raccoon-militiaSo if you’re a blogger, you know how incredibly addicting the “dashboard” or “stats” area behind your blog is.  I find it fascinating that people find my blog from, most recently, Russia. 

Or with a search term like  ”antique die cuts series naughty boys”.  WTF?  I tried, I couldn’t solve that one.

Most of the time, I can figure out where the interest generates.  There was a Cafe Mom thread where someone must have linked one of my projects because for weeks,  I was averaging 20 visits per day for this post. But the message board was private.  I even signed up for a Cafe Mom account, but that particular group was still private.  And I don’t know how far I was willing to submerge myself into the terrifying mom world of manic toddlers and diaper rash just to satisfy my own curiosity about WHAT ARE THEY SAYING ABOUT ME!?!?!  Hee hee… that’s scary stuff, man.

Another of my non-stamping posts seems to have caught the attention of Europe (ya,all of it).  It is clicked on at least once daily, but for a while, this post was being hit hard every day.  The post was popular because somehow it hit the radar of this blog – “Fun Thing to do at work“.   I really hope it wasn’t to make fun of me… “that silly American chick – she’s such an American- pffft!” 

But that’s just it- how did that blog find my post? The randomness of the interwebs astounds me.   Right now the popular search is RACCOON.  And my longtime readers know what that means.  The ERM is active again.  Everyone, grab your apples.  New readers, you can educate yourself on the ERM HERE.

Hey!  Guess what!?!

I’m posting.

and not only that, but i’m POSTING PICTURES OF CARDS I MADE!

Take a gander at the cards we’ll be making at my Christmas Card Stamp a Stack.  

ChristmasSAS-2009-webslides

Well?  What do you think?  Okay, ya, i totally CASE’d 2 of them.  But they are from 2 of the best stampers out there, so it’s all good.  I’ll give the deets on that below.   The other 3 were inspired by others, but my own creation- which amazes me that I still can stamp something cute (if i dare say so myself!).   And it was… FUN!  I am such the “pressure stamper”. heh. 

Now- I came up with an idea- maybe other demonstrators already figured it out- but I really wanted  “HO HO HO!”  for the “Just Beclause” card, instead of “Be Merry”.    So I went to the personalized stamp section of the IB&C (page 137) and ordered “HO HO HO!” using the Wedding Special Date one line stamp (#116480).  I also thought “Believe” would be nice in that font for the “Dasher” card.  So I ordered both!   They should be here by Weds so I’ll upload a new version of both cards then.   If it hadn’t been for the single stamps available on page 208, it may have never dawned on me to make my own sentiment.  I love that SU has started offering single stamps under $10.

HI! It’s been a while and I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking about this year and all the crazy stuff that we’ve been doing and how busy we’ve been. And you know what? I FEEL SO GRATEFUL that all of it has been FUN!

And last weekend was the culmination of 10 months of planning and anticipation- my sister in law Veronica got married. There has never been a more perfect & fun wedding in the history of the planet. All weddings from now on will never live up to this one. Sorry girls. :D
I do have some photos to share if you’re so inclined.   Nick & Veronica’s Wedding on my Flickr site.   Enjoy!
