Many Thanks Stamps from My Thoughts Exactly

So my darling boss, Alyssa, the genius behind the amazing sentiment stamps I'm using ALL the time, sent her design team a stack of Halloween paper that I've been itching to use but there is NO way am I going to use it on treat bags that I'm going to see bouncing across the windy school yard! I KNOW you get me-wink wink. We're all guilty of paper hoarding, we just wouldn't be paper crafters if we didn't hoard paper, now would we?! So I get you my darlings, I really do and I'm not afraid to admit it that I only make cards for SOME people. It is easier for me to have someone in mind when I craft. I've tried to just make some willy nilly but I can't...anyhoo on to my ridiculous story-wait- you didn't think you'd get to just look at pictures and not hear my story did you?! Remember darlings I do NOT suffer alone, I take you all with me:)

So I was hijacked into being a chair person for a yearly event at my offsprings' school, Jog-a-thon! We do two fundraising events a year, both so freaking fun, BUT alot of work to get going. Perhaps you're wondering what a chairperson, I certainly did, do you repair the chairs, do you stand on the chairs, do you push people out of your chair? Come to find out it's not that different than being a Mom. You're basically a fur-less border collie- ewwwa - rather a shepherd. However you're not herding the inept, the clueless, the unruly children at school, you're in charge of gathering information from amazing parents at the school. I was basically a volley ball, transferring information, without the pain the volleyball probably endures.  I had so much fun, and at first I was shell shocked, but now I am so in next year! If you haven't tried volunteering at your public school PLEASE do, and take on one of the events, if I can do it and not get fruit thrown at me, why-YOU can too! (The parents at our little tiny mighty school are SO much fun, great people and they definitely have a freak flag they're flying in a non-weird way, my kind of peeps, I've made some new great friends)-so the point of all this is that the activities in the classroom of my children were in the hands of another Mommy. A Mommy who gets my weird sense of humor, has her own weird sense of humor and may I say one of the best cooks in the whole wide world (I'm telling you her whoopie pies are to die for and create a stampede at the school carnival). Anyway she handled the Halloween party at school, in fact she handles most of the parties.
 So don't read this Lisa- not until I get my kids to sign it and hand it over to you, But I love you, as we all do in our little corner of the world-xoxoxo. Oh and she blogs AND has her recipes on her blog...go check my darling girl out at Handmade & Homemade!

I think it's K&Company embellishments...I've been
dyin' to use them.

I didn't use a cutter- I used my nestabilities!

This is another one I made- I used alot of popdots because
I can ;P

 I got a little nutty using my cuttlebug I asked the hubby for a Sizzex big shot for Christmas, I even printed the link to it on Amazon and highlighted all the sweets that I want with it...no, I gave up on being subtle when I he bought me an appliance for the kitchen for Christmas our first year of marriage. Hubbies- Unless you're wife asks you SPECIFICALLY for a kitchen appliance -ie more freaking work to do, don't do it....NO don't listen to your mother, listen to me, don't do it. Trust me-I'm here to help you.

More paper from Alyssa- don't you love the colors?!

Did you go see my evil twin's post? Go on git! You won't regret it, she's always got some new trick up her sleeve!

Thanks for stopping by and a little hint- My Thoughts Exactly- is going to have a great deal on Black Friday (for those of you from other countries- it's a nutty crazy day to get nutty crazy deals on merchandise the day after Thanksgiving)!
