Well, did you miss me? It's been almost eight hours since I posted last. I guess I just can't stay away. No, it's just a busy week with lots of fun stamping and things to share. I hope ya'll don't mind! This post is all about
announcing the new Design Team for
My Favorite Things! We serve on the team in six month increments and I am super excited to announce that
I'M A KEEPER! I'm on the team for another term. There are a couple of changes and someone is saying goodbye, but you'll have to check out
Kim's Blog for all those details.

Before you do too much celebrating my acheivement and start
'wasting away in Margaritaville', check out this little tourist covered with oil! She's a real beauty...another Pure Innocence stamp from
My Favorite Things called
Beach Bum and I'm loving her dark hair I colored with several shades of my gray and charcoal Copic markers. Never did that before, but I had seen other friends try and I had to do the same. A Mexican Cutie? I dunno, ask
Jimmy Buffet.
SUSIE Q-TIP: It's a good idea to place your die cut "cutting side" toward your cardstock before running it through your Cuttlebug, Big Shot, etc. Otherwise, you end up with some very nice uncut, but embossed cardstock. Kinda cool if that's what you're looking for, but not so much when you wanted a pretty shape-CUT. Don't ask me how I know this, I don't want to talk about it. Tips like these alone are the number one reason Kim keeps me around, I'm sure. I'm just a wealth of knowledge and a valuable asset to the team. Glad to help.
