Never Settle

Never Settle for Just one Scoop!  Ha!  This adorable Oddball stamp from Stamping Bella is just TOO adorable. I love her.  I also added some bright colorful Turkish lace to the mix and beautiful flowers. I thought this card was just perfect for a bright summer day in Texas.  Heaven knows with 110 degree weather, we all need some ice cream!!

wonder woman

 Happy July everyone!  I can't believe I am almost half way through my vacation at this point.  WOW.  I may not have mentioned it before, maybe I did.  I got a copy of Babbel to learn some Turkish starting at Christmas time.  I was pretty good at doing at least five lessons or more a week.  OMG Turkish is SO HARD and so very different from English.  I feel like I hardly learned anything, lol.  My memory is like swiss cheese!  I don't know if that's from old age (ha!) or brain surgery.  I blame both!

If only the Wonder Woman inside me (deep deep deep down inside me) would come out I know I could learn it.  I hope that hearing it constantly everyday will help.

Live like there is no midnight!

 

Here's an awesome image from Stamping Bella's Oddball stamps.  I just LOVE this stamp line.  This one is no exception.  Isn't she great?  It says, "Live like there's no midnight."  Lol, I am way past that now a days, it should say something like, Live like there's no 9pm.  HA!  Well, maybe not that extreme.  On vacation I take naps I wake up in the middle of the night and do things, (esp because of jet lag) so I am not nearly on a schedule as I am on school days, when 9 really is a bed time!

Balance

 Here's a great stamp from Stamping Bella Oddballs. I just love that stamp line. "Life is all about balance"  Now that's the truth.  You are talking to someone who seems to just FALL down at least once a darn year.  Perhaps I need to head this saying about BALANCE!!

Hogs'N Kisses

I thought this stamp set from Stamping Bella's Oddballs line was just TOO funny.  They also have a sentiment stamp set to go with it.  They all make me laugh.  I used some gorgeous turkish ribbon to add to the base of this card, it matches just perfectly.  So, Hogs'N Kisses everyone!

Elvis

Here's a hilarious card from Stamping Bella, using an Oddball, which is probably my favorite line of their stamps.  I had to use Elvis' famous line, "Thank you, Thank you very much!" to close out the month. Isn't he just adorable?  I am using some great Turkish lace in Blue along with some adorable embellishments that I got in Turkey as well.

Kindred Spirit

I just love this stamp line, the Oddballs, from that store.  They are just TOO cute and quirky.  I also added a little fun lace to go with it.  I can't believe we are almost to the half-way point of this month!  WOW, it sure does go quickly doesn't it?

Thanks Doctor!

One of the most important things this month of course is to say a HUGE Thank You to my favorite Doctor, Dr Sami Aboumatar of Austin Epilepsy.  He's the doctor, (epileptologist), who first told me he would "fix" my seizures and then actually did.  I can't tell you how many doctors told me they would help me before.  He's a brilliant Doctor and a wonderful man.  What amazing work he does.  I will never cease to be thankful to him and his staff.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Do you make handmade Christmas cards?  I realize I have many good friends who aren't Christian, so it's helpful to know if you make them or not.  I also know several people don't care to make Christmas theme cards for whatever reason.  

For me, it's just overwhelming and after doing handmade Christmas cards for the family and promptly seeing them thrown in the trash, I started giving them store bought Christmas card again.  At any rate?  Christmas?  yay or neigh

I haven't picked winners for Feb 2-Feb 4th, so if you haven't left a comment on those days, go back and leave one to be in the drawing!

Have you signed up on Feb 1st?  prizes are drawn from there every day this month, so be sure to leave a comment there!  GO THERE

Sharing this hilarious card I made using an image and sentiment from Stamping Bella's Oddball line.  I do love those stamps.  TOO FUNNY.  It says"Live like someone left the gate open!"  The background of the card says "Hay there"  I also added some gorgeous Turkish lace to the card.

Imagination

Imagination is more important than knowledge.  I love that sentiment, though I was reading a funny sentiment somewhere about Alice in wonderland, something to the effect, "I'm like Alice, I just eat everything around me...." well, it was funnier, I am sure if you are on Facebook you probably saw it

I love this stamp line, the Oddballs from Stamping Bella, they are just TOO cute.

Naughty or Nice?

here's a funny Oddballs stamp from Stamping Bella. I do so adore this stamp line. I think I own all of them, well, ok not ALL of them, but a pretty substantial amount.  This one is just TOO cute.  I added a sentiment, "Naughty or Nice? let me think on that."

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas Eve.  I hope you are all safe at home and having a wonderful holiday season!

Reach for your dreams

Here's a fun card using an Oddballs stamp from Stamping Bella.  Using some great Turkish Lace of course.  I just adore these funky stamps as I am sure you know is my style by now.  I can't believe we are just a few days from going to our new school to get ready for the school year.  It's like we didn't even get to say goodbye last year as our school year ended abruptly, with the District calling off school the day before Spring break and then we never returned.
I know that our kiddos won't be there for a while, but we will still be working hard and getting ready for them!

Key to my heart

Here's a wonderful card using a stamp from Stamping Bella's Oddballs line. I just LOVE this stamp set. I think I have gotten almost all the stamps in this darling set. They are just TOO cute. I can't resist them.  I have added some great Turkish embroidered ribbon to it as well. Well, today is my first day at my new school location.  I am sure many regular followers have heard me talking about looking diligently for a new school to work at.  I got notice two weeks ago and I start at my new school today.  Wish me luck!

Be Merry

Here's a hilarious image from the Stamping Bella Oddballs line.  I just love their hilarious images including this reindeer. It actually comes in a set with several other reindeer.  I got the santa on this card at my local Paper Source store.  The sentiment used comes with the stamp.

Hope you have wonderful plans for the holiday.  Hugs, Holley

You are my Favorite

Here's an awesome stamp from Stamping Bella's Oddball line. I just love these stamps. I own most of the girls in this stamp line.  Recently they have made a bunch of new additions to the Oddball line of adorable animals.  Hmmm, maybe I should be adding those to my Christmas list.  I thought this card was perfect for the holiday season.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.  There's just 7 more school days until we are off for Thanksgiving break.  Hang in there teachers.

Back to the doctor....

Well I am back at the physical therapist AGAIN.  Third time in two years.  This time I have a different therapist.  I am sure she is great. I totally wish my last therapist was still there, but I am guessing that her DH finished his residency and thus took a job as a doctor somewhere causing them to move. At any rate, back to the physical therapist, this time for my left wrist.

I have no idea what is really wrong with it, but it sure does hurt like the dickens, OUCH, even typing on my computer.  Let's hope we can get this under control before school starts up, that means, three weeks!  EEEK.
