Out of the Box Stamping

   Hi crafty people! It's the last Monday of the month. I can't believe that January is almost over. My younger son's birthday is this week and he will be 27. They grow up so fast. I can't believe his son will be 1 year old in April! Let's get onto today's card.....

   Welcome everyone! It's finally Friday.....any plans this weekend? I think my husband and I are going on a little hike. When you suffer with any kind of chronic pain or debilitating disability you basically just survive one day to the next. Well, my word for the year is "Live" because I'm tired of just surviving and I want to live more. So my goal  is to do something each weekend weather permitting. Let's get onto today's card.....

   Hi crafty people! How is your week going so far? Can you believe that January is almost over??? 2020 has just started and the first month is almost over!

He is doing much better now and we are getting the tooth fixed. So it has been a roller coaster ride. Let's get onto today's card.....

     Hey crafty people! How is your New Year going so far? We were in California on vacation visiting family as we do every year. Then the next day my husband ended up in hospital with an abscess in his face. He spent the next 4 days there as they drained it and pumped him full of antibiotics. We had to extend our vacation a few extra days. It has completely healed up now and he is doing so much better.      Each month I get the privilege of  being able to participate in a fun blog hop with other Stampin' Up! demos from around the world to bring you some inspiration and motivation to get crafting. This month with the release of the new Mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogs I decided to use a new stamp/punch set. Here is my card.....
