Oh my.....I am so excited.  I am a first time grandmom!!!!  Little (?) RJ was born on Monday at 7:29 pm.  He is so handsome already.  I am just a little proud.

The reason for the (?) is because he weighed in at 9 lbs 10 ozs.  And he is 22" long.  What a surprise for all of us including the doctor.  On Thursday, they told Danielle that the baby weighed around 8 lbs.  They were wrong on that.  Danielle did great; six or seven contractions of pushing and out he popped.  Richard cut the cord.  The doctor told Danielle that she didn't have a baby; she had a toddler.  They came home today, so I have been a little busy.  I am so happy and grateful that they are all healthy!!

It was a great Labor Day Weekend and we are back from Potter County, PA.  Sad to report that my hubby did not win the horseshoe tournament, but we had fun with all our friends up there!!

The winner for the August special was Wilma.  She will have a choice between the Table Top Cutter or the Typeset Alphabet Die set for free.
The 2nd place winner was Sandi and she will get a free embossing folder.

Now -- to come up with something for September.  Check back for the September special

I  have a little surprise for you.  Anyone who places a $30.00 or more order with me or on my website (www.bevscards.stampinup.net) from August 10-31  will be placed in a drawing for a table top cutter or the new Typeset Alphabet Bigz  die cuts on pg 192 of the IDC..  Each $30.00 on the order will give you an extra ticket in the drawing.  Hope that will give you an incentive to buy those products that you have been wanting.

Wow, finally back from convention.  Lisa and I had such a GREAT time.  We met lots of new friends and got lots of swaps.  Our upline, Amy Celona, made us the most adorable purses out of Stampin' Up! material.  Everyone wanted one too!

Here are pictures of the new bags Stampin' Up! offered in Momento Mall.  Of course, I got several of each..... go figure.

I didn't get to post any swaps yet, so here are a few pictures.

Hope to get more posted tonight.

Project Instructions

Select three prints and one glitter solid. Punch two sets of circles for each eye using a ½", 1", 1 ¾" and 2" circle punch (total of four circles for each eye). Adhere these together and attach to the bag 2½" up from the bottom.

Cut a small triangle from a coordinating print; adhere in place just under the eyes.

Take the top section of the bag. Fold it over just above the eyes to create a crease. Extend the top of the bag back up. Fold the corners in to create a triangular top and fold back down above the eyes. Fasten in place using Glue Dots® or an adhesive foam square. 

Cut a square from a final piece of printed paper from the stack, ensuring that it is at least ¼" smaller than the width of the triangle. Fold the square in half diagonally and lay it over the top of the bag, with ½ of it showing in the front and the rest in the back.

Embellish your owl by adding a “bow tie” or “hair bow” with the gingham or polka dot prints.

Repeat as needed.

Insert your surprise, reseal, and enjoy handing out your party favors!

Tips

Customize your owls for girls or boys -- hair bows for girls and bow ties for boys keep things fun and extra cute!

Wow, where is the month of May going.  Just to update everyone, my father who was in University of Maryland intensive care since March 30, passed away on May 4th.  So I have been a little occupied dealing with the loss of both my parents in less than 2 months.  It has been hard, but I will survive.  Thanks to everyone for their love and support in helping me through these past months.  Thank you all!  I especially loved getting your cards.

I need to post the winner of the Treasure Hunt..........Lisa - you have won.  I will send you an email to get your address.  Congratulations.

Don't forget the current catalog expires on May 31st --- Not June 30th.  The new catalog is open for ordering on June 1st!!  You won't believe the great things in the new catalog.

I am planning an Open House for June 6th.  I will have catalogs available and a make and take.  I will also be matching new product to old product.  In other words, if you order $30.00 from the new catalog, you can pick $30.00 of retired product for FREE.....yes, that is right.....FREE.

Remember - June 6th at my house (194 Vineyard Drive, Port Deposit, MD), 5:30 - 9:00 pm.  If you RSVP, you will get a little extra surprise.

See you on the 6th!!!
