Hi peeps! I am bushed....we had a busy weekend and I just didn't get any stamping done! I did want to share a couple of cards that I received recently that I thought were pretty special! This one is from my upline, Pennie, a beauty of a card featuring copper embossing and accents:
The next one is from my sweet friend Sandy; this Halloween creation is just so fun, plus it had some stickers in it for Cassidy:
and finally, much to my amazement, THIS card is from the PRESIDENT of Stampin' Up!, Rich Jutkins:
I hit a milestone in sales and he wrote a personal note on the inside, congratulating me! I must say that I was quite touched and honored! I don't know if he made the card; he could have, I have seen him stamp at convention, but one way or the other, it made my day!
I don't have any Cassidy pictures, although I should have some tomorrow, but I thought I'd share a couple photos of what was outside on my porch yesterday afternoon:
I have been waiting to see a preying mantis for a few days now; every year around this time, I usually find one on my holly bush, but I haven't had any success so far. Here, this little guy (or gal!) just popped by to say hi, right on my porch railing! Just check out these eyes:
I wonder what he's thinking as I stick my camera in his face, LOL! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
Congratulatiions are due? Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a great photo of your praying mantis! We have walking sticks around here, and you've inspired me to get a clseup next time I see one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your SU milestone! Thanks for sharing the awesome pictures of the praying mantis-I have never seen one in real.
ReplyDeleteI think the praying mantis is such an awesome insect. I think God really knew what He was doing when He created them, lightening bugs, walking sticks...but I do question Him about ants, spiders and roaches :-) I love the tree card. I think I will case that one. So simple, yet elegant with that copper! Have a great week and TFS.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh your picture of the praying mantis creeps me out a little. I was out my back door the other day and one landed on my head! I freaked and in trying to brush it off it came in the house. It was huge! Not a good day!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO lucky to have visitors like this, LeAnne! I can't wait to show this guy to Tom! Awesome cards, and what an honor to receive a card from Mr. President - wow, must have been a big milestone!

Congratulations- it must have been quite a milestone! Your upline's card is lovely- I've got to get some of the copper goodies. And I love praying mantises. They are fantastic looking.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Great cards and wicked cool pic of the mantis! never seen one so close up before and from someone real! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLoved every single card you shared today, LeAnne! And a huge congrats on your milestone with Stampin Up! Great pictures of the praying mantis on your porch!! Love the upclose & personal one! hehe! I usually see them around too but so far I have not. They are an interesting creature for sure! TFS and have a wonderful day! :)
ReplyDeleteWAY to Go! LeAnne! Congratulations. LOVE those milestones!!! :) Thanks for sharing the cards today. Get some rest dear one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your milestone in sales, you rock!! All of the cards you received are wonderful. Didn't God create some amazing creatures for us to marvel at!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shot!! So glad you finally got to see one this season. ;-) And, congrats on your sales milestone. I had one earlier in the year!
ReplyDeleteWay to go girl! How exiting to get a card from Rich! And on a different note......love those insect pix!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne...... what an amazing photo of your Mantis. Great shot my friend and I am so glad that you welcome him and not squish him - that look on his face shows that he knows, it, too!
