Summer is almost over

Happy almost FALL everyone!!!

Wow, this has been, by far, the busiest summer for me in years and years. I thought I could 'do it all' but my hubby convinced me otherwise and we had a long talk and I finally made the decision to let go of several long term commitments just to keep my stress level at bay and my commitment to myself about getting healthier this year. (More on that in another post)

I unsubbed a lot of Yahoogroups and lurked on others and I also had to quit or curtail many 'real life' commitments, including a stamp club I had formed a couple of years ago with friends. It was a very hard decision for me to make but I was confident that the gals in the club would continue to get together and stamp, they didn't need me there to spur them on. But, still....it was a really hard decision and I miss seeing them.

Anyway, back to blogging. It is one of the fun things I love doing so hopefully I am back to doing it on a regular basis again.

I have so much to share about this summer, the activities I was able to take part in ...including WAG.

I'll leave you with a fun project I did for WAG (Western Angel Gathering). I got the original idea from my good buddy, Rita Holmes who got it from someone else...who probably got it from someone else...you know how that goes......but, I just changed it up a bit with punches etc. I also taught it for a group of ladies at a camping rally. They had a lot of fun making them, too.

Have a fantastic day!!!
And, remember...take care of YOU first!!! Hugs, Char

What fun!

The FUNshop was FUN FUN FUN! We did a cute golf tee holder using TAC's "FORE" golf set and one of the papers from TAC's "Sands of Time" Soar with it Collection.  Since the majority of the stampers were also golfers, they loved this idea.

I got the idea from Scor Pal's website.  Thanks to Rita Kegg for this idea!  

I let them choose which image they wanted to use from the set.  It was watching them all make them different.  They have decided this would be a fun project for one of their luncheons.The next card we did was really simple using "Every day Events" from the TAC catalog and TAC MM cardstcok.  This card actually came about because I was trying to come up with another idea and just couldn't seem to get it to 'come' together.  I had all these punched out shapes and while I was standing there .....I started laying out the punched shapes and came up with a simple card.  Who would have thunk???  Sometimes, simple is best ;-)

Remember, just a few more days till I draw a winner for the TAC set, mentioned a few days earlier.  Remember to leave a comment on that post to be entered in the drawing.

Have a Great day!
