Sneak Peeks for Tomorrow!

A big hello this morning! Yesterday I went in to get my wed dress altered. I had to get it taken in a lot and hemmed with a bustle because I'm like... a smurf. LOL! But you know, sometimes I wish we can go to big ballgown masquerades and dress up in puffy victorian dresses. Actually I just want to run around on a big green lawn and of course there has to be like a big rose garden maze so I can run though that too. ha!

Back to reality, as we are gearing up for tomorrow, here's what's coming tomorrow!


Susie Surprise


Never Ever



And now head over to the Club Anya blog for some sneak peeks too!

Before I sign off, have you seen the fabulous entries for the Rockin' Rebel contest?!!!! If not, please make a stop there and check them out! Wooo! Platinum creativity there!

Today's question is: Since I was talking about ballgowns earlier, what is your fave time period?

1800s - 1920s. Love it!

Happy Monday

Greetings Friends! Hope everyone's weekend was swell! It's been a long long week but I'm glad to be back! Thank you all for your kind messages regarding Ray's Grandma. We really appreciate it.

So we have some new releases coming this week on the 1st! That's something exciting to look forward to! =) For today, here are some sweet cards to look at!

Have a great day everyone! Return tomorrow for some sneakie peekies!

Today's question is: What station is your car stereo set on?

I usually have mine set on Conservative Talk radio or Classical.

Out til Monday

Hi Stampers!

Thanks for a wonderful Farmer's Market yesterday. I also want to clarify a little something that I probably had not mentioned before but Farmer's Market Sale Items are only available on the blog. If you go into the store during Farmer's market, those items will not have the sale price. I'm very sorry if there was a misunderstanding on that part and it is my fault if I did not make that clear. Again my apologies and I will state this again when the next Farmer's Market comes around.

I'm stepping away from the blogging arena until Monday. I have several projects, new stuff, packaging, family visitations, and a funeral (Ray's grandma) to go to this week so for the most part I will not be on the computer much.

Still I hope everyone will keep on stamping and I hope you are participating in the Rockin' Rebel contest. I love all the creations so far in the gallery! Love them!

I will see you all on Monday. Happy smiles and stamping til then!

hugs,
Marie

Today's question is: Veggie lover or Fruit lover?

Veggies all the way. As much as fruit is delish, I love vegetables in my meals! Mmmm.

Farmer's Market

Good day stampers! As you may have known, I did forget Farmer's Market last week so we are having one today! And as a bonus, I am having 2 'extras' today as well. Have fun shopping! While supplies last.




Enjoy!

Today's question is: What's your favorite day of the week?

I like Thursdays. When Thursdays come, I know Friday is not far behind and when Fridays come, the weekends are right around the corner. haha.

Coming Soon and a Rockin Contest

Hello friends! Ahhh in my mayhem I forgot Farmer's Market. LOL. Let's do that on Monday. I'll have 5 items for sale to make up for my absent mindedness. haha.


You've seen part of this before and now here's the full package! Coming to you sometime in April, Sunny Glen! 12x12 designer scrapbooking paper by your favorite farm! Each pack consists of 2 of each of the following designs.

Guest: Suzanne Dean

Greetings Stampers! Today I would like to welcome Suzanne Dean! She is a paper crafter extraordinaire! I always enjoy looking at her layouts and layers. Her choice in colors is always right on! So without further adieu, let's take a lookie at her beautiful creations and get to know her a little more. =)

Suzanne Dean

How long have you been stamping?
I’ve been stamping for about 6 years, scrapbooking for 10 yrs, & cardmaking for 1 ½ years

What's your tool of choice?
My Copics and my SU snips

Describe yourself in 3 words.
Creative, Loyal & Kind

If you had a stamp line, what would you call it?
Well….I do have one coming out soon but can’t say yet, shhhhh!



What's your favorite TGF stamp set?
I love them all but “Home Sweet Home” just tugs on my heart. I have 2 dogs & 5 cats, so animal stamps of any kind usually are my favorite .




If you were a color, what would you be? Why?
Red—bright, fierce, loyal & always fun



Descibe your crafting area.
I love my room (wish it was bigger)—I’m super organized but it can look like a tornado struck when I’m working on several projects. My room is sage green with black/cream toile curtains & pillows—love toile!



When making cards, what is your favorite colors to use?
I love to use red, black & pinks the most! But I’m really an equal opportunity color user because I love all colors, lol!



Do you listen to music while you stamp?
Sometimes I’ll turn the TV onto HGTV for background noise, but mostly I like it quiet. When its nice outside I like to open the windows & listen to the wind rustle the trees & hear the birds singing—so calming.




3 wishes:
Hmmm….a personal wish of mine is to make it to Italy this year and to get published more. A general wish is for our country & economy to heal and everyone to be in a happier state of mind. Oh and more stamping goodies is always good :o)


Ah such wonderful work. I especially love the little 'Home Sweet Home' wood hanging! Too cute for words!

Today's question is: How do you like your steak done? or if you're a vegetarian/vegan, what is your favorite dish?

Mmmm steak... I like mine medium rare. Well I guess I know what's for dinner tonight. hahaha. With a side of mashies and lemon asparagus....

A Monday in Review

Happy Day stampers! Wow so what did you gals think about the Anya Blog Hop? Pretty amazing wasn't it? If you had missed out yesterday, here are the new releases now available in the shop!







For our splendid little lineup today, let's start off with one of my fave Ian stamps so far, Skater Ian!!! This first one is by Heather! Just look at the scene! Ian is totally into extreme sports!


Here's another one of our darlin' skater! This one is by Mary! She made it for the Case of the Curious Card II. I love the sign and the background. ahhahaa and the birds are hilarious!


We haven't seen this little cowboy in a while. It's by Cheryl. I love this color combo. The khaki and the red is super! Behold Cheryl's little card army.








Tune in tomorrow for a super exciting guest! Have a great start of a week everyone!

Today's question is: What's on your 'must-do' list today?

A must-do today is cleaning up my work space! Looks like a tornado of paper and rubberstamps!
