Sites of the week

Glitches…
Well, we are up and running, but still working out a few “kinks.” If you are using Internet Explorer (IE), you are seeing jumbo sized pictures. We don’t know why right now, but we are working on it. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, you see the pictures in their “normal” size. BTW-I highly highly highly recommend Mozilla Firefox for your internet search engine. My DH, who is *a bit* more up to date on technology, introduced it to me a few months ago. I will never go back! It’s free, so at the very least, it is worth checking out!

And Such…
I have 3 BIG THANKS to hand out:
1. To you for following me here!
2. To Aimee at Creative Montage for designing my new banner
3. Last, but not least to my super duper wonderful DH, Tony. He spent many hours setting up this site. He has always been a major supporter of my craftiness, and I thank him for that.

You are going to get to know Tony a little better. Not through me, though. He is going to be my “Sunday Morning Stamper.” In other words, he will be writing little bits and blurbs on Sunday mornings. He’s pretty witty, so you won’t want to miss his little rants.

No creations posted yet…aaack!! I promise to be uploading creations this week! Now that we are up and running, I can get to sittin’ and stampin’!

We are live!
Thanks so much for making your way over here! There are a few posts that were brought over from the blogspot account, so you know you are in the right place. This is the place that I will call my home, well at least for my blog and some other topics. As you can see, not all the pages are filled out yet. The first Guest Designer will be introduced to you on March 1st.

Well, I’m not going to go on and on for this very first iheart2stamp.com entry. I just want to say once more, THANK YOU for visiting my brand spankin’ new site! I look forward to bringing your more stamping creations, as well as a bunch of other good stuff.

My mom is 100% Swedish~and proud of it!! She bought a few Swedish style stamps for me and this is my first time dipping them into ink. These stamps were purchased through an online store named Ingebretsen’s. They are great quality stamps…deeply etched, nice cushion and a quality wood mount.
The horse that is featured in this picture is called a Dala Horse and is major part of Swedish culture. I colored in the horse using a combination of watercolor brush with Craft ink and markers. I really like watercoloring with Craft ink, as I feel the color stands out a little more.
Well, this is the 2nd post for the day. Hopefully it makes up for the couple of days that I have taken off.

Coaster Box kits are still available. Only a few left. Email me if interested.

My DH sent me a forward (ack!!) of quotes yesterday. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do
what it says on the aspirin bottle: “Take two ” and “Keep away from children.”

–Author Unknown

“Oh, you hate your job? Why didn’t you say so? There’s a support group for
that.. It’s called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.”

–Drew Carey

“My Mom said she learned how to swim when her parents took her out in the
lake and threw her off the boat. I said, ‘Mom, they weren’t trying to teach you
how to swim.’”

–Paula Poundstone

“A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills
than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: “Duh.”

–Conan O’Brien

“Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I’m halfway through my fish
burger and I realize, Oh my God…. I could be eating a slow learner.”

–Lynda Montgomery

“I think I know how Chicago got started. Bunch of people in New York said, ‘Gee, I’m enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn’t cold enough. Let’s go west.’”

–Richard Jeni

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

–Mark Twain

“You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look
that says, ‘My God, you’re right! I never would’ve thought of that!’”

–Dave Barry

“Everybody’s got to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer.”

– W. C.. Fields

I have had a few inquiries about purchasing a coaster kit like the one that is shown a couple posts below. If you are interested in purchasing a kit, I am selling them for $8 + shipping/handling. S/H in the US is $2 and S/H to Canada is $4. All other countries, please email me for a quote.

Kit Includes:
