Inkin' Up the New Rubbah

This past Saturday we went to Fort Worth to meet up with my LOSTIe sistah Emily to buy her Crop in Style XXL, and to meet up with our old friends Shane and Lisa and their kids for lunch and a trip to Cabela's. It was great to see Emily again and meet her husband and kids. And it was great to see Shane and Lisa and their kids again, too! It was way too much for my little damaged brain, and I'm still recovering from major over-stimulation and over-tiredness, but overall I did amazingly well given the amount of stuff that we did.

So, anyway, we met Emily and her family at a stamp store in Fort Worth AND the store was having a "garage sale." Talk about bargains! :) Between this trip, my LOSTie sistah Rachel's sharing of bargains in Idaho, my recent trip to Stamp Salado, and gifts received from my secret sistah Barb, I'm well stocked with new rubber. Here, have a look....


I stayed home from work today after waking up "seizurish" and deciding that it wasn't safe for me to get behind the wheel and drive. I took advantage of the marvelous quiet time and got creative. I made three cards today, and tweaked one I made last week.


I bought this set (Haunting Halloween, by Stampin' Up) on Saturday at the stamp shop. It was gently used, and I was tickled to get it. I've wanted it for about a year, but I'm not a big Halloween fan and couldn't justify the cost to buy it new.

Cupcakes are all the rage these days, and I've held off on buying this set. However, at the stamp store Saturday I fell head over heals in love with it and it HAD to come home with me. :)
