Close To My Heart

....and maybe more!

An important note:

I will be selling tickets to the upcoming Students For Change Dinner and Dance Fundraiser to be held on Saturday, May 30th.  Tickets are $40 each.  This is a licensed event.

And I will also be selling Big Kahuna BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce, $10 per bottle.

Both the Dinner and Dance, and the BBQ and Hot Sauces are being sold as part of our fundraising efforts for my son Cole and a group of other wonderful local students, who will be traveling to the Galapagos Islands later this year.   

Working in partnership with Free the Children, this group of kids will get to travel into the heart of Ecuador's lush Amazonian rainforest, where they can experience one of the most diverse ecosystems. And more importantly, they will have the opportunity to work with indigenous communities building sustainable solutions to the education, healthcare and agricultural challenges they face in Ecuador.

If you cannot make it out on May 2nd, but would like to purchase dinner and dance tickets or the BBQ or Hot Sauce, please contact me and I can get these items to you.

Please come out and support these local teens!

Have a Day Full of Fun

While I wait to find out if they can retrieve my old hard drive...

Learning Curve in Progress...

Please bear with me while I learn how to use my new laptop.

My posts may be a little sparse over the next little while.

Long story short, I dropped my trusty ol' laptop on Saturday and had to either be without for three weeks and anywhere from $200-1200 to fix, or bite the bullet and buy a new laptop.

I decided to buy a new one.

The new one is a Mac, so I have a bit of a learning curve on it.

So far, so good.  lol

I just hope they can retrieve all my photos from the hard drive...  fingers crossed.

Take Note Card... April SOTM

Can you believe it is April already!!!

Time is really flying by so far this year for me.

And as usual, a new month means a new CTMH Stamp of the Month for April, called Take Note.

I love the vintage typewriter and that it comes with so many different sentiments.

For my card, I paired Take Note with papers from the Seaside packet.

Turned out pretty cute, I think.

If you are wondering how I made the pierced circle, it is actually a Spellbinders die set that I picked up at our local scrapbook store in March.  (It is designed by Richard Garay, for those of you who may be interested.)

~~~~~~~

Here's what the set looks like, just $5 with a minimum $50 purchase (or you can purchase it at the regular price of $19.75), shown in the CTMH Corporate artwork shown below.

Happy creating!  :)

Supplies used are all CTMH (unless otherwise noted):
Paper:  Seaside; White Daisy, Sorbet, Glacier CS; Tan Sparkle paper
Stamp:  Typed Note
Inks:  Glacier, Sorbet, Saddle, Cocoa
Embellishments:  Aqua Dots, Sorbet 3D heart, Bitty Opaque - retired
Other:  Pierced Circles dies (Spellbinders), Micro-tip scissors, 3D foam tape, Sewing Machine (Kenmore)
