U cant really tell it well there is pearl ex all over the card and I used versa mark and watercolor crayons also the rose is all watercolored in its not the best picture of it but it does look really pretty in person

Also as i mentioned in my last blog i needed to get my youngest sons birthday party invites done well they are done in the envies and ready to go to school tomarrow I made 10 of these and heres what they look like im kinda iffy on them but ive been told there cute and he loves them so thats all the matters

And i also managed to finish off the few pics of the aquarium that i found i think that i may have some big ones to do now that we took there its self and then all the pamplets ticket stubbs etc and then i think that everything from Summer 2007 for Neal (the olest) will be done and then i can finally start our family vacation to Tn ! I cant wait for it ! And gotta at least get it started beings we have another vacation to Tn in Dec comin lol

And other then that all were doing for today is hanging around the house im gettin some laundry done and ive managed to clean up my table altho funny its a mess again !

You never know what subject im gonna be working on ive got a few more aquarium pics from Tn i'll be putting up soon is what im working on today then im not sure if itll be fall pictures from the pumpkin patch last yr or beach or casino pictures from a few yrs ago when hubby and i went ..

Also wanted to add on here any one need anything from Stampin Up? Let me know

Yayy wed is over :) Hubby comes home tomarrow :)

Okay so wed isn't over quiet yet but soon and my hubby comes back in town tomorrow so that makes it all good :) I've managed to get a few more pages done in the last few days and wanted to share them with every one I am going back through all of my old pictures that I have that are loose and trying to get caught up if that ever exists in a scrappers world :) But here are the pages that i have done the last 2 days

and of course my Sassy that has to help me scrapbook she is usually where ever I am and is a good camera ham :) And with these pages so far that puts me at 86 of my own 12x12's for the year and i thinkim not sure if theres some hiddin some where that are still packed up but i think this is all of them and if i add in the others i did for a friend of mine on pages alone gives me at least 126 pages for the year not including all the swaps and cards so i don't guess I'm doing to shabby normally i keep a good running total but this has been a long yr i know Ive done almost 160 cards this yr and a bunch of swaps so over all I'm pleased now if i can just 100 pages of my own before the end of the yr ( christina u hear that its my goal so push push push me to do it ) id love to do 150 but well see ha ha ! would only be 64 more between now and the end of Dec and i know that those of you who know me are thinking if i set my mind to it i can do it ha ha we will see its been a LONG yr !

If you enjoy scrapbooking and have never used stamps in your books or have wanted to try to use them in your scrapbooking or making cards but have been unsure have some questions please don’t hesitate to ask me about them and I will answer them for you …
Let me tell you a little bit about Stampin Up , we are a Rubberstamping and Scrapbook Supply Company where you can shop straight from home ! Even in your Pjs J Or you can have a workshop if your in the Columbus area , or do a catalog party where you can collect outside orders and get the hostess benefits off of the work shop A little bit about our products Stampin Up offers a wide line of exclusive Rubber Stamping and Scrapbooking products our Stamps are one of a kind and are wood mounted rubber stamps you can get them in any number of themes from holidays , occasions ,growing up , all natural , elements , and greetings and with 100’s of sets to choose from im sure you can find a favorite or two to use on your projects We also have our own line of 48 exclusive colors in 4 color groups we have Bold Brights with fun and bright colors , Earth Elements with your earth tone colors , Rich Regals have a cross between the bold and earth in rich bold colors and we have the Soft Subtles witch are your soft baby tone colors that have a really soft feel to them Then we have 7 neutrals and 6 in colors the Neutrals are your earthy black vanilla browns and grays and the In colors are 6 popular colors that change with each book that are big in the décor and fashion and scrapbooking industry . We also carry Cardstock , Ink Pads , Markers and Chalk in our colors to coordinate your projects all together, Other things we carry for your crafting needs , we have pattern paper in some cute themes , punches , brads , eyelets , chipboard , ribbon, buttons , embossing accessories for both heat and dry embossing , and albums we are now carrying a home décor line and the Sizzix Big Shot with some exclusive die cuts for it and you can also use it with your other sizzix dies So as you can see there is a lot to choose from .. You can visit my web site at www.amberwillingham.stampinup.net and if you have any questions or would like to place a order please contact me and let me know . And if you would be interested in holding a workshop let me know and ill explain how that all works to you

I am also wanting to start up a Hostess Club and the hostess club works like this ,
I know not every one can afford to order enough to pull off a hostess order by them self but some of the hostess sets are really cute and the only way that you can get them is to place a order that qualifies well here’s a way to do both and it not cost you a fortune .. So what happens is this I am looking for at least 6 people if I get more then that and up to 12 I will do 2 different groups and you are more then welcome to be in both groups if u can commit to it and I ask if you do please make sure you fulfill your commitment because its not fair to those who do for ones that don’t ! But the hostess club works like this Say I have 6 people and each person agrees to spend a minimum of $30.00-us before taxes and shipping and if the 6 people all spend there minimum only of 30 dollars that would make the hostess party total 180 dollars witch would get you a level one hostess set and 15 dollars in free merchandise .. Now each month ( I will go in sign up order for this ) a different person out of the 6 in the group would get all of the hostess benefits ! Witch would be the level one hostess set and the 15 in free merchandise and on your hostess month if your wanting a level 2 or 3 hostess set that would be the month to gather outside orders or order a little more then your normal minimum to try and get the sets the outside orders can come from family , friends co workers etc .. So if this sounds like something you are interested in participating in please let me know I want to get one of these started up pretty soon also if you have any questions please feel free to ask me
Thank you and have a blessed and wonderful day if you have any questions please ask make sure you check out my web site www.amberwillingham.stampinup.net
there you can see the Idea Book and Catalog in Color and also see the Mini Catalog and all promotions that are going on !

Never Forget ! And Always Remember

Today is a day unlike so many where most people seem to want to remember our Lord and the many wonderful things that he has done for us or for those who lost there lives on 9-11 While i don't want to seem to be light on that because my heart does go out to the men women and children and there families ,that did lose there life so terribly on 9-11 or for the families of those who did I also want to take a min to reflect on and be thankful for our Military Men , Women and there Children the husbands and wives and the kids who have also lost some one due to this war and the events of 9-11 I feel our military personal and families don't get half the credit and the THANK YOUS for there duties and the things that they have to go through to protect My Family and the Families and those I love , Ive spent a good part of my life living in military towns where there are military bases and families and I am friends with several whose families have had to deal with this war and the effects of it first hand I am sure many of us almost all of us know some one who has a loved one who has served , died or lost some one so please take a moment today to think about them and lift your loved ones military or not and your friends in family up in a word or prayer today especially but every day if you can remember to do so !

I want to take a min to say Thank You God my self right now for blessing me with the many wonderful things in my life that hes given to me and to my family because i am blessed to have and be married to my soul mate and we have 3 wonderful children God has blessed us and our family with a happy home . And I am grateful for my parents and while i may not completely understand and or agree with them most or even part of the time I am grateful for my family and friends and wish for them all to have peace and know that God is with them and no matter how bad things may seem for them right now or how bad the situation that they are in may be it can and will get better if you just believe the power of prayer is a wonderful and amazing thing. I believe we make our own paths in life and we walk down our own roads But i also believe that if God puts you in the situation he will see you through the situation if you do believe in him and in his word

So take don't ever take today or any other day for granted always tell your family and loved ones that you love them and that you think about them say a prayer it don't take but a min and it doesn't hurt to know that some one is always watching out for you and the ones that you love ! And do remember those that have passed on before you not just those from 9-11 but while so many today will stop and remember those from this day i hope you will also stop and be grateful for all you have today also And say a prayer for those you love and know that God is with you and will see you through what lies ahead So take today to REMEMBER AND BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE !

I hope that you all have a blessed and wonderful day thank you for touching my life in the way that you have and for taken the time to read my little blog here
