Savor the Journey

Hi y’all! Yep, it’s me!  I’m out here in the studio “dusting off” a few things, making a cozy spot for some stamping after a bit of a traveling hiatus.  I haven’t edited my travel photos yet, but I will share if I find any to be of interest to stampy friends.   New things have [...]

Well, I just might have found them!  Where, you ask? ~ ~ Are they here?  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ********************************** ~ ~ ~ ~ Or perhaps they’re here?  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ohhhhhhhh … you lost some really BIG marbles? I see … … … ~ ~ ~ [...]

Hi friends! I received an amusing phone call from my son and I’d like to share the ‘story’ with you.   As a Town Councilman where my son (DS) lives, he volunteers in several capacities around town.  This year, DS took over the duties of playing ‘Santa’ for the City, and for the Fire Department there.  Before you [...]

If you’re a fan of SplitcoastStampers (SCS), then you’re probably familiar with the weekly challenges.   Wednesdays bring us a new weekly sketch, so here’s my version of the SC258 challenge.  This one was created as a cheer for a brand new design team!     My variance from the sketch was to change the rectangles to Labels Two [...]

Double-Doozie?  It’s time for a rare-from-me ‘double-post’ today!   I have so much to share … so here goes! ************************************************************************************ “A Day of Great Blessings” It was on Easter Sunday that my immediate family learned that we were ‘expecting’ a new baby, supposedly in about 2 weeks.  As you know, “timing” can be surprising on its [...]

That’s right!  We actually had a bit of snow here!    Not that we ‘never’ have snow … we might get 1 or 2 little “dustings” during the winter.  But “this” is Fall!  It’s not January … and here it came in a sudden hurry, as if it was sneaking outside before Mother Nature found out!    I just happened to [...]

Guardians Tag Ministry  It’s a day for reflection.  My heart hurts for those who lost their lives on September 11.  I was teaching 1st grade here in Texas, and received a message from the Assistant Principal to please come to the office during the time when my students would be in music class.  It was [...]

Good Morning, Friends!  I’m just popping in to wish all of you a most blessed Sunday!  I plan to spend it with my family … actually, I’ll be blessed with 3 little ones later today & tonight … and in my opinion, this is a “gooooood thing”!     I’ve already got a stampin’ creation in [...]

Hi all! After a 5:00 a.m. wake up, and a morning flight to DFW, I’m back at home!  I haven’t prepped pictures yet, but there are definitely plenty of pics to come.   I hope you’re all having a blessed weekend! ~

Hello Everyone!   I’m happy to finally get some photos edited to share with you from CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) in Orlando.   Although I arrived here on Sunday, it seems like it has been a whirlwind of fellowship with friends and fun on a non-stop basis.  I have so many photos to share, but will [...]

Have you ever held onto a secret so long that it feels really strange to finally get to share it?   That’s how it feels right now … almost like I need to double-check to be sure this is okay to say!  (Actually … I did double-check a little while ago!  Whew!)  Congratulations, Jessica!   Bright & [...]

I apologize …  I haven’t been in the studio for days.  A little bit of a ‘curve ball’ in my plans, but never fear, I will be back …  ;) 

At last, my shoes are ‘off’, my photos are edited, and I’m left with a huge smile on my face.  The weekend was a treasure, complete with friends, my DD & GD joined in for some of the sightseeing and enjoyment.  For quite a long time, I’ve hoped one day to welcome our eclectic Paperie [...]

Hi there, everyone!   I’m just jotting down a quick “Howdy”, to let you know that I’ll have some fun pics to share with you here at Savor the Journey later this weekend.  Many times, I keep my blogging to weekdays, but this will be an exception.          Adios for now … hope y’all have a [...]

Hi everyone!  Here’s wishing a Fabulous Friday to each of you today! Alas, I have no project to share today, nor do I have a photo or 2 or 3 to share.  I confess … a hands-free day at a scrapping/stamping convention is much more fun!  So, I spent Thursday in Arlington, TX at the Great [...]
