Occasionally, I sit down and make a bunch of generic cards that may be used at a later date for any event. Here's one...
Pretty papers and pleasing punches were all I needed...
Who wouldn't be inspired with this paper...
An inside greeting and a handwritten note is all this happy card needs!
HAVE A FUN AND SAFE LABOR DAY!
(Of course you're invited to the BBQ!)
Oh! The location is.... Well... I'll get back to ya!
Stamp Hugs, Linda

Oh my! I am having stamping withdrawals! First it was due to the re-organization of my stamp room! Now it's the kids! (More on the kids later.) I simply love being your Stampin' Up! demonstrator... so when I'm not able to stamp, it is just unbearable!
Do you LOVE these little Curly Qs??
I made them to look like itsy Ssss... for Stampin'...
My Stampin' Bear has missed my stamping too!
Life without stamps is unbearable for both of us!
NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY... The re-organization of my stamp room is taking longer than I estimated! (Well, of course it is.) Never-the-less, I'm nearly finished and very pleased with the transformation. When completed, I might even take some photos. <grin>
AND ABOUT THE KIDS... Our son-in-law and youngest daughter (Barry and Krystal), have recently accepted a call to be the senior pastors at Monterey CA Church of the Nazarene, over 1,000 miles from here! In spite of my wishes, they are planning to take our 3 granddaughters with them (Kamille, Kara and Kassidy). Most of their belongings have been taken away in PODS to be delivered to their new home... In order to prepare their current home for the real estate market (that's a whole different story), they have moved in with us for a week or so! Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way... However, with everything going on here, stamping is close to impossible! These few days and hours are golden and I wouldn't trade a whole hour of stamping for a single hug. Every moment with the kids and grandkids is precious.
So even though it is UNBEARABLE not stamping for you for a few days, my love of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is ummmm ummmm good great fabulous, and I really do LOVE being your demonstrator!
While in the process of sprucing up my stamp room (with help from hubby and grandson who are doing the heavy lifting and hammering and power tooling and all that guy stuff), I'll show you a few masculine cards in their honor... (Read comment below to see where these fabulous cards originated!)

While attending a Stampin' Up! event recently (our annual Convention), I found a (lost) bag of 32 cards. I brought them home, and on July 21st, posted a LOST AND FOUND note on a Stampin' Up! chat room board. No one has claimed them, so I decided to share a few with you today. If you know of someone who lost a bag of cards, put her in touch with me so I can mail them to her. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these more masculine cards as you think of the guys in your life who help with projects around the house - or not!
My stamp room is upside down!! I'm painting and cleaning and re-arranging! I'll be back in a couple...
