Stylish Blogger Award!!

Thanks to my beautiful daughter, Megan over at Trumpet Wives Club for nominating me for the Stylish Blogger Award! Thank you sweetie!  Make a Mama happy and visit her blog please. 

So, I've been asked to list 8 things about myself:

1: I was born in Texas but raised in Louisiana.

2: My family calls me the "Cat Lady", but I only have 3..that's not too many IMHO :-)

3: I'm a die-hard NASCAR fan. My favorite driver is Tony Stewart, but I also like Dale Earnhardt Jr.

4: I would love to own my own scrapbook store.

5: I have double-jointed thumbs...random, I know.

6: My dream is to one day own a 1970 Plum Crazy Purple Challenger RT...sigh!

7: I love Purple, see #6

8: I have 3 beautiful children, 2 girls and 1 boy. They're all grown now, or almost, and I miss them all.  Empty nest syndrome is not fun :-(

Just a little inspiration for you...

'The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, yellow lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. 

But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.'

Sorry I haven't been blogging too much lately.  I've been busy going through Recruit Crew training and getting ready for a home workshop this weekend.  I will get back to blogging on a regular basis next week.

How to Use Stampin' Up!'s New Punches

I love Stampin' Up!s new punch body style!

What are the advantages of the new style? 

• Storage - They are stackable or your can store them in the new Punch caddy that is perfect for taking your punches with you to a crop. No more digging through drawers or bins to find your punches.
• Ease of use - Great if you have arthritis because you use your whole hand instead of your thumb.

Watch this helpful video by Stampin' Up!s own Bonnie Thurber to learn how to use the new punches.

Happy Punching!
