Growing in Unity Day FOUR!

WOW!  I had no idea how much fun I would have this week.

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and laughing at all the shenanigans that go on around here!

Today I got to watch my neighbors baby.  He is so yummy. We love him like he is ours.  We watch him every week.  Carlee and I were singing Row, Row, Row your Boat.... he scrunched up his face and burst into tears!

So please add singing to the list of things we can't do.....  LOL  If you want to hear awesome singing go buy an Adele CD LOL

Now if you want to eat some of that cookie or play with my stamps come on over, I'll even make you a sandwich  LOL

Friendship Rainbow makes me HAPPY!  Anything to do with friendship is a bonus in my book! 

I have the BEST friends.  Isn't it funny how when you are just about to crack a text, email, or call can save you?  I embossed this, shocked?  I piled on so much stickles and glossy accents it almost curled perfectly!  I bent it just a little put on a pop up dot under the exact middle of the stamps and let it dry.  The 'wave' I wanted is perfect!

It takes all I have not to slather ink over everything.  My guess is if one was asked to describe my style it would not be clean and simple.  Simple yes!  The clean throws me off.  But adding all the color made it work for me.  Clean and colorful I can do  :)

Start stalking Unity, That Ang can't stand to not have a killer sale. 

I would love to know, if you are loving the new way of ordering or if you prefer to order straight from your favorite {ippity}chick?

This is the first release I did not stock all the sets.  I'm uncomfortable   LOL

Please be honest and let me know!

Thanks for stopping by today.  You guys ROCK!

Growing in Unity Day THREE!

Hi Peeps!  How was your Valentines Day?

Mine was PERFECT!  I have to share how funny my husband is!

He is a jewelry man, he has given me so many pieces of jewelry and I always LOVE them.  He then went to buying gift cards to scrapbook stores [until they all closed] to now saying Just check out at Unity LOL  That man KNOWS what I LOVE!!

Well today for fun, he wanted to surprise me!

I can not tell you how big this cookie is!  It must be like 16 x 16!  It is the largest cookie I have EVER seen!  I find this so romantic, the gesture is so sweet.  I am not much of a cookie fan truth be told.  He knows this.  Honestly in the last 16 years I am not sure he has ever even seen me eat a cookie.  We LOVE root beer floats and ice cream in any form.  He was actually disappointed that we did not have vanilla ice-cream to put on this cookie LOL  But everyone loves a heart cookie, and with a love note??? SWOON!  {side note, the cookie is AWESOME it is so soft and so perfect I am going to demand one next year! I think I lost my ice-cream birthday cake fans and they are going to want giant yummy cookies for their birthday from now on!}

I know, I know, you want the funny part!  I HAVE to build it up so you get how funny the man I adore really is!  The girls are asking about my favorite gifts ever from him and I am finishing up getting dinner on the table.  Bryan is back in our room changing clothes so I shout down the hall... HONEY, I think this is the first food you have ever given me!    Our house is small he can hear what the girls and I are talking about.  He responds with "YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE REFRIGERATOR"!

THAT man makes me laugh!

He makes me laugh until I cry all the time!

About 30 minutes later he was putting away the dry dishes [our dishwasher is broken and I am not talking about ME  LOL]

He asked me where the garlic press went.  [So maybe he only helps on Valentines Day LOL]  I'M KIDDING!!  He says "Where does this go?"  I say "In the drawer."  He says, "OK, I'll play your SILLY little game!  Which drawer?"

That was when I hit the floor.

Seriously our house is a total mess.  I can keep you from starving to death but you will rarely, if EVER shout THAT WAS THE BEST MEAL EVER!  You will not go home thinking, I am going to decorate like she did!!  What will happen is you will LAUGH quite possibly until you cry.  You might also fall down over a toy.  I still have bruises from a completely stellar digger I took over a princess cash register in front of Morgan's friend I had never met a couple of weeks ago! 

Now, seriously!!  If you want PERFECTION go to Unity and buy some stamps!  Get an embossing gun and some brown powder, it goes with EVERYTHING!  I'd also bet my stamps you will laugh until you cry there too! :)  I will need to be present to keep up my end of the deal.

This is the card that posted on Unity's Blog today!  So easy and so fun!  Embossing the sucker from Sucks To Get Old, is BIG FUN!  I love cutting it out and popping it up.  At the release party we had a HUGE chat with a ton of people.  Coloring came up and I acted like a coward and didn't talk.  BUT I read... like a maniac.  I made this card with Sharpies and Bic permanent markers, thanks to those ladies!  I seriously said OUTLOUD, the worst case scenario is I get to emboss more suckers!  I went to town!  I colored the sticks, the bows, and the solid stripes!  I stamped them all on printed Kraft paper!  So easy, so fast!  If you need me I'll be embossing and coloring.... if I don't like the color of the Sharpie, I'll be adding my glitter pen and fixing it!  SO MUCH FUN!!  The GOOD LUCK with that is from the {ippity} itty bitty Preggo-GOOD LUCK!

Thank you so much for stopping by and please go stamp!  You will love it!  It is even better if you buy {ippity}and emboss!  Please pick me as your chick and please come over for a slice of cookie! Most importantly, if you see my way above average husband, and his funny, love letter giant cookie givin', so DANG much fun to look at self , PLEASE tell him how much I love him!  I do not think he has ever even seen my blog! 

See you tomorrow!  Leave  comment for the chance to win 2 itty bitty's!

Growing In Unity!!

Hi Everyone!  This week it is my turn to be the GIU girl!  YIPPEE!!!!

At the end of the week I get to pick one winner from all of this weeks comments and you get to pick 2 free itty bitty's of your choice from the Unity website!  Good Luck with THAT!  There are a TON of them!! 309 to be exact! They are all FABULOUS!!  You can pick {ippity} itty bitty's too!!  We have 16 now I think!  It might take all week to make the decision so you might want to get started now!  I have been thinking about putting all of them in my wish list and then as I collect them take them off.  That way I can just pick the top few with each order.  There isn't one I don't want and that is the only real problem!  *snicker*

I used My Kitchen To Yours and it is my FAVORITE!!  Do you see how well it embossed, so shiny and perfect!!  I cut the spoons from a QK die called Mixing Bowl and spoon.  They are cut in silver metallic paper that is why they look weird.

I have to come clean here.  I really dislike cooking.  If I didn't have a husband and kiddos I would live on salad and sandwiches.  Lucky for me I have a family so I cook.  I like it only a little better than the clean up which I also do.  What I do like is scrapbooking!  So I scrap all the recipes I try that we like.  It makes me happy to look at this while I suffer through each meal  LOL

I think I have 7 binders of recipes.  Any one new that sees my baker's rack would assume I love to cook.  HA!  So not true!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Please come by all week.  Be sure to start picking itty bitty's now so if you win it won't take a week to decide!

I would LOVE to be your {ippity} chick!

PS this recipe is so good I did a blog post on it a long time ago.  You can print it HERE.



Did you make the party?

That was my first party at Split Coast and I had a blast!

Phyllis Harris joined us and I learned something VERY cool!  She does the artwork for Highlights magazine!  Who doesn't love that magazine?  At 43 I can spend all day hunting down the hidden pictures!  I also mentioned that Miss Emma needs a CAT!  Sadly Emma and her Daddy are allergic to cats but she loves all animals so hopefully we will get a cat soon!

You can get her newest release in a bundle HERE for only $40.00!!

If you look HERE you can see her fabulous older sets and they are all on sale!  How great is that?

You can get the {ippity} release in a bundle Here as well!  Only $24.00 for 5 itty bitty's!  That is $4.80 a set!  What a screaming deal!

I think this one is my favorite!  I have already made 2 cards with it! 

Or maybe this on is my favorite.  I have made 2 cards with it and used the sucker EIGHT times  LOL  I love embossing it and cutting it out LOL 

If I had to pick one for a favorite for the Phyllis Harris release I think it would be this one.  Emma reminds me so much of Carlee and Sassy is almost as big as Brandy LOL

That is a case of paper, her favorite spot.  She has dented the lid in  LOL  Please excuse the giant mess of SU stamps that need to be unmounted and the strips of paper Carlee insists on pulling out of the trash to play with Sassy.

Thanks for stopping by today!
