i'm waiting...i'm waiting

i have been checking the stampin' up! site all night and ups says my 3 orders will be here today!! i can hardly wait and will be impatiently running to the window everytime i hear a big truck. lately i am addicted to the punches and have lots coming...must be in my genes. one of the things i am most excited about is the word window punch because of an ingenious gift card by sweet impressions.
plus new sets from the holiday mini are coming and THE CROP-O-DILE! (imagine fanfare music playing). so watch for fun samples because i am sure i will be glued to my too creative station all weekend. ...plus today is fabulous friday which means a great new project will be posting soon.
have a "too amazing" weekend!
p.s. have you checked the gift card idea out yet? you will HAVE to have that punch too!

here's a picture of my sizzix-aholic mom's closet...she said it everything but the alphabets and dolls because they wouldn't fit. i am always surprised that she knows exactly what she has. its great because she can (and will) cut me anything i want. i love it!

yarn!

have you ever been to one of those sales where they give you a brown bag and everything in it is like $10? do you think they make one of those bags big enough for all this great yarn wal mart just got in? not only is it triple stacked on the end cap but look at the picture....around the corner it is piled high up above all the other yarn.

nope...have no idea what i would do with all of it but wouldn't it be fun to have?!

dang dog

so i have these three dogs...this really does have something to do with stamping...and they are a pain in the butt! kosmo, the rottweiler, is the only behaved one (most of the time), but its only because he is a deputy sheriff (k-9) and has to obey the rules...although he can be a pain too (all 120lbs of him). the youngest of the bunch is oscar who is also the fluffy, cute one. don't let that fool you tho because he is actually dr. jekyl and mr. hyde reincarnated! then there is rex. she is a blue heeler and doesn't have any cows to herd so she attempts to herd us. she belongs to my son...who recently moved out...so i ask myself daily..and rex...why she is still here...SHE is the reason i am posting today.
last night i decided to make cookies with the sole purpose being so i could put one in my trick or treat wrap sample so you could see what i was thinking there. i left them on the counter to cool...with the usual "rex-proofing" that consists of stacking "stuff" along the counter so she cant reach her pointy nose to my cookies...well, IT DIDN'T WORK! she still got them! so i had to piece a couple cookies together for the picture..cussing the dang dog the whole time. today i am packing her bags for her and calling her father to come get her....which won't happen because his apartment can't have pets...i should have that policy here!

UPDATE-
from mom..."don't give poor rexie away....eating cookies is in her genes too"...so she should let rexie live with her! she loves going to visit grandma and running in her backyard during "doggie summer camp" while we go on vacation
