Simply Betty Stamps - Secret Pumpkin Swap

Simply Betty Stamps - Facebook group

Secret Pumpkin Swap

Some months back, I signed up for a Secret Pumpkin Swap on the Simply B Stamps Facebook Page. For those who signed up, we were each given a name and address to send to...Of course, I got the head hancho, Miss Betty Roberts at Simply Betty Stamps...So you'll have to skip on over to her blog to see what I sent her....

It seems that the wacky and crazy Katya Bess over at Katty Xotica's Kreations got my name and boy did she send me some great things...A wonderfully decorated box (I don't have those where I live); I love it!!!! Bling, brads, stickers, card stock, a die, Reflections papers, some candy, and Prisma Watercolor pencils.
I daresay that Miss Katya outdid herself. Thank you Katya!!!!!!


Please join the rest of the Secret Pumpkins in the hop:

Summersween Blog Hop

Hi Everyone! Boy, it sure has been a while. I do hope everyone had a great summer and now that kids are back in school, you can relax a bit. For me, it's crazy. I am very happy that my kids are back in school because now I get a little bit of a break.

During the summer, I participated in the Summersween Exchange at Simply Betty Stamps Facebook Page. Several of us volunteer to do this. We were given a partner and were to send a package of Halloween/Fall inspired items. My partner was Jackie, and here is what all she sent me:



Love it all!!!! Especially my box as we do not have anything like that here...

Here is a list of the hop:

Hi everyone. I have been given the pleasure of being apart of the Scrapper's Delight Paper Craft New Release Blog Hop. For this hop, I was given Megan School Girl to work with. She is just so cute and because the Fourth of July is upon us, I've gotten her ready for it.


I've used white cardstock for the bi-fold card with a blue piece of cardstock embossed with chevron. From my stash I used a shabby flower and some star eyelets.

Come join us in the hop!!!

Happy 4th!!!
