It's The Most Wonderful Time of Year-NOT! LOL

Here's a videoI got from my friend Hope.  She always loves to see this time of year roll around for her sister and I since we work together at a school. See how nice Hope is to us won't you?



Here's a song by Chris Tomlin that I couldn't get out of my head last night and today. It's called Name of Jesus.    Take a listen:

Here's my card for today's color challenge on SCS.  The colors were blushing bride, wisteria wonder and sand.  I stamped in wisteria and added sand around the edges with a sponge.  Next I stamped blushing bride paper with that same ink.  I did the same with wisteria. I added versamark to each and iridescent ice to give the cut outs some sparkle.  Next I added rhinestones and a pearl.  I added a wisteria ribbon and bow to it.
I went to a meeting this morning with a few ladies who want to make cards and sell them to benefit Remember Nhu. They support a home in Taiwan where teen girls live and learn job skills so they can support themselves and not end up in the sex trade which is usually done because the girls are sold by their family since they are so poor.  It is a great feeling to know that we're going to continue to add money which will help them by doing somethin we LOVE to do!
The only thing better than that would be to have someone pay US to stamp! LOL
Thanks for visiting.  One week and I'll be back in the classroom.
I spent from 11:30 to 4 at work helping the office count items that have come in.  We compare what was ordered and what was sent.  Then we label it so it can be sent to the classroom that ordered it.
Blessings,

I really need to pick up some of these new SU! colors. So pretty! I especially like Blushing Bride, I think. Love the sparkle on your flower. Cute Staples commercial and pretty song. It's nice that you share the things that are meaningful to you.
