Sharing.....Get a grab box!!

Hi Friends,   I received a grab box that I ordered from The Crafts Meow today.  For $20+ shipping, this box was loaded with great goodies....Buttons, beautiful lace, beads, flowers, papers in both 12 x 12 & 6 x 6 inches!  Click on the link and go check it out!  I got a really fabulous box!  Hugs Lori

I just can't decide.& a funny thing!!

Hi my sweet stamping friends,  well I have so many things I want to share with you, that I can't decide what, so I will share 3 things with you!

1st. The camera issue....I went to 2 Staples yesterday and no one had a cord that would work on my camera. Well I got peeved and bought this....

Beautiful little Nikon!  Well, here is the funny....while unpacking the box, I pulled out the cord and looked at it........noooooo!   It fits my Olympus!!!!!  Can you beat that with a stick or what?  I was so jazzed!  I was finally able to empty the Olympus and now I have 2 cameras.  I think hubby will get the Olympus to use because this little Nikon does so much more and has a touch screen.  I have to find the instruction book to the Olympus now because it has been so long since I used it, that I forgot how to do some things, like set the time.  For some reason the date is messed up.  I wonder if that has to do with the year changing?

Anyway I have a lot of learning to do with both cameras.  I bought an extra memory chip for the Nikon and may actually be able to do a video.  Must learn a lot about that 1st though.

The 2nd thing I wanted to share with you is my pride & joy....the first thing I bought when I got my disability check....

A 2003 Toyota Sienna Van.  It is in perfect condition and I just love it!  It holds all my great stamping purchases real well.  LOL!

Now for the 3rd thing.......Finally some artwork!  I know you may be sick of Christmas, but these have been stuck in my camera to share with you, so I hope you don't mind.  They are the cards that I made for Christmas and the first cards I made in over a year.

The image I used was a Gina K Designs free digi.  I really liked it and I used my new Spellbinders lace circle die.  The rest is stuff I have had for years and can't remember where I got them!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your visit and thank you for coming by!  I have so much more to share with you, but I would bore you at some point.  Hopefully I will have fresh artwork soon.  I am in the middle of an organizing mess right now.  Tomorrow I will share something fabulous I found yesterday for storage.  I think you will like them.

Have a good evening!  Hugs Lori

Update on Camera Cord......went to Olympus web site and found cord, but wouldn't you know it.....It is OUT OF STOCK!  ARG!!!  I will take camera on Wednesday to Staples  (hubby's day off) to see if the generic one they have will work on my camera.  Also, left a request on Olympus to notify me when in stock.  I have pretty much gone over everything in this room and it is no where to be found!  I even prayed to our finder of lost things (Jesus) to help me find it.  Still not found!  I can't wait to get that camera cord, so I can have Blog Candy too!!

For the next few (probably weeks),  I will be working on cleaning & organizing my space, but if I can find some art work in my files that I have not posted, I will post for you to see!

Also, besides winning blog candy, I got 2 nice size orders today from Papertrey and Stampsimply ribbon store!  Oh boy....Stamps, dies and a bunch of paper!  The stamps & dies are the ones that the dies go with the stamps and some are the dies that go with Justrite stamps with the blocks!  It is a goodie kind of fun day!  Weeeeee!  Now tonight while hubby is on pc, I will be playing with my goodies!

I am so excited to get back to my stamping.....I have been away much to long!!!  I miss all my stamping buddies!!!  :))

Yall have a wonderful day friends!!  Hugs Lori

Hi Friends,  Happy Sunday!  Just thought I would check in, say hello & give an update, so that you don't think I have disappeared again.  I'm still here...yay1!!  No Camera cord though :((  All I can think of is that I accidentally threw it away!   The reason I am thinking this, is that I spent all day yesterday trying to rearrange my stamp room/office!  Oh my goodness...what a job!!  You never realize how much stuff you have until you try to move it......WHAT A PACK RAT I AM!!!!  You would not believe what I have thrown away.  I save stuff of all kinds....Packaging, containers...blah,blah, blah!!!  Well I have had to toss a lot of it.  While I like the new arrangement, IT DOES NOT LIKE ME!!!  I am really struggling to get everything to fit and I have less in here (not much) than I did before.  I still have not finished putting it all back......Geez, everything is soooo dang dusty!  I have had to clean just about everything!  I am just glad that I store all of my papers to protect them.  I still have enough to do in here to keep me busy for a month...working on it every day!

Well the good part about this is when I can get a cord for camera.....I will be having a big blog candy!  I am thinking of a contest!  What do think?  A hint....1 part is a fabulous Tim Holt die that I got a duplicate of recently.  I knew it was a duplicate when I bought it, but the deal was on e-bay and it was 3 dies for a great price and I really wanted the other 2.  I just figured it would be good for blog candy.  If I find to much stuff, I may split into 2 Candies!  I intend to get a camera cord in the next day or so.  I will see if I can get one from Olympus online today,  I know Staples has a generic one, but I don't know if it will work on my camera.  Here is the problem.....Since I had 2 seizures (still sore, bruised & paying for them), I cannot drive for 6 months, so I have to get someone to take me to shop!!  UGH!!!  I hate not having my independence!

On the health issue.....haven't had any more seizures, thank the good Lord.  I have huge bruises all over from the last one!  It was the worst one I have ever had and hubby says that it lasted for about 15 minutes, which is a long time.  You know the awkward part about this, is that we had visitors when this happened.........HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!  They saw the whole thing...no dignity left here!  I had a lot of factors that caused this one though, one being the stress of the above visitors.  We haven't heard a word from them since!  LOL!  All in all though, except for feeling like I took a really bad beating, I have been feeling better this last week.

I've had tons of fun shopping online lately too!  Bought a bunch of Nestibilities, Tim Holtz & a couple of generic dies and a bunch of. Cuttlebug folders.  Since I have more than 5,000 stamps (lost count), I need to concentrate on things to jazz my cards up!  Anyway, ordered lots of stuff (On the way), bling, tools, papers, etc.  Now I just have to figure out where to put it all!!  LOL!  Don't you just love all these stunning craft rooms you see in blog land!  EAT MY HEART OUT!!!  Unless I have some sort of miracle happen, mine will never look that good....LOL!

Well sweet friends.....I know I have blathered on and on and could keep going here, but I am rambling and will close for now.  I have tried to make this post upbeat & happy...hope you caught that!  :))  With my closing I leave  you with a picture of my beautiful Grandson Dylan on the John Deere tractor I bought him!  He is such a happy "Little Man" and I hope & pray I will get to meet him someday! 

May the good Lord Bless you all with a wonderful day!  Love & Hugs Lori
