St Patricks Day Hostess gift & projects

Today I am at a workshop in Monett, Missouri and this is the hostess gift I am gving to Betty.  She requested a St. Patricks day theme for her workshop, so here are photos of our projects today.

  

I will pick up some of those gold candy coins on the way and fill her basket with gold for good luck! What other demo brings gold to her hostesses? huh? ;o)

These are my 2 demonstrations:

 

This is the simple make and take card using the new GO GREEN # 117074 $6.95 single stamp set page 43 Occasions Mini catalog.  I love how we have single stamps in the back of our catalogs now!

 

 2 views of the same card open and closed- VERY easy to make with the 1 3/4" punch, embossing folder, go green stamp, cardstock and some ribbon!

I hope your weekend is amazing! I Know mine is

I am beginning to feel better, thak you for all your emails about the accident.I am praying for God to remove the anger from my heart because she didn't use her blinker and asking him to help me recover and get back to my life.  We did find out the insurance totalled the Durango (huge tears here we loved that vehicle!)  they are giving us diddly squat for it and we cannot add a car payment to our budget so we are stressed about what to do now.  Anyhow- thanks again for your prayers and well wishes, you guys are amazing and I am truly blessed!!

 

Oh! Here is a shocker to all who know my Katie,  she will turn 18 next week!  GASP!!

 

more bad news today from the insurance company- durano totalled not giving us enough to buy another car with- we cannot add a car payment to our budget- dont know what we will do

I was in a Car accident yesterday

Yesterday I was on my way to our church in Marshfield, Mo to take food and serve at a funeral dinner. I was passing a VW bug and as I went around around it she suddenly turned left and I Tboned her.  Do people truly NOT understand the reason for using a BLINKER? And that the law gives you a certain number of feet to turn in on before you turn?  And that checking your mirrors before turning is required as well?

 IF she had used her blinker,  this would never have happened!!!  I am sore, bruised and hurting.  No broken bones, no ambulances.  I am truly blessed that Heavenly Father watched over me during this accident! And Glad he was watching over the other driver as well.

Today I cancelled Wed class (well last night I did- sorry Karen I forgot to call you but glad you stopped by lol)  to rest, the medications I have been given make me very groggy and tired but I wanted to read a few emails and post this so you know what happened to me-  not the post I wanted to share but

because of this blinker issue,  I want all of you to REALIZE JUST HOW important using the blinker in your car really is!!! And YES! IT CAN happen to you!

 

The blue is a VW bug and is the car I Tboned, the red durano is me

  

The shadow figure is me, taking the photo with my cell phone camera. 

If she had looked in her mirrors and turned on her blinker BEFORE turning this would NEVER have happened!  How is a driver to know you are turning when you dont use your blinkers?

  

 

So anyhow,  I never made it to the funeral dinner, but the food did! (thank you to my friend Debi for helping me and to her hubby Carl for waiting with me till Kay arrived! you guys are awesome friends!)

I have a great TIP for you!  USE the "press and seal" plastic wrap by Glad on your food because...  the huge stainless bowl I had the salad in, I had the press and seal over the top and it bounced all over the place and never lost a drop of salad!  The bottle of dressing ended up in the passenger side dash by the window tho.

All in all, the muscles in my entire body are sore and hurt today with the exception of my feet, my chest hurts a lot becasue of the good grip the seat belt had on me YAY!  thank you God for seat belts because I would either be dead or in worse shape  if I had not been wearing it! I did go to the ER and nothing is broken, but I do have 3 prescriptions for my aches and pains and they make me very sleepy so am leaving you all to go back to bed.

I am truly very sorry this happened. PLEASE tell your family and friends to USE THEIR BLINKERS ALL THE TIME WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO TURN, and prevent anything like this happening to them!

hugs to all

Both ink types are acid free and come in pads and ink refills.

8.5 x 11 crop night Page using My digital studio!

I love our Friday night Crops here at my house!  I created a page using My Digital Studio by Stampin Up! to celebrate the occasion:

 

I put whisper white cardstock in my HP printer and chose "borderless" printing, then printed it out!  I can now add this to a 12x12 page and add some more embellishements if I want to (not sure at this point) Thought it would be fun to put it in a frame and hang on my studio wall and see if the gals notice! roflol

 

I have been madly creating projects so check back tomorrow for something stinkin cute!

have a great day
