STAMPIN in the SON !!!!!

Baby Shower Postponed...;o(

I woke up at 1pm all excited to give my friend her gift and when I went to leave it was snowing. Now I know it snows in most places but here in New Mexico if we get an inch of snow the world shuts down!!! I think all of NM has 3 snowplows. The cool thing is, that when we do get snow, it's usually gone by noon the next day.;o)

I'm from Chicago and my hubbie from MN and we find it hysterical that people out here can't drive in snow.  But it's better to be safe than sorry. Everything is either shut down or postponed when this happens. In the past we've been stuck with no food for a weekend and lived on PB & J.

The baby shower has been postponed until this Sunday. So I will post the other 2 gifts I made her Sunday night and Monday afternoon.

Until tomorrow...STAMPIN in the SON!!!!!    jenni

POEM on Lid of Can

Baby books are great ideas,
but sometimes you're too busy.

Living with a little one
can put you in a tizzy.

Milestones pass too fast at times
to find the proper page.

So, jot a note of each event
with date and baby's age
like "Took 3  steps on May 1st
or teething-5 December"),
then drop it in this memory can
to help you remember.

Until Tomorrow...STAMPIN in the SON!!!! jenni

Happy New Year

          HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I learned a long time ago never to make New Year's Resolutions cause I'm really no good at keeping them! ;o) Either that or I set unreal expectations for myself.  This year 1 of my 2 resolutions is to be more in touch with my bussiness, my  customers and my friends.  That means more blogging, more workshops and classes, and more web tutorials and neat ideas! Hopefully, I'll be posting at least 3 times a week so check back often! I have lots to share.

The other resolution is that this is the year of organizing my home and life. I'll keep you posted on that one as I get started.

Until Tomorrow...STAMPIN  in  the SON!!!!!    jenni
