JoyOfStamping

I can’t believe how much this stamping world has touched my life. I am so lucky to have met so many amazing people that I can truly call friends. Life has been so crazy busy lately. I have not even had time to have “me time”. It was the first time in a long time that I felt “special”. This was an amazing birthday. I have never received so many e-mails and messages. I received so many amazing cards. WOW! I am a lucky gal!

It’s not about the “gifts” I received, but the friendships behind it. Stamping has really brought special people to my life. Reading Taylor’s Blog yesterday brought tears to my eyes. I am the lucky one to have her as a friend. Then, I went to visit Jami’s Blog and see this beautiful card and sweet blog post. THEN, I come home, and I see these beautiful flowers. Thank you Jenn and Beate! You have no idea how much this put a smile on my face and tears in my eyes. These flowers meant so much to me! WOW!

And look at this cute SMALL portion of what my dear friend Lana sent me! She always knows how to put a smile on my face! (pssst….. check out her blog. It’s amazing AND she’s giving away blog candy) Lana knows exactly what I like and always puts together the most amazing packages. She also has one of the biggest hearts. She can definitely crack me up! I am so lucky to have her as a friend.

Again, I am a lucky gal! Stamping has brought these wonderful people in my life….. and I am grateful that it has brought YOU into my life, too!!!!!!

It will be a while before my smile is wiped off my face!!!!!! THANK YOU!

I can’t believe how fast time is flying. Another month gone…. another year has gone by. I can’t even believe that its been almost a month since I have stamped…… Life has just been so super duper busy.

My sweet sister and brother threw me a little birthday party. I’m a big sports freak and I’ve been a Laker Fan since the Magic “Showtime” Lakers! So, they decided to do a Laker Themed party. Most everyone was decked out in their Laker shirts.

Here is my cute little nephew Andrew in his Laker Gear. Headband, wristband and all.

This is my brother’s middle child, Bryan. He’s got his Kobe MVP shirt on.

This is my brother-in-law’s brother all decked out in his Laker Jersey. I didn’t take too many pix last night or else I would have shared more. Maybe once I get my cousin’s camera downloaded, I can share more.

It was a VERY exciting game. The end of the game was controversial. But, of course, I was just glad that the Lakers won.

I’m hoping to be able to stamps soon. That will be my birthday gift to myself. LOL!

Till next time…….
