It was 20 years ago today that I moved to Charlotte the first time ...

It was February 25, 1989 that I packed up from FL (after living there my whole life) and moved to the Carolinas. There was 12" of snow ON THE GROUND and I remember thinking "what is all that sand on the ground?" LOL I laugh at that now of course but I had never seen so much snow like that stacked on the ground. I lived here for 10 years, then we moved back to FL and now we are back in the Carolinas again (for 3+ years). It sure doesn't seem like 20 years ago that I moved here the first time. I usually can't remember things. I wonder why I remember this date. I know why, it was also the same day I had a car wreck in my Honda Prelude. What year I don't remember but I think that's why I can remember the "date" as I had 2 things to remember this day.

Meet Luvvie!!

This is one of my favorite new stamps. I have actually had her a few weeks. I got her from Funky Kits over in Scotland. I believe 5 new girls will be coming out real soon and I think I may have to have some of those too. Have you seen the sneak peaks that are out? Catch a Falling Star is one, Keep Watching is one, One for Laura is another, Fancy Cup of Tea is another and Celebrate is the last one. I can't wait until they become available.

Another Rubber Cottage image


I love this bird. I have no idea what kind of bird this is but it looks good yellow don't you think? I think I will give this to my MIL for her birthday (in July!). lol I also used chalks on this image too. (Why don't I use my chalks more often?)

I love this horse stamp ...


and just had to get it at the stamp convention yesterday. I don't own a single horse stamp and I just love the fence too. This stamp is by Rubber Cottage. I think I bought 4 or 5 stamps from Rubber Cottage. I used my chalks on this too.

Alpaca show or Rubberstamp show????


Hmmm, that is the question of the day!! LOL This morning Charlie was kidding and said do you want to go to the alpaca show (we've gone the last 2 years) or to the rubberstamp convention in Columbia?!! WHAT? A rubber stamp show is close by? Heck, let's go to that. So off we went. I say "we" because he wanted to go to a train store somewhere in Columbia so he did that while I went to the stamp convention. It was a small stamp show but I managed to help the economy and spent some $$$!!! In fact, here is what I bought (see above).
