THURSDAY AGAIN

Today I was feeling kinda blah! I needed to go shopping for a present for a birthday party that E is going to, so I went to Target. Mmmmm, I love Target. I did the "traditional" browse the $1 spot. I was looking for the mailboxes for a friend, but no luck. We did find a Sleeping Beauty doll and a cute scooter and shirt set. E really likes what we got. Next we went to JoAnn's because I wanted to see if I could score some of the Rhonna Farrer stamps I had heard about and I did in fact find some, but the selection was really "picked over." I bought three of them and three other wooden $1 stamps and decided to try and look at another JoAnn's. I had no luck at the other JoAnn's store I went to, but I did remember that I was close to my favorite stamp store. So, we went to it. I usually do not go there with my kids because it is one of those stores that my kids could actually wreck everything, but they were amazingly well behaved and I found some Karen Foster Snap Stamps for a really reasonable price, as well as I got some EZ Mount Stamp and Store Foam, and a plain square stamp that was being clearanced out for 1/2 price. Oh, and I bought my first bottle of diamond Stickles. I fully intend to use that soon! There were some gorgeous Penny Black stamps that were just in and I was really tempted, but J got bored right then and I had to leave because he was cranky and I did not want him to wreck stuff . . . so maybe next time. On the way home we stopped at Ceretta's Candy Co. and went in for a sample. I figured if we all got Sugar free and just one each, it was not that bad of an indulgence and would not totally destroy my diet and exercise. E and J were so excited! They had so much fun picking out which one to try.

So, if you are wondering where I was and why no new uploads . . . there you have it. I was taking a procure new stamping materials day *smiles* I am sure you can appreciate that.

POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING: Oh, and for all you Grey's Anatomy fans . . . how good was that show tonight eh? It made me laugh, cry and shake my fist at the screen. I am so glad that Alex and Addi are hooking up! They match well. I wonder how Izzy will take that. I am glad that the surgery went well with the patient Izzy donated the money for. How cool is that? I am sad that George's dad had to die, and I wonder how he will do with it. I really hope he clings to Callie because I just love them together. I think it was cool to see Cristina talk to him about it at the end. It is always nice to see that she is human. Meredith cracks me up . . . I loved her conversation with dear old daddy. Too funny! All in all, I love this show and cannot wait till next week. I haven't been so addicted to a show since "Friends" and "90210" -- lol!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...
