Stamp Of The Month

Betsy's Blossoms

Here's a peak at one of the projects included in the Club Kit this month...

This month club members made four projects AND they took home the fun and versatile stamp set Betsy's Blossoms.  

Next month's featured stamp...

Lovely As a Tree!!!

This stamp set has been around a long time.  It's a classic!  Normally I would not pick something that many of you may already own, but through the request of my club members....here it is!  Remember, if you want to join the club but already own the club's featured set (like Lovely As a Tree) you can replace the stamp set with other Stampin' Up! products that combine to the same price (if you go over you will just pay the difference).  It's EZ to have it your way.  Come Join The Fun!

Sunday School

Sunday School

to inspire your Spirit

As a Christian, I choose not to work on Sunday.  Although my blog is scheduled and I am not actually creating this post today; I still have a strong belief that we all need to take a break for the Sabbath Day.  Each week my Sunday post will change from inspiring your creativity, to inspiring your spirit.  I hope you enjoy the messages presented here each week.

Today’s Message is:  America The Beautiful

Happy Independence Day America!

A few days late!

Come back tomorrow for more creative ideas . . . 

Where’s Karie Been?

You may have noticed that I have not posted here in many days.  Well, it’s not because I don’t like to stamp LOL.  But it was because I did get a bit bogged down with added hours at my ‘other’ job, a few house repair issues, running my Stampin' Up! business, and keeping my blog up to date...and it  left me suddenly feeling like I needed to be Wonder-Woman.  Naturally, because I knew I would not look good in her costume, it caused me a little stress…to say the least! 

I turned to prayer and found all that I needed was to simply take a break.  I couldn’t take time off from my ‘other’ job, but I could take a break from all the other “To Do” list items in my life…so I did!  I have to tell you that it felt wonderful.  I just enjoyed the days and spent much more time sitting and talking with my sweet husband.  And then . . .

I had an Epiphany!

I needed to rearrange my priorities.  I want to continue to spend more time with my sweetheart and more time in my faith. This means that I will need to cut back in other areas of my life, i.e.; my business.  So, as much as I love to blog, I am no longer going to stress about having a post every single day.  I will post as much as I possible, but it will rarely be daily….I hope everyone is OK with that.  After all, how many of you feel that you have to read my post daily?   ….that’s what I thought.  LOL

Another thing I am going to do on my blog is to not freak out about using only 100% current Stampin’ Up! products.  I am too far behind on my personal scrapbooking and I have been holding on to some really awesome retired papers that I want to use in them.  Since I want to start scrappin’ more, as part of my new epiphany strategy,  I thought you might not mind if I use some retired stuff now and then.  After all it’s the ideas I am sharing more than anything else.  So...just as our Great Country celebrates it's independence...I am declaring my Independence from Stress!

I hope you are all fine with my new way of blogging and will continue to come back for ideas, videos, and Sunday inspirations. 

Until Next Time…
