Valentine Blues ...

I was asked by my BFF, Tootie (hey, girl!) to come up with a few card ideas that we could make together with a couple of HER BFF's last week. We had a GREAT time ... good food, good company ... and STAMPIN'!!

This is one of the samples I came up with. Wanna know something funny? Her one friend who had NEVER picked up a SINGLE stamp before was the first one done with all three of the cards we made ... and she did an AWESOME job, too!! Made me smile ... I think I may have ignited the "bug" in her ...


I spent most of yesterday cooking soup. My book group girlfriends came over and we talked and laughed and ate and listened to a FANTASTIC book review. Now, my house smells like onions, and garlic, and ginger, and cerrano chiles, AND a little bit of spicy sausage ... not a bad thing, right (I made three different soups, so that would account for the cacophony of smells!)???

And there are PLENTY of leftovers so I won't have to cook at ALL today!! YAY!!!
