SCACD Blog Hop!

Hello my crafty friends! Are you getting as many storms and tornado's as we are? One day the sun is shinning brightly and bammm then we are getting hit with Tornado warnings. My prayers to all the families who felt the brutality of them for so many lost of lives.

On a happier note today we are having a  blog hop for two vault releases by Victoria Case for SCACD Stamp Store and they are the cutest fairy stamps!! When I received Spa Time Fairy I couldn't wait to color her up! She is the sweetest fairy taking a spa bath in a tea cup!!  Imaginations are endless what you could make with this sweetie!   Did you know there is a recipe for Chocolate Lover's Milk Bath and it exfoliates and soften your skin!?! No kidding and here it is!!!

Chocolate Lover's Milk Bath Mix
2 cups of powered Milk
1/4 cup cocoa
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon

I will be mixing this together and placing it in a glass jar. Place a piece of fabric around the top,  secure it with ribbon or rubber band and will attache this card to it! It is going to make a sweet awesome birthday gift for a friend of mine!

 My pleasure to share with you Spa Time Fairy! Isn't she just adorable?

 
SCACD stamps for Our international friends can be purchased at:  Quixotic Paperie

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hope all of you have a bright and cheerful weekend!

Happy Birthday!

Hello!! So we bought a new bed 2 1/2 months ago and thank goodness it allows you to return it within 90 days. And that is exactly what we did last night!  It is one of the hardest beds I have ever slept in. It is a Sealy posturepedic  latex foam bed. Don't buy it!!! It costs 2,500.00 for a king size bed. You ask what did that buy us? Tossing and turning all  night long, wake up feeling tired and in lots of pain.  So we are exchanging it for a tempur-pedic Supreme Cloud for an additional 1,200l. I cannot believe we are paying this much for a mattress!! However, I talked myself into it! Where do you spend 1/3 of your life? In bed! If you wake up hurting and a lousy sleeps night...your miserable day after day. It is warranty for 20.00 years and mite resistant. I read comments where people feel you are sleeping on a cloud and lets hope I do!! I suffer from severe insomnia and when I do sleep...I want to deep sleep and wake up with no pain!! KWIM! We are having it delivered next week and I will let you know how this one is! Maybe I can become the next Dear Heloise!

Today's card I had lots of fun making!! I used two Elisabeth Bell Stamps exclusively for SCACD.  On the right is Blowing Kisses, Spring Sampler Collection 2011 and Bubbles,  Sampler Edition 4. Don't they look so cute together!!
