waiting for rain...

Well, we are sitting around here waiting for the terrible storm to hit. We are supposed to get hit bad but so far nothing but sun! Let's hope it stays for a bit, DD has a birthday party at a farm (don't know what they would do if it rains). Then I have to start putting away the 7 loads of laundry I did yesterday! YES, 7! Then I hope to do some stamping...still have to do the teacher's gifts! But in the meantime, here I am surfing through some blogs...
Here is a great contest for you...and she has a great blog as well! Take a look and you could win a $25 gift card to Joann's...The Wooden Porch: Contest: $25 JoAnn Fabrics Gift Card
And, one more card I did with my MIL's stamps before she left today...I love this set...The background I did with the rough texture wheel in brown and then just swiped the white ink pad over it. I have been looking at the big roll of mesh (from Home depot, it's really spackle tape only $2.99 for a HUGE roll) so I used that and added this scrap of ribbon at the bottom. One thing I found out while doing this card is that you CAN use your blender pen with a pigment ink pad! Maybe I am the last person on earth to figure this out but I was psyched! That's how I got the white on the ivory paper! These little things make me so happy!
