Another super fun release!! Please hop with us!!

Hi Peeps!
Whoa!!  You ever have those days when it feels like a big pile on??  I am surviving that LOL  My cute daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted on Tuesday and her ride has not been fair!  The silver lining in even with a trashed lip, and swollen face she is still super beautiful and I can make her laugh!  :)
Speaking of silver linings, I had to line these clouds with my silver wink of stella.  I could not skip it.  I needed to see our silver lining :)
The way to go is much less shiny in real life as well as the lining on the clouds.  Now that I see this here on the blog I am seeing Way To Go!!  You let go of the balloon.  That is not what I saw when I made it. LOL  I thought the heart on the balloon was just cute and added to the clouds :)  The girls are cheering one another on!! 
 and Little Lads are darling right?  Tifany DeGough added the perfect sentiments too!  
 OK, Did you see this??  55% off??  GASP!  Oh how I adore a Unity sale!!
HUNDREDS of stamps $10. and under???  *SWOON*
Please be sure to do the entire hop and leave comments along the way!!
I hope the fabulous Kelli Picks YOU!  
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
and if you need a laugh, look how Morgan's sweet friend visiting her fixed my stuck sprayer today so I could clean the kitchen.  *SNORT* 
I can call it Redneck, because we ARE rednecks :)

Hi Peeps!!!
I am sure you have seen the sale but I must start with that.
Order 3 not a typo, THREE stamp kits and you get 60% off your ENTIRE order???  This makes me gasp out loud and cover my mouth!  Right before I did the happy dance.  Bryan LOVES it when I save him so much money.  He totally appreciates the Unity sales LOL  :) 
I am very clever, here I am distracting you with my new baby fish.
I attempted blending colored pencils with odorless turpenoid.  I blended until I thought my hand might fall off!  I think I love water coloring too much to love this type of blending LOL Luckily Angie Blom does not get offended too easily.  Willow Girl still looks beautiful. :)
Please be sure to leave a comment on all the blogs in the hop today.
We will have two winner and you will get these awesome kits!!  I bought all 3 of these.  I love them and you will too!  Good Luck!  

 Here is a closer shot of the babies.  Do you have fish?  I think purring cats and swimming fish have fixed dang near every single thing that has ever broken me.  I love them.  I spend an insane amount of time watching them and a lot of the time while holding my purring cat.  Double the therapy.  :)
Guess what I did yesterday?  At 47 I got my first two tattoos!!
I have lost both of my parents and the fish and cats have not been able to ease that heartbreak.  The jury is still out if these have helped or not.  I cried about oh, 15 times yesterday admiring these.  :)  Only twice so far today :)
think pretty Darling!  I love you, Dad in my Dad's handwriting. 
Love, Mom in my Mom's handwriting.
I had stacks of books with the ippity butterfly picked out for my Mom and an awareness ribbon in purple for Alzheimer's for my Dad and I backed out of all of it.  Just their writing was enough for me.  And not just because of the pain.  I just love how perfect they are without anything else.
I LOVE them so much I wanted to hug the artist, his name is Matt Sager!
I did tell him this was my first one day stand, I was breaking up with him.  My foot hurt so bad I wanted to back out of my wrist.  He didn't even skip a beat he responded with Oh No you aren't!  You'll be back just like the rest of them!  LOL
My third and final tattoo will be my Girls thumb prints making a heart with their names in their handwriting.  In like 10 years when I have forgotten how damn bad my foot hurt!  LOL
Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you all have perfect days!
Take some time to tell your parents how much you love them, or pet a cat until they purr and watch some fish swim and remember how fantastic they were and how you hope you can be half as good as they were!

HI PEEPS!!!!
How are you today??
Thank you for hopping with us today!!
I hope you arrived from Natalie's Blog!  It is nearly embarrassing to follow her!  :)
I can hardly wait to get home so I can do the hop myself!!
$1.44 shipping!!  Don't you just love that?  Shopping in your pajamas and next to nothing shipping... My fave way to shop!! 
I have a BIG LOVE for Phyllis Harris.  I think I own every stamp she has made.  Well guess what??  I went to go visit my Sister for a few nights.  While she wasn't making me sweat like a pack mule with hundreds of biting bugs getting our steps in, she was teaching me how to water color!!  I did 2 card faces with her and they are not finished yet, because well I needed to color more I could not be slowed down for details LOLOLOL  So, below is my 3rd attempt!!  Don't gasp and run away!!  :)  Seriously, it's not so bad right??  :)  You get some water color pencils.  Carla the world's BEST Sister gave me her SU! set.  I think she said they are 10 years old!  They still work GREAT!  You scribble them on lightly, grab a cup of water and a paint brush and get to water coloring!!  It is total therapy!!  Do you have a Hobby Lobby?  Their water color pads are on sale this week!  I got 2!  One 90 lb for printing on like below and one 140 lb for heat embossing on.  I have not tried that yet but I will and I will let you know!  I got 10 paint brushes for like $5??  I know everything was under $15!! SCORE!!!  I also got mineral spirits or something for colored pencils on regular card stock!!
Back to Phyllis Harris and her stamps.  My love kicked up a notch to HUGE LOVE!! I used The Unknown Path.
I need a new Wink of Stella pen.  I gave it  little squeeze because no glitter was coming out to bling up the surfboard.  Good gravy a puddle about 2 inches long came pouring out.  Don't squeeze your Wink's my friends!!  So it is MUCH more shimmery then I had planned but I can't complain!  Bring on the shimmer!  I love that stuff!!

I need to be reminded to breathe when I see that water mark.  I really don't mean to brag, I am just so in love with this entire gig I can't stop talking about it.  Not going to lie.  I blurted out to Carla HEY!  I am on the Unity DT, FYI!  LOL She loves it as much as I do.  No one in the world knows my love for Unity better than she who started this GINORMOUS LOVE!   
How are YOU celebrating the 4th?  I am watching my God Daughter and her darling twin.  Then when her parents bring their big Sister home from Wicked we will have a BBQ and eat until we an eat no more! 
10 brand new stamps for $6.00.  Do you ever wonder if our best girl Angela has slipped and whacked her head when she has these killer sales? 200 stamps up to 70% off??  Really??  YIPPEE!!!!  Never question a good thing, just run with it.  That is how I lead my life :)
OK, please do the whole hop and leave a comment along the way!  This week there are two winners and take a look at this prize!!
That heart stamped bag makes me smile HUGE!  Aren't you dying to know which Unity Peep stamped that?  I think I would keep my new water color pencils and paint brushes in it!  Along with the blender pens :)
Good Luck!!
Today I am hopping with these super talented girls!!
I warned you last time you would want to run away and stamp.  Did you?  :)
Next please hop over to Shermaine's blog!

Thank you so much for stopping by and all of your awesome comments.  If you have a question please email me noellereese@q.com I feel bad when your profile is private and I can't answer you!
Have a safe and fantastic 4th!!
