Happy Memorial Day Weekend

I am taking a break from stamping today (sort of!) although I do have some things to post. This morning our little town had its little Memorial Day Parade. It is short & sweet, but it is meaningful in its own way. My DH was in the Navy Seabees, so he likes to march with the other participants. It is an emotional time when you think about all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives so we can live in this wonderful country. We should pray every day, thanking the Lord for the blessings we have.

The local Lions Club and Seeing Eye Dogs--doesn't it look like the dog is waving?

Thanks for sharing a little of our day!

Now for some quickie stampin' stuff: these are some cards I stamped during the week for a stamp club girl who is expecting! She wants to make her baby announcements with a Wordsworth stamp, so she asked me for some suggestions. These are what I've come up with so far; I like to make very simple cards when I know my customers are going to be making a lot of them!!

These are fairly simple, and there are ways to make the steps even easier: the star and the squares on the pink card can be punched out, and the bottom portion of the sailboat can also be punched out using the SU 1 1/4" punch!! How easy is that? TFL!
