MOJO 104 - Autumn Is a Second Spring (for Skipping Stones Design)

Hey remember me? I know, I know, look what the cat dragged in right? I just left you all hanging there for such a long time -- but life has a way of getting crazy. But, the good news is, I AM BACK and just in time for my favorite holiday!

I just LOVE this time of year. The summer death heat is finally over here in AZ, and the temperatures are more mild but not cold -- perfect fof BBQ's and getting outdoors. Truly here in AZ, Autumn is a second spring -- it certainly feels like it.

I have some fun news -- SKIPPING STONES DESIGN are opening their doors again, a grand re-opening (complete with a new website, and they have some AMAZING new stamps that I just know you are going to just want SO bad.) I am having so much fun playing with them . . . oooh, you just wait. Some are funny, some are cheeky, some are just fun seasonal images for you to love.

Currently, to get the latest news, you can join their facebook fan page or check out their website: http://skippingstonesdesign.com/. I know Heather is planning some monthly releases, a design team, and weekly sketches. YAY!

Here is a sample of her Autumn Set called "Thanksgiving." I hope you like what I have created. I also hope to see you back here soon to see some more awesome sets.

Stamps: Thanksgiving (Skipping Stones Designs) Paper: Chocolate Chip (SU!), Fall Leaves (Adornit - Carolees Creations), More Mustard (SU!), Only Orange (SU!), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah), Brown Houndstooth (Unknown) Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic (SU!)

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.

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...
