I am just checking in. Its been quite a few weeks since my last post and I wanted to explain my absence. My mom had knee replacement surgery on October 21st. The surgery went very well and her knee is healing just as it should be. She starts outpatient physical therapy tomorrow so she’ll continue to get stronger every day.
Along the way though she has had some other medical issues come up that have slowed everything down. After coming home from one hospital, she was admitted to another one four days later where she stayed for five days. I’ve been with her since the surgery and I’m her unofficial nurse. If you know me, you know that blood makes me queasy (that is putting it mildly) so thankfully there’s none of that! I’m dispensing pills, cooking meals, helping with physical therapy, and doing whatever I can to help my mom.
I brought many of my crafting goodies to my mom’s house but haven’t had a chance to sit down and create. I have many ideas swirling around in my head but actual sitting down and crafting just hasn’t happened yet.
If you would like to place an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, the November host code is: A2J6ZHYU. If you place an order, you will receive the monthly ordering special projects but they will be a bit delayed. I have not yet posted them but you will receive them. I hope to have them posted this coming week but we’ll see . . . .
All stamp sets are eligible during this sale except Bundles and host sets. Bundle are not eligible for this promotional discount, but they will retain their current 15 percent Bundle & Save discount. The stamp set from the bundle may still be purchased ala carte with the 15 percent promotional discount.
There’s no limit to the amount of discounted sets that you can purchase.
Place a minimum $25 order in the month of October at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code this month (October Host Code: GU6J472B) and I’ll send you all the materials you’ll need to make the three projects below.

Today is the day!! ALL stamp sets (except Bundles, Host Sets and Clearance Rack stamps) are 15% off! The sale will continue until Friday. Now is the time to get those stamp sets you’ve had your eye on.
My card today uses a single stamp that I think often gets overlooked in the Annual Catalog, Sweetbriar Rose. It’s a single stamp and is wood mounted.
I enjoy the look of a watercolored image but I have a really difficult time with an aqua painter and reinkers. I bought some Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens (these are not carried by Stampin’ Up!) some time ago and finally had a chance to give them a try with this stamp. Using watercolor paper, I stamped with Versamark and then used white embossing powder. The pens were very easy to work with and I’m looking forward to coloring with them again!
The base of my card is Whisper White and my watercolored flower is mounted on Melon Mambo. My sentiment is from the set One Big Meaning. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop my flower up.
My mom is having knee replacement surgery this morning. We will be spending the day at the hospital and when she can come home in a few days, I’ll be taking care of her. If I get a little behind in my posts this week, that’s why.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
