Things to Do - while sick

Well, it's been a great week.  I started in being sick on Sunday, stayed home on Monday sick, went to work on Tuesday - thought I was better, and back sick again today.  I am feeling much better this afternoon, so I'm hoping I'm through!!  But while I am sitting around feeling puny - I decided to put away my stamp garage sale stuff - Wendell was getting extremely tired of it taking over the living room. 
I went through the stamps and updated my sales list, cutting some prices and counted eyelets forever - well almost, and have them set to go.  So here is a listing of what I still have.  I just really don't want to store it any more, so please want it!!  If you see something you want, make me an offer.  I still have stuff to go through, but this has to go first.  Ever been there?

So now I can rest and maybe take a nap. 

In the meantime - my poor grandaughter has hives.  She had an ear infection last month and they gave her amoxycillin.  She was fine with that, and got well.  Then about a week after her checkup, she started acting cross again, and Mel took her in and she had an ear infection in the left ear again.  Back on amoxycillin, but she didn't seem to improve.  Today she had a couple of red spots - thought they were bug bites, but by this afternoon, she was covered - looked like chicken pox.  Mel left work and took her to the Dr and it is hives.  So, new antibiotic for the ears, steroids for the hives, and hopefully back on track for a well, happy baby.  I continue to be amazed at how happy Ember is.  Even when she doesn't feel good, she will smile and try to be pleasant.  We just love her. 

 

In another month, we'll be adding a new granddaughter to our family.  Her name will be Auvryn Mae and we're anxious to meet her.  Ryan & Sami are so thrilled about becoming parents.  It's been fun to watch them prepare and get so excited about it. 

 

Last thing today.  Jenna just arrived home bringing the news that she has been asked to Homecoming - Sept. 29, so now we better get busy thinking of a response, a dress, and all of those other things that go along with dates in High School. 

 

Hope you are having a great day.

August Upon Us

I can't believe how fast July went past.  Summer is flying by at an alarming rate, but I can say I will welcome the cooler temperatures.  Days on end of 90+ degrees is just not very tolerable for me anymore.  When it cools down at night, I'm ok with it, but it hasn't been even doing that lately.  I just want to set in front of any a/c unit continually.  Not so good for the electric bill. 
We are getting ready to hit the road for a short vacation soon.  We are going to visit Wendell's parents in UT and see a few things in UT and NV.  Will be short, but much needed.  We had hoped to go to NE to visit S&H, but the budget was just too tight this year.  Hoping we can make that happen next year, unless they get sent someone new by then. 
Sean had the opportunity to fly over to England for a TDY (temporary duty) in July.  It was fun to see all the neat pictures he took and the many places they were able to see while there.  He and Heatherly are having a great time seeing lots of things and doing lots of fun things just around the Omaha area too. 

I still am trying to get all my retired stamps & accessories sold.  I have put very low prices on everything, so it's a real deal.  I will be having it all on display this Wed and/or Thurs evenings, so come on by to see it and find some bargains.  There are stamps, paper, ink, eyelets, ribbons, chipboard, and more.  Nothing is over $10 and there is even a table of free stuff.  Come by to see it all. 

I've decided this must be the month for showers and weddings.  We went to 2 showers for 3 people on Saturday - and there had been one earlier in the week.  We have 5 wedding invites hanging on our frig, and I am just wondering when we might get more.  But it's fun!!

I hope you are enjoying your summer and will have time to relax as well as do lots!!  Keep smiling and stamping.

Still stuff to Sale

Well, I still have lots of stamping/scrapping stuff to sale.  As of right now, it is all out on my tables.  If you want to come see, please give me a call.  All of this has to go to new homes.  I am going to start putting it on the internet, but I'd much rather have it go to a home here in the area rather than having to put it in the mail.  There are lots of stamp sets, paper - single sheets and brand-new unopened packets, some ribbons, lots of eyelets, chipboard, and even some stamp pads and glitters, and sizzix dies.  I have a table with free things, and still a few catalogs from last year that are free. 

In other news, it is time to start looking towards the fall/winter holidays.  If you are interested in hosting a party so you and your friends can pick up your supplies for the holiday cards and items you are making, call me to set a date. 

I still host a card exchange each month.  There is a great core group that participates, but it would be awesome for more to join us.  There is a theme each month, and it is posted on my Stampin' Up! website ( www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/janahernstamps/ ) We each do cards in sets of 5 (they are all alike with envelopes).  You can do 1 set, up to 4 sets.  You get back as many as you do.  They are due the 20th of each month.  Within a few days I will have them sorted and ready for you to pick up. 

I am very busy these days with my sweet granddaughter.  She is the cutest baby on earth (of course) and we just have a blast with her.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  Time flies when you're having fun!!  I dread the day her mom leaves to attend college and takes her away. 

Well I hope you are having a wonderful summer and getting lots of memories made.  Hope to see you soon at my garage sale, or at a workshop.
