ODBD Free Shipping Weekend & Clear Dollar Stamps Dec. Sneak Peek

Hi everyone! First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your words of sympathy and prayers. We laid my Dad to rest Nov. 17 and he is missed each and every day. The holidays will not be the same without him, but I know he is celebrating with us in spirit.....

I am playing catch up with my design team commitments and they have been very understanding and patient.

Great news! Our Daily Bread Designs is offering FREE SHIPPING this weekend so make sure to take advantage of it! If you haven't visited ODBD lately make sure to check out the newest sets!

************************************************************************************
This sneak peek is for a new stamp set called Asian Plants and will be available Dec. 1 from Clear Dollar Stamps. We were asked to create a gift ensemble and Laurie (our DT coordinator) was extremely patient while I put this together, which was way past the deadline. I used the new Basic Grey Wassail paper pad that is currently available at CDS.

Again, thank you for your patience. I will be back to blogging regularly after Thanksgiving. Until then, I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

With a heavy heart I have to say my much beloved father-in-law passed away Monday, November 10. He fought long and brave for six months, battling pancreatic cancer. With everything he had to endure, he continued to do what he has always done....look out for us. I was so blessed to have had the honor of having a wonderful man be my dad for the last 10 years and even more blessed to have been by his side when his beautiful spirit left his body to enter into Paradise.

You will forever be in our hearts. I MISS YOU, DAD.............................................

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - would you like a snack?

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to wish everyone a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Here are my boys in their costumes that I made!

Final Sneak Peeks for ODBD, CDS and Pink Papery Studios - WHEW!!

It's always exciting unveiling the samples we create for sneak peeks because some of us have had them done a couple of weeks prior to posting them on our blogs...we're just forced to hold off on sharing them. Forced....sounds so wrong, doesn't it? As if we are forced to be lucky enough to be able to work with the stamp sets first!

I'll keep my posts simple - photos, recipes and links. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible. I'll be away this weekend to be with family so I won't be able to answer them until Monday. Again, thanks to all of you for keeping my FIL in your prayers...they are truly appreciated!!
