Happy Mail

Good morning peeps!

This is an early post today...I need to get ready to go out & spend the day with my hubby. He has a few days off & we're going to go spend the day at the Cape & enjoy this beautiful weather. I got some awesome happy mail & would love to share it with you today.

Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by!

OMG....look what I won from Michele Boyer's blog! I couldn't believe I won this fabulous case...it's a lot bigger than I thought but I LOVE it! Thanks again Michele!


Looks like I need to buy lots more copic markers to fill this baby up! I have enough to fill maybe 2 or almost 3 of these baskets...better start making a list of the ones I want...there goes my wallet!


I put some of my markers inside one of the mesh baskets so you could see what it looks like. I love this case!!!



Birthday card from my best friend Sandi, she doesn't have a blog but she makes such beautiful cards. Her style is with a needle & thread. I always look forward to receiving a hand made card from you Sandi. Love you & can't wait for you to move back to our neck of the woods.


close up....look at that detail, she does amazing work on her cards! Thanks Sandi, I love it!!!


Easter card from Gina. Thanks Gina


Happy stampin' peeps!

Happy Mail

Good mornin' to ya peeps!

First of all let me give thanks to all the service men and women who put their lives on the line every day for us so that we can enjoy the freedom of this great country of ours. I also thank all the families for their great sacrifices not just in modern day wars but of wars past as well. Thank you all so much, your are greatly appreciated, you are my Heroes.

Sorry I've been away for so long, my mojo took a vacation from blogging as well as crafting but I'm back. I had some cards to make & I also need to start a few projects for some gifts so I will be back to posting this week.

The summer has officially started & the weather has been gorgeous so we will be taking some day trips here & there all summer, so posting may not be every day. Dan & I went to P Town (Provincetown for you non Cape Coders)Thursday & enjoyed the day walking around & visiting the shops, its been many years since we've visited & it's still the same with a few modern changes. It looks like they are renovating a few of the old buildings which is very nice...I love old buildings and their amazing architecture don't you! We had some delicious fried clams at a place called Arnolds...boy were they good!!!

Here are some pictures of the blog candy I won awhile back & just got around to putting on my blog (sorry) I can't wait to play with these goodies. I will have some cards & projects to share with you this week so stay tuned. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by.


I won these amazing Anime stamps from InStyle stamps their "A Day in the Life" collection & let me tell you these stamps are so beautiful, I can't wait to play with them.



Sheer Shimmer Mist by Tsukineko in Gold, Pewter and Sparkle. I won this on Sally's blog, she's an amazing crafter...go take a look for yourself. Thanks Sally, I love it. I used the Sparkle on a few cards I made this weekend & oh my it's stunning!

I won some Blog Candy!

Hi everyone!

I'm making some progress with my wedding projects but it is slow going because there are so many layers to cut & emboss but I'm getting there...not much time now so I really have to hustle! Waiting on a few things to come in still but I'm keeping busy. I still have to make Jessica's card & a little picnic basket for a small gift that I'm giving her since she already got her birthday gift last month. I bought her a Jessica Simpson White purse & she only had 1 month to use it before she has to put the white away till next year that's why she got it early.

I'm having a reaction from a Tetanus (Tdap) vaccine that I had last Wednesday. My arm got itchy while taking a shower yesterday & I got a rash, thought nothing of it for a few hours but while driving to my daughter's salon I noticed it swelling a bit & its sore. When I got home I called the nurse from Blue Cross & she couldn't figure it out but told me to keep an eye on it & take Advil. It looks the same today no better but no worse, I figured I would wait till tomorrow to see how it is then decide if I should call my doctor. I may call anyway just to let them know that I had a reaction. I can't believe it took 1 week to have a reaction, it has to be from the shot because its only on that arm where the shot was given. Anyone else ever have a delayed reaction to something. I'm feeling fine otherwise. Well we shall see tomorrow.

I'll have a few things to post that I made this week that were non wedding related so stay tuned for that. That's all folks, have a great evening & thanks for stopping by today!


This ribbon from SU is so pretty, I love the new in-colors! Thanks Deanna! Go on over to her blog she is Super talented & so inspiring!

I'm still cleaning & haven't made any cards lately but I did make a purse from Lauren Meader's Limitless Templates from Papertrey & it came out awesome, I luv it! Will post that sometime next week. I also received a few awards from Kyoko that I will post next week as well. I hope you all enjoy your weekend & have a Great Mother's Day!!!

Birthday RAK from Jen!

My good friend Jen sent me this awesome birthday RAK...wow Jen, this is too much girl (but I luv it), thank you so much! As always you put a big smile on my face whenever I receive a card from you, you have a big heart girlfriend! I have spoken to Jen on the phone a few times & I luv her Hawaiian accent! I could listen to her all day, she makes me smile.

Jen was one of the very first people I met online & became one of my very dear blogging friends. I have known Jen now for 2 years & she actually helped me with something that I was having trouble with (I'm not computer savy ya know) when I was setting up my blog at the very beginning & the rest as they say is history! I am much better at it now in part thanks to Jen for giving me the courage to try new things & to expand my horizons! Thanks so much Jen & Happy Mother's Day to you kiddo!!! Luv ya!

Hi everyone!

It's a sunshiny day & it's 46 degrees outside...nice & warm here in Massachusetts! At least it's not freezing like last week, so things could be worse, I'm looking on the bright side!

I just found it in one of my folders on my computer & realized I forgot to post it! I've already used it & I luv it, Thank you so very much.

Happy Mail

BOO!!!!
Happy Halloween everybody! Hope your giving lots of candy away to all the little goblins out there tonight. As for me there are only 5 houses on my street & all our kids are grown. The new owners of the house across from me (they have been there for 5 years now)have a child in middle school & the others are in high school so they do parties & don't go door to door so this is the 3rd year that we have had no kids. We buy a few bags of candy anyway just in case, you never know, plus it give us an excuse to eat the candy later when no one shows up, hehehe!!!

I received some blog candy that I won the other day over at Mary's blog (It's all about the Journey) today. Go visit her blog she's one talented lady. Thanks again Mary, I luv it all! That package sure did get here fast, she picked the winner on Monday & I received it today, but then again she only lives in New Hampshire which is next door to Massachusetts.

Well thanks for stopping by tonight & I will have some cards for you tomorrow. Take care, don't let the ghosts & witches get you!!!

Hugs...Rita
