Thirsty???

It's hot here. Past 90 degrees. That's 32 or more, for my Canadian friends. I have a personal belief that there is no need for the temperature to ever go past 85. And yet, I choose to live in the high desert. Ah, well. I can grow peaches, daffodils, and tomatoes, right?

We made these cute decorated water bottles in May--great for end of school gifts, birthdays, any time you need a small but thoughtful gift!



Stamps: Really Retro (a completely under-valued set, in my opinion!)
Paper: Rose Red, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, various DSP
Ink: Rose Red, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Summer Sun
Accessories: 1 1/4" circle punch, glue dots

If you're already a demonstrator, come on over to Stampin Addicts and join us at our Meet n Greet on Friday, August 7! We'll have all our swaps that day, so you don't have to spend your lunch hour in endless search of far-flung swaps, instead of eating! I try *never* to miss eating! LOL

It's a great time, really! Meeting all the other stampers and swapping with them--it's the stuff of dreams! {smile}

Celebrate Memorial Day

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!





Thank you to all who have served our country on this Memorial Day!

Pacific Point Pinwheel

I love pinwheels! It must be my ADD, because I can just watch them all day long. We made this card at club Tuesday night. It's simple, but you HAVE to use the glue stick! Trust me. Check out Lyssa's tutorial on this card HERE.
