Laura's Stampin' and Other Crafts

It's been a month and a half since my last post! YIKES! Where does the time go??

We just got back from a week at the beach. We had an awesome time - taking it easy on the beach, shopping, going to MARGARITAVILLE and the Dixie Stampede and spending time with friends. We're all tan and rested and none of us wanted to go back to work. Go figure!

I'm having my July Stamp Camp on Sunday - National Ice Cream Day. Any reason to stamp or scrapbook. Speaking of scrapbooking - two of my friends and I scrapbooked last month on a Friday night. We worked until 1am, packed our cars and got into Denise's car and drove 2 1/2 hours to the Jockey Lot in Anderson, SC. There's a lady who comes there around 5am on Saturdays and sells scrapbooking supplies at a very low cost! Denise, Lynn and I laughed ourselves silly on the way. We shopped until 6:40am, went to Cracker Barrell for breakfast and drove back to Columbia. We arrived home around 10am. Even though we didn't get any sleep, I would do it again. I think we all need silly things like that in our lives with all the problems we deal with on a day to day basis.

Please keep my niece, Stephanie, in your thoughts and prayers. She is in Iraq for another month and a half. We are looking forward to her (and all others serving over there) safe return.

These are some cards we've made at various Stamp Camps or Shoebox Swaps (all images copywrite of Stampin' Up! 1998-2007). I wish some of the Hostess Sets were in the new catalog. I love this set, especially this specific stamp.

A Christmas card in July?? If I don't start now, I'll never get any done. I am so busy with my monogramming business in November and December, stamping falls by the way side. Not that I'm complaining!
