Good Morning fellow deskers. Hoping you have bright sunshine and a wonderful day. It's Wednesday the day we share our workspaces with our lovely hostess Julia at the STAMPING GROUND
I have my 3 grandkids here from Cedar Rapids, 14, 12, 9 yrs old, so it's a pretty simple week.
Swimming, movies, grandpa entertains outdoors, with gardening, 4 wheeler rides, feeding barn cats etc..and a 89th Birthday party tomorrow for my Mom.
Yes, imagine I bought a card, I liked the verse and didn't know how much free time I'd have so I just decorated the envelope. We have a party at the Assisted Living for the residents and any family who wants to come (they'll be a lot of us).

Each county in the rural areas had a group of interested girls ages 10 to 18 gathering once a month, learning cooking, sewing, wood working, etc...had a set project to do within that month and did demo's at the fair.
Have a great week, thanks for stopping by.

Love those flowers, we call them pansies here in England :) Thanks for visiting - Autumn's my favourite time too.
Happy WOYWW!

Wow, I'm assuming that someone had a patent on the stamp platform before Mr Holtz launched his then? I think the lady who owns Mostly Animals was the first to use and sell such a thing, I have one. It must be fifteen years old at least. Marvellous tool. Hope you have a marvellous week with your olde grandchildren. What is 4-H? sweet uniform for it!
Can you take the three kids from next door to me please they are driving me mad. Roll on the new school year

Congratulations on the arrival of your stamp platform. I have the large Misti, but managed to bag the Tim Holtz one at a bargain price and absolutely love it! If your mum is anything like mine she always prefers the verse to whatever is on the front of a card. I have started taking a small notebook with me when I visit card shops or sneaking a photo of any particularly nice verses with my phone. Happy WOYWW Sarah #25
hope you enjoy your platform. Seems like everyone has to bring out the same stuff as everyone else.. lol!! Glad Julia asked about the uniform, I have no clue either! Helen #1
What a fun blog post! Will you let us know how the new platform is working for you sometime soon?
Happy WOYWW!

You have had a busy time Sylvia! I love reading about all the different things you've been up to. Hope you've had a great time with your grandkids too :-D. I loved the old name for violas - is that because they seed freely and pop up everywhere?!

Lovely Johnny-Jump-Ups (that's what I call them too!), one of my favourites too! Sounds like you are having a lovely time with the children, great memories! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #30
Let me know how you like the TH stamp positioner! I was thinking about one of those but unsure about it. Those flowers are so pretty, what a nice sight right outside your door!
I think you'll love your new stamp press. I have one (another brand), and I wonder now how I ever stamped without it.
Hello dear, sounds like your grand-kids and you are having a wonderful time together :) Happy summer days. The violas between the stones are so sweet and beautiful, I love how they can pop up randomly in such places, unexpected yet more than welcome. Your envelope is beautifully embellished. Enjoy your stamp press! Big hugs xx
