Check out the Stampin' with Kerin's Blog!!!
Kerin has a wonderful blog that I have to visit everyday! She just had over 150,000 hits and is offering some fabulous blog candy! Go check it out HERE!
The Most Beautiful Custom Made Project For ME!!!
About a week and a half ago - several people on LNS were talking about storage for their stamp pads, re-inkers and markers. There were some samples posted and links posted to where you could purchase some. I told my husband about them and he said he would make me one! *Bonus* I showed him some pictures and gave him a stamp pad, a re-inker and a marker and he went to town. Now I thought he was going to make something that everyone would want and would want to purchase from him. Everything he makes as a Master Craftsman Wood Worker is so amazing and I am not sure why I thought he would come up with something that the everyday SU person would want to or be able to purchase! No - NOT MY HUSBAND! Everything he makes has to be quality, almost perfect and a work of art! He came up with the most beautiful piece of furniture you can imagine! It is made out of cedar and probably weighs about 20 lbs. and he even left the "natural look" of the cedar on the bottom piece for me to enjoy. Take a look - isn't he amazing??? I am very lucky that he loves me so much!
Here are the pictures I took as I am very happy with my new treasure. See you soon!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!
A friend sent this to me by email today. I thought it was worth sharing! Have a relaxing and safe holiday. Listen to the song by Lee Greenwood - GOD BLESS AMERICA -and get chill bumps! I am so PROUD to be an AMERICAN everyday, but especially today!
See you soon!
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants,
nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated,
but they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer,
picnics, and baseball games.
See you soon!

ONE FLAW IN WOMEN
I saw this on Pamela's Gallery today and I just have to share it with all of you - the most creative women in the world and the most wonderful to be around! I love you all! Check out her blog HERE
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don’t take “no” for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just
how amazing they are.
