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

Snowman Card

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm sooo excited that my RED SOX won the World Series, Yippee!!!!!!!!! Did you watch last night? What a great game. The Rockies are a great team & their time will come, I have no doubt about that...so watch for them in the coming years! In 2004 the Red Sox broke the curse & won that trophy for our parents who waited about 86 years for a World Series win & this win was for the team & their current younger fans & we are all so pleased. Thank you RED SOX!!!

Well on to the card at hand, here is a card that I really enjoyed making. I used the new CM Snow Flake Punch & used it for the background on the dark blue paper with the white showing through it. I luv the way it looks.
Well have a great Monday night everyone & happy stamping all!!!

Hugs...Rita

Hi ladies,

Well I finally got around to making a card with the Bella images that Jen sent, & I love the way it came out. I don't have any Bellas so Jen sent me some, she's just the best!!! I can't wait to get me some Bellas, I love them...do you hear that Dan, Jessica, Marc??? You can remedy that for me ya know...hint, hint, Christmas is coming real soon so keep that in mind! Nothing like a BIG hint for my family. Hahaha!!! Well anyway here's my card, hope you like.

By the way please keep Deb from Stampingranny in your thoughts & prayers. She was evacuated from her home early this morning due to the San Diego fires. She is safe & staying with a friend, but is worried about her house. Hopefully this will all be over soon & homes will be spared. Good luck Deb.
