Lauri's Stampin' Corner

Oops! I missed one of the pictures that I wanted to share with you from my birthday cards! I took the picture, just forget to add it when I blogged all the other cards...sorry gals, I didn't mean to leave you out! So here's another picture of a couple more of the cards that I received for my birthday! The one on the left is from Teresa (love that fold!) and the one on the right from Michele. I love the flowers on them and so special and cheery for a December birthday! Thank you Michele and Teresa!! It was so fun to get these special cards in the mail! I hope that you're sending out those cards that you're creating, and not just putting them in a pile because you're going to make another one someday!! I have made it one of my New Year's resolutions to not miss any family birthdays this year, but to remember them all with a hand made card and note...even though some may be a day or two late! How about you? Dickson's sister and family are leaving tomorrow to

The new mini catalog is online today! I've been warning you that you will want it all!! Click on the catalog on the sidebar and take a tour of all the fun new stuff from Stampin' Up! If you haven't received your new catalog yet, let me know and I have some that I can get to you. It's so fun to page through it in person!

Dickson took them into the mountains to play in the snow for a bit on Monday, so they got to see and fee

Happy New Year! May the Lord's abundant blessings shower down on you through the coming year. I'm anxious to see what changes He has in store for us next! It's definitely been a year of change for us! We moved to Elko, NV from Rapid City, SD back in July, my husband is now a school teacher...a huge change for him!...and I'm a stay at home Grandma, helping watch some of my grandchildren now! Who would have known?? I love the extra time I have to stamp and create now, and I love being here and watching my grandchildren grow up! The only thing that would be better is having them all in the same place!! We'll be adding another one soon...just 6 weeks away! So excited to meet her! Gabe has nicknamed her Anchovy! (Hope that one doesn't stick!) I wanted to share some of the awesome birthday cards I received in December. I love them! I have some pretty creative friends! Thank you all for the beautiful cards! They will be cherished! The one on the left came from Ellie
