Missed a day...

Oh well, so I missed a day! And, chances are not that great that I will get any stamping done today either, so I will share one of my creations from MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers group) this year. I made these for all of the gals in my discussion group for their birthdays. I also included a matching nugget tin with matching tag, which I will share on another day. I do love to accent with black! Those of you who know me well, know that TOO well!! In fact, for those of you who don't know me too well, I thought I would share a little info about myself....

First, I have to fess up....I'm a previous Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. In fact, I enjoyed a 10 year career with Stampin' Up! before I had to make the tough decision to quit. My husband's job has a bit of travel, and a lot of it is last minute, so it was really hard to keep up with the workshops and events with him being gone a lot. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life to make, but I do have to say that I am enjoying being able to just stamp for fun! I met some of the most AMAZING women through Stampin' Up! and I know a lot of them will remain life-long friends.

Now that THAT is out in the open, here are a couple of other items: I have been married for almost 11 years, have two adorable (on most days) sons - 8 and 4, stay home as a "job", volunteer in many church activities, am an active MOPS member, and love to stamp and scrapbook!

That's enough for now, here is the materials list for the above card...
