FALL - SO BEAUTIFUL!

Hi there,
Just want to share these pics I took the other day. We had this gorgeous double rainbow after a rather dreary rainy day.

The sun shining through the leaves gives them such a great color!
I really love the fall colors. The sad thing about fall is that it is followed by a long dreary winter season.

CALENDAR COASTER MAGNETS





These coaster calendars are also for the swap I am in "ANYTHING BUT A CARD". I again used some designer paper which I had lying around. The calendar is a free calendar courtesy of http://www.incompetech.com. The stamped images are from the OFFICE ACCOUTREMENT set and GARDEN WHIMSY (Thank you Kerry for letting me borrow it!).

COASTER FRAMES





I made these coaster frames for a swap I am in "ANYTHING BUT A CARD". I used a variety of designer papers I had lying unused, variety of accessories. I hope they will be liked by whoever receives them. They are all unique as I did not have enough of each to make for of the same. I also thought as it is something that will be displayed in the home it should be unique. It was quite a fun project.
Thanks for your comments!

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!


I got this card with a blog candy I won at MY STAMPING SMILES. Isn't it gorgeous! I won a square punch some flower brands, some red plaid brads a cute THANKS stamp among other things I can't remember. I think this card is made using the round and oval punches, the SU Petals and ? set (don't have it so the name has slipped my mind). I really like the extra detail, like the black brads for the antenae and the great piercing. THANK YOU!!

10/10 WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

This blog quiz caught my eye as I have only taken ENGLISH for one semester in Bible College. I have basically learned my English at home. My Mom got some workbooks for us and I love to read.



You Scored an A



You got 10/10 questions correct.



It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.

If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.

As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.

And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.





As for me and my stamping, I don't know what to say. I have not been inspired at all. Will have to set some stamping goals for this week. Give me a push!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL CANADIANS!

I'M BLUE

Hi there,
Just thought I'd share this little blog quiz with you.




You Are a Blue Crayon



Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.

You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.

On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.

However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.



Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.
