Wacky Wednesday

Today is Wednesday, which brings to mind Hump Day or Wacky Wednesday. It was my goal to put up a wacky thought and see what becomes of it as a scrapbooker...but I received word today from a childhood friend, who I don't get to see very often, that her mother passed away yesterday. Margie Fassbender was truly the "coolest" mom ever. She was a bit older than most of our moms, having my friend later in life after she had thought she was done having kids. Whenever I got lucky enough to stay at her house for the night or go there after school, Mrs. Fassbender was the sweetest, most coolest mom ever, letting us giggle til the wee hours of the morning. So with a heavy heart, I am going to change Wacky Wednesday this week to just plain Wednesday. I cannot bring myself to make anything creative right now but will post a layout dedicated to Lynn and her mom sometime this weekend. Happy Scrappin my friends.

Stamp inventory list

So I was going thru my stamp sets to prepare for my annual sale, and boom, guess how many doubles I had?!! Yep, at least 4 or 5 sets that I have bought at least twice. Uh, can we say duh?! Later on that same day I was on CTMHs bulletin boards and craziness...another consultant posted a complete retired and present stamp inventory listing on there! Wow, perfect timing. If I can figure out how to upload the file to the blog, I will. If you cannot find it, please just leave me a message and I will email you a copy!!

Monday Musings

Friends...what does that word mean to you? For me, there are some friends whom I haven't seen since 8th grade and others I see almost every week. And those whom I don't speak to very often except with the help of Facebook, still are cherished friends. One of those long-distance friends, Jackie, who lives in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, and I finally met after years of talking on FB this month at CTMH's convention. What a nice surprise to meet a pal so far away and have a nice chat (although quick) and a hug. So this card is for Jackie, one of my farthest away pals, who couldn't be Closer to My Heart! Whose name popped in your head that you need to reconnect with?! Send them the card below and brighten their day.
