun is that the class is being held at Toyrifix, which is where you can find Tammy Hershberger most of the time! I'm SO looking forward to finally meeting her in person!

I'll have one more All That Scraps preview for you tomorrow -- but feel free to stop by the ATS Blog or the ATS Design Team blogs to see what they've created! Thanks for visiting today!

Have a great day!
