Hi all!! Whew!! Yesterday was a bad day for me, and I am so glad it's over! I have not had such a horrible day in a long time, and hope not to repeat it for awhile! Without going into detail, let's just say that living too close to family is not always such a wonderful thing....uggghhhh!!!! Here is hoping for a better day today! So, I am teaching my card class tonight and wanted to share with you this cute little monkey card we are going to be making!! I was not planning on using this set, but when several of the gals at the workshop on Saturday(who signed up for this class) were going crazy for this set in the catty, well, I have to demo it, don't I?? *wink* They are such a fun group, I am looking forward to tonight! So, I am off to have coffee with my SIL, then finish up last minute things for tonight and oh, of course, play with my new rubbah that came yesterday - I got my Holiday Mini preorder - yeah, baby!!! So, I will be sharing some samples of the new stamps very soon!! Enjoy your day, I'll be back with something new tomorrow!Card Recipe:
Paper - Bashful Blue, Bayou Blue, Real Red, Whisper White card stock, Summer Picnic Designer Series paper
Inks - Brown Stazon, Old Olive, Bayou Blue, Real Red Stampin' Classic Stampin' pads, Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker
Stamps - Sock Monkey
Accessories - Small Oval Punch, Old Olive Brad, Stampin' Dimensionals, Bashful Blue narrow grosgrain ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch, Blender Pen
****I have to tell you, the boxes of stuff started to arrive yesterday and my postal lady is amazed at the story when I told her why she (poor soul) would have to schlep all these boxes to my postal box daily - LOL! Thanks to all of you - I will giving them all to her early next week as she is leaving to go out of town for the weekend (according to her dh) so that will give me time to put it in some semblance of order, make a card, put everyone's name in it, and get it over there!!! Smooches to you all - I {heart} you and your generosity!!!!****

This card is adorable! I absolutely love it! That image just makes me smile! My youngest daughter thinks sock monkeys are totally cool!
Sorry to hear that you had a bad day! I would love to help with the collecting of the items. I have things that I can send, however, I'm not sure when I can get around to going through it all. I'll contact you if I get time this week. That's a really sweet thing for you to do.
OH gosh girl, I'm sorry that you had a bad day yesterday. I do know what you mean about living close to family...there are pros and cons to everything...ugh eh?!
Cute card...I haven't jumped on the sock monkey set yet...but it is growing on me. I have so much stuff now that I've had some good restraint...if I don't NEED it...then I don't order it...it's working so far...lol

I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad day. I miss my family--mom and sisters live in Southern US and I'm in Canada. When I'm visiting with them I do think "thank goodness I'm in Canada." Sad really, but aint that the truth--LOL. Your card is so cute. Have fun with your class.
Hugs,
