You have until Sunday, May 10th to submit your entries and the final judges decision will be posted on Friday May 15th on Hannah's blog.
You need to use Hannah's sketch as well as the russian doll stamp (if you have it). All decisions are final, no whinning but all bribes will be accepted and considered. Best of luck to everyone.

Yay Mail!!!

Today I received 2 packages one from Hero Arts and another from a flickr friend in Australia.

the first package was a giveaway prize, which I admit I was a little impatient about, I even embarrassed myself by posting a topic on flickr about wanting it : ) Here is the goodies HA sent me.

My Mom was as excited as me when I opened it. Almost forgot, all the above items are available at http://www.heroarts.com/

The second package came from my new friend Paula from Aussie Land She and I have been conversing back and forth for about a month and she offered to stamp some images on paper and send them all the way to the United States! she also sent me an adorable card she made and two postcards, I did not take a picture of the stamps she sent me because there about 20 sheets, but...
Here are the 2 postcards, isn't joey cute!

and this is a card she made for me, the colors are so bright and cheery it just made my day.

So Paula and Hero Arts, I want to say Thank You for such Kind Generosity.
Thank's for Reading

So Busy

Phew I've been so busy (again) its getting hard to keep up with this blog : )
I shall start with Friday the 3rd.

Last week I did a lot of work: First I mowed my parents Lawn which is pretty big, my older brother used to do it, but doesn't have time anymore :(
Then My little sis begged to sleep outside in my tent, so we did that and almost froze,(the temp went down to 30) then after eating a late breakfast I stained her(my little sisters) entire playset till my hands were so numb I couldn't feel them and went directly to my grandparents around 6:45 at night, and alost fell asleep doing their lawn, I was so tired I went to sleep in the basement on Grandma's couch, I woke up(Sunday Morning) much refreshed but my hands still numb, and after attending church I went home and tried to relax which gets hard when their is 2 babys in the house.


Next comes Monday and I check out what the challenge will be at Hero Arts only to find out I'm not to use paper, NOT USE PAPER? boy this one will actually be quite hard because I've never stamped on anything but paper!..... But I found a wooden tray I thought would be perfect and covered it(literally) in stamps here is the finished project;

And surfing through my Flickr group's I found a picture of some Ladys art space and liked how she hung her cards up above her area, so I was inspired to try it and Loved what came of it
I took 3 long strands of yarn and stapled it to the wall on each end and tied the access string in a double knot to secure it and hung up my cards.
Well it's Wednesday already, and I just finished mowing a neibhors lawn and I soon as I finish here, I'm going to rest then help make dinner and see who gets kicked off American Idol.
Cya Later

Time to party!

Oops missed two days, I will explain.

I was partying all day about the party the day before : ) with my online friends( does this make sense to you) and I found myself and a few others winners of grand surprise giveaways and will be repeating the parties all week most likely. By the way the party was for Hero Arts 1st Anniversary of their blog. I enjoy entering their weekly challenges.

Here is one I did for this weeks challenge "onelayer"

the challenge is about keeping things simple and not adding layers and layers of paper, you wouldn't believe how hard it really is!

I know this is kind of random but.... I hope to start interveiwing some of the wonderful artists and putting it here on my blog. Like the one and only Deborah Nolan! she is a great interviewer and very funny! you can view her blog here.

Thanks for looking
