Manda's Mailbox Monday - Two RAK's

Lucky me. A mailbox full of pretty pink RAK's this week. I love pink. I am so a pink girl.

The first one is a RAK from Lauri in Toledo, OH. I just love getting mail from all over . . . it is so interesting to see all the different places and stamps . . . She sent it in a pretty pink envelope too! I just love the colors on this one. It is pink passion, pretty in pink, chocolate chip and just a hint of celery in that designer paper. I love the pairing of the designer paper with fun ribbon choices. This card truly inkspires me. Oh, and how could I not just LOVE the pretty flowers with princess jewel brads in the center. WOW! Thank you for brightening my day with this gorgeous card Lauri! You can visit Lauri's blog if you want some more fun inkspiration. Thank you for thinking of me Lauri!


This second RAK card is from another wonderfully talented stamper, Rachel B (rachelhope13) in Boise, ID. Seriously, this card is SO AMAZING in person. My photo did not capture all the little glittery spots in the flourishes, etc. WOW! Thank you so much for sending this to me Rachel! Each of those pink and red flowers was made using punches and laying them over one another. Clearly a lot of time and love was put into this pretty little card. I will treasure it. Thanks for your inkspiration in my mailbox. I just love it!

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...

ALMOST TO 50K

EDITED TO ADD: I go by my first name, not my middle. My first name is Amanda. *smiles* Also, I am going to keep this post bumped up to the top so people can find it, but I will be posting more, so please take a moment to scroll down to find the latest stuff -- this will stay up until 50K is reached. *************************** I am so amazed that so many people have been interested in little old stamping me. Okay, well, not me actually, probably mostly my work, but either way, I'm SUPER FLATTERED! I appreciate all the comments you leave me. They really do validate me and make me feel like I should keep on going with this blog. You all ROCK! So, I have decided to do a small giveaway to show my appreciation to you. I will have two separate contests. Both of these contests will win you blog candy (yummy embellishments, and other such fun stuff). The first one is to guess my middle name. You can post your guess as a comment to this post and then I will do a drawing of every...
