Lovin' the EARTH...

Lovin' my CRAFTY friends.... AND Cosmo Cricket!

Here's, basically, how we roll:




We ARE fun! {At least we think we are!} hee hee

This card goes out to all the fine folks who shared the collective creative vibe, SO GENEROUSLY, with me, this weekend! I had the FANTASTIC good fortune of gathering with some of the BEST crafty friends, locally, for several FUN-FILLED days and nights, so the world seems far more sparkly to me today. Nothin' like plenty of LAUGHTER, good food and terrific accommodations to make the creative heart swoon!





I had more EARTH LOVE "festival" going on {I loves me my Cosmo!}, but everything looks even sweeter, when you've crafted in good company!



Sometimes, good quality time with good people can REALLY rejuvenate the spirit and HEAL what ails you... {Just sayin'...}





I sure hope that YOU'RE DANDY, wherever you are... The gift of "virtual" crafting, together with you all, is something that enlightens me, each day! Thanks for dropping by!

You can leave the light ON!

That's right! It's day number THREE of W9's big SIX-MONTH-AVIRSARY ~ mega release extravaganza! And I'm keeping the creative light ON! And, in my mind, I'm hearing that guy who used to do the voice-overs for Motel 6... {I sure hope that was, at least, a NATIONAL ad campaign....} He used to say "I'm Tom Bodett, for Motel 6, and we'll leave the light on for ya!" It was most inviting, and his voice was simply hypnotic! It made the thought of crappy motel room coffee, the whirring of an ice machine {all night long} and paper-wrapped soap seem so homey and inviting...

I wonder if that's where Dawn got the idea for this fabulous sentiment?

I don't know... but she's got a BUNCH of 'em! CHECK OUT ALL OF HER NEW STAMPS! There are images and coordinating backgrounds and sentiments galore!!! On her blog, she's released all of the images for your viewing pleasure and SOON you'll be able to buy them for YOURSELF! Not to mention that you might WIN some, if you've been playing along... {!} And a little bird told me that Savitri's got some candy at her pad as well.... {Oh, we ARRRRRE fun! hee heeeee!}

Now that the top secret images are viewable, I must say that I got busy and mixed up SEVERAL of Dawn's new darlings, and even combined those AWESOME rays from Courtney's "You're A Dandy" {*Swoon!*}, some Design Basics: Backgrounds II, AND some of my favorite images from the new release from THIS set, Guiding Light! It was a FESTIVAL of the stamp in my lil' Scrapland today! I hope YOU feel the light and grab some of these babies while the gettin's good...

But if, for some odd reason, you're not TOTALLY convinced that Dawn's latest release is a "must have".... {hee hee} visit THESE happy and satisfied designers for more divine inspiration!
