Thailand was truly a trip of a lifetime, and it did my heart good to be with Stampin' Up! friends and family!

A highlight for me so far here in Thailand was our visit in this cool contraption to a local village, stopping at several homes, and learning about how the people live. Such a beautiful country and beautiful people! 

Steffi is the first European to achieve such an incredible milestone, and we're so proud of her!

Sweet Mary Ellen has achieved a million in sales...very deserving of an over-the-top card!

In Relief Society (the women’s organization in our church) yesterday, I facilitated the lesson and began with the question What Does Patriotism Mean to You? There were women from other countries, and it was inspiring to hear their passion for home and country.

A cool seventeen-year-old probably cares more about the birthday gift ($$) than the simple packaging, right? 

Not everyone went on our annual Lake Powell trip, but those who did will remember this one for a long time!

Ashton turned twelve at Lake Powell—a longtime tradition for him. Instead of wrapping his parents’ gift in traditional wrap, his gift wrap was personalized with hand drawn lettering and drawings by family vacationing at the lake. Since Ashton likes all things camouflage and enjoys shooting targets with his bow and arrow, our gift packaging was personalized too—with stamps and ink!

When I was looking for a photo to include in Pam’s memory album, I came across this gem from over a dozen years ago. It makes me happy every time I look at it, knowing I have a dear friend in Pam. Thanks for YOU, Pam! 

Here are the last two cards from my stockpile. 

May is Arthritis Awareness Month in the United States, but no matter where you live, you probably know someone with arthritis. It’s like any disease with good days and bad days. Although there are lots of things to make life easier and less painful for people with arthritis, I wanted to share a few tools I appreciate on the not-so-good days.

Ruth and her husband Steve were welcomed in grand fashion at the home office in Riverton!

With a little imagination, and a few crafting supplies, you can create just about anything!

I sometimes stockpile cards to share, and then I forget to share! So, I’m posting two cards today…

Welcome to my new blog! It’s got a fresh and fun look, you’ll see more at a glance, it should be easier to navigate, and you can view it on your mobile devices.
