We have had several days of dreary weather and rain. However, we didn't get too much like some places 🙁, but we DID need rain. I decided I neeed to do some catching up on stamping so I made and sent 4 cards.
What have you been doing on these rainy days - or sunny ones, if it was sunny where you live?
I stilll have a few more to make/send, so back to the drawing board.

Today is to be the 14th and final day of our stamping challenge. The challenge is to do a live. I have never done that, but I have uploaded a video. So. . . I just ordered a phone holder to try my hand out at doing a live. That will come as soon as the holder comes. Check back Friday or Sat.
Until then, I am busy sending birthday cards t for one of my grandsons and his father, whose birthdays are 4 days apart.
It is always nice to have some cards ready to go so I am not scrambling at the last minute. So a hint for those of you who stamp is to make two of each card you make and then you will always have extras when you need them.
Good luck with that and have fun stamping. I would love to see some of your creations. Share if you are willing.

Day 12
One of my favorite things about Christmas Eve is getting together with my family and playing Minute to Win It Games. We always have a blast and winners get Dollar Store (or now $1.25 Store) prizes.

Do you have a favorite family activity?

So here is an "Oops" moment for me that should bring a smile to your face:
I often take clothes I am done with (or outgrown - you know how that is!) to a thrift store. I took several items to a local store because they were too tight. In the folloowing months, I lost a little weight, and I was also making a trip back to the thrift store. I looked around while I was there and saw this really cute blouse. Tried it on, it fine just fine, purchased it, and took it home. After geetting home and putting the blouse on, I realized it was MY OWN BLOUSE that I had taken to the thrift store on my last trip. Last laugh was on me! I bought back my own blouse. Oh well, at least the organization got a little money from me.
What "Ooops" thing have you done that is funny?😂😳

A random winner will be chosen on Tuesday, Sept 19th.

If there is one thing that you could do as a first choice what would it be?
Read a book
Watch Netflix
Sit on the beach
Celebrate Christmas
Do arts and crafts

I am torn between all of these, for sure, but here is something I DO like to do a lot!
